Amorepacific Berry Watery Cream - Soothing Repair Hydration Moisturizing Cream for Winter - Strengthens Skin Barrier - Long-lasting Moisturizing - 1.7 Oz

This cream is so amazing. It smells so good. It has a nice clean scent. It makes my skin, so soft. It’s very moisturizing and non-greasy.

For reference, I have sensitive, acne prone, combination skin.And I have found my new holy grail moisturizer.The Alpine Watery Cream is a highly moisturizing, rich cream that somehow soaks in with no waxy or greasy residue. It leaves my skin plumped and prepped for makeup with no weird residue or balling up under my makeup products, but moisturizers enough to smooth my dry patches (without causing too much creasing or patchiness of my foundation).I’ve used the Watery Cream at night, after cleansing and retinoids and acids, too. Even with my very sensitive skin I’ve had no reaction, and it hasn’t changed the efficacy of my other skincare products when I layer them. Just be sure to let any acids or treatments fully soak in before moisturizing - I give it a good ten minutes before applying the cream.I’m VERY sensitive to fragrance in face products and let me tell you, this smells divine. It has a fresh, light herbal scent. Like juniper and cypress, slightly cooling when applied? But the fragrance fades quickly and doesn’t seem to be artificial, I believe it’s essential oils or smells very near to it. A+ for an appealing, refreshing scent that doesn’t bowl me over or make my eyes water!This is a rebuy for me. It’s less oily than many rich creams, more pleasantly fragranced than your average drug store product, and feels more emollient and with a better finish under makeup than my previous favorite natural skincare brand. It’s also an excellent value, because a pea sized amount for your face and another pea for your neck and décolletage is PLENTY.I had never heard of Primera before, and now I want to try their whole line. Wow wow wow.

Primera is a sub-brand of Amorepacific, a South Korean beauty and cosmetics conglomerate. I've tried and liked products from their other brands including Sulwhasoo, Laneige, and innisfree, so I was interested in trying out a Primera skincare product.This Primera Alpine Berry Watery Cream is a glossy white in color, and comes packaged in a frosted colorless jar. The texture is lightweight and has an almost gel-like consistency. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a sticky or greasy residue, and works well under makeup.The ingredients contain niacinamide for brightening, squalane for moisture retention, and urea for hydration.On the potential drawback side, the ingredients also contain fragrance. The floral scent smells nice and not overpowering, but it can potentially an irritant for those with sensitive skin.Also, there are a few ingredients, including stearic acid, that are potentially comedogenic for those with acne-prone or oily skin.It's made in Korea and the best by date, which is more than 2 years out, is clearly marked on both the bottom of the jar and one side of bottom of the outer box. The ingredients are printed in English on a label affixed to the outer box.The ingredients are:Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Squalane, Bis-Hydroxyethoxypropyl Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride, Sucrose Polystearate, Dicaprylyl Ether, Methyl Trimethicone, Urea, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Glyceryl Stearates, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Glyceryl Undecylenate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Xanthan Gum, Glyceryl Caprylate, Fragrance, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Limonene, Sorbitan Isostearate, Disodium EDTA, Linalool, Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry) Fruit Extract, Citronellol, Myristic Acid, Arachidic Acid, Geraniol,1,2-Hexanediol, Tocopherol, Citral, Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Leaf Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil

Everything by this company is of exceptional quality.Love the box it comes in explaining what the ingredients are meant to do. The color palette on the box are jar are nice.This cream is clean luxury! Watery cream doesn’t mean it’s watery of texture, it just means it’s more of a cream than a thick balm!When I say it’s hydrating, it’s really hydrating. My skin felt good and moisturized all day. The wrinkles around my eyes are not as noticeable.I have very dry eyes and this feels so good and relieving around them!my skin feels so good! I would put this up against any high end luxury creams! Some of the first ingredients are squalane and niacinamide which is good for moisture and inflammation! The box and jar tell you the key ingredients and what they do. I’ve heard great things about phytosterols and artic berry extract.I have been using a “good cera” cream for a long time due hormonal issues changing my skin, I thought it was the holy grail but this cream has changed my mind. I’m aK beauty lover and I’ve used every type of cream. , even luxury creams.In my opinion, this product is exceptional. Honestly,I will use it from now on!
