COSRX Balancium Comfort Ceramide Cream, 2.82 oz / 80g | Centella Asiatica Matte Balm | Korean Skin Care, Animal Testing Free, Paraben Free

To combat acne, I use 0.1% tretinoin, and I alternate between salicylic acid (1%) and benzoyl peroxide (2.5%) face washes. (My derm said both were okay, since they were wash off products.) However, I noticed when I put on a regular, light weight moisturizer, my skin would sting a lot. I found out that this was because my skin barrier was damaged. I wear sunscreen, and don’t use any harsh chemical products, so I knew it was most likely due to my skin being too dry from my regular skincare routine. I figured my usual moisturizer wasn’t heavy enough to keep my skin hydrated. So I borrowed some of my boyfriends eczema cream from La Rochay Posay. It worked wonderfully, but I didn’t want to drop 15$ on a bottle for myself, so I looked for a cheaper alternative. When I bought it, this cream was cheaper (8$, what a steal!) Although it’s since gone back to its regular price (14$) I love this product not only because it helped me repair my skin barrier, and keep my face hydrated, but also because I love the texture. It’s actually less like a cream, and more like a jelly. The consistency is a little bit similar to petroleum jelly, although not quite as “wet” as petroleum tends to be. And it glides on so smoothly. I only needed a pea-sized amount for my face. Once a day on most days, sometimes twice a day if my skin was super dry and irritated. Not to mention, the scent is a pleasant herbal smell. (No fragrance added tho!) I’ve also had no problems with it causing breakouts at all, despite the “heavy” consistency. Despite the price similarities, I would say I prefer this over the La Rochay Posay eczema cream, although both are great, high quality products.

i had been dealing with very irrirated, damaged skin from over exfoliating and overwwashing (i was new to the korean skincare routine). i tried two different cream. although temporarily slighty helpful, none of it could help heal my skin. So after reading up on damaged skin barrier, i knew i needed ceramides to help heal my skin. I found this balancium cream that contains ceramides and have been using it morning and night. The first time i put it on, right away my skin very so much better and not irritated. Within 2 weeks of using it, my skin has almost completely healed. It feels like a healing balm on my face. it is does leave a bit of a dewy surfance on your skin because of the natural oils in the cream. But it didn't clog my skin at all, especially considering i have oily acne prone , yet dry skin. I also use rosehip oil and mad hippie's antioxidant oil along with it to help feed more antioxidants to my skin. But the oils, when used by themselves , never took away the irritation or healed me skin as quickly as COSRX Balancium did. Love this stuff! it takes a bit to sink into the skin. and if you dont like having a dewy slightly oily feeling on your skin. then you may not like this. However, i like the slight oil, dewy feeling cause my skin feels great despite it. No heavy, cloggy feeling at all. It spreads very well. so well , in fact, you dont need much to spread each area of the face. just a small dab. i believe i can apply my mineral powder on top of it if i wanted to. though i havent tried it yet cause i dont wear makeup much. But i know my makeup can handle it cause i have applied it on a dewy surface before. So to conclude, if your face has a damaged skin barrier, irritated, dry, or dehydrated skin, this is very much for you.. I''m very acne prone, and it did not make me break out at all.

I absolutely love this stuff. I hate thick creams but I'm aging, and although this doesn't insta-absorb like I prefer, it feels really good on my face after a deep peel or something, which is saying something because I am hypersensitive to feeling stuff on my face skin. But it especially shines for me for my hands - I'm in healthcare and wash my hands a a lot and they fall apart in the winter :(((. it's such a nice mixture of absorbing and nourishing, but leaving just a little non-sticky, non-greasy protective barrier behind, and the price point is amazing for something of this quality.

This cream is very thick and hydrating , perfect for recovery night. Something in it very slightly stings sometimes, it could be the Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil but that's the last ingredient so I'm not sure. I do like it.

I couldn't find the Skinfood 100hr moisture cream and needed something lightweight, sensitive skin friendly, and found this product. The scent is pleasant and almost mildly spicy, the texture is very nice when patted into the skin after warming with the hands. You only need a small amount which means it lasts a long time as a daily moisturizer and the ceramides are something new I've wanted to try! I learned they help protect your skin so I've switched from retinols to ceramides and they give my skin a bit of the same plump, supple feeling I liked from retinol but MUCH more gentle. I'll buy this as long as it's in stock!

Love love love this product! It’s so hard to find a good quality moisturiser that really hydrates my skin. Most of the time I buy a product and I feel like it’s working but then 30 min later I feel dry and tight because my skin has already absorbed it. The smell is incredibly mild, it’s very thick so takes longer to absorb but goes on nicely under makeup and lasts all day once applied. I feel so rejuvenated with this product as I’ve not found anything else that hydrates me as much as this and it’s so gentle on my skin as well. Great value for money, you need half a pea sized amount, it’s so freaking good. And despite being super thick it doesn’t clog my pores. Definitely recommend to anyone with sensitive combination skin

Es muy hidratante, nada pesada y huele muy bien sin ser excesivamente perfumada

Siento que es una crema humectante perfecta para comprar sin miedo porque no es comedogénica. Ya la analicé en una app y no tiene los alcoholes y sustancias que tapan los poros. Tengo piel mixta con rosácea leve y las ceramidas de esta crema ayudan a recuperar la barrera de la piel dañada. Se siente calmante y absorbe rápido. El tubo es práctico hasta para tener en la bolsa. Se puede usar en rutina am y pm. Mis hijas con algunos brotes de acné la usan en sus rutinas cada x día. No sé cómo dieron con ella pero cuando tuve una crisis de no saber qué ponerme la probé y de inmediato la adquirí. Fue un alivio en medio de tantas opciones que hay en el mercado del KB. No sé si es el santo grial pero de verdad es una chulada. La uso hasta el cuello y me amanece la piel muy padre. OJO yo ya no compro KB en Amazon por los productos pirata pero esta crema de cosrx de este proveedor si es original. Y son los únicos que la tienen pronto y a precio promedio.

It is the second time l bought this cream. Just excellent, perfect for my dry skin, feel comfortable, l will buy it again.

Ho provato questa crema coreana alla centella asiatica e sono rimasta davvero colpita dai risultati. La consistenza è corposa, ma ne basta pochissima e si assorbe abbastanza velocemente senza lasciare residui appiccicosi e la pelle rimane idratata e morbida. La centella asiatica è un ingrediente noto per le sue proprietà lenitive e riparatrici, e posso confermare che la mia pelle appare meno arrossata e più calma, soprattutto nelle aree più sensibili. L’ho utilizzata principalmente la sera, dopo un peeling chimico al viso, e al mattino la mia pelle sembrava più tonica e nutrita. La crema ha un profumo delicato, quasi impercettibile, che la rende ideale anche per chi ha una pelle reattiva. Ho notato anche un miglioramento nella texture della pelle, che risulta più liscia e uniforme. È perfetta per pelli sensibili o stressate, e la consiglio a chi cerca un prodotto naturale e delicato ma efficace, soprattutto se si ha la pelle irritata o con tendenze acneiche.
