Collagen Jelly Cream
Summary of Reviews
Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream has the highest hydration level among 16 moisturizers tested by professional makeup artist CYoung, but she calls it "the worst" and compares the texture to Vaseline. She warns that oily or combo skin types will hate it, as it feels like it sits on top rather than absorbing. CYoung advises saving your money, calling it a viral product that doesn't deliver internal moisture.
