Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream is a thick, rich moisturizer that professional makeup artist CYoung calls "safe for the whole family" and suitable for both face and body, often used on her own baby. The 2025 upgrade is marked "nine free" on the tube, but the tube can be tough to squeeze — she suggests the lotion version for an easier pump. At around $11 on sale, it's praised as Korea's number one bestselling body lotion, though CYoung notes it's "pretty thick" and may feel "too strong" for some.
