The tape on the delivery box was paper, and even the padding around the product was paper-based. That's great! The cream has a hydrating gel-cream texture that spreads smoothly and absorbs well. My forehead was dealing with a blemish outbreak from using the wrong cosmetics, so I was worried about making it worse. But thanks to the ingredients, it actually helped soothe my skin quickly when it felt irritated. That was a pleasant surprise!
ConsPersonally, I'm not a fan of the scent. It's not overpowering, but there's an odd fragrance that reminds me of old cosmetics. I can't quite place it. The lingering scent after application makes me hesitant to use it regularly. Despite usually getting along well with Centella asiatica products, I experienced a stinging sensation and tearing up right after the first application. I had to wash it off immediately. I thought it was just the initial use, but it keeps happening. Interestingly, when I tried to look up the brand 'Mimain' online, I couldn't find any information. That makes me even more curious about it!

I love that the packaging is eco-friendly, mostly using paper materials. The scent was fine for me. It applies smoothly and seems to absorb well.
ConsI felt a slight tingling sensation around my eye area. Almost every time I apply this, it makes my eyes water. It's disappointing that there's no spatula included, so you have to scoop it out with your fingers.

The cream is on the thinner side, so it works great when used with other products. It might be a bit dry if used alone, so for those with dry skin, I definitely recommend layering it with other products! Right after application, I noticed a glow and felt like it created a slight coating on my skin. When I applied it in the morning before makeup, it gave me that Inner Glow effect, which made my makeup look great. I didn't experience any blemishes after using this. I think it would work well for those with acne-prone skin too.
ConsAs others have mentioned in their reviews, the scent is a bit off-putting... I've never really thought much about cosmetic fragrances before, but this product has a scent that I personally dislike... I can't help but think they could have left out the fragrance altogether. Also, some time after applying the cream, I touched my eye area and my eyes stung terribly... This had never happened to me before, so it was quite shocking... After that, I tried to avoid touching my eye area after applying this cream, but even when I yawned or teared up, it seemed like the cream somehow got into my eyes, causing a stinging sensation... I think you need to be really careful about this... And maybe because my eye area is slightly more sensitive than other parts of my face, I felt a slight tingling sensation on my skin as well.
TipI highly recommend layering this with other products. It might be fine on its own in summer, but in winter it can be drying, so using it alone is not an option... Also, I suggest avoiding the eye area as much as possible when applying this. I use a different cream for my eye area instead!

The texture was surprisingly thin for a cream. I liked that it wasn't too sticky or heavy. It left a fresh finish, so I think it would provide just the right amount of hydration for those with oily, combination, or combination dehydrated skin!
ConsSince I only used it for a short period, I couldn't tell, but I didn't notice any brightening effects, nor did I see any improvement in wrinkles. To truly experience the product's functional benefits, I think it needs to be used consistently for a longer time. Also, every time I applied the cream, I felt a slight tingling sensation. Especially around my eyes where I recently developed some atopic dermatitis, I experienced a burning sensation and tingling. For those with super sensitive skin like mine, I'd recommend doing a patch test before use. The fragrance was also quite strong, reminiscent of old-fashioned cosmetics... It didn't feel like a gentle skincare product. I was quite disappointed with the effectiveness considering the price, and I don't plan to purchase it.

Recently, I had some rare occurrences of small pimples, and due to winter, my skin was very dry with a compromised skin barrier. After switching my skincare products and focusing on barrier care, including using the Mimain cream, my skin texture has significantly improved. - Texture: Light and refreshing like a soothing cream. It has a consistency between an emulsion and a cream, and it's incredibly smooth. - Scent: A mix of Amos glue stick, floral notes, and a slight... odd scent? Many people dislike the fragrance. To me, it immediately reminded me of a stronger version of Amos glue stick. It's truly a unique scent, but I didn't mind it! - Review: 1. Great for hydration💦 With almost no oiliness, it's perfect for combination dehydrated skin. The light, refreshing texture absorbs quickly, making it great for skincare before makeup. At night, layering is needed for continuous hydration. I felt slight deep dryness with one layer, but from 2-3 layers, I could feel the hydration. Compared to my previous cream, the Mimain cream caused less deep dryness even when layered. 2. It tackled my small pimples🫢 While I did use other products, I completely stopped using my previous cream and only used the Mimain cream. As a result, hydrating my skin reduced my small pimples from about 10 to just 2. My forehead, which was always bumpy, is now smooth! 3. My skin texture improved🤗 After using the cream for about a week, I noticed a change in my skin texture. Previously, my skin was only smooth in the morning after cleansing and felt rough with uneven texture in the evening. Now, my skin condition is good regardless of the time of day. In the attached photo, you can see the Inner Glow on my skin. I never had that kind of radiance before! The glow of my skin has changed since my skin texture improved.
ConsThere are two downsides: 1. I felt irritation when my skin barrier was compromised. Even though I didn't feel much irritation with toner, serum, or emulsion, when I applied the Mimain cream, my skin stung intensely...😢 The difference between a compromised barrier and an improved one was very noticeable. At first, the stinging was so bad that I thought this product wasn't suitable for me. Usually, when I feel irritation, my skin always reacts badly the next day. Surprisingly, even though it stung, my skin was fine the next day, which was puzzling. I guess that means the ingredients are good, and my skin barrier was just extremely compromised? After diligently caring for my skin barrier and once my skin returned to normal, there was no more irritation. 2. Unhygienic cream container Many people have pointed this out. There's no built-in spatula, so you have to scoop it out with your hands or use a separate spatula, which is inconvenient. I believe the first step in skincare is clean hands🤲 By the time you've twisted off the large lid, opened the inner cap, and scooped out the cream, a lot of bacteria have likely already been introduced. Since the texture isn't too thick, changing to a pump bottle would make it much more hygienic to use. The process of using the cream is cumbersome and unhygienic. I found myself constantly sanitizing my hands before applying the cream to my face, which was time-consuming and made me feel uneasy.
TipIf your skin barrier is compromised, I recommend using other products to repair it before using this cream. While it may vary from person to person, for sensitive skin with a compromised barrier, using the Mimain cream can cause extreme stinging to the point where you might want to wash your face immediately!

It worsened again this summer, but has greatly improved with prescribed medication. Due to lingering concerns, I've been doing gentle cleansing and using only one type of cream. For the past 2-3 weeks, I've been using a cleansing milk (Sidmool) and sunscreen (Dr. Comma mineral sunscreen). As long as I avoid excessive drinking, inflammation doesn't flare up significantly. However, due to my super sensitive skin, I rarely wear makeup unless it's for an important occasion (I use a regenerating BB cream (Pymongshé) for events like weddings). - Redness that developed after the first occurrence of dermatitis 5-6 years ago (prone to emotional flushing and weather-induced redness) - If I mistakenly apply strong functional cosmetics, the areas where I previously had dermatitis become red or experience a burning sensation - Skin texture is normal, but I tend to get quite painful blemishes (1 to 3-4 at most) when using products with high oil content Positives: - Although I don't apply it daily as a precaution, I use it occasionally for maintenance, and so far, there have been no inflammatory reactions or increased redness - Due to heating, I sometimes wake up feeling dry in the morning, but when I apply this product before bed, the dryness seems less noticeable - The absorption is quite good - With this level of mild stimulation, it seems suitable for regular skincare use
ConsRoom for improvement: - I can't use it daily due to a very slight tingling sensation No other drawbacks so far! As long as I don't apply too much, the absorption is fine I wish it could be applied without irritation even during summer when my redness worsens
TipIf you have sensitive areas, first apply the product to less sensitive parts, then gently pat the remaining cream onto more delicate areas with your palms

For a barrier cream, it felt more bouncy than rich, which was refreshing! - It's quite rich in oils, so I'd recommend it more for dry or combination skin types rather than those with oily skin. - Despite its oil content, it doesn't feel overly sticky and I found it absorbs well into the skin. - I loved using this cream before applying a matte foundation. Using a moderate amount (too much can cause pilling) and letting it absorb well, then applying foundation, gave me a natural, dewy look that wasn't overwhelming - much better than using a moisturizing foundation alone.
Cons- I experienced some irritation when it came into contact with acne scars. It had a tingling sensation! - It doesn't come with a spatula. If you prefer a more hygienic application method, you'll need to use your own spatula. - For a skincare product, it has quite a strong scent. This might be hit or miss depending on personal preference, so those with sensitivities should be cautious. - The fragrance lingered on the skin for quite a while after application. Again, this could be an issue for those sensitive to scents. - I'm not sure about its effectiveness in improving the skin barrier. It felt more like it was just replenishing the skin's oil and moisture balance to prevent dryness.

It's similar to what I usually use. The absorption was good, and I felt it moisturized well. The most important thing for me is whether it causes blemishes, and happily, it didn't cause any. Hooray!
ConsWhile it doesn't cause blemishes... I think it doesn't agree with my atopic skin. When I applied it for one day, it stung a bit, so I left it. After two days of use, it stung even more. I've had this happen before with products high in active ingredients, so I kept using it. On the third day, when I applied it in the morning, it stung terribly and my skin turned red, so I washed it off immediately... I guess I was being foolish. I suffered from dermatitis for 5 days, but it's better now... Those with atopic dermatitis should be cautious. Other than this, I had no complaints.

This seems great for those with dry skin 2. It absorbs well!
Cons1. The biggest drawback is... I've never smelled this kind of scent in cosmetics before. It smells like a public restroom...? 2. It feels more rich than hydrating That said, if you're wondering whether it can combat dryness, I don't think it quite manages that. It might be a disappointing product for those with oily or extremely dry skin 3. The moment you apply and spread it on your skin, it burns and tingles Those with sensitive skin should take note!
