Experience guaranteed first hydration this autumn and winter with Laneige's Cream Skin.

During the sweltering summer, I used light toners to control excess sebum, oiliness, and grease.

Then, as September arrived—a time when the days signaled autumn despite the heat—I started to feel dryness overall. I could really feel the change of seasons on my skin—once when I woke up and once after washing my face. I felt a rough texture and a sense of the surface drying out.

 

 

Although the temperature and humidity still seem to be coexisting with summer, my skin has already felt dry, so I have been using this well since last year Laneige's Cream Skin - Cerapeptide Refiner I took it out again. I found out about this product from a beauty YouTuber whose skin condition and personal color are similar to mine, and whom I consult for cosmetic advice. I saw her promoting this product and thought it might be suitable for me, so I bought it. I was also even happier to purchase it because it was available on Unnie Deal.

 

 

When I first saw it, it reminded me of the milky color of *Milkis*. It had a pale, runny texture. Although it is said to be drying, I usually dislike products that are viscous or heavy, so I welcomed the fluid consistency. However, because of its pale color, I wondered if it might feel oily when applied to the skin, but it absorbed immediately, leaving a soft and refreshing finish.

 

 

 

When my skin is dry, I find it beneficial to have a soft texture with just the right amount of oil. I realized that if I adequately replenish oil and moisture from the very first step of my skincare routine—using toner—to comfortably hydrate my skin would feel more at ease and less irritated, even if I used functional cosmetics instead of just moisturizing products during the subsequent serum, ampoule, and essence steps. Sure enough, after consistently using Cream Skin in my fall, winter, and spring routines, not only did my skin feel comfortable, but it also served as a foundation that allowed the functional products to truly shine.

 

 

I used the cream skin in three ways.

 

 

1. After cleansing and a toner pad, apply cream toner

I have combination skin (oily T-zone, dry cheeks), and I found that using a toner pad to refine my skin texture on the sides of my nose and my entire face after cleansing made my face look much cleaner and better. After doing that, I found that using this cream-skin instead of my serum, ampoule, or essence was more than sufficient. This is because the cream, containing both ceramide and peptide ingredients, is soft while providing ample nourishment and hydration. Since I didn't need to exfoliate as much, I think I used this method for quite a long time during my evening routine.

 

 

2. First moisturizing cream/skin after cleansing

Even if I apply the cream toner immediately after washing my face, it absorbs instantly. When I look at my skin, it feels hydrated, yet leaves just the right amount of oil and a smooth texture on the surface. It feels neither heavy nor light, leaving my skin soft and firm deep down. I mainly use this in the morning to create a solid base before applying makeup.

 

 

3. Spray as a mist

I had a bit of product left over, so I sprayed it on both my face and body like a mist, and it provided great hydration. They sell a separate mist pump, but since my bottle is an older version, it didn't fit. I just poured it into an empty spray bottle to use. However, my husband actually enjoyed this even more than I did. Whenever he leaves early in the morning, he carries it around saying he needs to spray it in the car on his way to work. He has very oily skin but dislikes reapplying cosmetics, so he asked for something he could use effectively with just one product, and I gave him this right away. He said that spraying it whenever he felt like a cream skin mist gave him just the right balance of oil and moisture. He is even more satisfied with it because it is scentless.

 

 

 

This is the Cream Skin that I have been using well, perfectly tailored to my needs. Whenever I take this product out, it makes me feel like it is time to wrap up the year. While I could technically use it year-round, I think its true value is best appreciated in autumn and winter. Now that I'm in my 30s, even though I have combination skin (oily T-zone and dry cheeks), I find I can't completely eliminate oiliness. I believe maintaining a proper oil-water balance keeps my skin barrier from suffering as much, so I don't have to worry about my skin. With just one smart product like Laneige Cream Skin, I moisturize without worrying about my skin. I plan to continue using it well this autumn and winter.
