   Great lightweight moisturizer!
   Super light & airy texture, and spreads like a dream! I have very sensitive, dry/combo skin that is prone to inflammation and clogged pores. I usually break out whenever I try something new, but this is one of the few products that didn’t cause any adverse reaction. My cheeks didn’t flare up either, which is more than I can say for most of the moisturizers I’ve tried in the past. Although the texture is really light (reminds me of a water cream), it’s still moisturizing enough for my skin that I don’t feel like I need to reapply during the spring/summer months (though I’ll probably need something more substantial when it eventually gets colder). I will say that I do wish it came in a larger size; my first jar lasted about two and a half months with daily use, while my current jar will probably last me about 3 months. It’s so inexpensive though compared to my previous moisturizers so I don’t mind it that much.For those on the fence between this and the repair balm, I purchased both because I loved the barrier cream so much and found that the balm is much thicker and probably more suited to those with dry/very dry skin. It also has more of a matte finish which makes my skin appear almost dull compared to the subtle dewiness of this barrier cream (while the dewiness does eventually fade to a natural finish, almost like I didn’t put anything on, the repair balm makes my skin look visibly matte). While the repair balm feels too heavy for me, it didn’t make me break out or cause any inflammation (and I did like layering it over the barrier cream during the winter when I needed a bit more moisture in my drier spots). Another thing to note is that the repair balm jar is much smaller than the barrier cream (probably about half the size) but because I need so little of it due to the thicker texture, I think it would probably last me about the same amount of time with daily use (maybe about three months, twice that if I only used a bit of it where needed). Overall I think they’re both really good moisturizers, especially for the price, but I much prefer the texture, dewiness, and lightweight nature of the barrier cream. Hope this helps! (also my previous review was deleted for some reason so I’m writing this again lol hopefully it stays up this time).Update (2/13/2024): Just wanted to do a quick update. I temporarily stopped using this cream back in October last year because I needed something a little heavier for the dry weather. I switched to the nourishing cream from this same brand, and it’s been perfect. It’s thicker than the barrier cream but not nearly as heavy as the repair balm. The texture is creamier than the repair balm and has a very natural finish. It definitely feels heavier than the barrier cream but it’s still lightweight and keeps my skin moisturized until I wash it off (maybe avoid the nourishing cream if you have quite oily skin though). No irritation whatsoever either. I will be going back to the barrier cream once the weather starts warming up though (still in love with the airy, cloud-like texture).

   Lightweight
   Lightweight Texture:The first thing I noticed about this cream is its incredibly lightweight texture. It glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. This makes it perfect for oily skin types as it doesn’t clog pores or add unwanted shine.Hydration Without Greasiness:Despite its lightweight formula, this cream provides ample hydration. My skin feels noticeably softer and smoother after using it, without any tightness or dryness. It also helps to calm any redness or irritation, making it ideal for sensitive skin as well.

   A very light moisturizer
   I’ve been using this product for 2 1/2 weeks and it’s great! I pair it with the PYUNKANG YUL Low pH Pore Deep Cleansing Foam and the pyunkang yul essence toner. This is a very very light moisturizer. If you have very dry skin, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. I only use this moisturizer in the morning. At night I use the creave moisturizing lotion. It is too light to sleep in. It almost feels too light during the day but it works very well. I feel nothing on my face. This is not a greasy moisturizer. There is no smell. This would be a perfect daytime moisturizer for the summer time. It’s great for winter, but only for normal to oily skin I would say. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because it wouldn’t work for all skin types and I hate tub containers like these. I have acrylic nails so it’s hard to get out. But besides that, the product itself is very good. I would recommend!

   Awesome moisturizer
   I have very oily and dehydrated skin. This moisturizer is lightweight and effective. My skin feels great, I’ve been using it over the winter and it’s been a lifesaver for those dry cold days.

   Truly calming
   I snagged the moisture barrier cream on a whim on sale because it was suggested to me after purchasing a k-beauty product. I’m new to k/j beauty and trying to build a good skincare routine without irritating my sensitive skin. I was immediately happy with this product because it felt so light weight and moisturizing! Then I was truly blown away when I did irritate my skin with another moisturizer. I was experiencing burning and little bumps along my skin after applying, so I washed again and applied this moisturizer instead. It felt like instant relief! The wonderful cooling sensation did away with the burning, and itching quickly subsided. I’ll definitely be repurchasing, as well as trying the other barrier healing products from this brand! With the goal of healing my skin barrier before addressing other issues, I’ve been using this morning and night (along with la roche posay cicaplast balm to seal in the moisture at night) and am already feeling better about my skin!

   Great but it could be better
   I always give products at least a month or two before I give a review for it just to see if it’s really worth it so this review is after a month and a half of using this product.I’m a fan of any Korean or Japanese skincare product, I feel like most of their products are the only ones that actually benefit my skin. I heard a lot of good things about this based off the reviews but I unfortunately, won’t be purchasing it again.1. Maybe it’s my skin type, but the moisture part was lacking. For example, I’ll put this moisturizer on and then after maybe four hours my skin is dry again and I feel like I have to reapply it.2. It’s not too thick and feels like it has a water-based texture, so if you’re a fan of that, this might be good for you.3. After about maybe a month of constant use, I started breaking out really bad on my cheeks after using it. At first, I thought it was something else, but I tried a different moisturizer one day and my skin was fine but then when I tried to reapply this, and I broke out again.Overall, it seems like it could be a really good product, depending on your skin type/needs. The only reason I won’t be repurchasing is because I was looking for something to keep my skin moisturized throughout the day and I didn’t really feel like this product did that especially once it started getting colder in my area.

   I really like this for my everyday moisturizer. It’s not greasy but also quite hydrating for how light it is. I use this during the day and it absorbs quickly, doesn’t pile under makeup and my skin had no reaction to it ( been using for 1.5 months)It doesn’t have a scent which is plus and the YUKA app rated it high in terms of ingredient quality. It’s a win for me and will be repurchasing

    J’ai voulu changer de crème pour une moins cher et j’en trop contente !! Sa texture est très agréable, il en faut pas beaucoup pour faire le visage entier, elle pénètre rapidement et ne laisse pas un fini trop épais. Pour une peau mixte à grasse, elle est parfaite selon moi.
