Even though my skin was extremely dry, especially in the winter, just using this cream alone was generally fine. After checking the ingredients, I switched to a different cream, but I had gotten so used to this one that my face just didn't agree with the change. When I went back to using this cream, my skin calmed down, but I don't want to use it anymore because of the ingredients.
ConsI've been using this cream consistently for a long time, so I'm really not sure what happened with the ingredients...
TipBefore applying makeup, the cream would spread easily, so I would just gently pat it in when using it at night.

The moisture also lasted quite well, and with just a little warmth it melted right in and absorbed quickly.
ConsAs many oily-skinned folks can relate, ingredients like shea butter can sometimes clog pores and cause breakouts like whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. On days when my skin was feeling sensitive, especially around my period, it would also sting a bit. Even though my skin is quite resilient, it still reacted that way. The fragrance also wasn't great, and I experienced some pilling as well.
TipIf you're someone who does well with shea butter and similar ingredients, this could be a great option for you! Just be aware of the potential pilling, so make sure to apply a good skincare base beforehand, like a toner or serum. Using a face mask or the '7 Skin Method' can also help it absorb better - just pat it in gently after applying.

While having just moisture is not enough in the winter when it's dry, this one has a perfect balance of oil and water. I used about 10 of them before getting bored and looking for something new, but I ended up coming back to this.
ConsIt might be a bit heavy in the summer. There's a thinner type of this that might be better for the summer.

It's a great fit for those with dry skin - just apply a moderate amount and your skin will look smooth and dewy when you do your makeup. Around the afternoon, the right amount of oil comes through, making your skin look healthy and glowing. This is one of my absolute favorite products, though I was surprised to find that it contains quite a few potentially harmful ingredients. However, since those ingredients are listed towards the end, they're likely present in small amounts, so as long as you check for any troublesome components for your own skin, this should be a safe pick. The problematic ingredients don't seem to cause any issues for me personally.
ConsOn days when I'm sweating or oily, the excess oil causes my makeup to slide around or get patchy. This is definitely a product to avoid in the spring and summer. The scent seemed a bit artificial to me at first, but it became less noticeable the more I used it. However, my friend really dislikes the fragrance.
TipIt's better to apply this in the morning before doing your makeup rather than at night. Those with oily skin types likely won't find this to be a good match.

ConsIf you apply sunscreen after applying cream, the cream can peel off or an unusual phenomenon of the cream being wiped off can occur.

People I met kept complimenting my skin. Even after applying it, I didn't feel like it dried out or became dry over time.
ConsIt was so expensive... And when I tried to buy it after coming back to Korea, I felt like my heart was being torn apart, for real.

The moisturizing effect is definitely good, and it absorbs well too! I've been buying and using it every winter.
ConsI trusted The Body Shop, but I was surprised that the ingredients weren't as good as I expected. If I had to point out a downside of this product, it would be the fragrance. When I first smelled it, I was like, 'What is this smell?' Haha. But after using it a few times, I got used to it. Still, my friends who tried it for the first time were often taken aback by the scent.

In fact, I'm now using a sample of the Seedmul Mamesegang Cream with good ingredients, but my milia have been popping up a lot, which is strange.
ConsIt's fine in the evening, but my makeup tends to wear off a bit in the morning. You might want to use a lighter application.
TipWhen breakouts occur, mixing in a drop of tea tree oil and applying it helps them subside by the next day.

ConsI won't be buying it again. Personally, I feel the same way about the skincare lotion, but the person in charge of the Vitamin E line should be penalized immediately at The Body Shop. As soon as I apply it, it stings, and over time, my face becomes itchy and my atopic dermatitis, which had subsided, flares up again, and the calming effect doesn't last. I hope The Body Shop removes the harmful ingredients as soon as possible.
