Usually, soothing gel-like formulas struggle to address deep dryness, but this one definitely locks in hydration even deep down. No greasiness, no stickiness - I'll definitely repurchase when I run out!
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but if I had to nitpick, I'm a bit worried about accidentally squeezing out too much product like with ointment tubes. A tube format might be better, haha!
TipJust a quick toner followed by this alone before bed, and it's seriously the ultimate hydration champion!

Heavy oils or excessive product use often leads to milia. After examining the ingredients, I had high hopes for this product. 1. Ingredients and Blemishes As mentioned, I'm prone to milia depending on ingredients, but this formula looked promising. Throughout use, I experienced no blemishes and even noticed a calming effect. It was particularly helpful when my skin was feeling super sensitive recently. 2. Texture and Application As shown in the photo, it has a gel-like consistency. There's a slight cooling sensation upon application, and it absorbs well. After applying, there's no sticky feeling, and it leaves a fresh finish. 3. Packaging I was initially concerned about the aluminum tube tearing with repeated use, but I learned it's designed for recyclability. Knowing that 1% of sales go to environmental organizations added to my confidence in the brand. 4. Overall Impression For combination dehydrated skin, unresolved deep dryness often leads to blemishes, so I've always been cautious about skincare while focusing on soothing and hydration. This product has great ingredients, absorbs well, and leaves a nice finish. It was incredibly helpful when I was experiencing skin issues. I find it to be a quality product and would recommend it!
ConsWhile I was initially worried about the tube tearing during use, it doesn't seem to be a real concern. There aren't any downsides worth mentioning!

It's gentle and doesn't cause any tingling sensation. As someone with oily skin, I prefer lightweight moisturizers that don't clog pores, but often find they evaporate quickly. However, this gel cream maintains its hydration without feeling greasy. I usually apply toner and gel cream, but during seasonal changes, I layer it with essence toner, firming serum, or emulsion/cream for extra moisture. Its lightweight texture allows for great synergy with other products, and you can adjust the amount based on your skin's condition, making it a versatile all-rounder for blemishes or dryness.
ConsWhile it's a great lightweight hydrating gel cream for oily skin, it focuses solely on basic moisturizing functions (hydration and retention). It's a bit disappointing that it lacks additional benefits like brightening or anti-aging properties.
TipIf you apply a generous layer before bed as an overnight mask, you'll wake up with plump skin and a beautiful Inner Glow.

It's a gel-cream, so I was worried it might pill under makeup, but that wasn't an issue at all. Scent: To me, it seemed almost fragrance-free. Moisturizing: For my combination dehydrated skin, it provided just the right amount of hydration for this weather. For those with dry skin, it might be a bit light, so layering small amounts could work well. Calming: While my skin has been super sensitive lately with some blemishes, I didn't notice it particularly soothing those spots.
ConsThe ointment-style packaging sometimes dispenses more product than I want, which is a bit disappointing. Also, it doesn't absorb particularly quickly, so you need to pat it in carefully to prevent pilling.

The packaging is recyclable, and the advantage of this type of container is that it's hygienic - once the product comes out, it doesn't go back in. Just remember to squeeze gently to avoid dispensing too much at once. This hydrating gel cream contains hyaluronic acid, so it absorbs quickly and feels light on the skin. Even when layered, it doesn't pill, which is great. It also contains panthenol, which helps soothe the skin, so you're getting both hydration and calming benefits in one product. I found it suitable for daily use because it doesn't leave any oily residue that could cause blemishes - only a moisturized feeling remains after application. The scent is almost undetectable, so there's no irritation from fragrance.
ConsI didn't find any significant drawbacks. Some people might find the packaging a bit inconvenient, depending on how they use it.
TipSince it has a lightweight formula, you can apply multiple layers if you need extra hydration. It absorbs well without pilling.

As the seasons change, do you find yourself mixing your moisturizer with a bit of cream or oil because moisturizer alone isn't enough? (I do!) This product has exactly that texture. The effects are just as impressive. It provides hydration and a calming effect that's neither too light nor too heavy. It feels like it creates a protective layer on your skin, and the effects last all day long. When you apply it in the morning and touch your face at night, you can still feel it working.
ConsIt may cause some pilling with makeup. The aluminum container has a rather wide opening, which can make it difficult to control the amount of product you dispense.

Being a gel cream, it feels moisturizing and absorbs lightly~ Despite my face typically getting warm easily due to the texture, it seems to have a cooling effect (in my personal experience) I expected it to be extremely drying, but it wasn't as dehydrating as I thought it would be >Texture It feels like a typical gel cream >Scent There's no strong fragrance, but if you put your nose close, you can detect a slight scent However, it's so subtle that I don't think people will have strong opinions about the fragrance either way!
Cons>Aluminum Packaging This is really disappointing for me personally. Aluminum containers often have their printing rubbed off when they bump against other products, which can end up on your hands. While it didn't happen during use, most aluminum packaging has this issue, so it's a bit of a letdown >Opening The opening is also made of aluminum, like an ointment tube, but it's quite wide. If you're not careful and your hand touches it, it can be a bit uncomfortable and scratchy
Tip>It might be fine for dry skin in autumn, but could potentially be too drying in winter

But when I use this product, that tightness is significantly reduced, which I love! ☆Soothing: When my skin is irritated, most products sting and make it worse the next day. This one, however, tackles deep dryness without causing any additional issues, which is great. ☆Moisture: The gel texture provides a noticeable hydration that I really appreciate.
Cons☆Packaging: The container is made of a material similar to ointment tubes, so it may tear more easily than other plastic containers. You need to be careful with it.

It's perfect for this season, offering both hydration and skin-soothing benefits. It's great to use before makeup - it doesn't pill or leave my skin feeling dry. The cooling effect is amazing, especially after a workout when my face feels hot. It absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky or uncomfortable residue. It really works hard to keep my skin feeling fresh and balanced!
ConsThe metal packaging can be a bit problematic. If you squeeze it too hard, the edges can become sharp, and the paint might chip off. This makes me worry about it potentially bursting open or causing injury if I carry it in my bag or makeup pouch.

Despite that, I found its hydration to be quite satisfactory. Perhaps because we're not yet in the peak dry season, it seems to have just the right texture and moisturizing effect for this time of year. When I heard 'gel' cream, I thought it might absorb super quickly but dry out soon after. However, while it is a gel cream, it's not the type that absorbs instantly and evaporates right away. It feels like a cream that would work well for three seasons, excluding winter. I initially thought it was for body use and tested it like a body emulsion. I didn't notice any strong fragrances or unusual ingredients, so I think I'll try it on my face too!
ConsIt's disappointing that there was no clear indication whether this is for face or body use, or if it's suitable for both. Neither the product itself nor the event page provided any explanation about its intended use. The price seems a bit high for the amount you get.
