Pros
Skin type: Combination dehydrated Texture: Although it's a balm, it has a noticeably lighter texture compared to the Cicaplast Balm I've used before. Less oily, it applies evenly all over the face without pilling. Absorption: Being a balm, it doesn't absorb as quickly as a water-based moisturizer. However, it sinks in within a minute, so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. Hydration: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it provided just the right amount of moisture. However, I did experience some blemishes on my forehead where I have more active oil glands. It's important to adjust the amount based on your skin's needs. Scent: It's fragrance-free. You can only detect the natural scent of the ingredients, which makes me feel like they've truly focused on skincare effectiveness.
Cons
While it's a well-known product, the price-to-quantity ratio is quite disappointing.
Tip
For areas with more active oil glands, it's best to apply only a small amount or use it as a spot treatment for better results!

Pros
I'd heard a lot of good things about Zeroid, and after trying it myself, I'm impressed! Despite its appearance, it applies much more moisturizing than expected. It absorbs well without feeling sticky! The formula seems gentle with no particular scent.
Cons
The only downside is the small 40ml size. It feels like it'll run out quickly.
Tip
The review photo shows the difference after just one use, and the results are definitely noticeable! Hope this helps you decide.

Pros
Skin type: Dry, Extremely sensitive 1. Texture As the product name suggests, I expected a 'balm' type that would be thick and rich. I was worried it might pill depending on how it's applied, but! After using it, I found the texture to be between a rich balm and a thin cream, making it easier to apply than expected! 2. Ingredients I think many of you know Zeroid as a dermatological brand. I expected the products from this brand to have good ingredients and be non-irritating, and after using it, I didn't experience any blemishes or hives. Trustworthy ingredients! 3. Packaging Many balm-type products come in glass jars requiring a spatula, but this one comes in a tube, making it convenient to use and lightweight, which is great!
Cons
1. Amount Even though I only use it at night, because it's more of a thin cream type than expected, I find myself using more of it compared to regular balm products. Given that, the product amount seems small, so I'm not sure if I'll repurchase. 2. Hydration For extremely dry skin in winter, the hydration feels a bit weak.
Tip
It's not suitable for use before morning makeup, so I recommend applying it in the evening.

Pros
Unlike other balm products that are thick and difficult to apply, especially during the day under makeup, I loved how this one has a thinner consistency that spreads easily. I could even apply makeup a while after using it without any pilling issues. My skin has been dry and super sensitive lately, with even my usual gentle skincare sometimes causing a tingling sensation. However, Zeroid, being a brand favored by those with sensitive skin, didn't cause any irritation at all. Personally, I'm not a fan of scented skincare products, so I was pleased to find this one is fragrance-free!
Cons
Despite my skin being extremely dry with a lot of dead skin cells due to winter, I didn't see any dramatic effects even with daily use. Also, the size of the product is a bit small, which is a downside. It felt more like a large sample size - I even doubted whether I had received the full-size product!

Pros
This is a review from The Hwahae Testers. First off, the texture is firm when squeezed out, not runny, which aligns with the ointment-like description. However, it spreads incredibly smoothly upon contact with the skin and absorbs well, which I found quite impressive! Personally, I didn't notice any particular scent while using this product, so I don't think it'll be a polarizing factor. I actually preferred the lack of any strange odor. The product itself isn't too oily or drying. It seems to have gentle ingredients, as when I had 2-3 small blemishes on my chin, applying this before bed resulted in one of them subsiding by the next morning, which I was quite satisfied with. Also, during a week of use, I didn't experience any new breakouts, though I'm not certain if this is due to this product or my regular skincare routine.
Cons
As many others have mentioned, the 40ml size feels a bit small. Even when applying small amounts to specific areas, it seems like it'll run out quickly, which is disappointing. Additionally, after about a week of use, I'm not entirely convinced that my skin barrier has become significantly stronger. It's a bit ambiguous, you could say. For example, my sister, who has redness-prone skin, used the product along with me, but as I'm writing this review, her redness remains unchanged from before use. It's hard to tell if this is because the usage period has been too short, or if we need to use it for longer to see results.
Tip
For those needing overall skin barrier reinforcement, it might be okay to apply this all over the face. However, I found it more effective to first apply my regular ampoule and cream, then use this product only on areas that need extra barrier strengthening, rather than relying on this product alone for the entire face.

Pros
1. Highly recommended for blemish-prone, sensitive skin with redness! - I was stressed when blemishes appeared, possibly from using the wrong skincare. But after applying this product in the morning and once more during the day, I was pleased to see the redness noticeably subsiding. It doesn't feel greasy at all, and it's like it creates a plump hydration barrier. It's great to apply as the final step in your skincare routine. 2. Recommended for combination dehydrated and dry skin - The texture seems perfect for combination dehydrated or dry skin. For oily skin, I'd only recommend it during dry winters. It goes on white at first, but quickly melts with your skin's heat and absorbs completely. 3. Excellent as a soothing cream after laser treatments - After laser treatments, my skin is sensitive and can sting or become redder if I use the wrong products. This one is truly non-irritating, making it great as a soothing or regenerating cream post-laser.
Cons
1. The amount is too small - please release a larger size - While it's called a balm, it's not thick but more like a rich moisturizer. The small amount means it feels like it's used up quickly, which is disappointing.
Tip
1. If you're wearing makeup, the texture can cause pilling if you apply too much. I recommend applying a thin layer or using a thicker layer only at night. 2. When your skin suddenly feels irritated or becomes red, applying a thick layer definitely gives a soothing sensation.

Pros
1. Skin becomes soft and supple After using it consistently for a week, my skin texture became incredibly soft. I highly recommend this for those with oily skin during winter! (It might be slightly less moisturizing for dry skin types.) Recently, the harsh, cold winds had been causing my skin to crack, but after applying the Zeroid Balm, the cracking has significantly reduced. I used it as an SOS product, just as its name suggests, and it really worked wonders. The feel of my skin has noticeably changed. As I mentioned earlier, it's become so soft and smooth. This will definitely be my go-to product for winter! 2. Balanced moisture, matte finish I'm not a fan of overly thick or sticky products, so this one was perfect for me. After application, there's a slight oiliness on the face, but it absorbs over time, leaving no stickiness - just a pleasant softness! How should I describe it... a matte feeling? I usually don't like night creams because they feel heavy, but this one absorbs so smoothly that I use it day and night. It doesn't feel burdensome on the skin at all. 3. Gentle formula I didn't experience any blemishes after using this. Considering I'm prone to skin irritation and I've been using it without issues, it seems to be quite gentle. It even gives me the feeling that it's strengthening my skin barrier!
Cons
The size is quite small, so it might run out quickly. It could be considered expensive for the amount you get.
Tip
It's comfortable to apply both at night and during the day. You can even apply it before makeup without any pilling.

Pros
True to its nature as a night balm, it has a rich texture and is fragrance-free. In winter, my arms and legs get extremely dry and itchy in patches, so I applied it mainly to these areas. I could definitely feel it soothing and protecting my irritated skin while being gentle. Rather than during the day, I applied it before bed, and when I woke up in the morning, my skin felt soft and had less dead skin cells! On days when my face felt extremely tight, I squeezed out a tiny amount, about the size of a dot, and applied it thinly. Even with this small amount, the rich texture provided sufficient hydration. It's truly a thick, rich balm, so I couldn't use it daily, but it's great to apply like a sleeping cream over just toner when your skin needs a break! I mainly applied it to my knees and arms, and it was great for calming sensitive, chicken skin-like bumps. After sleeping with this on, my skin definitely became softer and the itching disappeared! This would be perfect for those with super sensitive skin who can't use just anything, people with atopic dermatitis, and even babies or pregnant women.
Cons
If I had to nitpick, maybe the small quantity could be seen as a downside. To be honest, I haven't really found anything significantly disappointing about it yet. If I had to mention something, perhaps the quantity and price?? It's not extremely expensive, but somehow... there's just a slight feeling of... something lacking in terms of the price point.
Tip
For combination dehydrated or oily skin (face), I recommend using just toner and emulsion, or toner, essence, and ampoule, then applying a tiny dot of the balm spread thinly! For those with sensitive body skin, I also recommend using it on your body!

Pros
Recommended skin types: Dry, Sensitive For oily skin types, it's best to apply this ointment-like cream during indoor activities or before bed due to its texture. Scent: The fragrance is so mild it's barely noticeable, so it won't cause headaches! Texture: Slightly ointment-like consistency mixed with a moisturizing cream feel. It's similar in texture to the A***barrier cream from E***tra! Absorption: While I didn't experience an intense cooling effect or a surge of hydration, the areas where I applied it felt noticeably softer to the touch. (It left a kind of velvety finish?) Application: It has a rich consistency and feels like an ointment, so it's a bit thick when applying. Usage area: I have an extremely dry area on my neck that gets itchy and red. After applying this cream consistently for about a week, the itchiness disappeared and my skin condition improved significantly.
Cons
Texture: The thick consistency makes it somewhat challenging to apply by hand. Price: Considering the price, the quantity seems rather small. Effectiveness: It doesn't provide dramatic results immediately. Consistent use is necessary for noticeable improvements.
Tip
For best results, apply frequently to areas that are red from scratching or extremely dry, and add an extra layer before bedtime.

Pros
Barrier Strengthening I swim daily and felt my skin was getting thinner, but after mixing this cream with my regular one for a few days, I noticed a reduction in redness and my skin's protective barrier felt stronger. It definitely helped calm my redness! Texture True to Zeroid's style, I appreciated the fragrance-free formula. Unlike other intensive balms that feel thick, the Zeroid Intensive SOS Balm has a soft, cream-like texture that's pleasant to use on its own! If you warm it up in your hands and let it absorb fully, it's moisturizing enough to use under makeup, allowing your base to apply smoothly. Moisturizing Effect As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I tend to avoid heavy formulas that feel like they're clogging my pores. The Zeroid Intensive Balm has a moisturizing cream feel that's perfect as the final step in my skincare routine!
Cons
Since Zeroid is a product prescribed by dermatologists, it's a shame that the quantity is small and the price is a bit high.
