COSRX - Balancium Comfort Ceramide Cream

I picked this up after starting Retin-A. I was using several thin, hydrating layers as part of my nighttime routine and heavier moisturizing to seal it in, but by morning my face would feel tight and dry due to the nature of Retin-A. I picked this up after reading a few reviews and am glad I did. It is a thicker cream with almost a balm-like texture, but it takes little effort to work into my skin and absorbs better than other thick products I've tried. Since starting this I've been able to increase my Retin-A usage and my face feels soft and happy in the morning. I'll continue to evaluate its use as we move into a more humid summer, but I think it will be perfect at night when the air conditioning is running, just like it's been amazing when we run the dry heat in the winter.

This is a heavy cream, perfect for winter nights. I have very dry combo skin. I only apply this cream to my dry areas. I do not apply to the center of my face which is oily, because this area will become even more greasier during the day. This smells like vitamin E cream, often used for baby rash.

love this cream, there’s no noticeable scent, it’s white and comes out like a thick cream but spreads like a creamy gel. doesn’t break me out and it’s moisturising. I recommend it for all skin. I have oily, dehydrated, acne prone skin, and it hits all the issues
