It's not even worth the price, and it has a strong masculine fragrance.
ConsIt stings my skin. It's so irritating that even when applied to the back of my hand, it causes a tingling sensation. I don't experience this with other products, so it's not due to my skin condition. This product is simply irritating.
TipI don't recommend it.

Wow, if I hadn't gone to that pop-up, I might have lived without knowing about this product. I feel like I almost missed out on a life-changing experience! That's how satisfied I am using it. I highly recommend the 'Light' version for those who hate heavy, suffocating products! It has a smooth application, absorbs well, and leaves just the right amount of richness and hydration! The formula doesn't cause pilling and can be used comfortably in all seasons. The scent is lovely... It might be polarizing for some, but it's definitely better than being unscented.
ConsChecked the price and it's quite expensive, sigh... But I guess there's a reason why good things come at a cost.

Has a nice amount of richness. Love the citrusy scent too.
ConsFelt a bit heavy. The richness caused some small bumps. Might only be suitable for the dead of winter.
TipRecommended for oily skin types in the coldest months

While the original version is closer to a thick balm, this light version has a pleasantly bouncy texture. When I slather it on generously before bed, my skin feels incredibly smooth during my morning cleanse. It's great for hydration, and there's a subtle scent which I find quite nice. I highly recommend this product - it's perfect for use these days!
ConsThe jar packaging is a bit disappointing. The texture seems suitable for a tube format, and managing a spatula is a bit of a hassle... (I just end up using my fingers to apply it)

I love the subtle scent, a blend of herbal and citrus notes that's not overpowering. It's conveniently designed with refillable packaging.
ConsThe jar packaging with a lid gets messy around the edges and on the spatula from the first use. A tube format would be more practical.
TipThe formula is heavier than expected, so applying too much at once slows down absorption. Layering thin amounts works better, addressing deep dryness and absorbing well.

Texture It has a smooth cream texture. Not too runny or too thick, making it perfect for use before makeup. I'm also using it in the evenings these days and loving it! 2. Fragrance-free ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love that it's fragrance-free! My nose is as sensitive as my skin, so fragrances in skincare products can be bothersome. Real Barrier's original line being fragrance-free is just perfect. 3. Application I've tried Real Barrier Extreme Original too, but the Light version is perfect for this season! It's definitely better before makeup. The slight oiliness of the Extreme Original is noticeably reduced, so I'm sticking with Real Barrier Light.
ConsThere's not a single thing I dislike about it. If I had to nitpick... I suppose I'd prefer it in a tube packaging!
TipIf you have dry skin, try layering it multiple times before bed for extra hydration.

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.ProsI used Real Barrier Extreme before and loved it, so I was curious about the Light version. While I can't really tell if it's lighter, I do like that it applies more smoothly than the rich cream-like texture of the original. Previously, I only used it generously at night, but now I think I can use it both morning and evening. The scent is like centella? It has a natural, herbal smell which I personally enjoy. I highly recommend it for its gentleness and excellent hydration.
ConsThe jar packaging is slightly inconvenient, but I suppose it would be difficult to put this formula in a tube.
TipApply it as the final step in your skincare routine, both morning and night!

The scent is similar to derma brands, and it's amazing to see how it visibly reduces pores after application!
ConsDue to its rich texture, those with oily skin might find it best suited for use in winter or during chilly autumn days. In summer, using just one layer of this product should be sufficient.

Scent A wonderfully invigorating herbal aroma that makes you feel healthier! 2. Application It glides on smoothly with a silky texture - love it! 3. Moisturizing effect When it comes to moisturizing creams, Real Barrier is the go-to. Apply it at night, and your skin stays plump until morning! This benefit will likely shine during seasonal changes and winter. 4. Moisture barrier I have a habit of drying my hair with a fan after showering in summer. Usually, most creams seem to evaporate quickly, leaving my skin dry, but this product forms a barrier that keeps dryness at bay! The hydration is truly impressive. 5. Packaging This might be separate from the product itself, but... Even though I received it as part of The Hwahae Testers, I was touched that it came in proper packaging! While smaller than the full-size product, it still comes with a generous bonus amount. Real Barrier... the love!
Cons1. Surface-sitting feeling Right after application, it feels like it's sitting on top of the skin, creating a slightly uncomfortable sensation. 2. Hydration Compared to Real Barrier Extreme Cream, when applied at night, both give a similar feeling of adhering to the face like a mask until morning. However, the Light version seems to lack hydration, making it feel more oily than the original. If I were to repurchase, I'd likely go for the original version.

It doesn't take long to absorb. Hydration: Being a light product, it wasn't sufficiently hydrating for my dry skin. Even layering the product twice couldn't address my deep dryness. Scent: I appreciated that it's fragrance-free. Comparison with Aestura: Before using this product, I used Aestura cream. I used it for its ceramide content, and it was suitable for me, with dry skin, from summer to winter. In summer, I didn't experience any deep dryness with just the Aestura cream, and in winter, combining Aestura cream with another cream kept my skin from feeling dry. It's hard to compare with the original Real Barrier product as it's been a while since I've used it.
ConsDryness: Although it's September and considered a seasonal transition, this year has been unusually hot. Despite this, my skin felt dry, so I wouldn't recommend it for dry skin types in fall and winter. Packaging: It came with a jar-type main product and a tube-type gratis. The tube type is more convenient and hygienic to use, so I found the main product's packaging disappointing.
TipFor those with dry skin, I think it might be better to use the regular Real Barrier cream instead of this light version. As I understand ceramide products are necessary for the skin year-round, this light version might be more suitable for those without dry skin.
