It's somewhere between a cream and a serum - a bit softer than a cream with a slightly oily texture. There was no greasiness, and it absorbed into my skin smoothly, leaving it feeling hydrated and supple. It works great both under a cream or as a standalone moisturizer. It's absolutely perfect for this cold season! I'll definitely be buying this with my own money when I run out. Another thing I loved was the packaging! The jar-type pump container made it so convenient to use. I've used foundation in a similar container before, and it always dispensed just the right amount. Since I tend to apply a lot of product, this type of packaging is ideal for me. It's hygienic too. I'm really impressed with everything about it!
ConsThere's absolutely nothing I disliked about it. I was completely satisfied with my experience.

The consistency isn't too thick, so it absorbs well into the skin. Packaging: I love that it comes in a pump bottle, which helps maintain hygiene. Hydration: I used to have extremely dry skin around my mouth, causing my makeup to crack along my smile lines and chin. This moisturizer has completely solved that issue!
ConsOccasionally, the product doesn't come out when I pump it. However, giving it a good shake usually does the trick, so I'm still able to use it without much trouble.
TipIt works great as a makeup base too! I have dry skin, so I apply a generous layer before going out, and it quickly gives me a matte finish.

True to its name, it's a cream in serum! The texture is just right - not too thick like a cream, nor too runny like a serum. With winter making my skin so dry, a hydrating cream is a must, so I was thrilled to be chosen as a Hwahae Tester! The scent is subtle, almost fragrance-free, so it shouldn't be polarizing. It absorbs well without feeling sticky. Overall, I was very satisfied with this product!
ConsWhile the pump dispenser is convenient, I was surprised when nothing came out after pressing it once or twice at first! You need to pump it several times to get the product flowing.

It's so easy to control the amount too! The texture isn't too thick, making it perfect for applying lightly before makeup. Even though my skin tends to get dry and flaky in winter, this cream was surprisingly hydrating and moisturizing.
ConsI didn't really find any downsides, but those with extremely dry skin might find it a bit lacking if used alone.

It's perfect for the current weather - a cream that feels nourishing without being too heavy. The absorption is absolutely fantastic! I've never used a cream that absorbs so well and feels this good. It also seems very hygienic!
ConsThe only downside is that it's hard to tell how much product is left. Other than that, it's wonderful!
TipPersonally, I found that layering toner pads, brightening serum, hydrating cream, and then this cream works really well together. This cream seems to maximize the effects of the other ingredients too.

The packaging is unique for a cream, which I appreciate for its hygienic design. While it might be challenging to use up every last bit, I find it convenient and clean to dispense just the right amount with each use. I expected a thick, winter-appropriate texture given the name 'Ceramide Barrier Cream', but I was pleasantly surprised! Perhaps due to the 'serum' in its name, it feels like a blend of cream and serum. As a result, the finish is refreshingly light and not at all greasy. As someone who wears glasses, the finish determines how often I reach for a product, and I've been using this as my daily moisturizer with great satisfaction. It applies thinly and smoothly, but once fully absorbed, it leaves a thin, oil-like layer that provides excellent hydration. Even in this cold weather, I only need to use an essence and this cream, and my skin never feels dry. Those with dry skin might benefit from applying two layers, while those with oily skin could find it suitable for winter use due to its light texture. Just note that it contains shea butter, so be sure to check the ingredients before purchasing! It seems to help repair the skin barrier, leaving the deeper layers of skin feeling firm while the serum-like quality provides a comfortable finish on the surface. It's a cream I find myself reaching for often. Highly recommended as a daily winter moisturizer!
ConsWhile the packaging is great for hygienic use, it's hard to see how much product is left and difficult to use up completely.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- Packaging: At first, I thought the jar-type container would let dust in, but surprisingly, when you press down, the cream comes out from the middle. It's ingenious and so convenient to use. - Scent: It's not unscented, but has a subtle, fresh fragrance. Perfect for those who dislike the typical smell of unscented products or strong fragrances - everyone can use it comfortably. - Oil and moisture balance: I always thought ceramide creams were thick, but this one isn't. Rather than being oil-heavy, it feels like it has a good oil and moisture balance. It's similar in feel to the Witch Factory Thermal cream I'm currently using, but slightly richer. It definitely gives a strong sense of deep hydration. - Ingredients: The ingredient list doesn't show any major red flags. Even with my sensitive skin (from trying a new color-depositing shampoo that affected my scalp and face), I was able to use this without any major blemishes.
ConsIt's less rich than I expected. I like the Thermal cream, but many find it drying. I suspect this product might be similar in that regard.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Hwahae Testers review: As it's winter, I've been concerned about hydration, and being extremely dry-skinned, I'm really satisfied with how this cream feels! True to its name, it has a wonderfully moisturizing texture. While it's excellent for hydration, it's not as thick as you might expect, but rather a refreshingly moist type. It applies smoothly, making it perfect as a winter moisturizer for combination dehydrated skin. After observing all day, I noticed that while I usually experience tightness, it was less noticeable. However, for very dry skin, it might not be quite moisturizing enough. Of course, this is based on my extremely dry skin... Still, if you apply it twice, allowing it to absorb each time, it's really great to use without needing any other moisturizer.
ConsFor extremely dry skin, the hydration might be slightly insufficient. Make sure to apply and let it absorb twice.
TipIt's great to apply generously in the evening as a substitute for a sleeping pack.

I was skeptical about a brand known for color cosmetics releasing skincare products, but I tried it and it's amazing! First off, it's great to apply without any blemishes or irritation. Being an in-serum, it's not just thick but spreads smoothly, and I felt less deep dryness. You know, even though ceramides are said to strengthen the skin barrier and provide great hydration, I've never experienced deep moisturizing effects due to the thick yet somehow light feeling of other products. However, this one had fewer of those drawbacks!
ConsThe packaging... On days when I want to use just a little, I need to pump only halfway, but it doesn't come out easily and requires using both hands to press. So I don't use it when I'm in a hurry.

With the weather being so dry lately and the wind blowing a lot, my skin has been struggling. But this product really seemed to lock in that moisture! 2. Enjoy the benefits of both serum and cream simultaneously. This product feels like a mix between a cream and a serum, so it's neither too heavy nor too light. Some serums absorb like water and can leave your skin feeling dry afterwards, while richer serums can pill when you layer cream on top. This one strikes the perfect balance, making it easy to use with other products. 3. Convenient to use. Unlike other serums that come with droppers, this product has a pump dispenser, which makes it much easier to use.
ConsPersonally, I had a great experience with this product, so I don't have many complaints. However, everyone's skin is different, and we all experience dryness differently, so some might find the hydration level a bit too intense.
TipIf you're prone to dryness, try applying your usual serum first, let it absorb well, then layer this product on top, followed by your moisturizer. This will create a solid hydration barrier!
