The narrow, elongated opening prevented spills, ensuring hygienic use. Texture: Despite being a moisturizer, it doesn't run. As you spread it, it feels like water droplets bursting, applying with a watery sensation! Scent: I thought it was unscented, but there's a subtle, fresh fragrance. You won't notice it unless you really try to smell it. Application: The texture's advantage is that unlike typical creams used as a final step, which can feel heavy due to previously applied skincare, this one transforms into a serum-like consistency when massaged in. It feels light yet effectively hydrates, making it comfortable to use. While it's a moisturizer, rather than feeling fresh, it gives a glossy, oil-like coating. It might look greasy, potentially causing milia or blemishes, but after sleeping with it on, you wake up looking well-rested with visibly moisturized and coated skin. It seems to balance oil and moisture well!
ConsThough not thick, it has an oily feel that can make your skin feel slightly suffocated when applied. Those with oily skin might want to keep this in mind.
TipApplying this after an exfoliating toner on dry skin seems to maximize its effectiveness!

While wearing a mask at work, my acne started flaring up again! I was so stressed, but then I tried the Glu Hapcore Layered Cream. For acne, scars, and pores: My acne improved noticeably. As you can see in the photos, many of the red blemishes have disappeared, and scars have definitely faded. Using a modeling mask alongside it enhanced the effects. As for spot care, I didn't notice much change in my pores. The scent is fruity? It's the best fragrance I've experienced among all the creams I've used. I think it's a scent that won't be polarizing, so I recommend it! The texture is neither too rich nor too thin - it's just right. Personally, I often feel suffocated when using thick textures due to my oily skin, but this medium consistency was perfect for layering after toner and serum. When applying makeup the next day after layering the cream multiple times at night, I noticed a significant reduction in deep dryness. It was so amazing that I made sure to apply it every night. My makeup looked less patchy than before, and even for those with dry skin, layering it multiple times before makeup should help it withstand windy weather. I was surprised by how gentle the ingredients are. The Rootness Mood+, a psychodermatology ingredient, harnesses the sun's positive energy. Though it's a bit of a complex term, it improves skin tone, acne, inflammation, and maintains healthy skin. I was amazed by these excellent ingredients. The product uses osmotic principles, allowing for skin texture improvement without harsh peeling. Although my word choice and sentences might sound like an advertisement, I'm genuinely impressed by the incredible ingredients. When I first saw the price, I wondered, 'How good can it be? Are the ingredients that great? Will it work well for all skin types?' After using it for nearly two weeks, I could really feel my skin condition improving. Considering the ingredients and principles used, it's truly a great product for its price.
ConsThose with combination dehydrated skin might feel like there's residual oil after application! It doesn't absorb immediately, so you might feel a slippery sensation for a while. It might feel a bit heavy when used in summer.
TipI highly recommend this as a soothing product before bed. While it's great before makeup, it's also excellent for calming irritated skin at night!

Even after applying makeup and as time passes, my skin doesn't feel tight. With the cold weather lately, when I applied emulsion before makeup, it would flake around my brow area, nose tip, and mouth. But with this product, there's no flaking at all! It's truly a makeup-friendly cream. ✔️Moisturizing You don't need to apply a separate moisturizing cream as your skin won't feel tight! Even with the heater on while working, my skin stays perfectly fine! ✔️Low oil content As someone with combination dehydrated skin, when I use a hydrating cream + moisturizer or just a hydrating cream alone for night care, I usually feel very oily during morning cleansing. However, with this product, I barely felt any oiliness in the morning after using it at night. That said, some oil does surface after wearing makeup for a while, but this happens with any product for my skin type, so it was fine. ✔️Scent It has a scent reminiscent of energy drinks - it might be a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance, but I found it okay! It's much better than old-fashioned cosmetic smells, and it feels somewhat refreshing. ✔️Gentle ingredients The ingredients are gentle, and I didn't experience any blemishes after using it for about 10 days! It's truly a holy grail cream. ✔️Dead skin cells It seems to remove some dead skin cells. When I used a peeling gel, less dead skin came off compared to before! However, it doesn't dramatically reduce dead skin cells as much as using a peeling gel would.
Cons✔️Application The texture is a bit thick when first applied, then changes to a water-like consistency, so the application wasn't great. ✔️Slipperiness Right after application, it feels like it forms a slight film? Some might find it a bit suffocating.
TipIt's great for both morning and evening use! Apply it before makeup, then use a spatula to apply foundation and blend with a puff - your makeup will adhere perfectly! For those with combination dehydrated skin, remember to set with powder as oil will surface later.

The texture isn't particularly light. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it gentle but a bit rich, which led to some oiliness. However, it did address my deep dryness, so it's a bit of a mixed bag!
ConsDue to its richness, it feels heavy and can be a bit overwhelming, making my skin feel slightly suffocated.
TipThis could work well for those with dry skin, either as a night cream or for daily use. However, if you tend to have oily skin, you'll need to be careful with the amount you apply!

First off, the way it absorbs is quite unique! It's a white formula that's neither too thick nor too runny. It feels like a cream but also somewhat like a base makeup product in how it absorbs! At first I was skeptical, but I liked that you can layer it to adjust the level of hydration for different areas. 2. It plays well with makeup. It doesn't completely absorb leaving a clean finish, nor does it leave a thick mask-like feeling, so I found it better suited as a pre-makeup complexion evener rather than a nighttime skincare product. 3. The scent is lovely. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is, but the fragrance when applying isn't too strong or like an unscented medicinal smell - it's pleasantly subtle! 4. The cream tip is shaped like an eye cream product, making it easy to dispense! It also seems much more hygienic than jar-type products.
Cons1. As someone with very sensitive combination dehydrated skin, when I applied it generously all over and slept with it on, I got blemishes in my T-zone. If you don't have dry skin, I recommend layering only on areas lacking oil and moisture balance! 2. The feel of the product might be quite divisive. It has a slight makeup base-like quality, so those who prefer lightweight skincare might find it a bit heavy.
TipWhile it's good for providing hydration on completely dry skin, I found that applying it when the skin is slightly damp creates a protective layer that keeps moisture in for longer! Also, it evens out skin texture nicely, so I used it often under cushion foundation!

This review is based on about 9 days of use from January 22nd to January 30th. Container: The transparent opening allows you to see how much cream is left. The long, narrow opening makes it easy to control the amount dispensed, so you don't have to worry about too much coming out at once. However, if you prefer to dispense larger amounts quickly, you might find it a bit frustrating! Volume: It's 50ml. I use it twice a day, morning and evening, so it should last over two months. With the dry winter weather, I tend to apply cream generously, and for that purpose, the amount feels a bit insufficient. Scent: It has a herbal scent, which I personally liked. The fragrance isn't overpowering, giving a sense of comfort during application. Texture: The color and texture resemble wood glue, but it's not sticky and has almost no viscosity, feeling fresh instead. It still provides some hydration, so those with dry skin might find it insufficient on its own in winter, while those with oily skin could use it well except in the coldest months. With my combination skin, applying it once on my cheeks alone left them feeling dry. Feel on skin: It's not rich, absorbs well, and after application, it feels like it forms a barrier that prevents moisture from evaporating immediately. Personally, I found it more suitable for summer than winter. Although it claims to improve wrinkles, I didn't notice any significant improvement when applied to my wrinkles. Unlike Physiogel, which tends to pill when I apply makeup over it, this cream didn't have that issue as much. Value for money: At 38,000 won for 50ml, it doesn't seem particularly cost-effective.
ConsDrawbacks: • As mentioned earlier, the narrow opening might be frustrating for those who like to apply cream generously • Expensive price for the small amount • In winter, you may need to apply 2-3 layers if using it alone
TipPro tip: The narrow opening allows for creating 'cat whiskers' on your face
