COSRX Oil Free Ultra Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap 100 ml

Overall this product and all Cosrx products are fantastic. I wish there was a local source that carried everything!

In the mornings, I use two lightweight water-based serums, then this moisturizer in a generous quantity, then a very scant amount of Cerve cream moisturizer to lock it all in. Surprisingly, my foundation goes on well with no pilling or excessive shine, and lasts all day. Other moisturizers have been too greasy and heavy for me. My skin is oily but needs additional protection as I put it through a gauntlet of anti-aging treatments (namely retinol and glycolic acid).

COSRX Oil Free Moisturizing Lotion is fantastic for my combination skin. It absorbs quickly without any greasy residue, providing lasting hydration throughout the day. The birch sap feels soothing and has helped reduce redness and irritation. My skin feels smoother and more balanced.

🌺 Packaging:
Hard plastic bottle with a pump that can dispense even the tiniest amount of lotion.

🌺 Texture:
Lightweight, almost gel-like texture, it gets absorbed into the skin very quickly. Not sticky at all, I have never experienced any pilling, no matter what other products I combined it with (over serums, even oily ones, under sunscreen or foundation… etc.)

🌺 My personal experience:
I use it in both my morning and evening routine (as I said it goes well with all the products).
It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and adds a silky feel to it. I am prone to acne (the occasional break-outs) but this product has never caused any. I personally love the scent (it is parfume-free so it might just be the natural fragrance of the citrus and the tea tree oil).
product review negatives.

🌺 For people with dry skin it might not provide adequate hydration in the winter. Many people complain about the smell (I actually do like it).
