DM.Cell | Super Moisturizing Cream | Hydro Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and EGF for Hydration, Plumping, Firming | K-Beauty Korean Skincare Award Winner | 3.52 oz/100gr

This moisturizer has the look and consistency of toothpaste and smells very medicinal. The smell isn't something I particularly like, but it doesn't linger too long and I got used to it agter a couple of days. The texture reminds me of a snail mucin moisturizer I once used but it has no snail mucin in it. It seems to melt into your skin as you apply it and I was surprised at how well it spreads. A little goes a very long way with this moisturizer. It seems to absorb well and doesn't leave me greasy or sticky. Because of that it's something I wouldn't hesitate to use in the morning under makeup, but I've been using it at night. It comes in a jar with no pump and no scoop like some creams come with these days, so I've been using my own.The ingredients are fairly focused, with only a few targeted "trendy" ingredients - hyaluronic acid, EGF, allantoin, and ginseng stem cells. It's got nice ingredients that are mostly extracts, it moisturizes well, and leaves my face feeling soft. I'm not seeing anti-aging effects, but that will take months with something like EGF. You get a lot of cream and a little goes a long way, so this is a pretty good value from that perspective.

Actually, I really enjoyed their microneedling EGF serum - with relatively high concentration of growt factors and decent result after recovery. So I was kind of eager to this cream, and hum.. it's like mixed feeling. Unlike many other people, I am not against sticky texture. Many companies actually added "gliders" like silicone oils (dimethicone) or glycol polymers (PEG XXX....) to enhance the texture, or they can added some short chain alcohols to make the product evaporate ( and gives cooling, hydrated and quickly absorb type of feeling.) So many times, EWG green label or clean beauty product gives sub-optimal texture due to this reason. I have a lot to talk about, so let's see the ingredient.Ingredients:I am sure everyone was looking for the EGF, and it is actually Rh-Oligopeptide-1. And you probably already know, skincare ingredients are written from the highest volume concentration to the least. Thus, the level of the EGF is very low to be effective. Further, considering the texture, I expect better formula than this. It DOES contain array or silicone, silicone polymer and PEG based silicone polymeretc. I am not against to silicone oils at all but if you add variety of them, then I expect the better texture. One of the cons of adding them is acne or pore-blockage issue. So, in terms of ingredient, is very dissapointing. It used chlophenesin as preservative, so be aware of it if it concerns you.Texture:As other reviewers pointed out, this one has very sticky texture. Again, I'm not against it since I have extremely dry skin but still, this crea has "comforting" type of richness. It feels kind of heavy at first BUT gets silky in the afternoon. So probably this is not for all, but if you have dry skin like me, then you will love it.Effectiveness:Yet, it keeps the moisture on the skin very long, and I feel like my makeup stay fresh longer with this cream then my old one. (Again, I have dry skin, so be aware of it.) In terms of "regenerative" effect, I am not sure but it does what it supposed to do - "super hydration."Overall:Okay. So when you are not 100% satisifed but still like it, then I think about the price. It is $29 for 100ml, like double size of other cream, so it is $14.5 for 50ml, which is a most common size of cream. So if you ask me whether it worths it or not, then answer is yes. It's $14.5 and works wonders on dry skin. If you ask me this is my holygrail, then it's tricky. I'm not 100% sure I really like the ingredient. But overall, it is satisfactory so I gave 5 stars.

I was very excited to try this moisturizing cream, only to find myself disappointed.You will see a very impressive list of ingredients there, but I just couldn’t get past a very strong and unpleasant fragrance.I also found the texture of the cream to be thick and not feeling comfortable on my skin.I considered using the moisturizer on my feet instead, but the scent was still too strong.

This is middle of the road for me. The packaging isn't premium, which does not bother me. The product feels like something I would but at the drug store. The price is not outrageous, but I don't see any difference between this and the $10 stuff I have used.

I am really enjoying this moisturizer by DM.Cell. It has a citrusy/herb scent that I find to be very refreshing and invigorating when I apply it to my skin. This cream is more on the liquid-y side, which some people may not like. However, I personally like the consistency of this cream and how it feels on my face. It’s a medium weight on my skin- not too light nor too heavy, which is perfect for me. And I love that it contains EGF (something that I definitely look for in skincare) as well as stem cells and other great ingredients. It’s also very generously sized, and affordably priced, which makes it a product that I would definitely want to repurchase in the future. Overall, I’ve been very happy with this product, and appreciate the introduction to this brand.

Although I'm a fan of many Korean skin care products, Maximizing Hydro Skin Repair Vita Cream doesn't exactly live up to its hypey name and product page. I don't mind the unglamorous packaging, but the cream itself disappoints. Although it has a silky feel initially, it doesn't absorb well and ends up leaving a sticky residue.Scent preferences are notoriously individual, and the smell of this cream also just doesn't work for me. It's an odd combination of medicinal and flowery - not overpoweringly so, but just enough to make me not want to have it on my face. So, I'll probably end up doing what I usually do with skin cream that doesn't make the grade: slathering it on my feet at night and donning a pair of cotton socks. I think it will be a perfectly good product for that.

I really like this skin cream. It goes on smooth and you can feel the moisture locked in and skin tone firm up after use. It comes with a good amount of product quantity for the price so I think it’s a good value. I have been switching over from western to more eastern products, especially Korean skin care this past fall. I like that Korean skin care is more gentle on my skin and has less harsh ingredients.The only con is that is smells really nice at first like a lime frozen drink, but then fades to a smell that kind of reminds me of a self tanner. Fortunately, that second smell doesn’t last too long.
