I really want my skin to become more hydrated and moisturized. When I feel like I need to replenish the moisture, it's great that I can apply something that doesn't cause any irritation.

From the reviews, it seems that the skin tone brightens and becomes more organized, but I don't think I've seen such a dramatic effect! (I've been using it for almost a year)

It's very moisturizing and great to apply in the morning and evening!
The fragrance is unscented and not irritating, so it seems good to apply all over the skin.

나이아신아마이드 5% 페이스 앤 바디 에멀전

There are no particular drawbacks, but for those who want to use it on the body, the capacity may be a bit too small. (I only use it on my face)

Skin type: Combination (dry, oily), sensitive
Skincare routine: Toner, lotion (2 times), protein cream added when dry
- Texture: Thin and soft
- Application: Spreads smoothly and evenly due to the thin consistency
- Absorption: Absorbs quickly after application, unlike some lotions that remain on the surface without fully absorbing, leaving a moisturized feel
- Hydration: Using the basic lotion twice does not completely resolve the dryness, but using the basic lotion once and the Ordinary emulsion once leaves no dryness and a comfortable feel (as of May)
- Makeup compatibility: Makeup applies well without pilling, and there is no dryness or caking over time

For best results, use it after bathing, once you've patted your skin dry.

While the product itself is excellent, I feel it's a bit pricey compared to others when you consider the amount you get.

The absorbs well is smooth and hydrating, which I loved. It absorbs incredibly fast, so when I apply it after showering, it really helps with dead skin cells and evens out my skin texture. But what impressed me most is how after using up one bottle, my complexion became noticeably more translucent and my skin tone brightened significantly. I'm thrilled with the results!

When I used it before makeup, it caused pilling on my skin. Also, the scent wasn't particularly pleasant.

I loved how I could feel my skin calming down. It seemed to reduce redness as well.

Because it absorbs so quickly, you need to apply quite a bit to feel like your skin is getting enough hydration. I wish it could provide a bit more moisture.

It's incredibly gentle and absorbs super fast! When applied, you can feel it refining your skin texture. Once it's fully absorbed, your face feels soft, smooth, and velvety.

The packaging is convenient and it absorbs well, so I don't really have any complaints!

My skin was breaking out with acne for a while, but after using this, the blemishes have calmed down significantly!

It feels a bit pricier compared to the 10% version. Still, I'm satisfied with it.

It absorbs beautifully. I switched from 10% to 5%, and it's perfect for sensitive skin without any tingling sensation.

The only downside when using it as a body product is the small size.

I have skin that tends to break out or feel uncomfortable when I apply thick creams on my neck and chest area. My back is also prone to blemishes. 

First off, when I applied this to my neck and chest, it absorbed so well and not only calmed existing blemishes but prevented new ones from forming. I'm really satisfied with the results.

For my back, I use The Ordinary AHA 7% Toner in a spray bottle, then apply this product! My back also tends to break out with heavy creams, and using just a body mist left it dry and itchy. But with this routine, my blemishes are subsiding.

For the rest of my body, I use any brand with super hydrating products!

In conclusion, I didn't have high expectations for this product, but I'm very pleased with it!

Those with dry skin might find it a tad drying!

I absolutely loved it! You can visibly see the improvement in your skin. It leaves your complexion hydrated without feeling overly rich, giving a fresh finish. For winter use, I recommend layering a cream on top as it might feel slightly dry on its own. The scent is nearly fragrance-free, and the texture is a bit on the thinner side.

Unfortunately, the small amount means it would run out quickly if used on the body, which is a bit disappointing.

The ingredients were great for my skin, and the lightweight texture made it easy to apply anytime!

I applied this after using Leegeehaam and a serum. Around the second or third day, I noticed my skin becoming incredibly soft and the deep dryness significantly reduced.

As someone with dry skin, I don't think it's very effective at tackling dead skin cells. It might work better if you use it after cleansing with a toner pad!

First off, I love that it has a twist-lock mechanism - you can turn to dispense and then lock it, so there's no risk of leakage when carrying it around. The fragrance is also subtle and not overpowering, making it pleasant to use. And the design is absolutely gorgeous!
