What the gurus are saying

This cream earns praise for feeling light yet deeply hydrating, making it a solid middle-ground option for dry skin, especially in warm weather. Gurus highlight the panthenol and madecassoside (from centella) for their soothing power, and recommend it strongly for anyone with a damaged moisture barrier, eczema, or severe dehydration. One notes it's already popular across Korea and worth pairing with similar barrier creams if skin needs extra support.

"She also uses the Etude SoonJung Barrier Cream, another incredible product. I'm ninety nine percent sure I've used it before because you can find it all over Korea, it's really popular. I remember looking at the ingredient list and loving it. For anyone who has a broken moisture barrier, struggles with eczema, dehydration, or severely dry skin, this or the Illiyoon cream, or both together, are amazing to use."

"This comes in at about $15 to $18 for 60ml of moisturizer. This is a great line to look at for some affordable picks for really sensitive skin because they're extremely minimal types of formulas. Really formulated for irritated, sensitive skin in mind. And this moisturizer is a really good kind of medium option. If you do have oily skin that's really ailing with sensitivities, this would be a very healing cream for you. Combo skin that is maybe not leaning one way or the other, it would be good for you. Or leaning a little bit more on the oily side, it would be good for you. Balanced skin types. If you are very dry, this isn't going to feel like enough for you. This is on the lighter side. It is very healing and soothing, but is still pretty light."

"This has panthenol and madecassoside from centella, and it just feels so good on the skin. Somehow despite being so light, it's extremely hydrating. I think if you have dry skin and you're in a warmer season, you're going to love this product."
