What the gurus are saying

A light, cooling gel texture that melts into the skin while still feeling deeply hydrating is the detail that comes up most. Oily skin can use it before makeup, though the warmest months may be a struggle, and drier skin finds it satisfying too. Fragrance is in the mix, so those who react to scent may want to take note, and it's a bit pricey, though a jar goes a long way.

"The belif True Cream Moisturizing Bomb [...] is a dupe and alternative, which I actually really like. It's got a much longer ingredient list than this one."
✓Yay
"This is their main product, a Korean national cream, they've sold 13 million jars of it. It's more of a gel cream for oily skin, and when I put it on, oh my God, so light and so cooling. [...] It's pretty good to use before makeup, and even if you're oily but feel dry underneath, you won't regret it. I still remember using this in my twenties, it was so popular back then. I love the texture, it feels so light and so cool."
✓Yay
"I'm really loving this one because it's a gel cream. Gel creams are perfect for the summer because they're more lightweight on the skin and feel more refreshing. But at the same time, depending on the formulation, they can also be very moisturizing and satisfying to use, even for those on the drier side. This is great for all skin types. It has hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. These two ingredients hydrate your skin, and the hyaluronic acid plumps the skin."
✓Yay
"I got another sample of the belif Aqua Bomb and used it today, and it reminded me of why I did like belif. This is such a good moisturizer for under makeup, it is so cooperative. If you also wear makeup you know you can run into moisturizers that don't get along with makeup, this one does."
✓Yay
"I enjoyed this, if I remember correctly I actually liked it, but it does have fragrance. I found it very hydrating, it has ceramides in it, and [...] oat kernel extract, which is really good for the skin. But it does have fragrance, and [...] when I tried this I liked it, but I prefer the Hydro Boost."
✓Yay
"I think if you've tried any belif products, it's probably this one. You can see mine is very well used. And years later, this still manages to live up to its hype and be a bestseller pretty much everywhere. If you've got skin that needs hydration, aka everyone, you're going to want to try this if you haven't already. This is [...] a lightweight gel cream, think of a gel cream but make it just that little bit thicker but not heavier on the skin. [...] This melts into your skin."

"The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb is one that used to be maybe too heavy for me when I was completely oily but now I'm more combination my skin's maturing changing with the weather as well the moisturizing bomb is like the perfect evening moisturizer for me. A few weeks ago I used this during the day because it was so cold and it was perfect, perfect at protecting my skin."

"It is a little bit pricey, but honestly my skin loves this. I love it. It goes a long way for a long time. It's very difficult to empty one of these. I do feel like it can be maybe 10 dollars cheaper, that's maybe more hopeful thinking, but my skin loves it. It's just one of those moisturizers you can reach for any day of the year, any month of the year, any morning, any time of day, morning, evening. It fits so perfectly into every routine."
Amazing Skincare Products We All Forgot About 💜 James Welsh
"I love the True Cream Moisturizing Bomb because it is so deeply hydrating without being heavy. It's a true morning, evening time moisturizer that you can kind of use as a night mask if you want to as well. But it's not too heavy during the day. Maybe those with oily skin will struggle during the warmer months, but in Winter, this is going to be perfect for me. This does have one of the longer ingredient lists I think I've ever seen in my life when it comes to a moisturizer."

"Belif's The True Cream Aqua Bomb is a perfect lightweight gel cream moisturizer that doesn't just disappear on the skin, with hyaluronic acid, glycerin and lady's mantle extract. I've been using it for years, but this year non-stop. It's hydrating, soothing and calming, and leaves your skin feeling very plump and dewy. I've actually got it on now."

"Belif's true cream aqua bomb was recommended to me by an esthetician where my skin barrier was messed up, I looked at the ingredients and thought there's a lot of things I don't really like in here, there's a fair few essential oils which my skin doesn't usually like, but for some reason my skin loves this."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
