ConsIt may feel a bit heavy in the summer, and it's slightly sticky...

I didn't really have any skin troubles, and since I heard that the ingredients in the high-end Amore Pacific line and the more affordable Innisfree line aren't that different, I've been using Innisfree products as my main skincare for over 5 years. I've used this product about 3 bottles. ✔️Texture, Formulation, Fragrance It can be compared to the Olive Real Power Cream EX. It has a similarly rich, heavy texture with a noticeable oil content, and the fragrance is not overly stimulating either. It would be even better if the fragrance was made solely from the natural scent of the ingredients, which would be more in line with current trends. With the right oil content for late fall to spring use, it seems a bit less rich than the Olive Power Cream, but the slightly greasy feel makes it seem like it sits on top of the skin. After absorption, it's less tacky than the Olive Cream, so it could work well as a morning moisturizer for very dry skin types in the winter. ✔️Efficacy After absorption, my skin feels a bit more supple compared to the Olive Power Cream, but I didn't notice a significant improvement in firmness. Realistically, dramatic firming benefits from an affordable skincare product are quite difficult to achieve.
Cons✔️Perhaps due to the functional aspects, while it feels fine right after application, sometimes I noticed a bit of dryness over time. This may be because the formula doesn't fully sink in. Compared to the Mamonde Hibiscus Intense Cream I'm currently using, the Mamonde has a thinner texture but seems less drying. Just being thick doesn't necessarily mean it will effectively combat dryness. It likely comes down to the specific ingredients and formulation. ✔️If you're looking for moisturizing and firming benefits from Innisfree products, it might be better to use the Olive Power Cream along with a serum from their lifting/firming line. Unfortunately, it also contains PEG, which is disappointing.

And since it suits my skin well, I've been using it without any trouble.
ConsIt has a bit of oiliness, so my face can get shiny. Other than that, there are no downsides.

It's moisturizing. Using a cream on top also solves the dryness issue.
ConsIt was moisturizing and good, but when I use this, my skin turns upside down. My whole skin becomes rough and bumpy... I don't know what's causing it, but please test the sample before using it. Aside from this, it's great~

I highly recommend it, especially for those with extremely dry skin. As someone with extremely dry skin, even the most moisturizing creams are not enough for me. I have to be mindful of moisture even in the middle of summer. The fermented soy cream has a very rich and creamy texture. Once applied, there's no uncomfortable tightness or stickiness at all! I've been using it well from early fall through the winter!
ConsI'm not sure if it's just me, but... After applying, I keep getting this strange 'cosmetic taste' (?) in my mouth. I made sure not to get it on the area around my lips, and I didn't even ingest it, but I kept tasting the cosmetic flavor in my mouth, which was quite bothersome throughout my sleep.

I used it for two days and then gave it to someone else. 😢
ConsAs I mentioned before, I used it for two days and then felt bad about giving it away. The texture is slippery and viscous. When applied, it doesn't feel like it absorbs immediately, but rather feels greasy. It absorbs slowly. I applied it before bed and waited, but then my skin became flushed and felt dry. The next day, I noticed that I had breakouts on my forehead and cheeks. I thought it was strange, so I applied it again the following evening, and my pores looked enlarged and it felt irritated again. I then removed it and applied the Innisfree Cica Balm, and that helped calm it down. 😢 It just didn't work for my skin at all. I bought it because it only had 2 key ingredients, but I guess I reacted to the fragrance. If you have sensitive skin, I wouldn't recommend using this. 😢

The sales assistant recommended this product for my dry skin, so I used it. First of all, since it has a lot of oil content, it didn't feel as heavy in the dry office environment where the heater is on. Although I have extremely dry skin, my T-zone tends to get oily. When using this product, I had to wipe the T-zone multiple times with blotting paper. I would recommend this to those who need more oil in their skincare.
ConsThe only thing I can recommend about this product is that it doesn't feel sticky. On sensitive days, it makes me break out in pimples and feel itchy. As for the claim that it improves elasticity, I'm not sure if I noticed any difference even after using it. If you plan to use this in the summer, I strongly advise against it.. The oil just keeps coming up;; As someone with sensitive and dry skin, I absolutely do not recommend this to those with sensitive or oily skin types.
TipSince I didn't want to waste the remaining product, I applied it to my legs which tend to get dry in the winter, and it made them feel smoother. If you're reluctant to throw away the leftovers, I'd recommend using it on your body like I did.

ConsThe inner dryness has not been resolved. It seems to need to be used together with an essence.

It has a great application and when I gently pat it with my palm, my skin shines brightly, making me feel great. It's the best cream for the price.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing, but if I had to nitpick, I tend to use it up too quickly. I have to buy it again.

But ever since I started using the fermented soy firming cream at the end, it definitely seems to be less prone to drying out. Now I always make sure to use this when finishing up my routine. It's so different from other thick night creams, I just can't not use it. I'd highly recommend this to anyone struggling with severe dryness like me.
ConsWhen I apply it at the end, my face ends up looking a bit oily, which is a bit of a concern for me. But since it does help with the dryness, I just deal with it.
