As a skincare nomad, I've never found anything that works well for me, so I've always bought different products, but my bumpy skin with a lot of acne has completely calmed down..🫶🏻 Can you see the difference before and after? Ignore my large pores, ^^. When I just look at my blemishes, they've completely subsided 😍 I received it as a trial sample on YouTube and liked it so much that I bought it! At first, I used it in the order of toner->serum->gel cream, but as a poor student, the price was a bit high, so after using up the serum, I only repurchased the toner and gel cream ☺️ 💦Toner: A viscous, runny texture. Using it as a toner pack makes the skin feel plump, so it's great for the next skincare step. It absorbs really well when applying makeup. ◻️Toner pads: When I used the trial, the cotton felt too thick and didn't adhere well to the skin, and it seemed difficult to rinse out, so I didn't purchase it. It's better to soak a thin, 5-ply cotton pad in the toner and use it as a pack. 💧Serum: Similar viscosity to the toner. Personally, I'm not sure if the serum plays a big role, so I didn't repurchase it. 💚Gel cream: I really love it ♡♡♡ I can't live without it.. Due to hormones, my skin flips upside down once a month, but with continued use, it calms down quickly! When I first tried it, the soothing effect was the most dramatic, and now that it's been over 6 months, the acne that used to come up is going away. But the moisturizing power is just right for my oily-combination skin, and when I wash my face the next day, the oil comes up, but as it rinses away, my skin feels soft and smooth!
ConsI would appreciate if you could provide a larger size! And I noticed that it is not available on Ollying... I hope more people can try it out and find the light, it's really great.
TipApplying Liddell Shot and then layering it on top is really great as it helps the skin absorb the products better. The toner & cream combination is a must!! Using just the cream alone, but first doing a toner pack and then applying, makes it absorb much better - it's a fantastic combination.

He's been using it well.
ConsThe only downside is that the portion seems a bit small. Everything else is to my liking.

I usually get itchy or my skin turns red if a product doesn't agree with my skin, but that's not the case with this one. It has a lightweight formula that applies well, and the moisture doesn't disappear right away, so it seems like a good option for summer use. I use it with a serum and pads, and they work well together.
ConsPersonally, I don't think I've felt any disappointment. I've been using it even in the summer, and I'm still using it very well even in the winter now.
TipUsing the serum and pads makes me feel more moisturized.

For extremely dry skin, layering it on 2-3 times would probably work well even in the fall and winter.
ConsThe contents come out a lot from the tube. Don't press down too hard.
TipUsing it with a toner and serum will give you glowing skin. I use the whole line including sunscreen, and I recommend it for people with sensitive skin (that gets irritated during their period, from stress, or from cold winds).

ConsSince I've been using only fragrance-free products, I felt this product had quite a bit of fragrance, more than I expected.
TipI had taken some photos but they all got lost, so I can't attach them. When your face is damp, applying the hydrating gel right after toner makes the moisturizing effect even better! Patting it on helps it absorb quickly!

ConsIt has a masculine skin care scent, but it's not too strong. The scent is noticeable when you first apply it, but it gradually fades, so it's not a major concern. The moisturizing power is sufficient, so it doesn't fully absorb like a soothing gel, and there's a slight residual feel.

For oily skin, it may feel a bit heavy to use as a daytime cream in the summer. However, it seems like a good daytime cream for combination or dry skin types in the summer. Occasionally, gel-type creams can cause the base to slip, but there was no such issue with this product, which was the best part. The absorption is not too fast or too slow, but just right. When I rubbed it in with my hands, I felt a slight oiliness left on my hands. When I used toner + ampoule + this cream as my base, my skin felt comfortable without any tightness, even when I powdered under the air conditioning. The fragrance is a bit difficult to describe, but it's similar to cucumber. It's not a strong fragrance, so it was quite pleasant. 🪴Packaging: The tube-type packaging is very hygienic to use. I think it would be even more convenient to adjust the amount if the dispenser tip was a bit more pointed. However, the amount that comes out is just right to cover the entire face. I felt it was a bit too much for daytime use, but the amount was just right for nighttime. The size is also convenient to bring along on trips, so I could just bring the whole tube on vacation and use it. 💛 Overall: Among gel creams, I felt this one had a relatively high oil content, but I think it's a good gel cream for dry and combination skin types. The volume is also great considering the usage period after opening. During the 2 weeks of use, I was on my period, so I can't say much about whether it caused any breakouts, but it didn't seem to cause any trouble. Considering the current humid and very hot weather in Korea, I think this is an excellent daytime and nighttime summer cream. Even for those sensitive to fragrance, I don't think they would have any aversion to it. It was also good that the dispenser didn't get dirty during use, and the hygienic packaging made the overall usage experience very satisfactory. I would recommend this cream. However, the key is adjusting the amount. I think this cream is very suitable for the current weather, which requires the use of powder (lightweight creams can cause dryness, but since this one contains a good amount of oil, there was no tightness). Even for oily skin, it can be used without issue with a small amount, so I would recommend it for all skin types.
ConsIf the oil control fails, it can feel stuffy and oily, and for those with oily skin, finding the right amount for their skin is the key. It seems like a good daily summer option for dry skin. Combination skin also needs to be careful with oil control, just like oily skin.
TipApply the product to the cheeks first, then use the remaining amount to gently sweep across the chin, forehead, and nose to allow for absorption.
