The scent is subtle and not overpowering, so it's likely to be universally appealing. ☑️Texture - It has a truly unique texture. It seems like a regular cream, but when you spread it with your hands, it becomes quite elastic. The texture feels rich without being overly oily. ☑️Application - It doesn't spread easily at first, so I had to warm it up in my hands until it softened before applying. ☑️After use - The finish feels firm on the skin. It seems to provide definite hydration.
Cons☑️Absorption - It was a bit inconvenient that I couldn't easily scoop and apply it right away. ☑️Packaging - The cream comes in a jar rather than a tube, and I was disappointed that it didn't include a spatula for scooping the product.

At first, I thought, 'Can this really be applied to the face?' because of its thick consistency. But as I started applying it, I realized it wasn't impossible to spread! When applying it around the eyes, it feels like an eye cream, so there's no discomfort. However, when applying it all over the face, it felt a bit unusual at first since I've never used such a thick cream before. Thanks to this cream, my skin's hydration is locked in tight. Even when I wake up in the morning, my skin still feels moisturized. After using it for a week, my skin felt noticeably firmer. The scent is slightly cool and refreshing, and when applied, there's a mild cooling sensation. Despite its thick texture, it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. Throughout the usage period, I didn't experience any blemishes at all. Applying it generously at night makes me feel confident about my skin the next day. The moisturizing effect is so good that I think I'll use it well throughout the winter.
ConsWhile it's not a major issue, the absorption isn't the best for applying all over the face. That might be why it feels so hydrating though.
TipFrom the moment I applied it, my pores felt a bit clogged, and I started sweating immediately during application. I found it worked better when I applied a first layer, waited a bit, and then applied a second layer.

When applied, it sets with a white cast and feels like you're applying oil to your skin. Surprisingly, even though it's hard to apply and very rich, when I wake up the next morning, my skin feels soft and improved for some reason. Because it's oily and difficult to spread, it's a bit burdensome to apply morning and night daily, so I'm only using it every few evenings. Despite its major drawbacks, I can't bring myself to lower the rating because it actually improves my skin...! Also, I really appreciate that it's vegan. The scent is close to fragrance-free, but there's a slight unique aroma that might be hit or miss for some people.
ConsIt's really buttery, so the absorption is truly poor. It feels extremely oily at first. If you sleep with your bangs down, they'll get really greasy! But strangely, when you wake up, your skin feels much softer (not completely matte, but better than when first applied). Because it doesn't absorb well, the skin doesn't take it in easily. Rubbing it in vigorously can also irritate the skin quite a bit.
TipRather than applying the cream directly to your face, it's better to warm it between your hands first and then apply. Putting it straight on your face makes it too greasy. Also, for some reason, it seems to apply a bit better if you leave it on your face for a moment before spreading it.

Its application is completely different from any other cream I've used before. At first, it feels like you're applying a thick, mineral-based sunscreen. Then, interestingly, the moisture and the dense cream seem to separate as you apply it, creating a unique sensation. As I was applying it, I kept wondering if I was doing it correctly. The way the moisture and thick cream separate during application made me question whether it was being evenly distributed across my face. When I tried to apply more to areas that seemed under-covered, or when I used a generous amount initially, I noticed a blemish appear on my forehead. I didn't even attempt to apply makeup over this cream. I could tell it would likely cause pilling if I tried. The application experience leaves much to be desired.
ConsThe moisture and cream separate during application, spreading unevenly. It applies quite thickly, making it difficult to ensure even coverage across the face. The overall application experience is disappointing.

Even the tiniest speck of dust can make me itch, so I can't use just any skincare product. Winter has been especially tough, leaving me struggling with deep dryness that just wouldn't go away. This cream is a game-changer though! It doesn't irritate my blemishes or eczema patches, and when I apply it, it gives me this incredible glow while hydrating my skin. It's like it balances my oil and moisture levels perfectly. Since I started using this eye cream, I wake up with skin that feels comfortable and hydrated. I'd highly recommend this cream for winter use to everyone except those with oily skin.
ConsI got the chance to try this cream, and to be honest, I wasn't expecting much at first because of how it felt when applying. I used my usual routine of toner, serum, then cream, but it was so thick that it was hard to spread evenly over my face.
TipI found a trick though! If you apply a thin layer of your regular moisturizer first and let it absorb, then put this cream on top, it glides on smoothly and absorbs well. I've tried layering it with different serums too, but it works best over a light moisturizer. If you're looking for a subtle Inner Glow before makeup, this could be perfect to apply pre-foundation. Just make sure to use an oil-free sunscreen afterward.

When I woke up in the morning, my skin was gleaming with a dewy glow! Rather than applying it all over, I've been using it as an extra layer on dry areas, and it's working wonders.
ConsThe absorption could be better. Given its thick consistency, it's challenging to control the amount and spread it evenly. When I tried mixing it with a more hydrating emulsion to improve application, it became even harder to apply - what a setback!
TipInstead of applying it all over, I'd recommend dabbing small amounts on dry areas. It seems to effectively address any hydration concerns in those specific spots.

Absorption Although its ultra-rich texture initially surprised me, it surprisingly absorbs without feeling heavy once fully applied! The finish isn't exactly powdery soft, but rather feels like a nourishing cream layer, which is perfect for nighttime use. 2. Fragrance In my opinion, any scent that's not bothersome is good! This one doesn't irritate, so I'm listing it as a positive point! 3. Moisturizing effect It's so nourishing that when I wash my face the next morning after applying it at night, it feels like there's a moisturizing film coating my skin. I love that it doesn't feel unnecessarily oily.
Cons1. Application To be honest, the application isn't great! It's extremely rich. As you can see in the photo, the cream stands firm like stiff meringue peaks. I've also included a picture showing how it doesn't spread easily on the face. Because of this, I recommend patting it in gently after spreading it a bit, rather than rubbing it in, which might cause wrinkles.
TipIn my skincare routine, I apply this cream as a final layer after using a more hydrating moisturizer. This improves its spreadability and works well for me!

Ingredients: No undesirable components! A definite plus Overall review: - As someone with combination dehydrated skin, my skin tends to get even drier in winter. Being in the second trimester of pregnancy, I've noticed my skin feeling even more parched. I'm currently using this cream as the final step in my routine, and it seems to lock in moisture and strengthen the skin barrier. For my combination dehydrated skin, I apply this after a hydrating serum to seal everything in. My routine goes: [Hyaluronic acid serum -> Emulsion -> Ceralabs Intense Repair Cream] both morning and night. In the morning, I use a smaller amount to avoid feeling heavy, while at night I apply a more generous layer. When I touch my face in the morning, it feels wonderfully soft! My deep dryness has significantly improved!
ConsThe aspects I found less appealing were the packaging and how it spreads on the skin. While I'm not a fan of jar packaging, I think it might be necessary due to the thick consistency of the product. On the bright side, because of its rich texture, you don't need to use much product! (This means it lasts longer despite the jar size)
TipA tip for applying the cream effectively is to gently warm it between your hands and then pat it onto your skin. Make sure to use plenty of hydrating products beforehand and finish with this cream! It helps the moisturizing effect last longer.

Worth trying once, recommended for very dry skin. The author won't repurchase. ✅ Clean Packaging Simple, no-frills design. ✅ Moisturizing Not perfect for deep hydration as an all-in-one product. However, good for sealing in moisture after applying a hydrating serum. Less oily than expected. ✅ Finish For a cream targeting very dry skin, the finish is more powdery than sticky. ✅ Gentle Despite having extremely sensitive skin that reacts badly to irritants, this product caused no burning or tingling sensation at all. ✅ Vegan A product that follows current trends. Worth trying if you're interested in vegan skincare.
Cons✅ Price The most disappointing aspect... It's too expensive... ✅ Application/Absorption The absorption is worse than expected. In the last two photos, the first 3 products are my usual ones, and the last is this product. It has a really thick texture. ✅ Blemishes It's a big mistake to apply the same amount as your usual cream. Apply moderately on the nose. I got a huge pimple on my nose wing ㅠㅠ ✅ Jar Packaging Please improve to tube packaging. It's unhygienic as you need to use your fingers or a spatula every time you apply.
TipApply Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence before this cream! (Much more hydrating than Torriden, not recommended for oily skin) If you have very dry skin, Dalba Oil Mist is also good!

But it's packed to the brim without any gaps! I even tapped the container to check for air, but there was no give. So despite the small packaging, the volume is generous. The texture is incredibly rich. Its high density seems to provide excellent hydration after application. The scent might be divisive. It's somewhat herbal yet artificial, reminiscent of Lush's Chamomile body cream. The lingering fragrance isn't overwhelming though - it's barely noticeable. They claim 72-hour moisture retention, and I can confirm the skin stays hydrated well into the next day. Using it morning and night makes my skin feel plump. It seems perfect for dry winter skin!
ConsThe thick consistency is a bit disappointing. While I believe in using rich creams in winter rather than thin ones, this cream doesn't spread easily. It feels even stiffer than toothpaste. It tends to clump when applied to the skin. You need to keep rolling it to spread it out, and it doesn't really melt transparently with body heat. It's frustrating that you need to apply pressure to spread it. And the stickiness is off the charts! As shown in the photo, hair sticks to it that much after application. It becomes less sticky after absorption, but it's by far the stickiest cream I've ever used. Because of this, I'd recommend applying it at night before bed rather than in the morning.
TipMy skin is sensitive and dry, so I usually need to use a generous amount of cream. However, with this one, a little goes a long way. After using it for about a week, here's my tip: Instead of dabbing it on your forehead and cheeks and then spreading, try dotting small amounts all over your face before blending. This makes application much easier. Despite its thick consistency and stickiness, I'd recommend it as a winter night cream. It's non-irritating and seems excellent for skin hydration.
