ETUDE SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream Original, Face Moisturizer, Shea Butter Hydrating Facial Cream for Sensitive Skin, Water-oil Balance & Panthenol, Korean Skin Care (2.02 Fl Oz)

This cream is a holy grail for anyone with sensitive, over-it skin. It calms, hydrates, and behaves beautifully with actives like tretinoin, peptides, and caffeine serums. No fragrance, no irritation, no weird film. Doesn’t sting when applied to peely, Tret-ravaged skin.It’s rich without being greasy, and actually feels like it’s doing barrier repair work. My face drinks it in like it just got out of a toxic relationship.BUT. THE. CAP.Once you open the flip-top? It’s never quite right again. It doesn’t snap shut, doesn’t click, just kind of… hovers there, forever loose and mocking you. (See pic) I’ve tried pressing, slamming it against the counter, twisting the lid back and forth (which turns the dispensing mechanism on and off - very cool), whispering sweet nothings—nothing works. It’s just defective. I now store it cap side up so it doesn’t leak.This is not how a $15–20 moisturizer should behave.⸻TL;DR:• Formula? 10/10• Packaging? Gremlin-engineered• Will I repurchase? Already have—because the cream is that good• Do I side-eye the cap every time? Also yes.If Etude ever fixes the cap, this would be perfect. Until then, apply lovingly and store cautiously.

The media could not be loaded. This product solves my face dryness and helps me bring back my long lost skin barrier. I was hesitant at first since always buying my korean skin care product outside amazon to make sure it’s legit. However, I did need it asap - glad that it all worked out, it’s the real one! Thickness:In between of lotion and creamStickiness:depends on how much you put in but it could be sticky for awhile then it settles in on your skin. Moisture level:Usually put it at night, in the morning your skin looks so vibrant, moisturized, and healthy.Value for money:Same pricing as other website - worth it! Why did you pick this product vs others?:In between dry and oily skin, using only at night and in the morning it gives the skin so much smoothness, moist, and feels more vibrant.

This has become my favorite moisturizer of all time. I use it daily, sometimes both morning and night. I wear it alone, mixed with hydrating toners, or mixed with a heavier cream at night. I just use it all the time. My skin is sensitive and prone to acne but there has been no negative reaction after several months of using this every day, multiple times a day. It's lightweight and nourishing without feeling heavy. It's lightly scented but it doesn't irritate my skin or eyes. It's very thin and spreads evenly, and dries with minimal stickiness compared to western brands. Of all my products, this has made the most difference (immediate and long-term) for my skin.

I LOVE THISSS. I have sensitive, eczema, combo skin and this doesn’t break me out. It adds extra hydration as well as calming irritation on my face especially when I’m using my retinoids which make my face really sensitive. It also adds a glow to my face. I usually wear this at night and wake up to glowy skin. Sometimes I wear it in the morning on top of my moisturizer and throughout the entire day my skin feels hydrated and looks glowy and soft. The consistency is not thick like a balm but more like a creamy slightly watery texture. I’m a korean skincare fanatic and I love thissss. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

I have been using this SoonJung Intensive Cream, and I really love it! My skin is usually very dry, but this cream keeps it soft, healthy, and well-hydrated. After using it, my face looks fresh and moisturized, and I no longer have to deal with dry or flaky skin.I also have sensitive skin, but this cream works perfectly without causing any irritation or allergies. It feels very gentle and soothing.Overall, I’m really happy with how well it works, and I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family!

This cream is a lifesaver for sensitive skin! It calms irritation, keeps my skin soft, and really helps repair my barrier without feeling heavy or greasy. I love that it’s fragrance-free and absorbs quickly—my skin feels comforted and hydrated every time I use it.

As a super sensitive and acne prone girl with combination skin, this has been one of the best moisturizers that hydrates my face deeply without making it super oily. Even with shea butter as an ingredient, my pores are not clogged and I have yet to break out, even though I usually react to it.It has a creamy but lightweight texture that calms irritation and redness, and I’ve noticed that my skin feels softer and more balanced since using it. I also love that it has minimal ingredients and no fragrance, making it safe for daily use even when my skin is flaring up. If you have sensitive, acne-prone, or easily irritated skin but still need moisture, this cream is definitely worth trying.I typically only use this at night, because it does tend to feel a bit oily when you put it on initially. This sensation fades after a while and makes my face super soft. A little definitely goes a long way.While other people don't really enjoy the cap, I actually really like it. It prevents me from accidently squeezing and wasting a lot of product.Highly recommendEdit: Beware for fakes. I bought my second tube and the consistency was not the same. The second tube also broke me out.

Hydrated my skin super well, but similar to other reviewers, it broke me out with closed comedones.
