This product is targeted for mature skin and it is intended to hydrate skin, improve skin elasticity, and reverse the signs of aging. This moisturizer has key ingredients of glycerin, niacinamide, cica extract, and a few specially patented ingredients meant to target pore care and reduce dark spots.
The claims in this product are quite bold but they are semi-backed up by clinical trials conducted by the Korea Institude of Dermatogical Sciences that show the product soothing users' skin, tightening pores, and reducing the appearances of freckles and wrinkles within three weeks. (I say semi-backed up as we don't know how many of the 21 testers who participated actually found the product to be effective, as no percentage was given.)
In my experience, I have not seen as drastic results as the those who participated in the trials, but I don't have mature skin. Even though this cream is not targeted towards me, I still really enjoy it. It is a thicker, more emollient cream that I really enjoy using at night. It sinks in nicely and locks in all of the hydration I need during the night and leaves just a slightly dewy finish. It has a moderate flowery perfume smell but I don't mind as it dissipates quite quickly. I have been really enjoying this moisturizer during the transition between winter and spring, as I like to still use a rich moisturizer at night but prefer ones not as thick or emollient as I usually gravitate towards in the winter. I also like how I can use this during the day under a more matte sunscreen.

While I really enjoy this product, I can't justify the high price tag of $42USD. It feels like a great but basic moisturizer and at the end of the day, it isn't super special. However, I also prefer not to spend a lot on moisturizers as they are the most basic step of my routine. I also wish they could release a fragrance free version as I think some people would not enjoy it.
