"A good cream; it has a pleasant, non-greasy texture, absorbs well, and moisturizes."
"Love this for a quick easy pick me up on not just my face, but also for my arms and legs when I feel super dry. I own the large jar version of this too, and loved it so much I needed to get it in the smaller version and its great for travel and on the go! Love to throw this in my purse for a great silky pick me up when feeling dry."
"I really like this. I put it on while my face is damp. It moisturizes really well. I have very very sensitive skin and it dosnt break me out at all, no rash and dosnt irritate my eyes. I use it with the low ph cleanser. And Im a big fan of the squeeze tube. I absolutely hate jars of anything I have to stick my finger in."
"I like the way how that cream works with my skin. No breakouts. I usually mix it with my foundation and it works really good. I can advice that cream even for girls with oily skin, because I didn’t have problems and any pimples after long time of using that cream"
"I upgraded to this product, from the Cosrx Hyaluronic Cream, and I couldn’t be happier! This new ceramide cream is so healing and hydrating! I love that it comes in a tube, as that makes portioning it out very easy. It never fails to lock in all the other serums and essences from my routine, and leaves my skin feeling so supple. Will be stocking up on these!"
"Very lightweight and glides easily"
"I LOVE this moisturizer! I was using another ceramide cream from a different brand that discontinued. I had been using other COSRX products so decided to try this one. I am not disappointed! You can see the benefits instantly. And, you only need a small amount so the tube lasts a long time."
"I love this moisturizer. It's heavy on my skin especially when my skin feels dehydrated. I have combo skin so I use this every morning after my serum. It helps with my make up because my skin doesn't feel dehydrated and my concealer doesn't look cakey at all. I would recommend this to anyone who has dry skin or combination."
"I love this!!! I swearrr if this ever discontinues im gonna end my life 🤣❤️ this is the only moisturizer that doesn’t break me out and has worked wonders on me"
"This moisturizer is really hydrating but still feels lightweight, which surprised me. It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, but it still gives my skin that comfortable, moisturized feeling. I mainly use it in my PM routine, and it works really well as the last step. I wake up with my skin feeling soft, calm, and not dry or tight. It’s also fragrance-free, which I really appreciate. It’s one of those products that just keeps your skin balanced and healthy over time. It does exactly what you want a moisturizer to do. I would repurchase this again. It’s a solid, dependable moisturizer not thick or overwhelming."
