There's also a slight cooling effect when you apply it. On a sweltering hot day during Chuseok, this product did a great job of calming the heat on my face from running around everywhere. I was really satisfied with how quickly it soothed my skin without any irritation. For combination skin types like mine who hate feeling stuffy, this seems perfect for soothing care during seasonal changes or summer.
ConsIf you don't make sure it's fully absorbed, pilling can occur. A few hours after applying, I lightly scratched my face and it came off in white flakes like dead skin cells. Also, the jar packaging was inconvenient for me. I actually ended up using the tube version that came with it more often.

I remember buying the Extreme Original(?) before because it was popular, but it didn't suit me. This one is much lighter and I like it. The original was so thick that applying it felt irritating, but this one is definitely lighter (though not as light as a soothing cream). It does have a bit of a rich feel. The scent is similar to the Extreme Cream, and while I didn't particularly dislike it, it might be polarizing for some. My skin barrier seemed completely broken, so I changed my cleansing products, stopped using functional serums and ampoules, and focused on hydration, but didn't see much effect. However, I think I saw results after applying this. First, I had small, bumpy textures all over my face, but even after just a day or two of use, they noticeably decreased, especially in the butterfly zone where the texture was particularly bad! (However, this doesn't last forever, and if I wear makeup all day, the bumpy texture comes back) I liked how applying it before bed made the texture go down and my skin felt completely smooth (though it did produce a lot of oil).
ConsIf you apply this before makeup, it really pills like crazy... I thought it might be okay since it didn't feel heavy, but I was shocked at how badly it pilled (photo attached). I usually apply cushion foundation with a patting motion, but even when I tried applying it without patting, it still pilled a bit..! I think this should only be used at night. Also, I have combination dehydrated skin so my T-zone and butterfly zone are naturally oily, but I noticed much more oil production compared to when I use a soothing cream. In the morning, it's really oily... I think it might be difficult for those with oily skin to use. I'm not 100% sure if it's because of this, but it seems like I'm getting some blemishes due to the excess oil. I think it needs some amount control.
TipI recommend applying this before bed since it can pill if used before makeup! Especially for me, I noticed some blemishes appearing, possibly due to excess oil in my T-zone and butterfly zone. For those with combination dehydrated or oily skin, it might be better to control the amount rather than applying too much!

Once it's absorbed, my skin feels moisturized and fresh. For those with dry skin, I think using the original in fall and winter, and the light version in spring and summer would work well. For oily skin types, the light version should be suitable year-round. Honestly, I'm not sure if I can feel the skin barrier protection, but even though I have sensitive skin, it's not irritating, so I think I can use it without worry.
ConsAlthough it's supposed to work well under makeup, I think it depends on what cosmetics you use. In my experience, it pills like dead skin cells. It's not so much that the moisturizer itself pills, but rather the makeup applied on top of it... Since I'm using the same makeup products I always do, I'm certain it's this cream causing the pilling.
TipI think it would be fine to use without worry in summer. For those with dry skin who might experience some deep dryness, mixing in a drop of face oil when applying can prevent dryness.

It's a brand I can recommend to friends and family without a second thought. I've been using the original version for about 8 years because it helps with the skin barrier. While the original was a bit rich for me and sometimes caused blemishes, this lighter version is much better. There's no unpleasant scent, and it absorbs well. Its quick absorption means it doesn't pill under makeup, making it great for pre-makeup application. As someone who loves a dewy look, I'm thrilled with how plump and healthy it makes my skin appear.
ConsThe tube packaging is more hygienic, which is a plus. However, if it's not fully absorbed or if you apply too much, it can pill when you put on makeup. You need to be careful with the amount, so I'm hesitant to use it before important events where I need to wear makeup. It's a bit of a gamble. This is a common issue with Real Barrier creams, so I'd recommend using it at night rather than before applying makeup.

Cons- While it's great for hydration, it doesn't do much beyond moisturizing in terms of soothing, controlling sebum, treating blemishes, exfoliating dead skin cells, or minimizing pores. - If you use too much, it can pill like dead skin. - It really just focuses on moisturizing.
TipRecommended for extremely dry skin.

Before diving into my review of the 'Real Barrier Extreme Cream Light', let me introduce you to my skin type! I have extremely delicate and super sensitive skin, and recently developed eczema due to the dry, cold winds. I used to avoid moisturizers because other brands often clogged my pores, causing blemishes. However, after using the 'Real Barrier Extreme Cream Light', I've found a reason to give moisturizers another chance! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The scent is a subtle, refreshing aqua fragrance. There's no typical cosmetic smell, so even those sensitive to fragrances shouldn't have to worry! The texture is similar to other moisturizers - thick but not heavy, allowing for multiple layers without feeling burdensome. However, when absorbing, I felt it provided both hydration and richness, though it didn't seem to fully absorb everything applied. It absorbs rather slowly, but what I loved most was that ⭐it's suitable even for very dry skin⭐! It not only provides hydration but also a non-irritating richness that effectively tackles eczema, which I really appreciated. 📣 The attached photo shows the area around my left mouth. 📣 My mouth area tends to be very dry with fine lines, but can you see the clear difference after use? The plump, hydrated skin with lifted corners is from day 11 of using the 'Real Barrier Extreme Cream Light'! From firming up the lines around my mouth to completely eliminating the redness caused by dryness and irritation, I've reaped numerous benefits from this product!
ConsThis product has the richness needed for dry skin types, which might be a bit heavy for those with oily skin. Also, I was disappointed that when I applied the 'Real Barrier Extreme Cream Light' in my night routine and washed it off the next morning, it would pill like dead skin cells. (When I applied a thick layer of the 'Real Barrier Extreme Cream Light' for a long time, my skin felt dry and tight rather than hydrated, which is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.)
TipI absolutely recommend applying multiple thin layers! Just as it's better to do things in small increments rather than all at once, I felt that this 'Real Barrier Extreme Cream Light' product absorbs better and performs its function more effectively when applied in multiple thin layers!
