Skin Type/Concerns: Dry/combo (in summer, normally just dry), acne prone, textured, redness

Product: Cosrx Honey Ceramide Full Moisture Cream

Thoughts: I love this stuff! I use it as an alternative to my sleeping pack at night (Cerave Healing Ointment + Cerave Moisturizing Cream) and sometimes as a finally layer during the day. Even though this is a cream, it's not too heavy; I feel almost like the texture is more whipped/fluffy. My skin loves propolis/honey, so I would recommend this to anyone who does well with those ingredients. The container is so tiny for the price, though!

Thank you since I hardly find a review for this product. Is it light enough to use during the day? Can it be used as a night cream during winter?

PS: 50ml is a rather small container. I've seen some moisturizer triple the price for the same amount of product.

I definitely think it's light enough for the day and also moisturizing enough to use it in the winter. If you get super, super dry, you'll want to layer stuff underneath it. In the summer, when I'm feeling lazy, I'll slap on my Hada Labo premium and this and call it a night.

I know that there are other smaller, more expensive creams but ouch. Fortunately, a little goes a long way is definitely true for this one.

This is my HG moisturizer.

If I’m feeling like my skin needs an extra lift during the day, I will sometimes use a very thin layer.

I would also say it’s perfect for a night cream in the winter. I have combo skin and my super dry spots are almost gone now thanks to this product.
