I really loved this product, but it seems like it's no longer available. Even though I have oily skin, it absorbed completely and left my skin feeling taut. The scent is absolutely awful. I've never encountered a cosmetic product with such a strange and unpleasant smell. - Hwahae UserOily SkinSep 12, 2017
Is this classic cream still available? It's one I've personally found effective. At first, I was skeptical, but it truly improves your complexion. It's perfect for oily skin types, leaving your skin feeling taut. The scent is really... well, I can still vividly remember it. It's overwhelmingly strong, to be honest. Where can I find this these days? - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinApr 3, 2017
It has a thin pudding-like texture that feels cool when applied (especially if kept in a skincare fridge) and absorbs completely without leaving any residue. After use, there's a tightening sensation and pore-minimizing effect, making it perfect for summer when skin tends to lose firmness. I mostly used it in summer, always taking it out of the skincare fridge, which is probably why I remember that refreshing feeling! Even with frequent use, I didn't experience any particular blemishes. While it doesn't feel oily, it does give a unique glow (noticeable on bare skin, but not under makeup). It's like a thin film forms on the skin? There's a slight tightening sensation and it seems to refine skin texture too. This summer, when my skin was super oily, I desperately wanted to buy this again. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it in stock anywhere! This is definitely a product that people will either love or hate. The way it absorbs completely and then leaves a tightening sensation might not be for everyone. The scent is also quite unique (it's more of an odor than a fragrance, to be honest). If you prefer fragranced products, you might not like this. Personally, I prefer unscented products and dislike strong cosmetic fragrances, so this didn't bother me. Given the texture, a tube would be more convenient than the plastic jar it comes in. The texture and amount mean you'll use it up quickly. Even with two jars, you'll go through it much faster than a regular cream. In hot, sticky, sweaty, oily summers, when I didn't want to wear makeup or layer on multiple products, I just used this alone. When my skin felt dry, I'd reapply just this and it didn't make my skin oily like other products might. I recommend keeping it in a skincare fridge. (Update: This summer, when my skin was super oily, I thought of this product... but it was sold out where I used to buy it. I couldn't get it anywhere! Is it discontinued? If anyone knows where I can purchase this, please help!) - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinDec 17, 2015
I'm on my 5th jar of this product! Once I learned the proper application method, it's been so much better! This is the first cream I've ever repurchased 5 times! Remember to apply about 1/8 teaspoon, massaging it gently into your skin. Keep in mind that you'll need to hydrate and moisturize separately! The packaging is a cheap-looking plastic jar. It's concerning from a hygiene perspective and not very convenient. If you follow the instructions carefully and make sure to hydrate and moisturize separately, you can even use this before makeup! It seems to work especially well on pores around the nose area! - pr********Combination SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresJun 18, 2015
With consistent use, I feel like my sebum production has decreased and my pores have become cleaner. The scent... it takes quite a while to get used to. And the fact that you can only buy it through direct overseas purchase is a bummer. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinSensitive SkinMay 2, 2015
As you can see from the ingredients, there are no harmful components, and it absorbs well into the skin. The scent is a bit overwhelming. I stored it at room temperature away from direct sunlight, but it seems to have gone bad during summer - the color changed and the fragrance became stronger. (The flimsy plastic case is also a concern.) Moreover, I didn't notice any significant improvement in my skin while using it. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinApr 24, 2015
When applied, it gives a tightening sensation on the face. Even with my oily skin, I noticed my pores seem smaller and my skin feels smoother. After using it for a while, I felt the effectiveness decreased. It seemed to spoil easily, turning yellowish with an odd smell. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinAtopic SkinApr 24, 2015
I've been using this cream for 2 years now. It has a pudding-like texture, so you can easily scoop it out with the stick. It absorbs into the skin incredibly fast. The scent isn't overpowering, and with consistent use, you'll notice your skin developing a beautiful glow. I loved using it in summer because it feels so light on the skin. After application, there's no noticeable hydration or rich feeling. If you're someone who only applies cream after your toner and essence, you might experience some deep dryness. That's why I'm giving it 3 stars. You can mix in a few drops of oil to use it without any tightness, giving it a lighter feel than other creams. Alternatively, you can layer a hydrating moisturizer over this cream for added moisture.
