"Illiyoon is a Korean brand that I absolutely adore. Their ceramide ato lotion is one of the first Korean body products I ever tried, and I absolutely adore this lotion. It has ceramides, you get quite a bit of product, and you can use it on the face. It is a little thick, and some people with oily skin may not care for that, but I use it on my face, no problem. It's a fragrance-free formula, and the pump [...] made its way down to the bottom pretty well so I finished it."

"Their body lotion, which might also be on sale, is another great one which you can use on the face. It's a big bottle with a pump, a real no-nonsense moisturizer with glycerin and dimethicone. You can't go wrong with that product."

"The main best seller here in Korea is the ceramide ato lotion, but global market is ato cream. So cream is a really thick, really thick. You have to like melt it this way. So what I prefer is actually lotion. So it's a preference, but I just put it like I use the cream and lotion both together. Uh so I make it as a set. See, I'm speaking together, so you can try together. Both are really work well."

My Entire K-Beauty Routine is Finally on Sale. (Labo H, Hera, Illiyoon)

"I tried many body lotions for my baby, Atopalm, Dermalex, you name it, Cetaphil, and I kind of understand the hype around Illiyoon. Last year in 2025 they reformulated it, so this is like the third generation. It used to be very popular but only okay for hydration, but after the reformulation it's amazing and the texture is lighter. If you haven't tried it yet and you have a teenager or a baby in the family, [...] just go ahead and get it."

"The Illiyoon repair lotion was my holy grail during pregnancy because I was worried about stretch marks. I tried some gift stretch mark creams that I felt just weren't working well, they were labeled as stretch mark cream but weren't as moisturizing and felt a bit sticky even in summer. [...] I did not get any stretch marks applying this repair lotion, and it's very affordable. The only thing is the scent can feel a little boring, so sometimes I mix in another hand cream to make it smell better."

"My favorite from this brand was their repair version, the gray one. If you have really dry, crusty winter skin, I highly recommend going with their repair version, it works a lot better."

"This is the bestselling body lotion at Olive Young in 2024, four years running, and it absorbs very silky and smooth. It says it's for dry sensitive skin but I can't agree, it dries too quickly. One advantage is it has no scent, but that's about it. [...] A lot of Koreans in the reviews say it's not enough for their dry skin, so they end up mixing in oil. It's popular because you can use it on face and body for the whole family, but I don't think it's worth the hype."

"For cream or moisturizer, I know you guys will think it's boring, but number one for me is the Illiyoon repair lotion. I use it every single day on my whole body and face, and I even gave it to my husband, who has an oily nose but a very dry body, and it works so well for him. It's a little scented but not too much. [...] Many people think Illiyoon is only for the body, but it works fine for the face too, so if you're struggling with dry skin, try it. It's a great product, don't forget that."

"The one on the right is famous for a lot of reviews on Amazon, but my holy grail is the one on the left, both are from Illiyoon, the same brand. If your skin is too dry no matter what you wear, trust me and try it. It's a large size so I use it for a long time, you can use it for the whole family, and I even use it on my face when it gets so sensitive."

"Shout out to Illiyoon, their body moisturizer, the ceramide ato lotion gel, is just absolutely phenomenal. It's a 12 ounce, really affordable product with a cool looking pump, and it feels amazing on the skin. If you're looking for a lightweight body moisturizer for the summer, I'd check this out."

"This is intensely hydrating and moisturizing. [...] This brand kind of takes me back to the earlier years of my channel and I love it. It's gentle and therapeutic enough to use on really sensitive skin, so I'm talking postprocedure, atopic dermatitis, eczema, and even babies can use this. But the texture and application is what I really love. It is so hydrating but it's also moisturizing as well. It just feels great on the skin, instantly calming and soothing."

"This is essentially the same formula as the cream version, just in a lotion texture, with the same focus on barrier repair through ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol. The moisturizing quality is incredible, [...] creamy, moisturizing, conditioning, softening, smoothing. I love using it when my skin is feeling irritated or dehydrated because I wake up with skin that's been replenished. Both of these are great, you can't go wrong with either."

"This lotion is so so nice and soft and I absolutely love it for the daytime, I am not somebody that likes to reach for a really thick barrier cream during the day, especially if I'm wearing makeup, I just feel like it doesn't pair well with makeup, so this is perfect for daytime for me."

What the evidence says.

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

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
