As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I always prefer moisturizers containing squalane, and this one is perfect. The scent is nearly fragrance-free, making it ideal for those who dislike strong fragrances. Its light texture is great for dry skin types - you might want to layer it a few times for better results.
ConsWhen applied just once, it felt a bit drying and tight. I had to use so much mist! With my combination dehydrated skin, dryness can lead to an oil overload, potentially causing small bumps. A few appeared, so I temporarily stopped using it. The formula is quite runny, so be careful when opening the tube as it tends to drip out quickly.
TipFor those with dry skin, I recommend applying two or three layers for optimal hydration.

It has a light, fluid texture like an essence - smooth and weightless! There's no fragrance and it's not sticky at all, which I love as someone who prefers unscented products. Even those with dry skin can use this without any issues! The runny consistency makes it effortless to apply, and a little goes a long way, so it's quite economical too!
ConsThe only downside is the small amount you get. It's not exactly cheap, so it's disappointing that it'll run out quickly. Also, if you prefer scented products or dislike thin textures, this might not be for you. I was surprised at first - I didn't realize how fluid it was and squeezed out way too much! It suddenly started dripping from my hand, which was quite startling. These are the aspects I find a bit disappointing!

Absorbs beautifully! It glides on so smoothly, I often reach for it when I'm in a hurry. Even though I have super sensitive skin, it didn't cause any blemishes. Seems quite gentle! Definitely a recommended cream for combination dehydrated skin. It absorbs well too!
ConsThe scent is a bit... off-putting. I think it's a matter of personal preference. It's too runny (though not exactly watery). So when you stand the container upright and open the lid, it gushes out. Feels like the packaging doesn't match the formula. The lid is so flimsy it breaks easily with use... And for some reason, it occasionally leaves a shiny, oily film on the skin. It doesn't happen every day, so it might depend on my skin condition...
TipIt's better for daytime use than nighttime! Since it feels light and refreshing, you might find it a bit too light when using it at night.

Highly recommended for those with dry skin. It's quite rich, perfect for slathering on as a night treatment. Love that it's a tube rather than a jar - no more product getting stuck under your nails!
ConsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it a bit too rich. It feels heavy rather than refreshing. Even when testing on my hand, I noticed it doesn't absorb quickly and leaves an oily residue. Be careful with the amount you use - it's trickier to control than expected. Also, watch out when applying directly to your face as it can run easily.

After washing my face, it felt slightly itchy, but a few minutes after applying this cream, the itchy sensation disappeared and the redness subsided! I've never really felt a strong soothing effect from creams before, but with this product, I noticed the effects immediately! Absorption & Application: It's thinner than what you'd typically expect from a cream - closer to an emulsion with a light texture! Because of this, it applies smoothly without any stickiness and absorbs well into the skin without delay! Hydration & Moisture: Despite its light texture, it provides ample hydration! After application, my skin didn't feel tight at all, and I didn't feel the need to apply another cream. It was sufficiently moisturizing on its own! (Though it might not be enough for those with extremely dry skin..!) Even when I used it during the changing seasons, I didn't feel any dryness and have been using it comfortably.
ConsPackaging: The one and only disappointing aspect was the packaging. While the tube format was great for hygienic use, the opening seemed a bit wide for the thin consistency. Every time I opened it, some product would immediately drip out, so I always had to be careful when opening it.
TipWhile it's sufficient on its own, if you want a bit more moisture, it works well when mixed with a thicker cream.

It absorbs well even when layered thinly two or three times. It's packed with hydration, so I often reach for it before applying makeup in the morning. The packaging is so thoughtfully done, it feels like receiving a gift.
ConsThe slightly runny texture makes me think a tube type would be more suitable and convenient than a pot type, though a pump-type package could work well too. As I tend to apply two or three layers, I feel like I'm using it up quickly. It would be nice if it came in a larger size.

It's thinner than a cream, more like an emulsion, and I thought it was unscented, but when applied, it has a cool, refreshing scent similar to cica products. It glides on smoothly and feels like it absorbs quickly into the skin. It gives a glow as if you've applied oil, filling the skin with hydration. Despite its thin consistency, I found I didn't need to apply a separate cream as it provided sufficient moisture without any feeling of dryness. This product alone seems enough. It's perfect for those with deep dryness to use before makeup, allowing for a glowing look without feeling parched.
ConsSince it's a thin cream in a tube, when you open the cap to apply the vertically stored product, it tends to drip a little.
TipNow that spring is here and it's not as dry as winter, this product alone could work great as your final moisturizing step!

As someone with facial redness, blemish scars, and prone to flushing, my usual routine involves applying refrigerated aloe gel after cleansing at night, then rinsing it off before my skincare routine. During the testing period, I only used my regular toner followed by this cream, without any additional products. I applied it every morning and evening, except on mornings when I wore makeup (on the last day, I only used it in the morning). The cream doesn't absorb instantly and has a rich texture, which caused some pilling under makeup. However, since it's not intended as a makeup base, this wasn't a major issue. Regarding the effects, while it claims to soothe and hydrate, I definitely felt the hydration but didn't notice significant soothing effects. However, I was very satisfied with the hydration it provided, especially considering its price point. I learned that it contains olive-derived squalane, which explains its ability to quickly hydrate the skin. As someone with combination dehydrated skin that starts off very dry but becomes oily later, I found that applying too much of this cream on dry days led to excessive oiliness. So, for those with similar skin types, I'd recommend using a moderate amount (it's great for the current dry weather, but might be too heavy for summer use). While it claims multiple benefits like hydration, soothing, pore tightening, and barrier support, I can't honestly say I experienced all of these in just two weeks of use. However, I can confidently say it's an excellent product for hydration. After about two weeks of use, I'm on the fence about repurchasing. I personally prefer products that offer both hydration and soothing effects, but for those specifically looking for intense hydration, this could be a great option.
ConsThe product has a very runny consistency, so it tends to spill out even when you just open the lid. It would be more user-friendly if the opening was a bit smaller.

It suggests applying multiple layers to dry areas, so I did that on my dry U-zone. There was no tightness, and I absolutely loved that it has no artificial fragrance when applied! Recently, I've been struggling with deep dryness, but after using The Riz La Coteca moisturizer, I could visibly see the improvement in hydration and soothing effects. It's fantastic! And guess what? It's not sticky at all! You know how important that is, right? Considering the quality for the price, I highly recommend purchasing this!
ConsThere's really nothing bad to say, but if I had to pick one thing, the texture is a bit runny. When you open the cap, it tends to pour out quickly. I'd recommend using just a gentle squeeze when dispensing, as even a light press releases plenty of product!
