When I purchased this, I was torn between Elixir's water cream and this one, but I ended up choosing this one because it contains fermented camellia extract, just like Ultimune. While the amount is obviously smaller, I personally prefer it. As Dr. Tomori describes my dry skin as oily, oily moisturizers leave my skin feeling slippery on the surface but dry underneath, causing roughness. Until now, my skincare routine consisted of a watery lotion, followed by a thin layer of a relatively non-greasy cream, then pressing down with tissue. Even then, I still felt oily and dry in some areas. Since purchasing this product, that feeling has disappeared, and my skin remains moisturized and smooth the next morning, which I was quite impressed with. It's smooth, even when combined with a slightly moisturizing lotion or serum, so I think I can now try lotions I've avoided because of their texture, even if the ingredients and effects are good. Also, this might be a bit unorthodox, but if you apply a thin layer of lotion or cream after applying toner and then this, it will moisturize your skin while also reducing the stickiness on the surface, so if you feel like your skin isn't moisturizing enough, why not give it a try?
