The cream has very little oil, so it seems suitable for combination or oily skin types. As a person with combination skin that lacks moisture, I found that it did not cause excess oil the next morning and felt comfortable. Surprisingly, it also effectively addressed dryness. Even with my sensitive skin, I experienced no breakouts or irritation while using this product. Instead, my skin texture became smoother and more comfortable. This is likely due to the adequate moisture supply, which helped regulate sebum production. Although the price is a bit high considering the volume, I plan to repurchase this product.
ConsThe application is not smooth. It is very thick and sticky!! Applying it makes my skin feel like it's being pushed, as if wrinkles might form... But aside from that, everything else is good, so I just continue using it... The small volume is disappointing, as it gets used up quickly. If you have dry skin with insufficient sebum production, this product may not be enough. I would recommend using an additional facial oil.

The cream is not bad, but it didn't quite quench my inner dryness. However, it's a cream that makes my skin feel comfortable. The amount is a bit disappointing. It's not overly oily, but it's a heavy cream? However, once applied and left for a bit, it absorbs completely. It seems like it's due to my skin barrier being compromised and the inner dryness.
ConsEven using the entire Ectoin line couldn't fully address my inner dryness, which is disappointing.

As a combination skin type with acne and dehydration, my face becomes extremely dry as soon as early fall comes. I've been struggling to find the right winter cream for the past 3-4 years, but I don't use it on its own. When I mix the Ectoin Derma Cream with my regular moisturizer that works well for me, it doesn't cause any breakouts and my skin doesn't feel tight. I've probably spent over 1 million won on other creams that didn't work for me.
ConsThe price is a bit on the higher side. Even though I mix it with another cream, it can be burdensome to use it on its own.
TipEveryone, please try mixing it just once!!!!! For those with acne-prone skin, try mixing it with your regular moisturizer that works well for you. Or you can reduce the amount of the Ectoin cream, and it will work great.

The moisture one seems to be quite good compared to any other product. I was disappointed that the product was too small, thinking 'what is this?', but since it has a very rich and creamy moisturizer texture, I thought the usage period would be similar to regular products. When used with the ampoule, it feels even more moisturizing. It's really hard to find a good basic product that doesn't irritate my skin that's sensitive to oils or extracts, but I plan to use this for a long time.
ConsHowever, one slightly disappointing point is that it doesn't feel as soft and smooth when applied as other moisturizers. It has a somewhat sticky feeling, but it's okay if you pat it on. The second disappointing point is that it might be a bit dry in the winter. With its 100% moisturizing feel, I think I'll need to mix in some oil or something to use it in the winter. For dry skin, I wouldn't recommend it, but if you just want light moisture, it might be worth trying it out. Also, after applying, the skin feels quite tacky, as if dust will stick to it. But I can accept that, and think it's a product worth trying at least once.
TipIt becomes much more moisturizing if you layer it a few times. Don't just slap it on all at once, but apply it in two or three layers, and it will be very moisturizing. If you're hesitant, try the ampoule first, and if it suits your skin, then try the cream.

It has a rich texture, but provides adequate moisture and works well. When used with a serum, it applies more easily!
ConsIt's quite thick, so it doesn't spread very well on its own. That aspect was a bit inconvenient.

However, this is a product that can give you that 'holy grail' feeling for a while. I say this because I think I'll continue using this product even as my skin gets drier with age. I started using this product after hearing good things about it from those around me. In my research, I found that this was one of the least oily products, so I gave it a try. Now, I've stopped making my own creams and am on my second bottle of this product. I haven't been able to review it for a while since I stopped using other commercial products. Looking at the ingredients, there's hardly any oil. The main active ingredients that directly affect the skin are glycerin, panthenol, and caprylic... just those three. Caprylic... that's an oil, but it's listed after panthenol, so the oil content is probably no more than 5%. This product contains 5% panthenol. The rest are just additives like texture, emulsifiers, and preservatives. But as they say, panthenol is very hydrating, and this product does feel very moisturizing and cooling. However, with minimal oil, this may not be enough for more mature skin. I don't use this alone either. There are two types of moisturizers - occlusive and humectant. Occlusive is mostly oil-based. In other words, there's hardly any occlusive moisturizing here. Personally, I apply this and then mix in some jojoba oil, vitamin E, and squalane as a face oil. It's also great under sunscreen, as it's non-oily and very hydrating. Among the sunscreens I like, the ones that are too oily or drying work well with this. In theory, this should work for both oily and mature skin types. But individual skin may react differently.
ConsIt's quite thick. I've seen reviews saying this can be problematic. The thickness makes it hard to spread evenly on the face. I don't really like that feeling of the product sliding around. Probably has to do with the xanthan gum in the formulation.

ConsIt didn't work for me :( Something like closed comedones appeared :( The application is a bit lacking... It applies well when the skin is hydrated, but not as well when the skin is dry

I was a person with dry skin but had no major troubles, so I was very surprised. I tried various natural cosmetic products, but they either made it worse or had no effect. Then the Hwahae Trial Reviewer recommended this product to me. It's really the best of the best! The Ectoin ingredient seemed to suit me perfectly, and the swollen and itchy area calmed down just a day after using it. My routine is: cleansing with the Enzyme Gel, misting with the Hwahae Oncheon Mineral Water, applying the Hwahae Rose Essential, and using the Ectoin Cream. This combination is the best. I used to apply steroid ointment due to severe itchiness and stinging, but I haven't had to use it at all since switching to these products. I don't think I'm completely healed yet, so I'll continue to apply it thoroughly three times a day for a month. If you're suffering from atopic dermatitis, be sure to try this!
ConsThe amount is too little haha Actually, I like that it's portable, but when you first receive it, you might think 'Huh?' haha
TipI also use this as a hand cream often. The absorption is really hard to describe, but there's absolutely no oiliness, and after it's absorbed, there's just a slight moisturized feeling left behind. After washing my hands and applying this hand cream, there's no stickiness at all, so it's really great.

My favorite cream.
ConsThe size is small, so those who like it might want to buy multiple. It gets used up quickly haha
TipI also mix it into my foundation a bit more, and it applies so smoothly and nicely.
