It started around my eyes and mouth, then spread all over my face, leaving it bumpy and irritated. Eventually, it turned into countless tiny blemishes. At that time, I was doing a skincare diet and only applied this product. Though the effect doesn't last long, its subtle cooling sensation helped soothe the itchiness. It was so gentle that I kept reapplying it without any irritation. Now my skin has calmed down a bit. I highly recommend this mild product for combination dehydrated skin!
ConsThe only downside is that it comes in a jar. Day 1 of hoping for a tube version...

Even though I have oily skin, it doesn't make my face excessively greasy. It has a cooling effect that really helps calm my skin. The absorption is fantastic - within minutes, I can feel it soothing my skin effectively.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing about the product. As a student, the price was a bit of a burden for me. Nevertheless, I still recommend these toner pads.

After showering, I just pat my face dry, apply the Bakuchiol serum and cream. This might be enough for some people, but I'm an extremely dry human being! So, I follow up with this Tea Tree Soothing Cream. The cooling effect kicks in at just the right moment. I absolutely adore the herbal scent - I'm a huge fan of natural ingredient fragrances in cosmetics. It's not too thick, more like applying aloe vera, and absorbs quickly. Once I'm dressed, I layer on some ampoule, seal it with a ceramide cream, wait a bit, and finish off with a panthenol cream. For someone like me who takes their sweet time with a multi-step routine after showering, having this herb cream in the middle for a calming effect is incredibly satisfying. It's like getting aromatherapy - must be the herbs! I'm in love with this product, please give me more!
ConsThe only downside is the packaging, which is a bit inconvenient. I wish it was in a squeeze tube for easier use.
TipI saw someone mention mixing it with an emulsion - oh, that's a great idea! It blends well, nice!

While using them doesn't cause blemishes, I don't typically see any skin improvements either. So, I decided to try this product together with my boyfriend who has oily, acne-prone skin! First off, the texture feels like a gel cream, which is great for summer use, and it has a cooling effect. Sometimes I get redness on my forehead, and the cooling and soothing properties helped calm it down to some extent. When my boyfriend with oily skin used it, he said it felt light and refreshing, making it suitable for year-round use. While this product alone won't make acne disappear, he thought it would work well in synergy with spot treatment products.
ConsRather than pointing out downsides, I'd say I wouldn't strongly recommend this for those without acne-prone skin. It's best suited for people with oily, acne-prone skin who are looking for a soothing cream.

The absorption was smooth and spread well, though it didn't feel completely lightweight. It had a slightly thick, elastic texture. After applying, it felt like there was a thin, smooth layer on my skin, but it wasn't suffocating. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, regardless of what I apply, oil tends to surface after a while. However, when I used oil blotting paper at that point, it left a nice elastic yet matte finish. The hydration was decent, and I didn't particularly notice any deep dryness!
ConsThe downside is definitely the inconvenient packaging. You have to twist open the lid, remove the cover, and use a spatula to scoop it onto the back of your hand or directly with your fingers, which is both cumbersome and feels unhygienic. I'm also unsure if it's okay for the product to be constantly exposed to air. Meanwhile, the spatula doesn't fit between the cover and the lid, so I ended up just placing it on top of the lid after pondering where to put it. I wish it would change to a tube format! There's a noticeable scent, so those sensitive to fragrances might have mixed feelings about it. Personally, I enjoy this tea tree or herbal scent, so it was fine for me!

My whole body tends to get even drier when the weather changes suddenly or on windy days. First impressions: - Great hydration - Cooling effect that reduces skin temperature - Calms the face Personally, I found the texture to be somewhat thick initially, like it was covering my skin. But gradually, it maintained a firm, hydrating feel. I also noticed it helped cool down my face. The cooling effect kicked in between 2-5 minutes after application, which was perfect for someone like me who tends to have warm skin. Although it felt a bit thick at first, the lasting moisturizing effect makes it worthwhile for me.
ConsInitially, I thought the somewhat thick application might trap my skin - but the lasting hydration prevents dryness, which I really appreciate.

The gel-cream texture is lightweight, making it perfect for layering without feeling heavy or sticky. Upon application, you can feel the hydration with a slight cooling effect. It's low in oils, leaving a fresh finish without greasiness, while keeping the skin moisturized throughout the day. There's a subtle tea tree scent, which I find pleasant. Despite having sensitive skin, I experienced no irritation - it felt very comfortable to use. The real magic happened around day 3 when I noticed a significant improvement in my closed comedones! They started shrinking in size, and the redness decreased. I was thrilled to see such quick results. This cream strikes a great balance of keeping the skin hydrated inside while maintaining a fresh exterior, making it ideal for oily or combination dehydrated skin. If you're dealing with closed comedones, I highly recommend giving the Essen Herb Cream a try!
ConsThe only downside for me is the jar packaging - I personally prefer tubes for creams. Also, those with very dry skin might find it not quite moisturizing enough.
TipFor best results, try layering the cream twice instead of just once. I saw this tip on YouTube and have been using it this way ever since - it really amplifies the effectiveness!

I also enjoyed the cooling effect that you can feel right after applying it. It even helped improve my redness issues.
ConsIf you don't get along with tea tree, it's probably best to avoid this. It might not be ideal to use before makeup as there's a tendency for base products to pill. I'd recommend using it at night instead.
TipIt comes with a spoon-like applicator, but I found using my hands more convenient. After using this, I noticed an improvement in my skin texture and small blemishes. Here's a bit of extra info: I actually stopped using it for a day when I got something around my mouth, but then I remembered that tea tree products had worked well for me before. So I started using it again, and as I continued, I realized it wasn't causing the issue, which was a relief. To sum up: 1. You can feel a cooling effect and it helps with redness. 2. Not recommended for those who don't tolerate tea tree well. 3. Hands are more convenient than the provided applicator. Thanks for reading my lengthy review.

I can see why it's the #1 cream at Olive Young! After a few days of use, while there weren't any dramatic or immediately noticeable changes, I found that my redness was significantly reduced. My complexion looked clearer, and even my oily T-zone felt cleaner. Soothing ✓ Cooling ✓ Adequate hydration ✓ ➡️Texture: It has a thick consistency but doesn't feel heavy or overly rich. (It absorbs well without any stickiness, leaving skin feeling moisturized) ✓Great for blemish care ✓Especially essential for soothing on sensitive days, as I tend to experience more heat during my menstrual cycle!
ConsIt would be great if it came in a squeezable tube format! That's really the only thing I can think of to improve.
TipWhen used together with a ceramide ampoule, it makes dry, flaky skin look plump and healthy.

Subtle cooling effect 2. Excellent absorption First off, when you apply it to your face, there's a gentle cooling sensation. It feels amazing, like it's bringing down any heat or inflammation. The texture is a bit heavier than your typical hydrating gel cream. When you spread it, rather than feeling like a watery splash, it's more like laying down a thick layer of moisture. What's surprising is that despite this rich feeling, once it absorbs into the skin, it leaves your face incredibly soft and velvety - which is absolutely fantastic!
ConsFirstly, with so many tube-packaged products these days, I found this one a bit inconvenient to use. Also, it seems my skin might not be completely compatible with it. The day after using it, I noticed one or two small blemishes pop up. I'm not sure if this was due to my skin being in poor condition at the time, so I'll need to keep an eye on it for a while longer.
TipI don't have any specific tips, but I found that since this formula doesn't absorb super quickly, it's lovely to gently massage it into the skin. This gives a nice, relaxing feel! It might be a bit rich for summer, but I think it would be perfect for combination dehydrated skin in winter!
