Perhaps that's why it provides just the right balance of hydration and richness. It seems to keep dryness at bay to some extent. I didn't experience any blemishes, and the tube packaging made it hygienic to use. The generous amount allows for liberal application before bed, leaving a moisturized feeling. It's great as a hydrating moisturizer.
ConsI couldn't really detect any special benefits. I didn't notice any significant improvement in wrinkles or skin texture. It seems to be just a basic, no-frills moisturizer that's easy to use without any concerns.

It might feel a bit slippery, but that's why it applies so smoothly. Once it's on, it feels incredibly refreshing. - No heavy or suffocating feeling at all. Usually, when I apply products with high oil content, my face feels a bit stuffy, but this one is truly refreshing. - It doesn't dry out, leaving no feeling of dehydration!!!!!! - Has just the right amount of richness. I received this as a winner from The Hwahae Testers, and I genuinely want to purchase it. I've always struggled with dryness when winter comes. Even after skincare, if I apply a rich cream and don't control the amount well, I get blemishes... If I apply too little, my skin feels dry again. But this product seems to have solved all these concerns.
Cons- Didn't notice any wrinkle improvement effects. - It does have some richness!!!! Those with oily skin must control the amount used!

Occasionally, my skin flares up due to acne. 🧡 Before Use Originally, having combination skin, I only applied toner -> moisturizer before makeup. However, in this weather, perhaps due to wind and heaters, my skin would quickly dry out when I went outside. The dryness caused dead skin cells to become noticeable and irritated my skin, so I was looking for a hydrating product when... I received this product from The Hwahae Testers! 💛 Texture It has a rich cream texture that flows slightly when tilted. 💚 Scent I liked that it was fragrance-free. 💙 After Use With winter dryness, applying matte foundation after my usual skincare routine felt a bit heavy. But when I applied the Ricoteca cream as the final step in my skincare, it wasn't drying and was perfect for this weather. It felt like it created a good moisture barrier, preventing the previous layers from evaporating. I think it would suit most skin types, except for extremely oily skin. I didn't experience any blemishes either!
ConsIt claims to have brightening and anti-wrinkle effects, but I couldn't really notice them. Also, there is a bit of richness and shine after application (though it didn't bother me much).
TipDue to its rich texture, it's important to control the amount used. If you apply a thin layer as if you're coating your face, it absorbs well into makeup and says goodbye to dryness. Using it after applying toner and other products in previous steps is less irritating and better for the skin than using it alone. - Skincare routine Exfoliating with toner pads -> Hydrating toner (e.g. cream skin) -> Serum -> One layer of Ricoteca cream Follow this routine for winter-proof skincare that won't let your makeup slide off!

If you press too hard, a lot comes out. I've used it for about 3 days, and being a hydrating moisturizer, it's definitely reduced dryness significantly. I've tried many other moisturizers, but this one seems to absorb the fastest. Compared to other products, it has less of that typical moisturizer shine and stickiness when applied. It's also quite gentle with minimal irritation.
ConsWhile it provides a lot of hydration and eliminates dryness, I'm not sure about its other functions. It's labeled as a dual-functional cosmetic for whitening and wrinkle improvement, but I can't really tell the difference. It's just a less sticky and mild moisturizer?
TipI recommend this for people who dislike sticky, oily products, and those with super sensitive skin looking for something non-irritating. For those with dry skin but also prone to blemishes that don't calm down no matter what you apply, I suggest using just this moisturizer after cleansing, or lightly patting on toner before applying the cream!

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.ProsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, I tend to get oily on my forehead and nose, with a slight redness on my cheeks. Here's what I love about this product: 1. The gentle formula absorbs well. After cleansing, my skin often feels dry inside, and my cheeks can be a bit tingly. While thicker creams can irritate my skin during application, this product's soft texture applies smoothly. 2. It visibly reduces redness on my cheeks quickly. The redness wasn't just a cosmetic issue - it was accompanied by a stinging sensation that concerned me. But after applying this product and letting it absorb, I noticed both the redness and the stinging subsided. I primarily used this for hydration and soothing purposes, and personally, I didn't experience any blemishes or issues while using it.
Cons1. The product description mentions anti-wrinkle benefits, but honestly, I'm not sure about that. I plan to keep applying it around my eyes to see if there's any improvement. 2. The product container is a bit too delicate. When I first used it, I squeezed it like other tube cosmetics and ended up with way too much product - resulting in an unintended full-body moisturizing session!

The texture is like an emulsion or light moisturizer, making it easy to spread on the face. I've been simplifying my skincare routine lately, and even when I only use this product after cleansing, it doesn't pill. It absorbs well even when I apply a second layer.
ConsWhile the formula is quite fluid, the tube opening is a bit large, so you might accidentally squeeze out too much if you're not careful. I wish the opening was slightly smaller for easier control. Though there's nothing particularly disappointing, I didn't notice any significant improvement in my skin condition. It's a safe choice that doesn't cause blemishes, but I'm not sure about its effectiveness for hydration, brightening, or wrinkles.
TipSince the cream has a thin consistency, it's great to mix with a drop or two of facial oil for application.

When I first squeezed it out, the texture looked moisturizing but not runny - like a classic hydrating cream. Applying it to my face, I loved how it absorbed in just the right amount of time without feeling heavy. It calmed my flaky skin and eliminated deep dryness, which was very satisfying. With its Licotera ingredient that's said to help care for sensitized skin barriers, I found that when I applied it at night, my skin felt moisturized and comfortable even the next morning. Sometimes even products with good ingredients don't suit me, but this one worked well!
ConsThe tube packaging was a bit hard to control - even a slight squeeze made the product gush out, making it difficult to dispense the right amount. Not wanting to waste it, I ended up applying it not just on my face, but also on my hands, neck, and arms! While it claims to have anti-wrinkle properties, I haven't noticed any effects in that area yet.
TipIn my case, when I used this with a repair-focused essence, it caused blemishes on my face. I'd recommend using lighter products in the steps before applying this cream.

It absorbs well! Compared to other brands I've used, it has better absorption and isn't sticky at all. 2. Right after application, my skin feels hydrated on the surface. 3. The next morning, while the surface didn't feel as moisturized, it still maintained a condition similar to other products I've used. 4. Being fragrance-free, I had no aversion to it. 5. The tube packaging made it easy to apply the product. I'm somewhat considering purchasing or repurchasing it.
Cons* After about 2 weeks of use 1. I didn't really notice much of a soothing effect. The effect was more noticeable when used together with an aloe product. 2. While it claims to be non-greasy, this might vary from person to person. (I personally felt it was slightly greasy) 3. Although it's marketed as a dual-functional cosmetic for brightening and anti-wrinkle, I'm not sure about its effectiveness (I wasn't expecting dramatic results in 2 weeks, but I couldn't see any visible difference)
TipIf you're looking for a soothing effect, it might be good to use this product in combination with others.
