*** Key Features: - Contains 76% ginger extract - Dual-function for anti-wrinkle & brightening - 10 types of hyaluronic acid for deep hydration - 11 types of peptides for skin barrier protection - 9 plant-derived extracts for skin soothing/protection *** 20 Caution Ingredients: Only fragrance (but in small amounts, so I didn't experience much irritation!) *** Dry Skin-friendly Ingredients: - Glycerin: Increases moisture retention - Butylene Glycol: Powerful hydration - Sodium Hyaluronate: Intense hydration - Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Skin regeneration, elasticity - Chamomile Flower Extract: Moisturizing, soothes sensitivity *** Additional Info: - Product Name: Ginger6 Active Water Cream - My Skin Type: Dry/Sensitive - Usage Period: 8/20~8/27 (about 7 days) (I only applied it at night due to potential sun reaction with Vitamin E) The texture is gel-like but bouncy, making it very easy to apply. I generously applied the cream, massaged it in, and then gently patted my skin. When I woke up in the morning, my skin felt plump as if I'd used a sheet mask! When you first open the jar, there's a subtle fragrance. Although it's listed as a caution ingredient, I think it's fine as long as it's not too strong, and I appreciated that it wasn't irritating. I was initially concerned about potential irritation from the ginger extract, but I experienced none at all. This is probably the biggest advantage for those with sensitive skin. Since it doesn't sting, you can apply a generous amount, and the great results in the morning mean better makeup application. With adenosine and niacinamide included, it takes care of both wrinkle improvement and brightening, making it a one-stop solution for night care! *** Summary of Advantages: 1. Easy to apply 2. Pleasant fragrance despite being the only caution ingredient 3. Non-irritating 4. Improves makeup adherence after absorption (I noticed better makeup application in the morning after using it at night) ***This review was written as a member of The Hwahae Testers.
Although I only applied it at night and tried to pat it in thoroughly before bed, it was disappointing that it didn't absorb well. I just went to sleep, and by morning it had somewhat absorbed. The slow absorption rate is a downside! Also, because of this, my hair kept sticking to my face while sleeping, which wasn't ideal for someone like me who washes their hair at night. There's one caution ingredient out of 20 (fragrance), but I don't consider it a drawback, so I'll just mention it briefly. The diverse ingredient composition made me wonder if it might be a bit much when used with other skincare products. While it means there are many ingredients to protect the skin, I'd recommend it more for those who don't use many different skincare products. I also learned that using too much can lead to pimples, so it's important to apply an appropriate amount. *** Summary of Disadvantages: 1. Takes some time to absorb 2. Stickiness after application causes hair to stick to face 3. Overuse can cause acne (not small bumps, but larger pimples) ***This review was written as a member of The Hwahae Testers.
- Recommended for nighttime use due to slow absorption - Try patting it in with a damp beauty blender for better absorption - Use after thoroughly hydrating your skin (recommend 3+ layers of toner) to prevent acne (In my experience, it felt like it had a higher oil content than water content!) ***This review was written as a member of The Hwahae Testers.
