The ingredients are better than those of other products.
ConsI use it as a night care, but when I wake up after using it, my face is extremely oily. I also sometimes get small pimples. The fragrance has a somewhat artificial feel to it, and I think it will be divisive - I personally disliked it.

Moisturizing Power My skin is combination, leaning towards dry. After pregnancy, my skin became extremely dry, so I would frequently apply various products as needed. However, this cream maintained my skin's moisture even the day after using it. 2. Skin Texture Improvement Due to the dryness, my skin texture was rough, but after using this cream for about three days, the texture visibly improved. Even the feel of my skin when cleansing is different now. 3. Refreshing Texture I thought the thick formula would feel heavy and sticky, but it finished with just the right amount of moisture, which I appreciated.
Cons1. Lack of Absorption The absorption is a bit slow, and I feel like the product sits on the surface. Those with severely dry skin may find it difficult to use this alone. 2. Fragrance It has a somewhat metallic, unpleasant scent, reminiscent of an ointment. 3. Jar Packaging As I prefer tube packaging, the jar format was inconvenient for me.
TipPlease layer this cream over a water-based toner or serum, and gently pat it in with patience to ensure proper absorption!

While typical barrier creams can feel heavy, this product is soft and moisturizing, which I liked. It may feel a bit stuffy for oily skin types, but it's unavoidable when using a barrier cream. I purchased it during a sale and am generally satisfied.
ConsThe need to use a separate spatula is a downside. I haven't noticed any other significant drawbacks yet. + The artificial fragrance is a bit strong...

I think this type of formula is actually better because it doesn't make my makeup smear. It's so moisturizing and absorbs quickly, whether I use it in the morning or at night!
ConsThere might be some potentially harmful ingredients... But it hasn't caused any breakouts for me! The fragrance is a bit synthetic, which is a bit disappointing...
TipI have extremely dry skin, so I apply a layer of cream as the last step and let it absorb, then I apply one more layer right before bed. That way, my skin stays moisturized even in the morning!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. Texture and Application The formula is a highly concentrated cream that has a soft, supple feel. It's not too thick, and it adheres closely to my skin, helping to replenish dryness. Creams are often the same, but this one has a noticeable gap between application and absorption, which is important. It applies very smoothly and richly! 2. Ingredients The main ingredients are ceramides, as well as Moisture & Serum, Ectoin, and sweet almond oil, which help prevent moisture loss and stabilize the skin. The absorption is also excellent, leaving my skin feeling firm and fortified! It's like a protective barrier for my skin. As someone with sensitive skin, I'm glad to see this product has undergone low-irritation testing, so I can apply it with confidence. 3. Benefits It feels like a step above a regular moisturizer. In this dry weather, it's a must-have, as it helps repair the skin barrier and soothe roughness. Beyond that, it provides basic hydration and balances oil, making it very effective for sensitive skin. It really upgrades the function of my compromised skin barrier. My skin feels so firm and resilient! 4. Usage Tips Of course, I apply it after my basic skincare routine, but sometimes when my skin is lacking moisture and feels damaged from the dry day, I'll put it on right after toner. The result is that my skin recovers by the evening. It's so good!
ConsThere's nothing disappointing about this product that can be used even on sensitive skin, but the scent is not very pleasant - it's like the smell of ointment. I apply it with the mindset of putting on medicine. These days, I'd much rather have a product with a good natural fragrance than one with artificial additives that try to mask unpleasant smells.
TipAs I mentioned before, if I feel my skin has become rough and damaged on a given day, I'll apply more of the product than usual to help restore my skin barrier. It works wonderfully!

First of all, thank you very much. The dryness has improved a bit. It was dense, moisturizing, and good in terms of moisturization. Although the texture was a bit heavy, it was not sticky at all, which was good. It seemed to have a soothing effect, so the itchy or irritating feeling has improved a bit, so I thought it was okay.
ConsThe ointment? The unique medicinal smell was not very good. I wish it had been unscented, as the medicinal smell was a bit too strong, which was a bit disappointing.
TipI massaged it in evenly a couple of times. By adjusting the amount properly and massaging it in well, it seemed to have a better soothing effect, and the dryness also improved a bit.

The vitamin line-up is also very well-made, and this Cera Barrier line seems to be performing well too, leaving me quite satisfied. It feels like it really locks in the moisture.
ConsWhen I first opened the box, there was an extremely strong chemical smell. It wasn't present in the actual product, but I have to admit, it was quite a shock...

The T-zone is quite oily and shiny, while the cheeks are dry and dehydrated. Lately, I've been enjoying applying a rich cream before bed to combat the dryness. ☘️Usage Experience: Compared to other creams, this one is quite rich and applies a bit heavily. That's why I prefer to use it at night before bed rather than during the day. The texture itself is very smooth and soft, not thick and heavy. It has more of a moisturizing cream feel rather than a heavy, greasy one. When first applied, there is a slight oiliness, but that goes away after some time and it becomes more supple. Since it can be a bit oily, I recommend using only a bean-sized amount. ☘️Moisturizing Effect: As someone with dehydrated skin that tends to feel tight overnight, I found that this cream helped alleviate that dryness. It also seems gentle enough not to cause any irritation or breakouts, even on my sensitive skin. I would recommend this cream as a winter moisturizer or a nighttime dry skin solution. Honestly, I've never tried Holika Holika's skincare line before, as their color cosmetics are more well-known, but I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this product is. It's on par with many other dedicated skincare brands.
Cons☘️Fragrance The only downside I noticed was the fragrance. I generally prefer fragrance-free products, and this one has a typical cosmetic scent. Because of that, I've been applying it only on my cheeks and forehead, avoiding the nose area. However, if you don't mind fragrance, it shouldn't be a major issue.
Tip☘️I would recommend this cream as a winter moisturizer or a nighttime dry skin solution.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI became a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and used the product for 3 days. I liked the spreadability of the product. The creamy texture applies smoothly and feels light even after application, without a sticky feeling. The absorption was also good. When first applied, it spreads well, and a few minutes later, I could feel the cream staying in place even after gently rubbing the skin. It is effective in covering redness and treating blemishes. After using it for a day, the redness of my blemishes faded, and after two days, the blemishes disappeared, and the redness also lightened. In the winter, I usually have persistent reddish skin troubles, but I was satisfied to have a smooth, white complexion. I recommend it for dry skin. After applying the product, the face becomes slightly dewy, and the moisturized feeling lasts for hours, so it may not be suitable for oily skin types. I intend to purchase the product after using the entire sample.
ConsThe review mentioned an artificial fragrance, so I was curious about what it would be like, and there was a distinct pungent scent. It does become more familiar over time, but I thought it would be better if it were fragrance-free. After using it, there is a sense of clogged pores and heaviness. I generally prefer a more fluid formula and don't notice heaviness easily. On the days when I used the product after morning and evening cleansing, blemishes appeared on the outer areas of my skin at night. When applying it in the morning, I felt the product remained on my skin until the evening cleansing, and when applying it at night, I could still feel it even after waking up. I didn't experience any blemishes when using it only in the evening.
TipIf you are not extremely dry-skinned, I would recommend using this as a night care product.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture is slightly thick and heavy, but it absorbs well and leaves a nice finish. I'm originally from an oil-producing country, and my skin gets very dry in the winter, so I needed a cream like this. Applying it and sleeping on it, my skin feels softer and more receptive to makeup the next day, which I'm quite satisfied with. I was worried about it clogging my pores and causing breakouts since I have oily skin, but fortunately that didn't happen. From the reviews, it seems like there's a bit of a love-hate relationship with this product among those with oily skin types.
ConsThese days, there are also fragrance-free products for dealing with blemishes, but this one has a subtle artificial fragrance, which I'm not a big fan of.
TipFor those with dry skin, this could work well as a night cream - apply generously before bed and wake up with skin in great condition, ready for makeup. As someone with oily skin, I think I'd find it a bit too heavy to use during the day, as it might make my skin get shiny too quickly.
