Innisfree Perfect 9 Repair Cream has a thick creamy consistency like a ‘balm’. The cream spreads easily due to the smooth texture it has and gets absorbed without taking much time. It does not feel oily or sticky post-application and moisturizes my skin pretty well. Although my skin becomes dry and stretched after a few hours of application during the dry weather. On the other hand, in humid climate, it makes my skin a little greasy. In my opinion, this cream might not work for extremely dry or very oily skin types.
I have also noticed tiny bumps on my nose, chin and cheek area after I have used it regularly for two weeks. During that period of time, I did not use an exfoliator either. This could be a reason why I got so many bumps. I assumed this moisturizer can clog your pores if you layer this over different products or if you avoid using a good exfoliator especially chemical exfoliator for better results. Moreover, using retinol along with this cream should be avoided because it contains alcohol.
