What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise the texture as lightweight yet moisturizing and appreciate its suitability for morning routines and most skin types. A key complaint centers on the fragrance disclosure: the product is marketed as fragrance-free and sensitive-skin friendly, but contains fragrant extracts including geranium oil, citronellal, geraniol, and linalol that offer no skin benefit. A few users reported initial irritation that improved with repeated use.

"This used to be my favorite serum and then they changed it. I was ready to be very dramatic about it. But I'm on my second bottle of the new version now and honestly it's basically the same, which is very good news. The original was more about hydration, skin barrier support, that healthy plump glowy dewy finish as well as helping pores look more refined with a gentle daily exfoliation using PHA. And that hasn't changed. The texture is still the same. It's still that greeny color. It smells and feels the same on the skin. Super lightweight. Doesn't peel. Sits nicely in a routine. Layers up with everything so, so nicely. They changed it, but they definitely haven't ruined it. Slightly updated, but honestly, feels no different. Same results. I still like it."

K-Beauty Keeps Evolving...And I’m Obsessed Again! 😍
"They've patented this moisturizing sugar tech and it really really works. I've used a lot of creams. At first it feels standard, but the hydration really does last. This has become just my daily go-to moisturizer because I know I can rely on it. It's like a soft water rich cream. Very spreadable. Quickly absorbs. Leaves your skin feeling very plump without the stickiness. A bit of a dewy sheen but more natural. Your skin just feels hydrated from the inside out, not just coated in product. We have squaline in here, peptides, betaine, hyaluronic acid, more barrier loving ingredients too. It's just so lightweight, but somehow quite exclusive at the same time, like enough to lock in moisture and all that hydration and the eight types of hyaluronic acid. I bought two more from Olive Young because I love it so much."

"This one's got chamomile for soothing, alantin for soothing. It's got gazelene, which is a really nice strong soothing ingredient. It's got mattoicide, great soothing, antioxidant, regenerating ingredient. It's got green tea as well as some peptides in there. It's really nice, really affordable. My skin tolerated it, but that doesn't necessarily mean that all sensitive skin will. I would say this one is more geared towards oily skin types."

"They've been calling this fragrance-free and marketing as great for sensitive skin. But it has no fragrance, it does contain fragrant extracts even in small amounts. For so long, this brand's let everyone say they're fragrance free, this product is fragrance free and great for sensitive skin. Meanwhile, they've snuck in four ingredients that they are now disclosing are in this product: geranium oil, citronellal, geraniol, and linalol. None of those ingredients have any benefit to skin. There are certain ingredients that can have a scent that are actually good for your skin, but geraniol, linalol, geranium oil, they are not benefits for skin whatsoever."

Worlds HOTTEST KOREAN SKINCARE - K-Skincare You Have To Try
"Honestly, for me I think it's a lot of faf, a lot of mess for not a whole lot of hydration. It feels nice, don't get me wrong, it feels nice, and a little goes a long way so one of these little pearls or balls will do the whole face and neck. But oh my God, it is fragrance overload. There are seven different fragrant components within that and it is fragrance overload. So I would say if you're someone with very sensitive skin, you're sensitive to fragrance, this is a firm pass. For everyone else, it's nice, it's gimmicky, it's got some nice hydrators in it. I just don't think it's that amazing if I'm honest. It does plump up the skin and does make the skin feel really nice afterwards, but I just think that fragrance is too, too much."

"It doesn't have much olusives. The seventh ingredient in here is niacinamide, so that's where the strength barrier effect is coming from. Everything else in this product is a fraction of a percent, but it is a NAF safe product, meaning no denatured alcohol, no fragrance, and no essential oils. This is very important for skin of color because we can't afford any irritation to our skin. So, I'd say this is a hydrating moisturizer. It's NAF safe. It's very light. I don't like the packaging. It would be better if it was in an airless pump from a hygiene perspective, but I would give this a nice 8 out of 10 because it does what it says. They haven't given you outrageous claims which they haven't matched. They've matched quite reasonable claims."

Rating My Empty Skincare with Emojis! 😍💩😒
"It's jam-packed full of great barrier supportive ingredients. This is actually a product that is multi-purpose so it can immediately address irritation but it can also help to strengthen your skin over time, helping to keep it more hydrated in the long run, strengthening your skin's moisture barrier. But it's also a protective product that has a heavy focus on antioxidants. Antioxidants really help us face the world essentially, it helps protect our skin from environmental stressors, it helps protect our skin from damage from the sun, helps protect our skin from damaging inflammation, and that is like the hidden cause of aging that we don't always talk about. Inflammation can damage the skin so much and speed up the aging process on the skin. So this is an all-in-one, especially for somebody like me who has sensitive skin, I can be very dehydrated, my moisture barrier can sometimes be weak, but I also have aging goals. This does it all."
Barrier Care for Cold Weather Skincare Routine
"This texture is so beautiful and buttery. You can see it still has a little bit of thickness to it even after running it across my skin, so you can tell that it's going to be really thick. It's definitely richer than Cave Moisturizing Cream, and I think it's even slightly richer than the Illiyoon cream. It has this beautiful kiss of silky creamy richness and butteriness. It just melts into my skin but it feels really nourishing and comforting."
Testing 5 Dupes for Laneige Cream Skin Refiner OG Formula!
"The Purito is a lot lighter, less heavy, I think even less dewy. It's still absorbing, but the way that cream skin feels is like it almost dives into each and every little pore and just goes with moisture, like it just fills it with moisture and that feels amazing if you have dry skin. Purito doesn't have that kind of quality. It just has that nice light kiss, it's kissing the top of your skin with just a hint of moisture. Purito feels lighter, there's a little less of that rich layer. It wouldn't be my first choice for a replacement, but it might be a nice lighter alternative if the original formula ever felt greasy for you."

"When your skin barrier is a little bit more tested, a lot more weak, or possibly damaged, or you're struggling with tretinoin or retinoid uglies, you're starting that journey and you're getting a lot of peeling and flaking, and all of a sudden your skin is craving a lot more moisture than you're used to, a product like this would be perfect for that type of situation."
Bifida Ferment | Healthy Skin Faves
"This is actually one of the very first Purito ferment focus products I ever tried quite a few years ago now. It's gone through a little bit of a reformulation with the ingredients and new packaging since I've tried it, but quite honestly this new formulation really reminds me quite a bit of the older version. I haven't really noticed too much of a difference in performance. Where I really notice the difference is with sensitive skin, which I do have. My skin is easily sensitized and can easily be irritated, and my barrier can naturally feel a little bit on the weak side. One of the benefits I noticed with using this serum consistently is that it really just makes your skin feel stronger over time. It can just take it a little bit better than it used to be able to. It just doesn't get as easily irritated when it's faced with lots of allergens or pollution or lots of sun. It really helps your skin feel strong but also look incredibly healthy. Your skin is just looking bouncy and bright and beautiful and radiant, that type of glowy. This absolutely brings that out in your skin because it's working on the internal health of your skin."

"One of my favorite moisturizers for people who have oily sensitive skin or skin that is like very reactive needs to be soothed is the Purito Deep Sea Pure Water Cream. When it comes to skincare products that have oats in them or oat-based ingredients tend to be quite soothing. Oats have an anti-inflammatory property so I love that about this particular gel. It also has panthenol which is incredibly soothing for the skin. I envision the person who uses this and loves this is someone who is oily has sensitive skin doesn't like to feel a lot of products sitting on their skin. If I think about my acne prone patients who have oily skin I think they would love something like this especially if they're using like prescription acne medications and their skin's being a bit reactive. This will calm their skin and also play nice with the oily skin tendencies that they have. The texture on this is so beautifully lightweight. If you live in a more humid climate or you're traveling somewhere more humid this is lovely. It's also 3.38 oz so travel friendly."

"This one is calming as well as hydrating. I absolutely love it. It's such a cult classic. If I had to pick one it would be this one. I think that these are my favorite. These are brilliant, these are good, and quite affordable as well. You use so little of this product like a serum you would use more, but you're only doing a few shakes of this particular. If you're combining them this will last for months and months and months and months. For all my dehydrated mature skin gals, if you don't have Essence in your life, you need to. It's a new love."

"I am already falling in love and look at the price point, $7. Where has this been all my life? I have my eye on the centella asiatica gel cream. I mean, I always love a good gel cream, but specifically with centella asiatica. I want to see if this one's fragrance free. You guys, this ingredient list is no joke. What I also really like about Purito is that they put the ingredient list in English on a sticker on the outside of the box, so you know this skincare is like legit coming from Japan, which is music to my ears."

"What I don't love about it is that it does have Menthol, but it's so low on the ingredient list that I'm hoping it's not super strong. So I opened it up and right at the front it says made in Korea, but this is definitely Japanese. The packaging is not Korean. It's so pretty, and I'm trying to see how strong the menthol is. Oh my God, I feel like I'm smelling Vicks. That is so strong. Oh my God, you guys, I feel like I just poured Listerine all over my hands. I feel like my eyes are burning. Even though it feels like a beautiful consistency, the smell is not going away. It's really lingering, and I thought because Menthol is so low on the ingredient list that it would just be a very light smell, but this is strong. I'm so sad, I really wanted this to be good. I mean, I'm sure it's fine, but I know in the past my skin has had not the best reactions to Menthol, and it's just not a great ingredient to have in skincare regardless. At least this product was not expensive, so it's not a huge loss that this one doesn't work."

"The Purito Deep Sea Pure Water Cream contains 50% centella asiatica extract along with 2% niacinamide that can help to strengthen the skin barrier, it's anti-inflammatory, may offer some improvement with uneven skin tone. It's just a really all-around hydrating but yet lightweight cream that you can use but offers good support. It's not like super lightweight where you feel like your skin still feels dry and tight afterwards. It's really lightweight, it's non-sticky, and I sometimes will use this as my moisturizer all over my face when my skin really is irritated and I want just a moisturizer with some active ingredients that can calm and soothe the skin. You can also use this to spot treat areas that are really just irritated."

"Contains 80% mugwort extract along with vegan squalane and a really nice elegant formula that absorbs quickly. It's a gel cream, so better suited for more combination oily skin. It is also fragrance-free, so certainly can be used by everyone, even those with more sensitive skin and rosacea-prone skin. Tremella mushroom has great humectant hydrating properties and some say even better than hyaluronic acid, and also this has great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as well. When I think of tremella mushroom and skincare, the thing I first think about is just skin hydration, skin plumping, like hyaluronic acid and mugwort."

"Look at how thick this is, this is phenomenal. I like this on my face, you know, I can pat it on, it's fine, but this is amazing after my everything showers. When I get done with my everything shower my skin is already a little bit hydrated, a little bit moisturized. This is one of the most amazing body moisturizers I've ever used. Because it has this texture and because it's so inexpensive I can actually afford to put this all over my body. If you need a lightweight body moisturizer and you love K Beauty, this is one of the best priced and the most fun to use right after the shower. It makes my skin look and feel amazing. It actually absorbs but it keeps my skin soft and it doesn't leave me feeling sticky. This has revolutionized my everything shower."

And it's the algae extracts that are La Mer's claim to fame and the texture to me is very similar. This is a really good moisturizer if you have oily skin and you want something rich but not heavy. It's very lightweight but deeply hydrating. It has hydrolyzed collagen which just helps with water retention. No niacinamide you guys that are sensitive to niacinamide and cannot escape it. I was very happy with this. I ended up using it a lot on the face, neck, and also arms and legs."

Would I Buy It Again? Derm Empties Review
"This is a fragrance-free rich moisturizer with ceramides, which are lipids good for the skin. They're naturally in your skin, but applying them in your moisturizer may help your skin barrier get back on track a little more efficiently. It also has panthanol, a B vitamin that's very moisturizing. And it has ectoin, which is an extremolite that helps certain little critters survive in extreme environmental conditions like high salt waters or very freezing cold temperatures. It's an antioxidant and it creates these little hydration shells around things, ultimately helping to retain moisture ideally in the skin much better. It's a trendy ingredient right now, but a trendy ingredient that actually has some data behind it."

The Best Moisturizers For Sensitive Skin 2025
"This does have niacinamide if you're sensitive. I used it on my face nightly for about 3 weeks. And then I tried using it on the body and I was like, wow, can we get this in a large pump bottle or a large jar? Because it ended up being a really good body moisturizer for me. It really did help quite a bit with improving the appearance of the skin, not only on my face, but on my body. Panthenol helps with healing and recovery. It has copper tripeptide 1 in it which is a peptide that shows promise for improving wound healing. Bamboo extract may be rich in amino acids, which help with moisture retention. For me, it's a great no-nonsense fragrance-free facial moisturizer that really actually looks good on the skin. It's not oily or emollient, but it gives the skin that kind of gloss and it helps lubricate the skin surface. Really good on the neck where you have a lot more friction that can contribute to barrier issues."
Shopping For Korean And Japanese Skincare
"They have Purito here. Now, this mighty bamboo panel cream. This is really good. It's I've talked about it in my video on Korean moisturizers for sensitive skin. It is actually a little bit more lightweight in comparison to like a really thick rich balm, but it's very soothing."
Skincare I Used Up 🗑 EMPTIES 2023
"I had the hardest time keeping this away from my upper lip. I would put petroleum jelly there as I always do to serve as a barrier, but inevitably some of this would end up making its way right here in the Cupid's bow and giving me the worst little patch of irritation, and it almost looked like I had a cold sore whenever I use this. So I would not go out of my way to repurchase that."
Dermatologist-Approved Skincare Gift Guide 2025 🎁
"This is a fantastic fragrance-free moisturizer that is of the ilk of like a richer night cream, but also super lightweight. I think it's a great option for anybody who has acne prone skin where they've got an impaired barrier. They're experiencing heightened sensitivity, but they don't want something like super heavy like a full-on balm on their face. Panthanol is very moisturizing and centella asiatica is anti-inflammatory and soothing and supports healing."
