There's a nice cooling effect too.
ConsBecause it's so light, the hydration doesn't last long. It has an artificial fragrance.

The texture is a light cream that's not too heavy, so I layered it twice in the evening.
ConsThe scent is a bit like 'dad's cologne'? It's quite strong, so those who are sensitive to fragrances might find it intense.

It provides hydration without any oiliness, making it ideal for combination dehydrated skin or oily skin types looking for a light moisturizer.
ConsDespite claims of a cooling effect, I couldn't feel any. The hydration evaporates too quickly, leaving no sense of lasting moisture. Moreover, the artificial floral scent was a major turn-off for me.

Perfect cream texture Some moisturizers can be runny, but this one has just the right consistency - it doesn't drip and has an ideal thickness! 2. Skin feel Given its consistency, I didn't expect it to be as light as a serum... but wow, what a surprise! It applies so smoothly without any stickiness. Even better, it doesn't dry out quickly, which is doubly impressive. 3. Effectiveness I had high hopes when I saw the name 'Cold Water Cream' With my sensitive, redness-prone skin that turns into a strawberry after summer outings... It cools, calms, and hydrates even faster than aloe vera! 4. Tube packaging All the moisturizers I've used before required a spatula, but Illuminiel Cold Water Cream comes in a tube - so convenient! As someone who loves mini bags, I'm thrilled it's not a huge size and fits perfectly in my pouch. No more decanting cream into contact lens cases for travel - I'm so satisfied!
Cons1. Scent It smells a bit like... men's toner? Or a mix of aloe and toner...? I prefer unscented products, so the fragrance was slightly disappointing.
Tip1. Skin pack I usually do skin packs with aloe, but the Cold Water Cream calms my skin faster. After using an exfoliating toner, I apply the cream generously on a cotton pad for a skin pack. Afterward, my skin feels cooled, soothed, and deeply hydrated!

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've been using this for a week before applying makeup. Texture: As you can see in the photo, it melts into the skin like a bouncy, hydrating essence upon contact. Feel: It absorbs quickly, leaving the skin deeply hydrated while the surface feels soft and non-sticky. There's a subtle cooling sensation as it spreads, though it's so gentle you have to pay attention to notice it. This contributes to the clean, refreshing feel during application. Comparing treated and untreated areas, the side with the product feels slightly less warm. * It's great as a base product for summer makeup. * Perfect for those who want a clean finish to their skincare routine without pilling under sunscreen. * Provides an immediate boost of hydration upon application. * Can be layered multiple times, with each layer adding more moisture.
ConsWhile it provides ample hydration, it doesn't seem to lock in moisture very effectively. The amount of cream feels a bit insufficient for multiple layers. The scent, though not overpowering, lingers subtly and feels somewhat artificial.
TipFor morning skincare, try layering it twice, then finish with a tiny amount of another moisturizer applied like a seal. This keeps your skin feeling deeply hydrated and comfortable for longer, without any excess surface moisture.

Contains 5 types of ceramides to lock in moisture. Includes Kakadu plum (with over 100 times more vitamin C than oranges). Excellent at delivering hydration. The exosome technology helps penetrate deep into the skin, preventing dryness.
ConsWhile the texture is smooth, it feels a bit sticky. There's a distinct scent that's somewhat perfume-like... perhaps a typical cosmetic fragrance? Personally, I'm sensitive to scents, and although this one dissipates quickly, it wasn't my preferred aroma.
TipThe key is not to apply too much!

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.ProsUsage period: Daily for 2 weeks Texture: Feels like a gentle coating that spreads smoothly, full of hydration Impressions: - Convenient tube packaging - True to its 'water-infused cream' name, it quickly replenishes moisture with its hydrating formula - Applies smoothly with a pleasant cooling effect - Non-sticky, making it perfect for summer use
Cons- The artificial fragrance seems a bit strong. While it has a subtle, pleasant scent reminiscent of perfume, I think a fragrance-free option would be better for a skincare product. - It might take a bit longer to absorb for those with oily skin
TipFor longer-lasting hydration, apply after prepping your skin with a moisture-rich toner. My husband, who's more sensitive to heat than I am, loved it even more!

For combination dehydrated skin like mine or oily skin types, applying it twice works perfectly. Those with dry skin might find it a bit lacking when used alone. What I really loved is how quickly it absorbs and how it leaves my skin feeling hydrated. I'm not a fan of heavy, sticky finishes, so I appreciated how clean and light this felt on my skin.
ConsIf I had to nitpick, I didn't get that instant cooling sensation when applying it. Also, there seems to be an artificial fragrance. My sister said it smelled like our dad's aftershave, but I'm not very sensitive to scents, so to me it just smells slightly synthetic.

Texture: - True to its name, it's really moisturizing and refreshing - It has a typical light, watery moisturizer texture Ingredients: - The gentle ingredients didn't cause any blemishes - Great for those looking for skin-friendly components User experience: - The cooling effect would be perfect for summer use - Its hydrating properties are great for combating dryness in air-conditioned environments during summer - The smooth application makes it ideal to use before makeup on dry days
ConsThe fragrance was the biggest letdown It had a strong cosmetic scent reminiscent of sunscreen, which felt out of place for a skincare product
TipAs someone with skin prone to flushing, I think this would be great for others who also experience facial heat easily!
