What the gurus are saying

This cream layers cleanly under sunscreen and works well in both morning and evening routines without leaving a tacky residue, making it a solid choice for anyone using actives or retinoids who needs barrier support. Dermatologists and skincare experts praise the creamy, lightweight formula as especially suited to dry winter skin and dehydrated complexions, and suggest applying a generous layer to keep your barrier protected. The high concentration of plant-derived extracts paired with hyaluronic acid delivers the nourishment these gurus consistently recommend for anyone looking to use just one moisturizer across seasons.

"The Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream is definitely a little bit creamier and more nourishing than the snail cream. It offers really intense deep hydration and nourishment to the skin. I don't find this one to leave that tacky feeling. It's a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid and plant derived oils meant to provide that deep nourishment. I really love the cream formula and it's very suitable to use with retinoids or with actives to support your skin barrier. It's a great one not only for nighttime but in the morning in particular for those with dry skin in the winter. I've used it in the morning and it works pretty well and layers nicely under sunscreen. It's got a high concentration of plant derived extracts that really helps to nourish the skin along with hyaluronic acid that's intended to hydrate the skin and improve that dry component. This is my personal favorite, and if you want to only pick one, my personal recommendation is this one."

"The COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream is a really nice one. It's fragrance free, and as long as you let it absorb, it actually layers very nicely under sunscreen. It leaves a little bit more of a nourishing residue on your skin, if that makes sense, but it does not make you look super shiny or feel greasy."

"This is a hydrating cream, highly recommended for the winter season and highly recommended for all of you with dry, dehydrated skin type. If you're using retinol and all your actives and peptides, you want to make sure to use this. In fact, layering it, you're going to see some great results. It has a creamy texture, not that much of a gel texture, and that is why I recommend this for dry, dehydrated skin. The formula is lightweight so you can use it morning and evening, and you may want to use a thick layer of this to make sure your skin barrier is always protected."
