In October I updated my current skincare routine to include COSRX HYLARONIC ACID INTENSIVE CREAM as my daytime moisturizer. As much as I liked the formulation, I found it a little too intensive for day so I decided to add it to my night routine and it worked out well.
COSRX HYLARONIC ACID INTENSIVE CREAM (CLAIM)

HOW TO USE IT
I use it in the PM. I cleanse tone, apply my essence and treatment, then seal it with the HYLARONIC face cream.
HOW LONG DID I TEST THE PRODUCT?
October 21 – December 18th
FRAGRANCE
Unscented
SKIN TYPE
This moisturizer would complement dry skin, mature skin and sensitive skin. However, I would not recommend this face cream to oily skin or anyone with acne.
PACKAGING
Cute package.It comes in a screw top and a second lid where a small spatula is inserted. The spatula is used to scoop product of the jar to prevent contamination of the entire product.Fantastic!!!
REPURCHASE:
I would purchase it in the winter months because my skin needs the extra moisture during this season. If you have dry skin, you can use this product year round
RATING
4/5
CONCLUSION
PROS
1 it is very moisturizing.
2 Softens my skin the minute I apply it.
3. This product did not cause any break outs
4. Perfect for winter months when the skin is faced with harsh weather, this product reduces any sensitivity or dryness caused by the adverse weather
CONS
This product was too thick for daytime/warmer climate.When I applied it during the day, my skin felt “heavy” (for lack of a better way to describe it). It hugged my face, making me feel hot and a little uncomfortable when I wore it out in the sun so I switched it tonight time and it was a lot better.
I would definitely recommend this product during the winter /cold months especially if you have dry skin other than that I would advise a little caution if you are oily or have acne.
