👀 First Impressions 👀
☀️ Packaging ☀️
It comes in a plastic small tube and it is very easy to squeeze out the product. I purchased the 30ml for testing out the product first.
I may sound very weird but i love staring at my illiyoon products sometimes for no reason because I just love the overall packaging and aesthetic of the brand. Soft, cute, but elegant at the same time.
☀️ Scent ☀️
It is fragrance free but it has a very light scent, but I’m not sure what scent it is. If you know the scent of Sebo de Macho, they have a quite similarities when it comes to the smell.
It doesn’t bother me at all. The light scent makes me feel more “clinically safe” It’s almost like a smell of the infirmary, hospital-ish vibe. Which i’m obsessed.
☀️ Texture ☀️
During hot days, when I squeeze a pea size to my hands, it tends to be more watery because of the heat and temperature of my room, but when it comes to rainy and colder days, it shows to be a very lightly creamy texture once applied to my hands.
It is a very light weight gel moisturiser, almost a translucent gel. Viscous texture. When worked into the skin, it becomes more of a watery type and it absorbs right away not leaving a heavy or greasy feel to it.
💎 My Experience 💎
I used this product for over a month now and I almost used up the whole product. This is my go to product whenever my skin feels tight or dry after cleansing in the morning. It is more of a hydrating moisturizer for me, yes, for my oily skin type, I consider this as my moisturizer during hot weathers where I tend to oil up so easily.
After morning skincare, my skin usually oil up after 6 hours and compared to other light to thick moisturizers I’ve used during the day, this product left my skin dewy and not super oily in the span of 8 hours! I was very impressed by this.
I also use this on my neck which is very dry and it completely hydrated my neck for the whole day without leaving a sticky, greasy thin film, it just absorbs like magic!
🤍 Final Thoughts 🤍
I could see myself repurchasing this product in the future considered its price. It works well with my very oily, sensitive skin. For long-term use, to be honest, i might get bored to it.
I just like exploring and trying new moisturizers out there, anyway, for long-term use, it will definitely suit every sensitive skin out there who needs the right hydration.
For dry skin types, maybe this could work before your thick moisturizers and also to prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL) during the evening. This layers very well with other products. It has everything for sensitive skin types and I’m just so happy with this product!

9/10
I didnt experienced any major issues with this product so far. The price point is reasonable. I also wish there would be more plant extracts in it to help soothe major irritations knowing it is a soothing gel. Maybe the most sad thing about my whole experience with it is the plastic tube. I haven’t felt an issue about it really, but when I almost used up the product, I’m having a hard time squeezing out the rest and I tend to cut it in half to get every single drop of it. I don’t also know how to safely store after cutting it for sanitary. I might enjoy the last few drops maybe if it comes with an airless pump glass bottle.
💙 SUGGESTIONS 💙
- More plant extracts
- Airless Pump

Finally found a moisturizer that doesn't break me out! I was having a hard time picking one, because other products would be too moisturizing and eventually cause little bumps on my skin. I guess it's because I have very oily so it needs the right product that is not too moisturizing but gives just enough hydration, and this moisturizer ticks all the boxes for me. It also contains ceramide to help strengthen your skin barrier. Couldn't ask for a better moisturizer honestly!
The texture is great, but it kinda gives a sticky finish if the weather's too hot

Texture: Lightweight gel texture that spreads and sinks into skin easily.
Performance: I use this as a sleeping mask at night as I have oily skin and live in a place where it is hot and humid. This provides great overnight hydration, as it contains emollient ingredients (Ceramide)
Price: This is such a steal honestly. Illiyoon is such an affordable brand and such a bang for your buck! Can't recommend this enough.
Nothing bad at all. No fragrance, not tacky, I love it!

Ever since I ditched heavy creams due to clogged pores, I focused my attention towards gels and gel creams. I have found some amazing products that although marketed for combo/oily skin types (I really need to stop believing in marketing statements), they work for my dry skin as well.
One of the gel creams I love is the Illiyoon's Ceramide Ato Soothing Gel. A fan favourite from Illiyoon is the Ceramide Ato Cream which I purchased along with the soothing gel but at the time my mother's CeraVe moisturizing cream ran out. I sacrificed the cream for my mother due to my undyling love for the woman who created me and settled for the soothing gel and I do not have any regrets.
The Ceramide Soothing Gel is a 175mL tube priced at $21.90 (Stylekorean). It is a thick, translucent gel cream that claims to pack long lasting moisturizing care and soothing sensitive skin.
The product is vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, hypoallergenic tested and free of alcohol, fragrance and essential oils. The formulation includes star ingredients which acts as humectants (Glycerol, Betaine), emollient (Squalane), antioxidant (Tocopherol) and help repair the skin's natural barrier (Ceramide NP).
I really love this gel cream! Right off the bat, I agree to the claims. My skin stays moisturized and hydrated throughout the day. On days when my acne situation is bad, the gel cream is soothing upon application and the sensation really helps calm my skin. No irritation felt throughout the day and night. For my day routine, I use a light application and for night, I apply a slightly thicker amount to last the whole night. My skin doesn't feel greasy and still feels moisturized when I wake up the next day.
To conclude, I really enjoyed this gel cream. Highly recommend to those looking for a gel cream, something lightweight and of course all skin types especially sensitive skin types are welcomed.
I would only remind that if applied in a large amount, it might take time to set due to the thick texture. Other than that, I have no issues with it.

Super quick absorption with no tacky residue. My skin feels refreshed after applying. It's pretty lightweight while still being super hydrating. I also like the size of the tube as it lasts me a long while and is worth the money
Nothing bad personally! Might be too light for those with extremely dry skin, but I find that it works perfectly for me :)

I finally tried this one and I can say that it's a lighter version of the Illiyoon Ato Cream. If you do not want anything heavy without compromising moisture, go for this! I use this as a morning moisturizer and it's perfect! It's scent-free as well.
It's heavier than other gel creams. Not necessarily a bad thing though!

This moisturizer is safe to use for sensitive skin, the texture is very light and comfortable to use day or night. This moisturizer is quite hydrating when applied after exfoliating and doesn't feel sticky after use. the price is also very friendly with a lot of content so it will run out for quite a while
when used during the day it actually makes the forehead area feel dry and tight, so sometimes I use it twice, especially in the forehead area

My favorite AM moisturizer in the humid summers. It's the only one that doesn't make me feel oily at the end of a hot humid day. Super lightweight but highly moisturizing.
Not a bad thing about this one

Hi, so I want to introduce a moisturizer that I think is cheap and good, this is my top moisturizer for a cheap price, this is a Korean brand, there are 2 variants of the same gel, the cream, but because I feel my skin is oily, I tend to prefer the gel, the gel texture is not sticky, right, can be applied to the face in the morning and evening because it is that light, the main ingredient is ceramide, which we know that ceramide is good for strengthening and repairing the skin barrier, so I really suggest it to which again has problems such as sensitive skin, redness, itching, this is also good for hydration, makes the skin moisturised, I also always recommend this moisturizer for my friends, it absorbs easily, makes the skin supple too, basically this is the best, you have to try !!! hopefully fit :)
Ithis is my holy grail, im sorry, i don't find anything bad about this product

Value for money and very moisturing.
I've tried this 4-5 times. My skin doesn't get along with this product. It turned red and angry for about an hour after application. 😅
I had expected this to be lighter than the cream or lotion version but it is still thick for my skin with a shiny, greasy finish, making my skin feels stuffy and congested.
Will I repurchase? An unfortunate no for me but if this works for you, then I am happy for you! 😀
