    Moisturizes well, but only very superficially
    I have been using SKIN1004 probio-cica ampoule every night for 1.5 years (and the "regular" one every morning as well as their cleansing oil in the evenings) and am super satisfied, but this cream was not good. I am around 50 and have dry skin that turns red in cold and with too little moisture. The cream feels rich and gives the impression that it should do what it’s supposed to, but after a couple of days of use, I experience that the skin feels tight, even though it is smooth and soft on the surface. I couldn’t continue using it. So I have gone back to my previous routine: alternating between Pyunkang Yul, klairs Freshly Squeezed vitamin E, and – yep! – Eucerin’s Atocontrol balm. It’s not really for the face, but wow, does it moisturize! Because of that, I only use it at night, as I suspect it wouldn’t work well with makeup. I do not recommend SKIN1004 Probio-cica enriched cream. Unfortunately.

    Makes my over-bleached, thousand-times-colored hair insanely soft
    I have East Asian hair, thick strands that are now brittle due to natural graying, but mostly because I've bleached it several times (to get platinum color on East Asian hair requires at least three bleaches), colored it pink, orange, purple, red, you name it. So my hair without aids is like a stiff, ancient floor mop. But,,, with this serum, the hair feels freshly cut, soft as silk, and looks (not is) healthy. I'm sensitive to products that leave a noticeable film on the scalp, but I don't experience that here. The hair feels.... natural (even though my hair in its natural form is coarse). It doesn't weigh down, but as I said, I have thick hair and have rarely experienced products weighing it down. I only use this serum in the line, not their pre-shampoo or similar. I vary shampoo and conditioner (all silicone-free). But this one stays.

    Good, affordable, and works under makeup
    I have been using it since the beginning of February, and now in mid-May it’s starting to run out. So it’s very economical. I have dry, middle-aged skin that turns bright red in winter if it’s not seriously moisturized. This product has really helped reduce redness. I use it together with SKIN1004’s centella ampoule and Klairs toner. Yes, it’s a bit hard to spread and doesn’t absorb super fast, but since I use primer (Banila co Primer Classic), it doesn’t matter. No rolling makeup, everything stays where it should. With this price and the generous packaging – and of course the results – I can only recommend it.

    Covered gray hair fairly well, poor durability
    Surprised that the majority (though not all) of the gray hair was covered by this. Good shine. Nice color. Easy to use. But it wasn't very durable. Noticed a big difference already after two washes (no shampoo, only conditioner). Had hoped for better durability (maybe four washes?), but overall I am satisfied.

    Good, but doesn't last all day
    First and foremost: I wanted a silicone-free foundation because it suits my sensitive skin best. Nars (shade Gobi) was color-wise a perfect match. The best result is achieved when I apply it with my fingers - better coverage and a smoother (hear and gasp!) finish. One pump is enough. It never gets thick and cakey, but incredibly natural. Unlike Nars Light-reflecting foundation in the shade Fiji (which I have now as winter paleness starts to fade), the shade Gobi does not oxidize, but maintains the same shade all day. However, the coverage doesn't last all day, despite well-prepped skin and primer. But, that's probably to be expected from a non-silicone product. Therefore, it gets a 4 and not a 5 rating.

    Too hard to work with
    The product is nice, with the right tone and pigment, but I found it way too hard to work with. It's a bit too "sticky" and therefore too much foundation (Nars Light Reflecting) comes off when the bronzer is blended out. It's a shame because many other things about it were good.

      Hey Zarah 🤗 How sad that it didn't quite work as you hoped 💗 The putty formula can be a bit special to work with, and sometimes a different application method can help. Maybe a damp sponge or warming the product a bit on the back of your hand first? ✨ Take care 🌞

    "Rolled" under makeup
    Wanted to like it. Very light consistency, but it rolled under makeup. So unfortunately. No more Purito for me.

    My go-to SPF
    This is so incredibly good. Moisturizes. It doesn't clash with makeup, serum, moisturizer, or ampoules. Absorbs quickly and has a light, fresh scent. I wish it came in larger sizes.

    Covers redness, but unfortunately created more redness too
    Yes, it is long-lasting, it covers redness, but unfortunately there was something in it that I reacted to, so I became even redder in the face after a few days. The redness has subsided now that I stopped using it. I used it before primer, but as the last step in skincare (including SPF).

      Hey Zarah! 🥰 It's really unfortunate that there seems to be something in it that your skin reacts to 🧡 It's so different what works for us when it comes to skincare, and if you don't have another cream that suits your skin, I can recommend our skin test that you can find in the Lyko app under the search function - Beauty Scan. There are our skin experts who can help find what might suit you best ✨ Thank you for sharing your review! Have a nice day 🌸

    Best I've tried on my short, straight Korean lashes
    So insanely good! I have short, straight Korean lashes. I've used Diorshow Iconic for over 15 years (love it!), tried Sensei 38° (didn't work for me), but this is the best I've tried. Long, curled, voluminous lashes. No clumping. No smudging. The only "problem" is that it's very hard to remove, I've had to buy new makeup remover. But that just means this is completely smudge-free. Crazy good!
