The best thing about it is its restorative power. I had persistent acne scars on my chin, but they started to fade and disappear. It's usually difficult to see immediate improvements in skin elasticity from cosmetics, but I was truly amazed to see the long-standing marks and uneven texture vanish. The cream's texture is neither too rich nor too light - it's just right in the middle. It applies smoothly and absorbs well. I dislike strongly scented cosmetics, so I appreciated that this one is fragrance-free, making it comfortable to use.
ConsWith the changing seasons and sudden cold snap, my skin felt dry when exposed to the chilly wind. I expected this barrier cream to lock in deep hydration, but it fell short in that aspect. I had to apply my usual cream when my skin felt dry. The main reason I deducted a star is because it contains pore-clogging ingredients that didn't suit my skin. While I was pleased with how quickly it faded acne scars, ironically, I noticed new blemishes slowly emerging. Since it's not primarily a soothing product, it might not be suitable for those with acne-prone skin.
TipThis product seems better suited for skin that needs regeneration rather than for those with acne-prone skin!

I was worried the nourishing cream texture might be too heavy, but it's not at all burdensome for my combination skin. It provides a nice moisturizing and firming effect, like it's creating a thin protective layer on the skin, which I really appreciate. Unlike lighter moisturizers that only provide hydration, this cream actually seemed to nourish the fine lines, making it feel like the moisture was penetrating deeper into the skin. They've managed to create something with an eye cream-like texture, but lighter, so it's suitable for the whole face. After application, it feels like the moisture is locked in, which is fantastic! What I was most excited about was the EGF ingredient, which is supposed to aid skin recovery and create a smooth skin texture. Recently, due to the changing seasons and not cleansing properly, I had some acne and pigmentation from healing blemishes. I noticed these issues seemed to recover faster than usual, so I'm satisfied with its effectiveness. I'm most pleased with how it nourishes the skin, helping with both recovery and texture improvement.
ConsIt might feel a bit heavy for those with oily skin during summer. If you have acne, it's best to avoid applying it directly on those areas. Highly recommended for those with dry skin, fine lines, and thin skin! While the ingredients are all good, I was worried about it potentially clogging pores and causing acne for oily skin types. However, when applied at night and washed off well, it doesn't seem to be a major issue. But when my skin isn't in good condition, it feels like it might clog pores and increase dead skin cells and sebum production. It seems to work better when your skin is already in good shape.
TipApply this thinly before makeup for an easy Inner Glow look! If you've applied it at night, make sure to cleanse thoroughly in the morning. In the morning, just apply a thin layer as if you're forming a protective film. It works even better when your skin is already in good condition. Applying a thin layer before your moisturizer seems to help the hydration absorb better.

My skin is basically a high-maintenance boss that I have to tiptoe around. I suffer from deep dryness (you can see how parched my hands look in the attached photo of the product texture - it's quite telling), and I'm noticing more fine lines. So, I'm using products with hydration and firming benefits. My skin often acts up, but it responds well to centella. I'm currently testing to see if other ingredients work well too. ■Expected Results - Checking if other ingredients (hydrolyzed pea protein, sh-oligopeptide1) are effective - Skin improvement (firmness, brightening, hydration) ■Usage Period Oct 28, 2024 - Present (Nov 8, 2024) >> 12 days since delivery ■Recommendation Rating (4 stars) When used as a night cream, my skin feels oddly soft and smooth after washing my face the next morning. I'm not sure about the firming effects honestly, but my skin texture seems improved. The hydration feels a bit lacking even with double application, which is disappointing. ## Positives ## 1. No blemishes Despite the texture being quite shiny after application, I used it generously as a night cream and experienced no breakouts. 2. Improved skin texture After applying a thick layer at night, my skin feels soft and smooth when I wash my face in the morning. Usually, I feel intense tightness due to deep dryness after cleansing, but I noticed an improvement from the day after using this product. There's also no quick appearance of dead skin cells after washing, giving me the impression that my skin texture has mysteriously improved. The pea protein emortal seems effective for deep dryness - it's definitely noticeable the morning after night application. 3. Pump bottle More hygienic and convenient than using a spatula for a cream formula. Perfect for quick application. The bottle is lightweight and appropriately thin, making it easy to hold with one hand. 4. Generous amount for carefree use Not sure about the price, but the amount feels substantial. 50ml for a cream lasts quite a while. It really gives that 'slather it on' moisturizer vibe with its ample quantity.
Cons## Drawbacks ## 1. Feels lacking in hydration Two pumps (double layer) feel insufficient. (The attached photo showing one application reveals the lack of hydration.) You need to apply generously until you feel the hydration. Those with drier skin than mine might need to use this with another moisturizer. 2. Can't really tell about firmness After 12 days of use, I can't really notice the firming effects. Pillow marks are still there, as are fine lines and pore size... While I didn't expect miracles, given it's not medication, for a product touting firmness, I can't say I've seen much improvement. Though it might be due to the short usage period. 3. Excessive shine Not suitable for morning or daytime use. Even one pump leaves a very shiny finish. The product description mentions 'glow', but this is beyond that - it's more like you've applied oil. 4. Absorption While the cream isn't particularly sticky, it absorbs slowly. This causes pilling when applying makeup on top. It's especially noticeable when applying sunscreen (mineral filters).
TipI recommend using this as a night cream. If you have severe deep dryness and tend to get flaky skin, apply a generous amount in the evening. When you wash your face the next morning, it'll feel soft and smooth. Rather than exfoliating, it seems to prevent dead skin cells from becoming noticeable by providing enough hydration. I rarely recommend products, but I'd endorse this aspect. Did you notice your makeup pilling when used during the day? You can try patting on your makeup instead of rubbing, but honestly, to avoid stress, just use it in the evening.

Let me share what I personally liked about this product. I chose this product mainly because it contains EGF, which is known for its regenerative properties. For those of us with problematic skin, it's even more crucial. With frequent breakouts and wounds, using regenerative skincare helps minimize scarring. It also contains 5 types of peptides, which are said to have Botox-like wrinkle-reducing effects, promote skin regeneration, improve skin thickness, and provide hydration. This is a functional cosmetic certified by the KFDA for whitening and anti-wrinkle benefits. I've heard it's even used in dermatology clinics, which speaks to its quality. I really appreciate the packaging - it's a pump bottle, not a tube or jar, making it more hygienic. I was worried the texture might be too thick, but it spreads easily and absorbs well. It's also nearly fragrance-free, which I love. While the regular price might seem high, I found it on sale on the official website, making it a great deal for a high-quality functional skincare product. A small amount in the morning works well under makeup without pilling. It should be perfect for the cooler weather too. As you can see in the photos, I had some red marks from popped pimples, but thankfully they healed well. I believe using this regenerative product helped them heal faster without scarring.
ConsI was concerned about the two pore-clogging ingredients, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I haven't experienced any clogged pores or new breakouts. While I love the pump bottle design, it's hard to tell how much product is left.
