📖 What it Does 📖
• Healing • Soothing • Calming • Barrier Strengthening • Repairing • Moisturising •
🧖♀️ My Experience 🧖♀️
I use this as a night moisturiser as it's too thick for my oily skin to use during the day. This doesn't get sticky and absorbs well into skin. It keeps the moisture, calms and soothes my skin even with the irritation from using tretinoin. This has been a staple moisturiser especially for winter. If my skin is feeling extra dehydrated, I put on a thicker layer and it just locks all of my previous products in as it's somewhat occlusive. This makes my skin feel smooth and soft in the morning.

💭 Final Thoughts 💭
I'm on my 5th tube! It's better for dry to normal skin types. But for oily skin I suggest to use as a night cream.
⭐ Overall Score ⭐
5/5
📢 This has Citrus Artantium Bergamia Fruit Oil as the last ingredient which is masking/perfum and can be irritating to some people.

Pros:
If you're dry skinned, this restores moisture well. It dries down to a matte finish which is really oil-free, but may be heavy for some in the daytime, so night-time is the best time for this moisturizer. I sometimes use this in the daytime though, depending on my skin's needs.
It moisturizes well in cold temperatures too. It's occlusive and emollient, which does well against TEWL.
It made my skin softer and reduced hyper-pigmentation in some areas of my face, and to a certain extent, helped reduced textured skin bc of how emollient it is. It also helped balance the oiliness of my skin when I was truly oily. I always wake up to a bit of oil on my skin after I wake up, but that's a natural occurence regardless of the product I use.
I also noticed that my skin barrier's gotten strong because of this, evidenced by the way my skin no longer reacts badly to other moisturizers. Must be the centella leaf water in this?
Cons:
I think it just depends on the skin type.
I use this as I have dehydrated/oily skin that likes to change a lot, but it still does well.
Sometimes I'm dry skinned, or my skin is really textured. And there are instances when this product doesn't work on me as well as it usually does, but overall, it always does great for me.

I have been suffering from acne for a long time and with all the treatment and medicines applied on my skin it became irritated and my skin barrier was damaged.
I searched for calming cream and came across this product. As I have read that the ceramide helps restore skin barrier I had to give this product a try. I just love this product. It really did help me to calm my skin down. All the redness reduce.
I also did see some of my acne spots lighten.
It has a balm like texture so bit hard to blend it in.

This product is good because of all the ingredients in there. Plus fragrance-free and free of other common irritants! Just started using this, about 2wks now and so far so good! I shall update this after 2months if it delivers its promises. 😊😂
My only comment on this is that it's oily so my T-zone gets super oily with this, thus the need to blot with tissues/blotting paper. But feels hydrating on my dry cheeks part.

If there anything my oily and dehydrated skin loves, it must be a ceramides and centella 💖 This beauty has both, plus other goodies like niacinamide, Glycerin and oils.
I normally use Cerave lotion (which I love) but wanted something with a little extra calming ingredients since I just started tret. This really fits the bill and first impressions are that it's a keeper!
It's a pretty thick cream with kind of a greasy texture, so much so that I was worried it wouldn't absorb well but it really did sink in quite nicely (although I'm not sure it would really work for a daytime moisturiser personally, but that's not what I bought it for).
Has a slight centella scent, definitely not overpowering.
I apply it on my tret nights and it's working great. I wake up with no irritation or drying at all!
It's moisturising enough that I don't feel like I need a sleeping mask before bed.
I don't think there's no bad review for this product on my skin ATM but I will review again in my IG once I finish it! Thumbs up for the great ingredients 👍

This does what it says on the tube. When I damaged my skin barrier last year this really helped to repair it. I find sometimes after testing some products my skin flares up with redness so I use this to help calm my skin down. It does have a gentle scent of some natural ingredients but dissipates after few minutes.
I find that some matt moisturisers cause pilling. This one doesn't. It works really well with the rest of my skin products. Although this is a light weight moisturiser it works well through out the winter for me!
I can't fault this at all

COSRX claims this product will calm, soothe and streghten irritated or damaged skin without a greasy feeling.
Prime ingredients:
3 types of ceramide that work on repairing the skin's barrier, regenerating surface cells and creating healthier skin from the inside to the surface.
Medical grade centella Asiatica that balances the skins natural oil and moisture.
The cream comes in a tube and is rather lightweight in formula for a thicker texture. It takes a couple minutes to pentrate and absorb into the skin. This should be used as the finishing step in your routine as any layering products may pill on top.
A little bit of the cream goes a long way which makes this product nore cost effective ($26 (USD) for 80g tube on their website at time of review).
I LOVE the affects this product has on my skin. I use it in my PM routine and wake up with plump, red-free skin. Its perfect for dry, winter skin and for anytime your skin may become irriatated or your skins barrier compromised.
This cream is on the heavier side, and i found it to be uncomfortable during the day, but it works well overnight

It creates a protective layer on top of skin without feeling greasy nor sticky. It has an unique smooth balm-y texture that instantly melts over skin. I expect it would turned me into a grease-ball but it doesn’t! To the contrary, it absorbs well, leaving soft velvety finish. It smells citrusy from bergamot EO. it becomes my go-to moisturizer when my skin is sensitize, flaky and overexfoliated.
Might be too rich for oily skin
