- \n
- Humectants: <\/strong>Ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide attract moisture to the skin\u2019s surface, keeping skin moisturized.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Emollients: <\/strong>Ingredients like ceramides, squalane and dimethicone make skin smooth and soft by filling in gaps between skin cells. They also help reinforce the skin barrier to prevent moisture loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Occlusives: <\/strong>Ingredients like petrolatum, shea butter and mineral oil cover skin in a protective film, keeping moisture locked inside. Some of these ingredients also function as emollients that soften skin. Moisturizers heavy on occlusives are usually thicker in texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Soothing ingredients:<\/strong> In addition to causing dry skin, eczema also leads to flare-ups and sensitive skin. Skin-soothers like colloidal oatmeal, panthenol (Vitamin B5) and centella asiatica extract<\/a> help calm irritation and cool redness from inflamed skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients to avoid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Alcohol:<\/strong> According to the FDA<\/a>, the term \u201calcohol-free\u201d refers to the absence of ethanol in cosmetics labeling, so scan the ingredients list for \u201cethyl alcohol\u201d or \u201cethanol\u201d to make sure the product is made without it. Ethanol dries out skin, causing itchiness and eczema flare-ups. Don\u2019t get it confused with ingredients like stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol, which are actually beneficial emollients commonly found in eczema creams!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fragrance:<\/strong> This ingredient is usually a red flag for those with sensitive skin. \u201cFragrance\u201d is non-specific and can contain small amounts of all sorts of ingredients that potentially cause allergic reactions and contact dermatitis. Play it safe by reaching for fragrance-free products that list ingredients you can identify clearly!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
All three creams that I selected are alcohol-free and fragrance-free, and contain a combination of beneficial humectant, emollient and soothing ingredients. Let\u2019s have a look at these three moisture-barrier-repairing creams from popular Korean skin care<\/a> brands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beta Panthenol Repair Cream<\/a> is packed with SOME BY MI<\/a>\u2019s patented Beta-Panthenol™, which contains skin barrier-improving beta-sitosterol as well as 50,000ppm of soothing and moisturizing panthenol. Formulated with glycerin and squalane, the formula provides hydrating effects. It contains natural emollients like safflower seed oil and sunflower oil to lock moisture in skin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nMy experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cream felt lightweight and absorbed quickly in my skin, which meant it didn\u2019t feel noticeable on skin after a short amount of time. I personally prefer a richer cream that stays on skin for a longer period for lasting hydration to my very dry skin, but this product would work great for those who are looking for a more lightweight moisturizer with a non-greasy finish. Its light texture was perfect for using under makeup during the day. I noticed a very clean and mild fruity scent upon application, thanks to melon and banana extracts, but it fades quickly after the cream absorbs into skin.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/figure>\nIngredient breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Formulated with emollient ceramide NP, Cos De BAHA<\/a>‘s C1 Ceramide 1% Cream<\/a> softens skin and supports the skin barrier. The sensitive skin-friendly formula is loaded with natural soothing ingredients such as centella asiatica extract, centella-derived madecassoside, aloe leaf extract and green tea leaf extract. It also contains humectant ingredients glycerin, niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate for ample moisture. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) offers antioxidant and moisturizing benefits.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nMy experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
With moisture-locking ingredient ceramide NP and its thick consistency, this cream was effective in keeping my skin soft and staving off dryness for longer. It\u2019s packed with soothing ingredients that helped calm constantly flaky and irritated areas of my face like my forehead and upper lip area. My qualm with this product is its small size at 45ml, but it makes the cream easy to carry around for on-the-go reapplication. <\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/figure>\nIngredient breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goodal<\/a>\u2019s Vegan Rice Milk Moisturizing Cream<\/a> is formulated with glycerin and ceramide NP, humectant and emollient ingredients that are naturally found in skin for thorough hydration. The cream also contains caprylic\/capric triglyceride, a common emollient derived from coconut oil and glycerin, and it\u2019s suitable for all skin types. Enriched with hydrogenated rice bran oil and Vegan Rice Milk™ (rice extract), the formula retains moisture for soft skin. It\u2019s alcohol-free and fragrance-free.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nMy experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This cream felt rich and absorbed into my skin quickly, leaving a smooth matte finish. It\u2019s fragrance-free, but I noticed a gentle rice smell that was pleasant. Because of its thick consistency, the cream softened rough skin on my eczema-prone hands as well. It comes in a relatively large-size tube (70ml) but can still be carried in my bag easily. I also appreciate Goodal\u2019s sustainability efforts, as the cream is vegan and comes in recycled paper packaging.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n\n\nVerdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Out of all the products I tested, I\u2019m most likely to reach for Goodal\u2019s Vegan Rice Milk Moisturizing Cream<\/a> for its larger volume (70ml) and heavy texture as I often apply cream in a thick layer over dry skin all over my body. I had a similarly great experience with the highly soothing powers of Cos De BAHA\u2019s C1 Ceramide 1% Cream<\/a>, but the product\u2019s small size wasn\u2019t as appealing to me. I\u2019m also likely to use SOME BY MI\u2019s Beta Panthenol Repair Cream<\/a> again as a lightweight daytime face cream. Overall, these three creams from K-Beauty<\/a> brands were great at moisturizing my dry and eczema-prone skin thanks to their beneficial ingredients and gentle formulations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
