How to use:
After you have cleansed, toned and used any serums of your desire, seal everything in as your last step with this ceramide moisturizer.
Product packaging:
Packaging has changed over the course of the year and now has a new name as well as design for the tube. Although the outside has changed, the formula hasn’t which I’m happy to report.ย ย 
It seems to have the same screw-off cap and the retractable type of tin tube that doesn’t squeeze everything out.
Texture + Finish & effects +results:
On the website’s description for the texture, it says it is a “matte balm type texture that comforts both oily and dry skin without any greasy residue.”ย That definitely holds true!ย I love the texture it provides, but it definitely is lighter weight than Cosrx’s low pH BHA overnight mask and absorbs into the skin much faster.ย So if you are trying to decide between the two, it would depends on the level of moisture you are needing as well as if your skin is sensitive or not.
If you are sensitive and for something lightweight with no greasy finish, I’d go with the comfort ceramide.ย If you have normal to dry skin and have dry, flakey skin issues, I’d go with the low pH BHA overnight mask as a treatment.
I realize pictures like this really don’t help with showing you the texture, does it -_-.
Fragrance?:
In the ingredients list, there are two ingredients that seem to be listed as a fragrance: Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil, and Asiaticoside.ย I can definitely see everyone riled up about the citrus oil since it is an irritant and honestly, doesn’t need to be in the formula since it does nothing but smelly nicey.ย As for the Asiatioside, that doesn’t bother me much since it comes from the Centella itself.ย Smell-o-scale: 6/10 in terms of how strong the scent is.ย The fragrances do disappear after application and do not linger around for long.ย I personally haven’t had any issues with the citrus oil, but I do have quite resilient skin.
Pro:
-super moisturizing
-great thick balmy texture
-suitable for most skin types
Con:
-contains citrus oil (which would bother a lot of people)
Repurchase?:
Yes

Overall thoughts:
I absolutely love this cream and is a definite staple in my collection to save me through the winter times.ย Although it doesn’t leave the desired greasy finish that I like, I do still enjoy this cream and just use a facial oil to seal everything in.ย I ran out of things to say about this cream other than it is fantabulous and it simply does what it says (other than the added essential oils hehe).ย Overall I give these two thumbs up and the green light to put them in your shopping cart.
