What the gurus are saying

This cream earns praise for its lightweight texture that hydrates without feeling occlusive, making it particularly appealing for oily and combination skin types. The ceramides, panthenol, and Centella work together for soothing nourishment and a calming effect. Those with dry or mature skin may find it less protective than heavier barrier creams if intensive barrier healing is their main goal.

"Next, I do a moisturizer. I do love this by Anua. Um, it's 3 plus camides. It's a barrier cream."

"This cream has some fatty acid content and Centella, which is a great anti-inflammatory ingredient, very soothing, particularly good for red and inflamed skin or irritated skin. And then there's some panthenol in here for hydration. This cream is very light with a good kiss of moisture to it, a lot of hydration. I do enjoy this cream and I really recommend it. That said, while it has all those good barrier supportive ingredients and that nice hydrating panthenol, texture-wise and protective feeling-wise for my skin, it's just not enough. It's much thinner, lighter, with very little [occlusivity]. I find so many barrier creams that will truly heal your skin and soothe not only your symptoms of dehydration but also help to heal your skin barrier tend to be a lot more dense and heavy and very occlusive, which might feel suffocating for more oily skin types. This one is lighter, which is why I like it and recommend it, just why I don't use it myself."

"This one is pretty good. If you have oily combo skin I think you would like this one more, but since my skin is more dry and mature, I personally like VT capsule cream better."

"I have not been disappointed with this at all. Now, in contrast to the other moisturizers I've talked about, this one feels a lot more hydrating."

"This is another one you could use as the top coat in a moisture sandwich, the Anua ceramide plus panthenol. It has ectoin in it, which is an ingredient that shows promise for helping to defend against pollution. This product has more of a hydrating feel compared to some of the others I reviewed. It also works great as an eye cream, and to moisturize the skin around the eyelids, it's great."
Yay
"Look at this ingredients list, it has ceramide ingredients in it plus some of those more synthetic ceramides, it's even got the lanolin alternative in it, and it's a huge tube. This is a moisture barrier cream for sensitive skin, and K-beauty is really coming through for dry skin lately. It's actually for dry skin but it's not super heavy, I really thought this was going to be exclusively for nighttime use, but it could work for day or night. That's going to be a big thumbs up for me."
