I was applying it really thickly and generously at first. After about a week, I had used up more than half the jar. Now that my skin has recovered a lot, I'm using less than before. But just looking at the 60g size, it doesn't seem like a huge amount. However, the price of 16,000 won is quite reasonable, especially compared to most creams these days that cost 20,000-30,000 won. Plus, it hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts on my sensitive skin, and it's been really soothing, so I'm extremely satisfied with it. I've been using it for about a month now, and as my skin has recovered even more, I've been mixing this cream with a lotion. The lotion is the Sidmool Calendula Moisture Veil, and I've been adding a few drops of oil to it. The lotion alone didn't have enough moisturizing power for me in the winter. I shake them together to mix about 60 drops of oil into the lotion. Then I apply the lotion and this cream in a 1:1 ratio. My nighttime routine is: Ample:N Houttuynia Cordata Serum > Sidmool Eco-Soothing Essence + 1 drop of Hemp Seed Oil > Sidmool Calendula Moisture Veil > 1:1 mix of Calendula Moisture Veil and this Eco-Soothing Cream. Doing this, my face stays dewy and plump until morning, even after cleansing. I plan to stick with this cream for the whole winter, from November to February. I'll probably repurchase it when I run out, because I don't want to go through the hassle of finding a new cream and worrying about it not agreeing with my skin.
Cons
There are no instructions to apply any synonyms in this text. The original Korean text does not contain the term '꼼평단', so no synonym replacement is necessary. I have simply translated the Korean text to English without any additional modifications.
Tip
If it's not moisturizing enough, you can add some oil. Mixing it with a compatible lotion that works well for you is also a good idea.

This was a product I used well during the most sensitive period when my skin felt too tight and painful after washing my face. It definitely helped strengthen the skin barrier, so I switched to a more moisturizing cream after my skin recovered.
Cons
The fragrance and feel weren't bad, but it wasn't the refreshing feel I prefer.
Tip
Acne seems to be caused by unhealthy skin. This product didn't completely clear up my acne, but it played a good role in restoring my damaged skin barrier. After switching to a cream more comfortable for my skin, I now only get acne in special situations or during certain seasons.

My skin has been calm. Depending on my skin's condition each day, I use one of the following ampoules - propolis, astaxanthin, vitamin C, or retinol. These ingredients blend well with the cream. Using multiple active ingredients doesn't overload my skin. Especially in the morning, applying the astaxanthin ampoule and this ceramide cream gives me the perfect amount of glow and radiance. People often ask me what products I'm using. As someone with oily skin, I was surprised that the glow from this combination is different from an oily shine - it's a beautiful, healthy glow. When I travel and need to pack light, I only bring a mist (for hydration, as I need to spritz it frequently on planes or in air-conditioned environments), the ceramide cream, and sunscreen. Aside from the lack of intense hydration, this cream is perfect. Don't confuse this with the 'Hwahae Dr. Troub Ceramide Adhesive Cream'. The adhesive cream didn't work well for my skin. It was released later, claiming to increase hydration and reduce oil, but it immediately caused 3 cystic pimples on my previously improved skin. I considered giving it more time, but I didn't want to take the risk and just went back to the Eco Soothing Ceramide.
Cons
Drawback 1. Lack of hydration. Oil content is moderate. If I had to point out drawbacks, it would be the lack of silicone oils, which makes the application and absorption a bit slower. And the scent is quite strange. While this is not a hydrating cream, the lack of hydration is still quite noticeable. I need to ensure sufficient hydration in the previous steps of my routine. At first application, there is a slight oily feel, but it gets absorbed fairly quickly, and the oiliness isn't excessive. Since I don't like the hassle of patting in creams, I just apply it as the final step of my routine. It gets fully absorbed within 5 minutes in winter and 10 minutes in summer. The transition of my skin from oily to normal is largely due to the benefits of this ceramide cream, not just aging. The scent is quite peculiar. The ingredient list shows all kinds of plant extracts, but instead of a subtle floral or herbal fragrance, there's a strange, almost savory aroma, like roasted soybeans. It's not a pleasant, sweet soy scent, but a rather unusual one. Luckily, the fragrance is not overpowering, so I can tolerate it. The scent does seem to have become a bit less intense over time, but it could just be that I've gotten used to it.
Tip
Routine: Cleanse -> Mist (add an extra mist if skin feels dry) -> Ampoule -> *Mist* -> Ceramide Cream (mix in 1-5 drops of jojoba oil, exclude oil in summer) -> Sunscreen in the morning Applying the ampoule and then the *mist* (for hydration) is a key step. The mist should not be fully absorbed before applying the cream - leaving a slight dampness helps the cream spread more easily. The cream's thick texture also applies better with a bit of moisture. Don't be fooled by the poor spreadability and slow absorption. You shouldn't apply too much. Putting on a large amount at once will only slow down the absorption further. The right amount leaves your skin's oil-moisture balance just right - applying too much will cause your skin to overproduce oil. This is especially important when applying multiple layers. Generally, I use an amount the size of a small bean, and reduce the quantity even more when doing multiple applications.

This is a product I always use. I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, and when I apply this cream, it soothes my skin.
Cons
I apply a lot of it, but I'm disappointed that it leaves a whitish cast. It also has a bit too much oil, so it can feel heavy in the summer.

This is the second product of the Sidmool brand that I used during the extremely sensitive and dry skin period. (For those with extremely sensitive skin > Please be sure to read the useful tips:)) The Sidmool brand was the one I discovered when my skin was so sensitive that I couldn't even apply sunscreen. I think it helped improve my skin barrier. During the time when my skin was dry and sensitive, this was almost the only product that could moisturize my skin without causing any trouble. I used about one and a half bottles. You may feel it's a bit drying, so I recommend trying to moisturize more thoroughly beforehand. Since adding cosmetics can be burdensome for those with sensitive skin, I suggest trying the 7-skin method (or 3-4 layers) with a suitable toner, or using an essence that suits you to help your skin cope. If you can apply sunscreen, I recommend layering a hydrating sunscreen to complete the moisturizing process.
Cons
Once you feel your skin barrier has improved to a certain degree, you can stop using it. Even after the improvement, if you continue using it, you will inevitably experience breakouts, unfortunately. I also couldn't finish the last bottle in the end. You may feel the fragrance is not great, but if it's a product suitable for sensitive skin, the fragrance shouldn't really matter. As long as it works for you, that's what counts.
Tip
When my skin was sensitive, I was obsessively searching for cosmetic ingredients, insisting that I should only use mild products and those with natural extracts. I was told this by a sales associate at Olive Young. They said that even though I was looking for products without preservatives to suit my sensitive skin, the natural extracts used in natural cosmetics often contain preservatives, so the actual content is unknown. They advised that using natural cosmetics could actually be more harmful for sensitive skin, and that the preservatives commonly used in the industry have proven safety, so they may be more stable for sensitive skin. While they may have been trying to sell products, I think there was some truth to what they said. I started to let go of the idea that natural products or natural extracts are inherently gentler, and began purchasing cosmetics based on how well they suited my skin, rather than just focusing on natural ingredients. My point is that if the Sidmool product works well for you, then by all means continue using it. But if it doesn't, don't feel the need to search endlessly for even more natural products. You may have become so sensitive that even gentle, natural products don't work for you anymore. In that case, it may be better to look for products focused on soothing and repairing the skin barrier, rather than just natural ingredients. Also, consider other factors that may be contributing to your sensitive skin, such as over-nourishing, over-exfoliating, issues with cleansers, or high stress levels. For me, cleansing and stress were the main culprits behind my sensitive skin at the time.

The ceramide content seems to be a bit on the higher side. It feels like a thin coating that doesn't make the skin feel stuffy. It's non-irritating and quite moisturizing.
Cons
While the plant-derived ingredients in Sidmool are good, it seems they haven't given much thought to the packaging. It would be great if they used recyclable and safe glass containers. The dry ingredients are good for use in the summer. While there's no major complaint using it in the winter or dry weather by adding oil or a richer cream, it would be better if they switched to a glass pump bottle. These days, pump caps are even produced without metal springs or glass balls.

The application is very smooth. While it's not a creamy formula, it spreads well when applied.
Cons
I'm not sure if there are any noticeable effects. I'll try a different ceramide product next time.

I have a T-zone with a lot of oil, and I apply it before bed, but the next day my face feels soft and supple, even beyond just being moisturized. I would say it has a good skin barrier effect, which is definitely a positive.
Cons
The spreadability and fragrance are both lacking. It's too thick and has a heavy, sticky feeling. The fragrance is also unfamiliar and takes some getting used to.

It contains a lot of ceramides. 'Moisturizing' is ambiguous.
Cons
The formula is not overly oily when applied, but it seems to have been too much for me - a pimple bomb ㅠㅠ

First of all, I have very dry skin, so after showering, my skin is in a drought-like state and starts to crack. So even if I use a decent cream, I have to reapply it after a few hours. However, when I use oily products, my skin doesn't absorb them well, and the oil just comes back up, so I had a lot of restrictions when choosing cosmetics. But ever since I started using this product, I don't have that concern anymore. As soon as I apply it, the moisture lasts for a long time, and it's almost like a protective film forms on my skin. It's not overly irritating, and by the next day, my skin feels quite rejuvenated. The ingredients also seem good, so I plan to repurchase this product.
Cons
I don't think I had any major issues, but if I had to pick something, it's that since it has quite a few ingredients, on the days when my skin is particularly sensitive, using this product sometimes felt a bit irritating.
Tip
Many people say the moisturizing power is lacking, but if you apply this product in 2-3 thin layers, the moisturizing effect lasts a really long time. Applying a large amount all at once doesn't work well, especially with this product.
