The packaging is clean and simple, which I really like. The cap closes securely and dispenses just the right amount of product. It's great that there's no overpowering scent - it's almost unscented. The texture applies smoothly and absorbs well. This might work better for those with dry skin who need extra moisture. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I already have some natural oils. When I applied this cream in the morning before makeup, it made my skin look too shiny and felt a bit like it was sitting on top of my skin. Using it at night left my face feeling extremely greasy the next morning. While it might be better for nighttime use, it still wasn't ideal for me. I'm not certain, but after using this cream, I developed large blemishes in various areas. Some reviews mention pore-clogging ingredients, which could be the cause. In any case, due to the blemishes and excessive oiliness, this cream didn't suit my skin. I'd recommend not using this as your main moisturizer. Instead, apply a hydrating product first, then use just a small amount of this cream as a thin final layer. - Hwahae UserOily SkinApr 29, 2025
I used this product from April 16 to April 29, 2025, and here's my review: When I first received it, I noticed from the ingredients that it seemed like a functional hydrating cream. I initially thought it might be a bit heavy as a base before makeup, but surprisingly, when I applied it under my makeup, there was hardly any pilling even after 8 hours. It turned out to be excellent as a pre-makeup base. The texture feels like a perfect blend of hydration and richness, resulting in an incredibly smooth application. Even after applying it to the back of my hand and wiping it once, the hydration remained, leaving my skin soft. For those with dry skin, applying this before bed could leave your face feeling wonderfully soft and moisturized the next morning. I didn't experience any blemishes while using it. It also worked great under makeup, allowing it to adhere well. As someone with extremely oily skin, I got excited when I first received it and applied it generously, which resulted in one small blemish. If you have oily skin, I'd recommend applying a thin layer and adjusting the amount as needed! For my nighttime routine, I apply toner, then serum, followed by cream. However, I personally wouldn't recommend applying this cream generously if you have oily skin. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinApr 29, 2025
I've been using COSRX's Niacinamide Serum with great results, so when I heard they released a barrier cream, I was curious and excited to try it out. 〰 I have extremely oily skin 〰 Which means I'm constantly battling blemishes ❤️ It has a nice texture Applies smoothly. Can't think of any other positives though... 💔 Feels like it's clogging my pores It has that distinctive feeling of an oily film, similar to products containing silicone-based oils. As soon as I applied it, I thought, 'Wait, is this blocking my pores?' I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt since it's a barrier cream, but... 💔 Acne breakouts My fears were confirmed. My skin broke out so badly that my 'before' photo became irrelevant. I developed a wide range of blemishes, from pustules to folliculitis, forcing me to stop using it after just three days. If you don't have dry skin, I'd be wary of using this in summer as it might clog all your pores. I've tucked it away in my product drawer, planning to use it in winter when I need extra hydration. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinApr 25, 2025
Skin type: I have super sensitive skin that often experiences mysterious skin irritations that come and go. My combination skin is dry everywhere except for the nose area and T-zone. Scent and texture: This product is fragrance-free. The texture is like an emulsion - not as thick as a cream, but still maintains its shape. What I liked: 1. It absorbs well. 2. The ingredients are great. 3. Thanks to its good absorption, a little goes a long way for the whole face. 4. I applied this after toner and didn't experience any deep dryness. 5. The ingredients are really good. 6. It seems like it would provide even better hydration during fall and winter. Areas for improvement: 1. I've only changed to this product recently, but I've noticed some minor blemishes that resemble skin irritation. 2. It's a bit too rich, leaving my skin feeling slippery after application. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinApr 23, 2025
When you first squeeze it out, the texture looks refreshing and doesn't drip. It absorbs well and applies thinly and evenly. I like that it's fragrance-free and doesn't cause any tingling or burning sensation. The hydration really lasts a long time. Even with just this applied over a watery essence, I didn't feel any dryness. I only used it twice - on the evening of April 19th and the morning of the 20th. Unfortunately, I developed dermatitis. Small pustular blemishes appeared, and my face became itchy and irritated. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinApr 16, 2025
Before I begin my review, I'd like to thank Hwahae and COSRX for providing me with this product through The Hwahae Testers program. I've never consistently used moisturizers due to the heavy feeling after application and concerns about clogged pores. However, after trying this product, those worries disappeared! The texture isn't too thick or heavy, allowing for a light and thin application while providing solid hydration. It feels moisturizing without being sticky, leaving a fresh finish. There's a sensation of a protective layer on the face, but it doesn't feel suffocating or make me want to wash it off. I've been applying it morning and night, and I'm impressed by its lasting power - it stays on from morning cleanse until evening, and from night application until I wake up. However, as I have rather sensitive skin, I noticed a couple of blemishes appearing on my cheeks after about four days of daily use. I suspect it's because the skin on my cheeks is thinner and more delicate. I found that using it every other day works better for me. I believe this is a high-quality product that can provide hydration even for those with super sensitive skin prone to deep dryness and reactions to harsh ingredients. I'm satisfied with this experience as I've discovered an excellent moisturizer. The COSRX The Ceramide Moisturizer has added a bit more glow to my daily life, and I look forward to continuing to use it! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 16, 2025
My skin is very dry on the inside with oily patches on the surface. I used this product for about 5 days after receiving it, but unfortunately it didn't suit me, so I couldn't continue using it. However, based on the few days I did use it, I can say that it absorbs well, just like other reviewers mentioned. It's easy to apply and feels smooth on the skin. I think it would be great for oily or combination dehydrated skin types during winter! The first day was fine, but the next morning I noticed a lot of excess oil on my skin. After using it both morning and evening, I started getting mosquito-bite-like bumps and really struggled with that. I think this might be more suitable for dry skin types, or perhaps it's best to apply only on dry areas. I was excited to be chosen for The Hwahae Testers, but since I have super sensitive skin, it's a bit disappointing. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinApr 15, 2025
I've been using COSRX's Skin Barrier product exclusively before bed for 7 days. As a mid-20s woman with combination dehydrated skin, here's what I loved: The cream has a perfect consistency - neither too runny nor too thick. I was really impressed by how well it absorbs into the skin. It doesn't feel sticky at all, nor does it sit on top of the skin. Even when I woke up the next morning, I didn't feel any dryness, which shows it really lives up to its name. As someone with dry skin, I could really feel the long-lasting hydration. I'm very satisfied with this product. For some reason, I noticed blemishes appearing the day after use. Perhaps there's an ingredient that doesn't agree with my skin? This is the most effective moisturizer I've used so far in terms of hydration. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 13, 2025
Maybe it's because of spring, but I was experiencing some deep dryness. Luckily, I won The Hwahae Testers selection and got to try this product. As you can see in the photo, with zero retouching, my skin condition is sensitive with rosacea, showing various signs of aging. If a cosmetic doesn't suit me, my skin texture becomes very uneven. Applying this product, it feels incredibly moisturizing and tackles that deep dryness! The hydration lasts until I wash my face - it definitely creates a moisture barrier! In the after-application photo, my skin looks a bit red because I just cleansed and my skin is sensitive, but there's an Inner Glow and it feels comfortable. Compared to other brands' moisturizers, it doesn't have that sticky richness or cause tiny bumps or texture issues. Unless you have extremely sensitive or very dry skin, I recommend this for a hydrating experience. I applied it around my eyes (avoiding direct contact), but perhaps due to the protective barrier, it ran into my eyes causing discomfort. After a week of use, when applied in the morning, I felt a slight itching in the afternoon. While it didn't cause tiny bumps, there was a slight redness. After 5 days, a small red blemish appeared. Blemishes can vary with overall condition, so I'm not sure if it's related to the product. When it itched, washing my face and applying a different product helped. It seems the moisture barrier doesn't quite agree with my skin. It's very hydrating and gives a glow, so on dry days, using it as a base before makeup helped my makeup apply smoothly.
