Pros

First, I apologize for the late review. Although I was supposed to write it after 2 weeks of use, I felt I could provide a more thorough review after about a month of use. My skin type is extremely, extremely dry! On top of that, I have sensitive skin with atopy... It's the worst type where even the most hydrating products get absorbed quickly, leaving my skin dry again. Texture - This is the most fascinating cream I've used so far! At first application, it feels rich, but as you massage it in, it transforms into a watery texture, almost like it's forming a moisture barrier! Hydration - Being a hydrating cream, it really keeps my skin from feeling dry. Most surprisingly, my skin, which usually develops dead skin cells and cracks throughout all four seasons, responded well to this. It truly lives up to its name, great for layering! Effects - Remember how I mentioned my skin cracks all year round? I was most satisfied with how it seemed to subdue the appearance of dead skin cells!

Cons

I didn't find anything particularly disappointing during my month of use!

Tip

After cleansing, I use an exfoliating toner with a pad, then apply 1-2 layers of this cream and let it absorb. I follow with serum, ampoule, and then another cream. This routine really helps combat deep dryness. I use the same method before makeup, and there's no pilling or flaking at all!

Pros

When first applied, it glides on like water, but as you massage it in, it deeply penetrates the skin. It offers excellent hydration and keeps my skin moisturized, so I find myself reapplying it frequently. Being fragrance-free, there's absolutely no lingering scent, making it perfect for someone like me with sensitive, eczema-prone skin. It's truly a product that works wonders for my complexion!

Cons

I honestly can't find any downsides to this product - I'm using it with great satisfaction. However, during the sweaty summer months, it might feel a bit rich on the skin.

Tip

I used to worry about my makeup looking patchy on dry days, but after incorporating this product into my skincare routine before applying makeup, I achieved a flawless, smooth finish. I'm absolutely thrilled with the results!

Pros

As someone with combination, sensitive, and dehydrated skin prone to blemishes, I've had trouble finding a suitable cream. Even dermatologist-prescribed creams caused issues for me. But this product is a game-changer - no breakouts at all! That alone is a huge win for me. After carefully observing its effects for several days, I can confidently say this cream has no downsides. The texture is smooth without feeling too light or heavy. It doesn't leave an unpleasant oily residue, but instead provides just the right amount of hydration. There's absolutely no pilling - it absorbs quickly without any stickiness, leaving only a moisturized feeling. You know what I mean? It's just perfect! My application tip: After prepping the skin with toner and serum for ample hydration, I mix a tiny amount of retinol serum or vitamin A derivative ointment with this cream. (On days when my skin needs extra care, I add a drop of ceramide or panthenol serum on top. It works synergistically with the cream and absorbs beautifully into the skin.) Following this routine, my skin condition has improved dramatically. I had zero expectations, but I'm amazed at how well it works. I'm planning to try other Glou products too! The packaging is adorable, and the dispenser is clean and efficient. Honestly, if a product's packaging is too tacky, it's hard to recommend no matter how good the contents are. But this one is perfect to carry in your makeup pouch! My friends always ask about it when they see me applying it - that's how portable and eye-catching it is. Although I first tried this cream as part of The Hwahae Testers program, I'll definitely repurchase it when I run out!

Cons

The fragrance could be improved. It has a strong scent similar to hand cream.

Tip

As mentioned above, I found it works great when applied with retinol or similar ingredients! I also apply it generously on my neck.

Pros

The texture is between an emulsion and a cream. It applies smoothly and absorbs well. At first, you might wonder if it's hydrating enough for the whole face, but as time passes, you can feel the moisturizing effect. Waking up, your skin looks better. It makes you realize what good absorption really means. I think it's better than products that instantly make your skin look moist. Also, the nozzle of the container is great for applying directly to the face without any discomfort. I don't like using the back of my hand, so I squeeze it right onto my face, and the rounded tip doesn't irritate the skin.

Cons

The only thing I find disappointing is that the scent isn't my style. But fragrance is such a personal preference. Other than that, I think you'll be satisfied when you try it.

Pros

It absorbs well and instantly gives a moisturizing feeling. The scent isn't overpowering, and I love how the packaging has a transparent section where the cream comes out.

Cons

I used it the evening I received it, and the next day I noticed about three small, painless blemishes. They seemed unusual, but I ignored them and applied it again the second day. After the third application, I developed milia-like acne - three on my forehead, four around my eyes, and about four on each cheek down to my chin. I had to stop using it to prevent further breakouts. It's disappointing because everyone else seems to love it, but some ingredient just doesn't agree with my super sensitive skin.

Pros

The tube packaging is convenient to carry around, and the narrow opening keeps it hygienic. It applies lightly and moisturizes well, with excellent absorption. After using it, I definitely felt my skin was smoother the next day!

Cons

While it's lightweight and hydrating, it leaves a rich feeling after application. The oiliness is quite noticeable, so it might be better suited for nighttime use. I don't usually get blemishes easily, but this product caused them to appear right away.

Pros

I was lucky enough to be selected as one of The Hwahae Testers for this product. My skin type is dry, prone to redness, and sensitive. So I was a bit worried about potential burning or flushing before using it. After application, I felt no irritation at all. I applied it after my essence, and the slight tightening sensation was really pleasant. I even used it generously on my neck. Curious about the results, I used it diligently morning and evening for two weeks. I'm thrilled to say I noticed a slight brightening effect! As I'm entering my 40s, I'm concerned about facial wrinkles, but especially the neck - they say that's where age really shows! It's great to treat the neck as an extension of the face and give it some extra care. The scent is subtle and pleasant, which makes me want to use it consistently. Given my sensitive skin, I don't often try new products, but I think I'll keep using this one!

Cons

I liked that the texture was neither too heavy nor too light. There wasn't really anything I found disappointing about it.

Tip

As we age, our face, neck, and hands seem to get drier, duller, and more wrinkled. That's why I use functional creams like this one, applying them diligently morning and evening. While I might not see immediate results, I believe that in 1, 5, or 10 years from now, I'll see a less aged version of myself. So I'm committed to using products that suit my skin. As for a tip, as I mentioned earlier, I use it on all areas prone to aging. I apply it generously to my face and neck, and use any excess on my hands for comprehensive care.

Pros

* Scent: As someone sensitive to fragrances, I often can't use products with strong scents. However, this one isn't overpowering, so I had no issues using it. * Packaging: The tube design makes it perfect for travel! Unlike other tubes that might leak when squeezed, this one has a unique nozzle shape. Plus, the consistency requires a bit of pressure to dispense, so I felt less worried about accidental leaks. * Application: The texture isn't too thick, making it comfortable for morning use. However, you might need extra hydration for nighttime routines. * Absorption: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I was impressed by how well it absorbs. It doesn't leave a slippery or sticky feeling - it just sinks right in, which I love.

Cons

Even though I kept my skincare routine the same except for this product, I experienced some blemishes at the beginning, which was disappointing. While I can't say it was 100% due to this product, it was a bit of a letdown.

Tip

Since this product is designed for wrinkle improvement, I found it works well when mixed with a bit of serum or used alongside retinol products. For areas needing extra care or feeling dry, I layered it for added hydration, which really boosted its moisturizing power!

Pros

This cream is perfect for winter use. While it applies smoothly, it feels quite thick, as if you've layered it multiple times. It's not too heavy though, and keeps your skin hydrated. At first, I thought it was a lightweight cream due to how well it absorbs, so I applied a generous amount. However, it felt a bit heavy on the skin. A little goes a long way with this one. The scent is a subtle blend of powder and floral notes, which doesn't feel artificial like many cosmetics. It's pleasant and not overpowering.

Cons

Controlling the amount is crucial. Start with a small quantity! Applying too much can lead to blemishes.

Tip

For extra hydration, try mixing it with a bit of moisturizer before applying.

Pros

I'm writing this review after using almost the entire jar. From the first application, this cream instantly became my holy grail! The subtle, sweet fragrance is the most delightful I've experienced among recent cosmetics. It's somehow familiar, perhaps reminiscent of a scent from childhood. For me, the aroma is absolutely divine - I'm head over heels for it! I was amazed to see my complexion brighten immediately upon application. It's not just a superficial whitening effect; this cream seems to refine dead skin cells and strengthen the skin barrier, leading to a fundamental improvement in my skin's condition. The cream imparts a beautiful glow, likely due to its rich content of beneficial ingredients like peptides and collagen. Given that I haven't experienced any blemishes, I don't think it's overly rich. This is definitely a holy grail product that I want to keep using, and I'm tempted to stock up during special sales!

Cons

There's nothing disappointing about this product. My only regret is seeing the jar getting empty as I love this cream so much!
