Absorbs like a dream First off, this product absorbs beautifully! The texture is incredibly lightweight and glides on effortlessly. Perfect for combination skin / Absorbs well I have combination skin - my cheeks and eye area are desperately dry, while my nose and chin tend to be oily and prone to blemishes. This contrast becomes even more pronounced in summer, making it challenging to find a product that works for my entire face without being too sticky or too drying. However, this cream is a game-changer. It absorbs quickly all over my face without any stickiness. It keeps my dry cheeks hydrated without feeling tight, addresses deep dryness, and provides just the right amount of moisture to my oily areas without making them greasy. I think I'll be repurchasing this for a long time to come! Gentle fragrance As someone with a sensitive nose, I'm often put off by strong scents. Thankfully, this product has a very subtle fragrance that doesn't cause any discomfort during use!

I haven't experienced any particular issues with this product! There are no concerns regarding how it feels, potential for blemishes, or reasons not to recommend it.

I'm absolutely thrilled with this product! It's gentle, moisturizing, and the hydration lasts for a long time. This moisturizer is so effective that even when applied at night, your skin doesn't feel dry in the morning. Instead of being a heavy, oily cream, it's a bouncy, gel-like moisturizer packed with hydration. It's lightweight and moisturizing, yet it provides definite hydration. While it might be slightly dry for winter use, it's perfect for the current weather. Its lightweight texture makes it great for reapplication.

There's nothing to dislike. It's incredibly gentle and moisturizing. It's perfect for the current season.

It's light and non-greasy, yet it replenishes moisture well, making it great for frequent reapplication. I also love applying it as a thin layer over my usual serums and creams, like a sleeping pack. It significantly boosts hydration this way.

Texture True to its nature as a hydrating cream, it instantly quenches your skin's thirst with a lightweight yet slightly rich feel. The finish is delightfully plump, which helps it stay put better than other moisturizers! Ingredients As someone with super sensitive skin who's been dealing with texture and flare-ups around the nose area lately, I found this cream to be a godsend. Applying it before bed resulted in noticeably calmer skin and no new blemishes! Hydration and Soothing I saw even better results when I applied a generous layer at night - it not only hydrated but also helped soothe any existing blemishes. Unlike other moisturizers that left my skin feeling parched by morning, this one kept my skin feeling comfortably hydrated throughout the night!

Fragrance As someone who prefers skincare products with minimal scent, I found the somewhat artificial and strong fragrance of this moisturizer a bit off-putting. Cooling Effect While most hydrating creams offer a refreshing cooling sensation, this one falls short in that department. It's just... average in that respect.

Overall, I'd say this is a decent, middle-of-the-road moisturizer. It's suitable for those with sensitive skin, but with so many great options on the market these days, it doesn't particularly stand out. That said, the generous tube packaging is a plus. I'd recommend it for those looking for a reliable, no-frills hydrating cream for everyday use!

As summer approaches, I was on the hunt for a lightweight final-step cream and decided to apply for The Hwahae Testers program. I'm happy to report that this product is an all-around satisfying choice for my dry and super sensitive skin! The ingredients are gentle, and there's nothing particularly harmful in the mix. It boasts hyaluronic acid, a proprietary ceramide, Houttuynia cordata, PDRN, natural oils, and moisture barrier components. While I'm no expert on ingredient lists, the product description ticks all the boxes I was looking for. Their unique "Hyalceramide" is a new term for me - I couldn't spot it in the ingredient list, but I'm willing to trust that it's in there! The texture offers a lovely balance of hydration and moisture barrier protection. It's a watery, transparent cream that's neither thick nor heavy. The feel is refreshingly moisturizing and light, with a final touch that seems to seal in the hydration. It's like a hydrating cream with medium moisture barrier properties - not just a basic hydrating cream, but not an ultra-rich one either. It hits that sweet spot right in the middle. The scent is a subtle, cool fragrance - perhaps a hint of cucumber or fresh greens? As someone who prefers unscented products, I find this mild aroma quite acceptable. However, I've noticed some reviews from those who aren't fans of the fragrance. The packaging looks refreshingly attractive and feels durable. At 70ml, it's compact enough to be a great portable option for on-the-go hydration.

The only downside for me is that the price point is a bit higher than I'd prefer. The regular price is 25,000 won, though you can get it for about 17,000 won per item with a 1+1 deal. Given the 70ml size, which I estimate would last about two months, it feels a tad expensive. I'd be more comfortable with a price around 12,000 won, but that's just from a consumer's perspective. I understand the higher cost likely reflects the quality ingredients. All in all, while I love the product, the price gives me a bit of pause.

Reading through reviews, it seems the hydration + moisture barrier cream concept is somewhat divisive. Those seeking pure hydration or dry-skinned individuals looking for a finishing cream after their hydrating step might find it slightly disappointing. For me, however, it's exactly what I was looking for, so I'm extremely satisfied. - I'd recommend this to anyone wanting just one cream for summer. It has a good balance of hydration and emollience, so it could work well as a standalone product. - This cream is perfect for those seeking a middle ground - neither a purely hydrating cream nor a heavy, rich moisturizer, but something comfortably in between.

저는 민감 건성피부라, 새로운 제품을 쓸 때 항상 트러블이 나거나 자극이 느껴질까 걱정이 많았는데, 이 크림을 사용하면서 트러블이 전혀 나지 않았고, 자극감도 느껴지지 않아서 민감한 피부에도 잘 맞는 제품인거 같아서 마음 놓고 사용할 수 있었어용 크림의 제형은 ‘워터리’라는 이름답게 가볍고 촉촉한 느낌이지만, 단순히 수분감만 있는 게 아니라 약간의 보습감도 함께 느껴졌어요. 그렇다고 해서 무겁거나 답답한 느낌은 없었고, 오히려 산뜻하게 마무리되는 편이라 여름철 데일리 크림으로 딱 좋겠다는 생각이 들었답니다. 다만 보습감이 오래 지속되지는 않는 편이라, 그냥 이 크림 하나만 단독으로 사용하기보다는 스킨, 에센스 등 다른 기본 스킨케어 단계를 모두 마친 후 마무리로 사용하는 게 더 효과적일 것 같아요. 발림성도 좋아서 피부에 부드럽게 펴 발리고 흡수도 빨라서 사용감이 좋았어요. 향은 아주 은은하고 강하지 않아서 향에 예민한 분들도 부담 없이 쓸 수 있을 것 같아요. 또 바른 후에는 약간의 쿨링감이 느껴져서 피부가 상쾌해지는 느낌이 들었고, 이 점도 여름철에 쓰기 좋은 포인트였어요. 무겁지 않은 제형과 적당한 보습, 산뜻한 마무리감 덕분에 더운 날씨에도 답답함 없이 사용할 수 있겠다는 생각이 들었습니다. 저는 피부장벽이 좀 무너져 있는 편이라 피부에 좋다는 성분이 들어간 화장품을 사용해도 쉽게 자극받고 오히려 트러블이 올라오곤 했는데 그런게 없어서 가장 좋았던거 같아요!

사용하면서 크게 아쉬운 점은 없었어요!, 다만 저는 건성 피부라 이것만 쓰기에는 좀 아쉬운 느낌이 있어서 다른 제품이랑 같이 사용했어요 이것만으로 케어를 모두 끝내길 바라는건 어려울거같아요

"A well-balanced hydrating and moisturizing cream, ideal for combination to oily skin types, with a 40:60 ratio of hydration to moisture" I have combination to oily skin with concerns about enlarged pores and small blemishes. -Leaves a refreshing finish The lightweight finish makes it perfect for those with combination or oily skin. However, for those who find water creams too light, this product offers a great balance of hydration and moisture. It applies with a matte, almost coating-like texture that absorbs quickly. I found it particularly convenient when I'm in a rush before applying makeup. -Doesn't trigger blemishes Although I'm usually sensitive to Houttuynia Cordata extract, which is included in this product, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't cause any irritation or breakouts. -Recommended when a water cream alone isn't enough As someone with combination-oily skin who typically prefers water creams, I found this product great for those times when you feel like your skin needs a bit more than just hydration. It provides that slight hint of richness and moisture that's sometimes necessary. The texture feels more like a matte-finish moisturizer than a pure water cream, but it's not greasy and absorbs quickly. It's a great choice when you're not sure if you need more hydration or moisture - this cream seems to satisfy both needs adequately. -User-friendly cap packaging The cap design makes it easy to control the amount of product and convenient for storage.

-An ambiguous product between a water cream and moisturizer Based on the packaging, I expected a highly hydrating water cream, but it turned out to be a thicker hydrating and moisturizing hybrid. It might not provide enough hydration for those seeking a water cream, while those looking for deep moisture might find it absorbs too quickly and feels dry. -Not recommended for dry skin types The fast-absorbing formula might feel drying for those with dry skin. Even for combination skin, if you haven't properly hydrated in your previous skincare steps, this product alone might not be enough to prevent dryness.

When choosing a moisturizer, it's important to consider your skin type and specific needs. This product seems to work best for those with combination to oily skin who are looking for a balance between hydration and moisture without feeling heavy or greasy. If you have particularly dry or dehydrated skin, you might want to layer this with other hydrating products or look for a richer cream. Remember, everyone's skin is unique, so what works for one person may not work for another. It's always a good idea to patch test new products and give your skin time to adjust.

It has a refreshing scent reminiscent of a hydrating moisturizer. When applied, it feels cool on the skin. This is likely due to the Houttuynia cordata and PDRN ingredients. This moisturizer is perfect for lightly replenishing hydration as the weather gets warmer! It also absorbs quite quickly into the skin.

I used it daily for about ten days to write this review, and during that time, I developed some small blemishes. I gave it to my mom, and she didn't have any issues, so it seems my skin just doesn't agree with it...

For my combination dehydrated skin in this weather, I applied this moisturizer right after double cleansing with a clay mask. While it couldn't completely prevent oil production, at least I didn't experience any deep dryness. However, since it caused blemishes on my skin, I probably won't repurchase it.

As summer approaches, I felt my usual cream was getting a bit heavy, so I decided to try out this lighter option through The Hwahae Testers program! My skin type: Sensitive, dry, with acne-prone chin area (polycystic) 1. A soothing formula that's perfect for summer use. Even if you have dry skin, summer brings sweat and oil, so it's better to opt for a lighter product rather than a heavy cream. This one is ideal for dry skin in the summer months. (Note: Those with extremely dry skin might still find it a bit drying.) It's a water-based formula with much more hydration than oil content. In terms of texture, I'd say it goes from lightest to heaviest like this: [Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Cream < Real Barrier < Estée Lauder Hydrating Cream] 2. Tube packaging As someone who really dislikes jar packaging, I love that this moisturizer comes in a tube. 3. Contains PDRN Many regular moisturizers don't include PDRN, but this one does at a reasonable price point, making it great for those wanting to try PDRN products. 4. Non-irritating formula! Perhaps the most crucial point is that it doesn't cause any irritation! My skin is super sensitive and often turns red and feels hot when I use the wrong product, but this one is incredibly gentle. You can feel how soothing it is the moment you apply it. There's not much to dislike about this product, so I'd recommend it for: 1. Those with dry skin who find their usual cream too heavy for summer 2. Anyone looking for an affordable PDRN-infused product 3. People with oily skin types, as it's more hydrating than oily Not recommended for: 1. Those with extremely dry skin, as it might not provide enough moisture

1. Might not be moisturizing enough for dry skin in winter This shouldn't be a major issue since most people with dry skin likely have a separate winter cream. 2. The scent I didn't notice it at first, but after using it for a few days, I detected a subtle, peculiar smell. It didn't bother me, but those sensitive to fragrances might want to avoid it.

Overall, this cream works hard to provide a great balance of hydration without feeling heavy, making it an excellent choice for combination dehydrated skin types looking for a summer moisturizer. Its soothing properties are perfect for those with super sensitive skin, helping to calm any redness or irritation. The inclusion of PDRN at this price point is a bonus for those interested in anti-aging benefits. Just remember, if you're prone to deep dryness, you might need to layer this with other hydrating products or switch to a richer cream in colder months.

1. The skin-soothing effect was undeniable At first application, I felt a slight cooling sensation, but after a few days of use, I realized it wasn't just my imagination. Redness and itching noticeably subsided, and I could use it comfortably without any irritation. I think it's thanks to ingredients like Houttuynia Cordata and PDRN. 2. The texture is lightweight and absorbs well The cream has an incredibly fresh gel-like consistency that wasn't heavy at all, and it worked particularly well on my oily T-zone without causing any blemishes. It's not sticky and absorbs quickly, making it perfect for both morning and evening use. 3. The hydration lasted quite well My skin tends to feel tight and dry easily, but with this product, the moisturized feeling lasted for quite a while. It felt like my skin had an extra layer of hydration, keeping it comfortable, and even my makeup seemed to go on more smoothly the next day.

1. It might not be enough on its own for extremely dry days While the basic hydration was good, I felt it might be slightly insufficient when used alone if your skin is very dry or your skin barrier is significantly damaged. In such cases, you might want to pair it with an oil or a more intensely hydrating product. 2. Those with super sensitive skin might need to check the ingredients While it worked well for me overall, not all skin types react the same way to Houttuynia Cordata and other soothing ingredients. If you have particularly sensitive skin, I recommend doing a patch test first.

Try applying a thick layer of the cream and then using a sheet mask or gel mask over it. Your skin will feel plump and firm the next day.

볼부분은 사계절 내내 건조한 복합성 피부이고 수시로 뒤집어지는 예민한 피부입니다! ☁️제형과 발림성 유분기 없는 수분감 가득한 젤타입의 크림이고 가볍고 산뜻하게 발리는 편이에요. 무거운 크림이 아니라서 여름에도 사용하기 좋고 건성인 분들은 여름제외한 계절엔 건조하게 느껴질 수 있을 것 같아요. 아침에 바를 땐 양조절을 잘 해줘야 할 것 같고 저는 아침에 수분 앰플 바른 뒤에 이거 소량 발라주고 쿠션바르는데 화장이 촉촉하고 매끈하게 잘 먹어요 ☁️향 얼굴에 바르는 제품은 향이 나는걸 별로 안좋아해서 평소 무향인 제품들을 잘 쓰고 있어요. 이건 약간 풀 향이 은은하게 나는데 향이 강하지 않아서 크게 부담스럽지 않았어요. 바르고 나면 향이 금방 날아가서 괜찮더라구요 ☁️속건조와 진정 평소에 볼쪽은 사계절 내내 건조하고 촉촉하게 화장해도 밖에 나가서 활동하다보면 볼쪽이 땡기고 속건조가 많이 느껴지더라구요. 그런데 이건 속건조를 꽤 잘 잡아주는 것 같아요. 피부가 뒤집어졌을 때 다른 리얼베리어 크림을 만족하면서 잘 썼는데 이거도 피부가 붉어졌을 때나 울긋불긋하게 뭐가 올라오려고 할 때 발라주면 진정이 잘 돼요. 젤크림 잘못 쓰면 피부가 간지럽고 불편한데 이건 피부도 편안하고 진정효과가 좋아서 잘 쓰고 있어요

바르고 건조한 부분은 한두번 더 레이어드해서 발라주기도 좋은데 다만 양조절을 잘해줘야 해요. 양을 많이 바르면 때처럼 밀리기 때문에 특히 아침에 바를거면 소량으로 발라야 좋더라구요

수분크림도 아침에 바를 땐 미스트나 물먹은 스펀지로 발라주고 있어요. 좀 더 쿨링감있게 잘 발리고 화장이 더 잘 먹어요
