I started using it alone, then added the emulsion from the same line. Now my skin has almost returned to normal, and the burning sensation has significantly decreased. I'll seriously use this for life!
ConsIt's slightly on the richer side, so I'm a bit worried about using it in midsummer. I'm not sure if DPG is irritating, but the essence from the same line doesn't seem to suit me as well.
TipIf you find it too heavy or greasy after application, don't wash it off. Instead, slightly dampen your fingertips, shake off excess water, and gently pat your face. This will cool it down and reduce some of the oiliness, making it just right. For those dealing with dermatitis, rosacea, or a compromised skin barrier: After 1-2 weeks, when dead skin cells have sloughed off and new skin has emerged, if that area is red, sensitive, and feels slightly tight, carry the products with you and reapply thin layers every 1-2 hours. Alternate between emulsion, cream, and a mix of both. This method helped me recover almost completely. IMPORTANT: If you see areas that are visibly raw, rough, red, stinging, or burning, don't apply anything, including this product. Just use saline solution packs for 3 days. Don't cleanse, apply anything, or eat irritating foods. Just get plenty of rest. Once the burning subsides, go without moisturizer for 3 days until dead skin cells start to appear. Then use saline solution packs and moisturize well. As the dead skin peels off, your skin will recover. Remember, the skin regeneration cycle is about 28 days. I too suffered for months, taking steroids and using weird ointments and ampoules, unable to go outside. But everything got better! Only think about doing more for your skin when it's healthy! Avoid unnecessary touching and let your skin regenerate on its own. That's the most important thing. Hang in there, sensitive skin with a damaged barrier!

I don't think I'll change my cream anymore! I hate waking up with dry skin the most, but that never happened, so I'm very satisfied. I especially recommend this to those with dry skin!
ConsDue to Physiogel's characteristic rich texture, it might not suit those with oily skin, and it might be a bit difficult to use before applying makeup.
TipI had a soothing mask that I often used. I applied the cream over the mask, waited about 15 minutes, then flipped the mask so the cream side touched my skin, and waited another 20 minutes. The next day, my skin condition was really great!

That's about all I can say positively. It just doesn't seem to suit my skin.
ConsMy skin feels dry underneath, but there's an excessive oily layer on the surface. No wonder I'm getting tiny bumps. The texture is quite stiff, making it difficult to spread evenly. Plus, it has an unpleasant fishy smell.
TipI'm sure it works well for some people, though it didn't for me.

It seems suitable for all skin types. My parents in their 60s, whose skin type changed from oily to normal as they aged, said this product is perfect for them.
ConsFor my combination skin, oil starts to surface on my face some time after application.

It's quite rich, so I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin, but it's perfect for dry skin. On days when my skin is acting up, I layer it on multiple times. The next morning, my skin feels incredibly restored. That's why I always stock up on an extra one during sales.
ConsDue to its rich texture, occasionally when I apply too much, I might experience some blemishes the next day.

I love how clean it feels! My skin is so sensitive that I usually can only use baby emulsions, but this worked well for me. If it's good for my skin, it must be really great. Everyone should give it a try!
ConsThe rich feeling is stronger compared to other emulsions, so you need to be careful with how much you apply!

Honestly, my skin's journey is divided into before and after discovering this. With this in my arsenal, I'm not afraid of any skin flare-ups. It's amazing how it calms my skin down in just 3 days to a week (sometimes even overnight)!
ConsThe downside is that it's a bit on the rich side, so the oiliness can be bothersome at times. It often causes makeup to pill, so I have to pat it in thoroughly to ensure full absorption (it really doesn't play well with base makeup). The hydration is somewhat lacking, so I'm looking for a cream or emulsion with more moisture. Also, because it's oily, it can cause tiny, barely noticeable bumps - you know, the kind you can only see if you look really closely. Unfortunately, I do get those.

I couldn't use the emulsion because it contains acids, and I was worried about the cream because many reviews said it was very oily. However, this product is fine when applied thinly and doesn't cause breakouts. It feels a bit thick when applying, but after application, my skin texture becomes smoother. Compared to other oily cosmetics, it doesn't feel as greasy. For combination skin, I apply a thin layer on the T-zone and two thin layers on the cheeks, which works well. Be careful not to apply too much on the T-zone, as it can cause small bumps.
ConsFor combination skin, the cheek area still feels dry. Not recommended for dry skin as it might be too drying. Due to its oiliness, it can cause small bumps, so those with oily or combination skin need to be careful with the amount used. Occasionally, small bumps appeared, and while no major blemishes occurred, the more I used it, the more I noticed red, eczema-like patches and transparent, milia-like bumps forming, possibly due to the oil content. It felt like my dermatitis was worsening, so I stopped using it. Not recommended for skin sensitive to oil. It works well on dry body skin without causing itching and provides moisture. If it doesn't suit your face, consider using it on your body instead.

While the blue Physiogel is light yet oily, this cream feels more hydrating. Many famous moisturizers contain stearic acid which I can't use, but this one is gentle and suits me well. My skin just feels comfortable. I've tried Physiogel AI Soothing before, but this works better for me. It's so moisturizing that even the small bumps on my chin from folliculitis are subsiding. That's why I apply a thin layer about three times in the evening. For a 100ml cream in the 20,000 won range, I think it's quite reasonable, especially considering many 50ml creams cost several ten thousand won. I've seen it at its lowest price just over 20,000 won on Coupang. The tube packaging is light and convenient to carry. The photo shows my skin after calming down in just about 10 days.
ConsIf you have oily skin, you might find it a bit rich, but it doesn't feel as heavy or greasy as an oil-based cream. Be careful when closing the container - if you don't hear a click, it might not be properly sealed and could leak.
TipWhen your skin is irritated, it's best to use only this cream for a few days. Once it starts to calm down, you can add your usual hydrating products for even more moisture.

This is the renewed version, and it seems to provide even better hydration than before.
ConsWith the improved hydration, does it produce more oil? It's okay if you blot it with oil-absorbing sheets, but it's a bit disappointing.
TipIt works incredibly well when mixed and applied with the Red Soothing Emulsion.
