S.NATURE Pore Refining Moisturizer for Dry & Sensitive Skin – Squalane Hydrating Face Cream, Tightening & Smoothing Pores, Lightweight Korean Skincare, 2.02 fl oz

At 52, post-menopausal, with mature dry skin, hydration is one of the biggest things I look for in a moisturizer. I’ve been ordering this cream from Olive Young in Korea for ages, so I was genuinely happy to see that I can now get it on Amazon. This is not a new discovery for me. It is a cream I already know and absolutely love. For dry skin, squalane is one of my favorite ingredients. It helps soften the skin, supports moisture retention, and gives that comfortable, cushiony feeling without making the face feel coated or greasy. This cream does that so well. The texture is exactly what I want in a daily moisturizer. It feels nourishing but not too heavy, spreads easily, and leaves my skin looking hydrated, smooth, and healthy. It gives that soft glow Korean skincare is known for without looking oily. It is important to be realistic: this is not a miracle cream that erases your age or makes wrinkles disappear overnight. No moisturizer does that. What it does very well is hydrate deeply enough that dry lines look softer, skin looks plumper, and the whole face has a fresher, smoother look. On mature dry skin, that can make a very visible difference. This gives me that Korean “glass skin” glow people always talk about. Not glittery, not greasy, just hydrated, bouncy, healthy-looking skin. When my skin is well moisturized, everything looks better: texture, tone, fine lines, and makeup application. I also think this cream is proof that more expensive is not necessarily better. I’ve tried luxury moisturizers that cost far more and did less. Price and prestige packaging do not always equal better performance. Sometimes a well-formulated Korean cream at a reasonable price can outperform products with much bigger marketing budgets. Who is this best for? Dry skin, mature skin, dehydrated skin, sensitive skin, or anyone who wants glow and comfort without using a harsh active. It is also great for people who love Korean skincare and want a moisturizer that focuses on hydration, softness, and barrier support. Who may not love it? Very oily skin types may prefer something lighter. If you want a strong active treatment cream or dramatic wrinkle correction, this is more about moisture, glow, and skin comfort. This is one of those products I keep coming back to because it simply works. Great hydration, softening comfort, and that glass-skin finish I love—and I’m thrilled I can now get it more easily on Amazon.

Wow. My friend recommended this to me. This is the best and most affordable moisturizer I've ever used. I have very sensitive skin and I get little irritated bumps easily. I wanted to use up a whole tube of this before writing a review to make sure it performed well. I can now officially say my skin has never looked better, it is moisturizing without being greasy, this caused zero irritation, no bumps, no breakouts. I hope it never becomes discontinued because my skin needs this stuff.

I genuinely enjoy the way this feels on my skin. The texture is lovely. It has a lightweight, silky consistency that smooths onto the skin effortlessly and absorbs quickly. There is no greasy residue, no heavy film left behind, and it layers well under makeup. It is the kind of moisturizer that works great for daytime use because it refreshes the skin without weighing it down. I notice my face feels soft, smooth, and comfortable right after applying, and it holds up well throughout the day. For normal to combination skin types, this will feel right. It also does not leave your face greasy looking or feeling. It works well under makeup and does not pill! If you are someone with dry or dehydrated skin, I would not call this deeply hydrating. It is more of a surface-level moisturizer rather than one that penetrates deeply or repairs dryness overnight. I find myself needing to pair it with a serum or use a heavier night cream to get enough hydration when my skin is drier than usual. It works best as part of a routine rather than being the only source of moisture. The packaging looks nice, but the material tends to bend and crease easily. After just a few uses, mine already has noticeable crease marks that make it look cheap and a bit worn out, which takes away from the packaging a bit. Also, the size is much smaller than I expected. When I first opened it, I was honestly surprised at how little product you get, and for the price, I expected something more generous. While the formula itself feels like excellent quality, the combination of flimsy packaging and small size makes it harder to justify the cost. Overall, I do really like this moisturizer, and I will keep using it because it leaves my skin feeling refreshed and smooth. But if you are looking for something deeply hydrating, or you are very particular about packaging and value for money, you might be a little underwhelmed. For me, it is a great lightweight daytime moisturizer.

I first discovered this moisturizer while traveling in Korea, and I was genuinely sad when my supply ran out. Finding good skincare you love and then losing access is frustrating. I was afraid I'd never find it again. So when I spotted it on Amazon, I may have done a little happy dance. The texture is light but genuinely hydrating — my skin absorbs it instead of just wearing it. This cream is surprisingly gentle. No breakouts, no redness. What won me over is the consistency. If you've been bouncing from product to product hoping something will finally work — this one is worth your time. I absolutely love this.

I love this for my spring/summer time as it is very nice and light in texture, but still does an excellent job on my mature, dehydrated combo skin. I might try this leading up to Autumn just out of curiousity on how it handles the weather as it gets cooler.

This has become a must-have step in my skincare routine before makeup. There’s definitely a reason why it’s so popular!🥰 The texture feels nourishing while leaving just the right amount of moisture on the skin, so my makeup goes on smoothly without pilling or sliding around. It keeps my skin hydrated without feeling heavy or greasy. I’m already on my second bottle and will definitely keep repurchasing!

I have dry-combination skin. No acne. I am sensitive to many ingredients. Ill-fitting ingredients leave my skin stinging, red, and screaming. At worst, visits to the dermatologist. If I add up all the products (Rx-ed and non) and services I tried, I would have a decent amount of money in the bank. lol After all my painstaking journey and a small hole in my wallet...I FOUND MY SAVING GRACE! on Instagram. lol This product goes on thin, absorbed into the skin. My skin is soft, moisturized, and cool to the touch. And I do not have issues or problems. No longer red, hot, or dry. I am so happy with this cream. Sephora, department stores, and facial spas hear sensitive. They automatically offer acne-prone skin products even after I explain I don't have acne or acne-prone skin. My trial and error: hyaluronic acid and Niacinamide dry out my skin. Most facial oils, besides castor oil, sting. It's like they don't bother listening and are mechanically, automatically, AI-ed to refer to popular ingredients or brands. Dermatologists aren't any better. They determine it's rosacea. I listen, buy prescriptions, and try them. It works for 2-3weeks...but by the time of a checkup, my condition flares again. So, they'd prescribed different brands for another month. Repeated, etc, for months. I realized and learned that my condition is not something a dermatologist can solve. Vanicream and CeraVe didn't work. It stings, dries out, leaves a filmy layer, and is not absorbed into my skin. I tried facial spas. They are sales-focused, not experience-focused, result-focused. They often offer products with ingredients I have issues with. I decline every time. This is irksome. Soon, it becomes apparent their goal is sales, and not gaining a loyal client. Good luck, everyone!

La amé, deja un acabado precioso en la piel, tengo la piel seca.

Ottima!!!

Ich habe ziemliche Problemhaut - Periorale Dermatitis, Rosazea, Psoriasis - und bin so froh, dass ich diese leichte Gelcreme gefunden habe. Sie löst bei mir keine Schübe aus, brennt nicht und spendet mit Toner und Serum (Azelain von Nineless) ausreichend Feuchtigkeit. Ich habe sie jetzt zum dritten Mal nachgekauft, meine Gesichtshaut sah schon lange nicht mehr so gut aus. Davor habe ich mit wirklich allen möglichen Produkten - von Drogerie bis Apotheke und hochpreisig - herumexperimentiert und das hat alles nicht gefunzt.

Great moisturiser. Wear it under eye and even as prep base for makeup. My makeup lasts the whole day and doesn’t cake up at all.

I like this product my face smooth with
