One of the first-ever products I got to try from I’m from was their honey mask and it changed my life overnight.ย This sounds a bit dramatic but it is true for me.ย I still have it in my vanity and it is for sure expired by now hehe.ย Last year, they expanded their honey collection and I knew me and my dry skin had to try it!ย Finally getting my hands on their honey glow cream, let’s break down the good and bad about this cream and if it works just as good as the mask!

How to use:
After cleansing, prep the skin with the toner.ย Dispense an appropriate amount at the cream stage and apply it over your face evenly.
Product packaging:
Most of I’m from products come in a glass bottle or jar since it is easier to recycle.ย But then again, when it arrived at the recycling depots, wouldn’t they all just break?ย Anyways, this cream comes in a gorgeous hexagon shaped glass jar with a twist-off lid.ย I love their attention to details!ย Even the cardboard box had subtle honeycomb detailing and information on where the honey came from in Korea.
Texture/ Finish + effects:
The texture of this cream is quite unique.ย It is lightweight but has a thickness to it and melts into the skin easily.ย It leaves a bit of a dewy finish but isn’t greasy or heavy feeling.ย Think room temperature cream cheese, somewhat bouncy however it melts into your skin like no other.ย I can see a lot of skin types enjoying this moisturizer, especially those with combination skin.
You can’t really see the finish well here but there is a very natural glow to it.ย The description said it provides a brightening effect which I can somewhat agree on.ย The natural glow does brighten up your look and makes you more awake, but it isn’t the type of brightening which lightens hyperpigmentation or anything like that.
Fragrance?:
Sadly this cream didn’t smell like the honey mask but it has more of a baby powder, floral scent, and does linger for about 5 minutes after application.ย Smell-o-scale: 6/10 in terms of how strong the scent is.
Pro:
-hydrating enough for my dry skin
-leaves a very natural glow
-not greasy/ heavy feeling
Con:
-scent is a bit strong and overbearing but does fade
Repurchase?:
Maybe

Overall thoughts:
Overall I think this is a good moisturizer but it is more of a situational moisturizer in which I’d have to think of what else to pair with it.ย If I were to pair it with the I’m from honey serum, this is perfect and gives me enough moisture for all day.ย However, if I’m using it by itself or with a very light serum, this might leave me feeling like I am lacking something.ย Those with normal to combination skin might not have this issue and could work out great.ย I don’t crazy strong feelings about this moisturizer but I do think it is a decent pick.
