This cream is designed to care for everything from skin elasticity to the skin barrier. We all know how famous Innisfree's Green Tea Serum is, right? Well, imagine that famous green tea-derived ceramide meeting collagen! While using this product, I could feel both hydration and firmness at the same time.
ConsIt was a bit disappointing that a spatula wasn't included with the product.
TipAfter using up all the contents, you can just replace the container and keep using it, which really reflects Innisfree's environmentally conscious brand image.

It's barely noticeable when applied, so it's not bothersome) ❤ User experience 1️⃣ When applied to the face, it effectively combats dryness and creates a smooth, moisturizing barrier! I think this cream is perfect for winter. 2️⃣ Recently, my skin concern has been dryness on my cheeks (plus deep dryness). Due to the cold winter air and frequent exposure to indoor heating, I was experiencing dead skin cell buildup and redness. While using this cream, I felt it filling in my skin, reducing texture from dead skin cells, and balancing the oil and moisture on my cheeks. As I'm in my mid-20s, firmness hasn't been a major concern, so I really appreciated how well it addressed my dryness issues. 3️⃣ Proper amount control seems important. As mentioned in point 2, dryness was a big concern, so I used to apply cream generously. However, with this one, that's unnecessary. Just spreading an appropriate amount evenly is sufficient! Initially, I didn't realize this and applied too much, which may have caused a small blemish on my forehead. Now that I'm using the right amount, it's fine. 4️⃣ I was worried about pilling due to its rich texture, but it works well even under makeup! I had planned to use it as a night cream, but one morning I absent-mindedly applied it before my cushion foundation. I decided to just go with it, and surprisingly, my makeup applied well without pilling or breaking down. However, since it's winter and I'm using a moisturizing cushion foundation, combined with this rich cream, I definitely needed to use oil blotting papers on my T-zone in the afternoon (I was really glowing!).
Cons1️⃣ Potential for blemishes if too much is applied 2️⃣ No spatula included: I don't usually use spatulas so it didn't bother me, but most jar-type creams come with one. Those who prefer hygienic application might find this disappointing.
TipAfter using a toner (or toner pad), applying just this cream is enough! My previous routine was toner pad - essence - cream 1 - cream 2, but this is great for a quick, one-step solution when you're feeling lazy.

The fragrance-free formula is also a plus. Being a collagen cream, I was worried the texture might be too rich, but I was pleasantly surprised. It has a nice bouncy consistency that absorbs well and doesn't feel greasy. Even those with oily skin like me can use it comfortably in winter. After applying it in the evening and washing my face in the morning, my skin felt hydrated and my complexion looked more even. It really works hard to improve skin texture!
ConsAs a member of The Hwahae Testers, I noticed that no spatula was included with the product. If this is the case for regular purchases as well, I think providing a spatula would be helpful for hygiene reasons.

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* Please note this is just one person's opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. * Skin type: Changed from combination dehydrated to dry skin. Overall rating: 90 / 100 Recommended for: Dry skin / Not recommended for combination dehydrated to oily skin Skincare routine: Toner > Ampoule > Cream/Emulsion The texture is so rich that it forms peaks when you dab it, and they stay in place. As someone with dry skin, I was very satisfied with how long the hydration lasted. There's barely any scent, which I prefer in skincare products. I'm generally satisfied since I only expect moisturization from skincare products. I was aware that collagen particles are too large to be absorbed (though due to their properties, they're said to provide long-lasting hydration). Being in my mid-20s with relatively thick skin and no severe aging, I might not be fully experiencing the collagen benefits. Morning routine: Low pH foam cleanser > Collagen cream > Mineral sunscreen Result: Usually felt tight with mineral sunscreen, but experienced less deep dryness. Evening routine: Cleansing oil > Mild alkaline foam cleanser > Collagen cream Result: Skin felt moisturized and supple right after application, with no deep dryness in the morning. My combination dehydrated skin sister found it quite rich. For those with very dry skin, I recommend using it after a hydrating toner and moisturizing ampoule for the perfect balance.
ConsDisappointed that it doesn't come with a spatula despite being in a jar. No matter how clean your hands are, there's always a risk of dust. It's also tricky to control the amount. Even when applied after toner and essence, it sometimes pilled. I probably won't repurchase. Though I received this as part of The Hwahae Testers program, if asked whether I'd buy it at full price, I'd say it's a bit expensive.
TipIt works great when applied generously before mineral sunscreen. On days with high pollution, I tend to use mineral sunscreen even if my skin feels dry. Applying a thick layer of this cream beforehand prevents that tight feeling!

I usually apply my basic skincare products and then layer a barrier cream on top. What I loved most about this product is its excellent hydration. The texture feels rich and nourishing when applied, and my skin stays moisturized until the next morning without feeling dry. After application, it feels like there's a protective layer on my skin, but it doesn't feel suffocating at all. The product seems to have almost no scent, and I feel like with continued use, my skin will become really firm and healthy.
ConsI was a bit disappointed that I started getting some minor blemishes while using this. Although I loved how moisturized my skin felt the next day, it seems like I need to be careful with the amount I apply. People with oily skin might find it a bit heavy. The product didn't come with a spatula, which would have been nice to have, and I think it might have been better if it came in a tube container.

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 product selected for this round of The Hwahae Testers is Innisfree's Collagen Green Tea Ceramide Cream! You can think of it as a firming cream that combines collagen to help with skin elasticity and ceramides that are great for improving the skin barrier. Writer's skin type: Sensitive, combination, thin skin, prone to irritation if oil and moisture balance isn't well-maintained Texture: Though thin, it spreads smoothly like a primer and provides good hydration. The scent is almost fragrance-free, and it absorbs moderately well. Pros: While the outer container is glass, the product comes in a refillable inner container, allowing for easy refills after use. Since packaging often accounts for a significant portion of cosmetic prices, being able to purchase refills separately is cost-effective. Containing collagen for elasticity and ceramides for skin barrier improvement, it seems ideal for use in winter and transitional seasons, excluding summer.
ConsThe glass container makes it heavy and difficult to carry around. While it's fine on the cheeks and around the mouth, I noticed it sometimes causes blemishes when applied to the forehead. Also, it can feel a bit rich if used alone, so I'm only applying a thin layer as a final step. While it's not overly expensive for a firming cream, it's not exactly cheap for a road shop brand. Being in a jar form means you need to use a spatula to apply it, but one isn't included, which isn't great for hygiene... I think it might have been better if it came in a tube form.
TipAs mentioned earlier, using this cream alone can feel oily, so I found it perfect for my combination skin to first apply a hydrating cream, then use a small amount of this firming cream as a final step, focusing on the mouth area and cheeks, avoiding the forehead. Where to buy: Available at various places including Hwahae, Olive Young, Zigzag, Naver Smart Store, etc. - With coupons, you can purchase it for under 40,000 won on Hwahae, Naver Smart Store, and Zigzag. (Based on the discounted price of ₩44,500 for the full-size product + refill set) - It might not feel very effective for teenagers or those with oily skin. The texture seems like it would be appreciated by those with thin skin prone to wrinkles around the mouth or eyes, or by moms!

After applying serum, essence, and moisturizer, finishing with this product feels like it's sealing in all the previous layers. With consistent use, I've noticed my skin looking clearer! It seems like my overall skin texture has improved. It's fragrance-free! This product is perfect for those with sensitive noses.
ConsI wish it came with a built-in spatula! Since it's in a jar, it's not very hygienic to apply with fingers. It might be best to purchase a separate spatula. I used one I already had. Initially, I experienced some breakouts. This rarely happens to me, so it was concerning, but I decided to keep using it. The breakouts lasted for the first 2-3 days, but fortunately subsided after that. If you have super sensitive skin, I recommend checking the ingredients list!
TipThe finish is slightly heavy, so it might be better suited for nighttime use rather than morning application. If you try to apply it quickly, it might not spread well. Take your time and gently melt it into your skin for smooth application.

This indicates that it functions as a resilient cream, not just a regular moisturizer. It does not require multiple applications, nor does it feel thick or heavy. Bedtime is around 12-1 AM. Usage Day 2: - Same as usual. Usage Day 3: - At 14°C, there was a slight sweat, but no sticky or greasy feeling. Usage Day 4: - With the sudden drop in temperature to below zero, the moisturizer was not used. - 4 hours after application, the face remained moisturized during outdoor activities. Usage 1 Week: - No breakouts, oil-moisture balance is ideal. - Can be used year-round except in the height of summer. Usage 2 Weeks: Conclusion - Would repurchase if the price drops to the 20,000 won range.
ConsThe reviewer mentioned that since it was a Hwahae Trial Reviewer product, there was no spatula included. If there is no spatula, you can purchase one separately. :)

My skin feels incredibly hydrated and soft afterwards, giving me the sensation that my skin barrier is being protected. No eye irritation, no sensitivity, and no blemishes at all! I liked the original Innisfree Collagen Cream, but this version has improved and added functions. Here are a few points I particularly enjoyed: ♡ The texture is new and fantastic : It's described as a skin-adhering texture that doesn't leave an oily residue, and that's absolutely true. The bouncy application feel is wonderful, and after applying, my skin has a beautiful glow. ♡ Total care : It's packed with ample amounts of firming, barrier-strengthening, and brightening ingredients, so there's no need for separate essences - it's an all-in-one care solution. ♡ Glass container! Only the inner container is refillable! : I love the thick, beautiful glass container that doesn't take up too much space. It seems too precious to use just once and throw away, so I'm thrilled that the inner cream is refillable.
Cons- It would be nice if it came with a spatula for application. I had to reuse one I already had. - While the product itself often goes on sale, the refills don't seem to get discounted as frequently.
TipIt's also great as a body cream, but using it all over might be a bit extravagant. Try applying it to your décolletage at least! Winter is an especially good time to take care of neck wrinkles.
