| I scanned the Korean text on Google translate |
Most of the info was identical to the English.
except for the directions, The Korean text gave more directions to put the product on your hands before rubbing lightly on your skin and patting the remaining contents for absorption.
The English directions were to use twice a day or as needed to soothe dry, uncomfortable skin.

| slimy and stickiness of the cream |
Since this is an all-in-one cream, you won't need to use it along with other products. This one is enough (at least, that is how I felt when I used it).
impression:
- the cap/lid is metal, but the container is plastic
- extremely sticky
- smooth on skin
- skin takes a few seconds before it fully absorbs the product
- makes skin feel so soft and smooth
In the beginning, I really hated the stickiness of this cream. It is called a cream but it has a gel texture (which I like) but the stickiness needs getting used to. It also left a thin residue layer on top of my skin. This cream did not irritate my skin or eyes at all. It is gentle yet effective.
It took 2-3 days before I started seeing the efficacy of this product.
Eventually, I got to really like this cream because it made my skin feel so soft and smooth. It got rid of all the dry patches and crustiness. I can look past the stickiness π

This cream is viral for a reason, and it is viral for all the right reasons. It works very well, it corrected my winter dehydrated skin and even improved the condition of my skin. If you haven't already, please give this product a try and don't let the stickiness prevent you from overlooking its benefits :).
Score: 9.8/10
