innisfree$30.00- “It has this really beautiful velvety neutral finish”▶ 3:24
- “It's not shiny or greasy, but it's this very thin occlusive cream that really helps to protect your skin from losing hydration”▶ 3:29
- “I've been so happy with it as a warm weather moisturizer for my combo skin that tends to demand a little bit more occlusivity and tends to demand a little bit moisture than you might first expect”▶ 3:48
- “For having a cream-like texture, this is on the lighter end of feeling on the skin, and it doesn't leave your skin incredibly emollient or shiny, either”▶ 3:59
- “This would be a great cream for folks who do have a little bit more oiliness on their skin”▶ 4:09
- “I actually would not recommend this for dry skin folks. It's not going to be enough for you”▶ 4:35
- “This one would be really great for those looking to balance out barrier care with lightness”▶ 4:50

- “The ingredient that is doing the heavy lifting in this product is the 5% of niacinamide”▶ 5:36
- “At 5% niacinamide also has some well-aging benefits for stimulating collagen production on the skin”▶ 6:12
- “We are getting a triple whammy here with this percentage of niacinamide”
- “We have this really gorgeous medium gel moisturizer and that's making up the bulk of this. So, it is very, very plumping, very hydrating”▶ 8:03
- “The little capsules of lotion in here allow you to really control the amount of moisture that you're getting”▶ 8:24
- “This is not for dry skin. There's just not enough moisture here”▶ 9:46
- “You want your moisturizer to brighten up your skin. You can get a lot of benefit from one product right here just with that niacinamide”
VT Cosmetics$20.00- “The gel component from VT is lighter and more refreshing and more hydrating on the skin in my opinion than Medicube”▶ 13:25
- “VT is a little bit lighter. It's still very plumping. It still has a lot of hydration, but it feels like it just the weight of it on your skin is lighter”
- “I think VT is a much lighter expression”▶ 13:57
- “With the lotion capsules mixed in, you get something that is really really watery, refreshing, plumping, lightweight, breathable kiss of moisture”▶ 14:00
- “What I really like about this one is just how refreshing it feels”▶ 14:24
- “It feels so refreshing, so good in the heat and the humidity. My skin can breathe”▶ 14:38
- “VT being a little bit lighter than Medicube, definitely a choice for oily skin”
Dr. Reju-All$27.90- “This is a really great option for those who are looking for kind of a traditional cream moisturizer to help strengthen up your skin barrier”▶ 15:48
- “It provides a lot of barrier healing and support in more of a lotion like lighter cream texture than a heavy dense cream”▶ 16:16
- “It's a little bit lighter, a little bit fluffier, if you will. It spreads really nicely across the skin”
- “You do feel a kiss of hydration, a kiss of wateriness to this, even though it is cream”
- “It's very soft, silky, but light. Moisturizing, but not oily”
- “This helped to relieve the itch because it really strengthened up my skin”
- “This is my recommendation, as I mentioned earlier, folks are using a lot of aggressive actives and you want to keep your barrier strong, you want to give your skin some of that repairing relief, maybe possibly as a nighttime cream, but you don't want to clog your pores”▶ 16:00
