The size is 30ml, which is on the smaller side, but since you only need to use about 1/4 of the amount you normally use, the quantity is not too little. Just scoop out a small amount, warm it up in the palm of your hand, and then gently press and apply it all over your face. It melts like shea butter, instantly dissolving on the skin. As soon as you apply it to your face, you can feel the richness, and even without any prior knowledge, you might think 'Wow, this must be an expensive cream' due to the luxurious feel it provides all over the face. I think this would be great to use during seasonal changes, especially in the winter, and it would be particularly beneficial for those with dry skin types. My skin type is combination with dehydration, and while I sometimes have trouble with balm-type products causing breakouts, I've been using this cream without any issues. There's also no irritation whatsoever. The fragrance-free formula means there's no love-it-or-hate-it situation, and anyone can use it comfortably.
ConsThe texture feels a bit heavy, so it might be difficult to use in the summer. And while it provides enough oil/richness, I felt it was a bit lacking in hydration. I know it's a balm-type, but I wished it would have a more deeply nourishing, saturating feel rather than just coating the surface.

It comes with a stick that you can scrape and use. It has a subtle pearlescent glow. When applied, the skin becomes silky smooth, and the pearlescent glow is present, but there is no greasy feeling at all. I have combination skin that tends to be dry in the winter and oily in the T-zone and prone to breakouts in the U-zone, but I experienced no issues with breakouts while using this product. My only concern was that it might clog pores and cause breakouts, but that was not the case, which I'm very happy about. I haven't used it long enough to fully assess the firming benefits, so I'll need to use it for a bit longer to see those results.
ConsThe balm format and the need to manage the stick is a bit inconvenient. When I wake up the next day, I feel like my skin lacks moisture. If I use too much of the product, I feel like it might become greasy, so I need to use it in moderation. I feel like I need to apply a separate moisturizer first before using this product to address the lack of moisture.

Usage Experience While the application method was a bit different from regular creams, making me curious, it actually led to a more meticulous and attentive application. The cream's texture is almost as solid as a balm, so I had to mash it with the applicator and melt it in my palms before applying. 2. High Moisturizing Power with Minimal Usage Despite the small product volume, a little goes a long way, and it provides ample hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. 3. Improved Skin Elasticity After my evening cleansing routine, using this cream as the final step left my butterfly-area and under-eye skin feeling less dull and more rejuvenated compared to the previous day. 4. Pleasant Fragrance While the product has a somewhat dense texture relative to the amount used, the sweet scent helps mitigate any potential aversion. 5. Sleek Packaging The packaging is clean and uncluttered, with a convenient size that's easy to store given the product volume.
Cons1. Usage Instructions A strength and a weakness. While the attentive application is beneficial, the product lacks consistent and clear instructions on the proper usage amount and method on the packaging, which is a bit disappointing. More explicit and user-friendly guidance would be helpful. 2. Oily Texture Due to the recommendation of using a small amount, the cream has a rather oily feel. 3. Application Method Having to use the entire palm to apply the product can be a bit inconvenient, especially for those with more sensitive skin, as it requires extra care in maintaining cleanliness.
TipApplying this cream as the last step in your evening skincare routine is likely to yield significantly higher efficacy and satisfaction.

My skin also tends to become red and swollen when irritated. 👉 How I used it: I applied it as part of my regular daytime routine, and primarily used it in the evenings. Since my skin tends to be quite dry, I would apply a hydrating toner first, then scoop out some of the cream onto my palm, warm it up with my body heat, and gently pat it into my face. I would then follow up with a lotion. At first, I only used the toner and cream, but my skin would quickly become dry and itchy, so I had to add the lotion as well. 👉 Texture: The texture is a balm-like consistency that scoops out smoothly with a spatula. It's not a heavy, thick balm, but more of a soft, malleable texture that melts easily in the palm of your hand. 👉 Fragrance: There is a fragrance, but I'm not sure what it is exactly. 😅 It's not overpowering or irritating though, and the scent fades after application. 👉 Results: - No skin irritation or breakouts, which I'm very satisfied with. - My skin felt smooth, soft, and plump. - There was a slight improvement in skin elasticity. - It didn't feel overly oily, so my hair didn't get weighed down.
ConsThe downsides were: - It didn't fully replenish my skin's moisture and oil balance, so I had to use additional hydrating and nourishing products. - The lid is very lightweight and can be difficult to close tightly. - It felt a bit heavy for daytime use in the summer. - Considering the product volume, the price point is a bit high for daily use.
TipThis would be a good concentrated treatment to use when your skin is lacking in firmness or feeling rough. I'd recommend using it more in the winter than the summer.

I have atopic dermatitis, so dryness and sensitivity are constant issues for me. In this case, I used the product when my atopic dermatitis was quite severe. While my face is not too badly affected, atopic dermatitis does impact my face to some degree when it's at its worst. What I liked about using the Permeng Band Cream was that the product itself did not irritate my sensitive skin and applied smoothly. The effects may require more consistent use to fully evaluate, but I personally found the scent to be quite pleasant (though individual preferences may vary). It also melts quickly and absorbs right away in a cream-type formula.
ConsHmm, in my case, I don't particularly prefer products with an oily feel. After applying, I did experience a slightly greasy, oily sensation.
TipAs mentioned in the product description, using it in conjunction with Gwalsarang would likely enhance the effects.
