I have a slight obsession with creams and moisturizers - I am pretty content with anything at night, as long as it doesn't clog my pores, but I'm a bit more picky during the daytime. I have oily skin so I need a more lightweight moisturizer - but I also have dehydrated skin so I also need something hydrating. I previously have only found two moisturizers that fit the bill - one of which is the Freeset Donkey Milk Cream - but will this lotion add to my daytime moisturizer lineup?
The Cosrx Oil-Free Ultra-Moistuzing Lotion with Birch Sap was originally designed to restore lost moisture in your routine after using aha and/or bha. Claiming to deliver intense hydration to all skin types, and be repairing for damaged skin as well.
The highlight of this lotion is birch sap; an all-natural moisturizer that poses as a good anti-aging ingredient.

The lotion comes in a pump bottle - typical for Cosrx liquid products, and I must admit that I love how easy it is to dispense this lotion product as well. I hope in the future Cosrx considers putting more of their creams in pump bottles. Though I can see some product being lost if you can't find a tiny cosmetic spatula or skewer to scrape the last bits out when the bottle is almost empty.
The lotion is thick and creamy, white in color, and has a citrus scent to it. It can feel a tab greasy at first, but it does absorb easily into the skin after a few seconds.
I've been using the Cosrx Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion for a month now and am very happy with how it performs. It applies nicely onto my skin and absorbs well. It gives a good amount of hydration no matter if I use it during the day or at night. During the day, it pairs well with sunscreen without causing any balling and doesn't leave my skin greasy. Over night I can wear it alone for light hydration with a sheet mask and have soft skin in the morning - or pair it with a sleeping pack for extra plumping hydration. Two pumps is enough to cover my entire face, so a little goes a long way!
I purchased my lotion from Cupidrop, but you can also find it at WishTrend and Memebox USA*.

Not at all! For me anyway - I have oily dehydrated skin, and have never found it to be sticky.
ReplyDeleteI might have to try this one when I get through the ones I'm using now as I am starting to feel like I need more hydration since I've been using aha/bha/vit C serums. Good to know that it does the job! xx
ReplyDeleteHello! I just wish to give an enormous thumbs up for the nice info you've got right here on this post. I will probably be coming back to your weblog for more soon! Dog gifts
ReplyDeleteWe as a whole realize that the human body is made out of 60% water yet did you realize that the water should be supplanted sometimes to evade parchedness? Truly, you drink 8 full glasses a day however it isn't sufficient.Cosrx Low PH Good Morning Gel Cleanser + COSRx Oil Free Ultra Moisturizing Lotion
