Even when I woke up in the morning, my skin still felt quite moisturized. It applies with a rich texture and absorbs well. I typically have skin that easily becomes hot, even when it's not summer, but the Essenherb Tea Tree Cream is said to help reduce skin temperature as a soothing cream. No wonder I felt a noticeable decrease in that flushed, overheated sensation every time I used it.
ConsThe hydration doesn't evaporate quickly, and it keeps the skin moisturized. I can't think of any downsides.
TipDue to its high moisture content, it's suitable to apply before makeup. Even those with dry skin might find it usable in summer. At night, I've found that applying a thicker double layer like a mask and sleeping with it on keeps the skin hydrated.

It's on the lighter side, but still has a nice bouncy texture. It's perfect for everyday use without feeling heavy.
ConsPersonally, I think a product with more hydration and richness might suit me better. It doesn't seem to keep my skin moisturized for very long. This would probably work well for oily, acne-prone skin types.

While I'm not entirely sure if it's because something wasn't working for me before or if this product is just that good, I haven't had any blemishes pop up since I began using it. I definitely plan to repurchase. I think I'll be using this product frequently from now on. I love how my skin feels firm and supple right after application. The scent is pleasant too.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly negative to mention. The quantity might be slightly less compared to other products, but I still think I'll be purchasing it often.
TipInstead of layering multiple products like toner, pads, ampoules, and spot treatments, I'm just using this one product alone.

The scent isn't overpowering either. It's great for hydrating areas prone to redness without causing irritation. I expected a light finish, but it actually leaves the skin feeling pleasantly firm. When my skin feels hot or particularly flushed, I apply it like a mask before bed. It helps calm redness and doesn't cause any irritation, which I really appreciate.
ConsBecause of its firming finish, you need to allow plenty of time for it to absorb before applying makeup. Otherwise, you might experience some pilling.

Regarding the scent and texture: Instead of the typical tea tree cream scent, it has a more pleasant cosmetic fragrance. I'm not sure if this was intentional due to the divisive nature of tea tree scents, but I found it okay! The texture feels like a hydration-packed cream with a touch of richness. It doesn't absorb quickly, leaving a long-lasting bouncy feel, and it seems to create a good base for makeup. For soothing properties: This is the ultimate calming cream for sensitive, blemish-prone skin that reacts to everything! The hydration is incredible, and it doesn't evaporate quickly, locking moisture in for a long time. My skin doesn't feel tight afterwards. It seems to be a cream that easily balances oil and moisture levels.
ConsPackaging: These pot-type products are difficult to use up completely and can be challenging to keep hygienic. I never used the spatula because it's always a hassle to clean! It might be nice if it came in a tube or pump-type emulsion in the future. Richness: While the formula locks in moisture for a long time, for someone like me with many blemishes, spot treatment is essential. Usually, people apply spot treatments after cream, but this cream can sometimes pill if you try to apply spot treatments immediately after, which can be a bit inconvenient. Overall assessment: It seems more suitable for dry skin types with lots of closed comedones and in need of soothing, rather than for skin with many pustular/inflammatory acne. But of course, everyone's experience may vary!

The texture feels like a jiggly pudding, but when you apply it to your skin, it's surprisingly firm. As you spread it on your face, your skin just drinks it up. My skin has been particularly dry lately, so I'm not sure if that's why, but that's how it feels. After applying and patting it in, you might think it's a bit sticky, but I have a solution for that (I'll share a tip below, though it's nothing groundbreaking). That sticky feeling disappears quickly, so even though I usually can't handle sticky products, I'm using this one with no problems.
ConsJust one thing!!! There's nowhere to put that little cream scoop... And isn't the concave part of the scoop supposed to be used? Personally, I find it more hygienic to use the back of the scoop instead of the concave part, as it leaves no residue. I learned from other reviews that some people find the tea tree ingredient irritating. As someone who likes tea tree and centella products, I only felt a cooling sensation. Also, I must be drier than I thought because even after applying a generous amount, I felt dry again after a few hours. But I found a good combination that solved this, so no complaints here.
TipTo reduce stickiness and maintain hydration for those who still feel dry, try this combination: as a final step, apply a tiny bit of coconut oil. It creates a sort of coating that helps prevent moisture loss. I used to be scared of using oils on my face, thinking they'd be too heavy, but wow, it's nice. If you're like me and nervous about using oils, just warm a tiny amount in your palms and gently pat it on your face. If even that feels too much, you can spread a small amount of oil all over your hands and then cup your face with your hands. That's all for now!

While my skin tends to get red when irritated, it's not overly sensitive to the point of reacting badly to every cosmetic product. This cream comes in a jar, unlike many tube-type products these days. It includes a hygienic tool to scoop out the cream without touching it directly - a nice touch! The texture of this cream is incredibly rich yet spreads smoothly, which I absolutely loved. It doesn't evaporate quickly or leave my skin feeling dry. Instead, it feels like it forms a thin protective layer on the skin. It's almost like a gel-cream hybrid? This keeps my skin hydrated for a long time, which I found very satisfying. Compared to the popular Dr.G Red Blemish Cream, this Essenherb cream has a heavier, softer texture, while Dr.G's is more hydrating and fresh. I actually liked the weightier feel of this one - it reminded me a bit of an ointment, in a good way! I also loved using this as a sleeping pack, applying a generous amount before bed when my skin felt hot or irritated. The next morning, my skin would feel soothed and comfortable. When I washed my face, my skin felt smooth and soft. The tea tree ingredient seems to really help with calming the skin - I could definitely feel the soothing effect! The fresh herbal scent was also very pleasant. Overall, I'm very satisfied with how it feels and performs.
ConsThe amount seems a bit small for the price. It would be nice if they also offered it in a tube format.
TipMake sure to keep it in the refrigerator and use it cool! The richness of the cream feels completely different when chilled!

It applies lightly and leaves a pleasantly firm finish on the skin. I'm prone to small blemishes, but this cream truly calms them down in just one day! It really lives up to its role as a tea tree soothing cream, so I highly recommend it for acne-prone skin. Sometimes even creams that worked well before can suddenly disagree with your skin, but this one consistently suits me without any issues. I recommend it as a cream you can use all year round! As someone who wears a lot of makeup, it's crucial that my skincare doesn't cause pilling. After applying toner, I layer this cream thinly about 3 times, and it adheres perfectly to my skin! If you're like me, prone to blemishes but looking for a hydrating product
ConsIf used alone, it might feel a bit dry, so you should either layer it multiple times or use it alongside other moisturizing products!
TipWhen you have a blemish, try applying a thick layer of this cream like a soothing mask before bed. You'll wake up to calmer, smoother skin!

After applying this cream, I noticed they seemed to calm down a bit. While it might not be enough as a final step for my very dry skin, it works well as a second layer in my routine. I think it would be perfect for summer use!
ConsOverall, there wasn't anything particularly disappointing about the product. Personally, I prefer unscented products, so the fragrance was a slight drawback for me. However, it has that familiar tea tree scent that most people are used to, so I think the majority of users won't mind it. Even I'm using it without much issue.
