When you are in the category Moisture Magic: Moisturizers, it's really hard to speak about holly grail to recommend for everyone, as everything is very-very subjective here. Purito Deep Sea Pure Water Cream is what my oily dehydrated skin has chosen. And it is the only cream so far that I don't feel on my skin. I hate the feeling of mask. Purito Cream is light and hydrating, so it decreases oiliness and keeps my pores clean due to sea water in its contents.

Are you as suspicious about gel-textured creams as I have been? Let me introduce you to ISOI ACNI Dr. 1st Speedy Gel Cream. It was the second silicone-free gel-cream I'd tried. And I can list several points, why I like it and why I see ACNI Dr. as a perfect summer moisturizer for combination and oily skin: — the cream has gel-to-water texture melting into the skin; — ACNI Dr. Is packed with handful of certified herbal extracts; — some of these extracts gives the cream a cooling effect; — faint rose scent is no perfume, but natural Bulgarian rose oil; — the cream is good at soothing inflamed acne. We like to use ISOI ACNI Dr. 1st Speedy Gel Cream in combination with pink Blemish Serum from the same brand, as they really complement each other. P.S.: the first gel-cream I was amazed with was Isntree Onion Newpair Gel Cream)))

Before trying it I was skeptical about Isntree Onion Newrepair Gel Cream. But now I'm even more convinced about Isntree being one of the best brends for my oily dehydrated skin. INGREDIENTS: The full list is on the fourth slide. But the thing I want to highlight here is that's the rare gel-cream not head to toe packed with silicones, what I really appreciate. Hate any kind of rubber finish on my skin. 😁 TEXTURE: It's not really a gel, but a custard-like semi-opaque substance of subtle lilac hue. When touching the skin the gel turns into a fluid with heuronic feeling that is quick to absorb. Somehow the Onion cream is both dense and weightless. MY IMPRESSIONS: I'm using it day and night now. And together with Isntree TW-Real Bifida Ampoule it helped me to pass this month without hormonal acne, which speaks better of their effectiveness then hundreds of praisings on ideal skin 😶‍🌫️

Probio-Cica line — gourmand pleasure for your skin. Why I call this line gourmand? Maybe, because of fermented centella? Or upper end quality and pricing? Not at all. That's because of the textures 🥰 They are unique. Step 3: Cream (my favourite) Weird cream that doesn't melt but feels as if applying whipped egg whites onto your skin. I'm serious 🤣 The ceramides here's made the structure firm. It may even seem that the cream will never penetrate your skin. However, in a few minutes it mingles so naturally, you won't even notice any heaviness. And the cream gives this velvety touch to your skin.🥹 It is hard to make final judgments only after two-week use of the line, nevertheless my overall impression is more than good. My skin feels quicker and easier. Dry patches has gone and my pores are not clogged. Promising, I'd say 🤎

Now it's time to speak about the reasons for my frustration concerning the Red Bean Water Gel by Beauty of Joseon. I wanted it so much. It has that marvelous non sticky jelly-gel texture, that innovative ingredients and that marvelous pinkish hue. It is claimed to be oily skin oriented and not comedogenic. An ideal product for me. Perhaps, I expected too much, or maybe I'm just in bad terms with silicones. But after using it for a while, I'd noticed that my pores felt as if clogged till the end of the day. When scratched, transparent beads came out. Not comedones, for they are more yellowish. These beads couldn't even be dissolved by washing, only removed. The cream also lacked hydration. It didn't prevent oiliness, instead it just absorbed the sebum. Definitely, the cream for oily skin shouldn't be like that.
