My perfect daytime lotion
By Sky on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019
Apparently this lotion is a "holy grail" product for many people, so I recently purchased it to see what the hype is about. I've been using it daily for a couple weeks now, and it's already a "holy grail" item for me! It has a very light texture that absorbs easily into the skin. The scent is not too strong, and very pleasant—like tea tree, and reminds me of a lighter version of the scent of COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser. This really is an extremely light lotion, and leaves absolutely no greasy or even soft residue on the skin. It has a more matte finish. My skin is neither particularly dry nor overly greasy, but I think this lotion would be suitable for even greasy skin since it's oil-free. This product is now an essential part of my daily daytime routine. I use just COSRX Natural BHA Skin Returning A-Sol and this lotion before sunscreen, and it is plenty hydrating enough for daytime wear. I do use richer, more emollient products for nighttime, but I've found that this lotion is perfect for reducing potential shininess in the course of the day—especially in the summer. I honestly don't know what birch sap is meant to do as a skincare ingredient, so I can't speak to that. I can say that this formula is exactly what I look for in a daytime lotion and has a permanent place in my skincare routine.

This didn’t work for my oily skin
By mkt on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021
I have oily skin. When I find & read of a moisturizer that will control my oil on my face, I purchase it. Based on the reviews I had high hopes for COSRX. I applied this to my cleansed face with no serum on top. I waited until the weekend to try this for the first time to avoid my usual skin regime which would entail serum after cleansing & then my usual makeup regime. The moisturizer is clear & lightweight. It applied nicely. My skin felt soft & moisturized. I felt like my skin absorbed it. There was a little bit of an oily residue left behind which concerned me. Unfortunately within 30 minutes my skin became blotchy. There was a sticky feeling to my skin & my pores began to fill with oil. In less than 1 hour one would think I hadn’t washed my face. My face became stickier. After a hour I cleansed again & put a gentle moisturizer on & it took a couple hours for the blotches to go away. I don’t have sensitive skin. My skin is accustomed to harsher ingredients like retinol, benzoyl peroxide & salicylic acid since I’m acne prone & have oily skin. My skin didn’t like this. It’s obvious the birch sap in this moisturizer didn’t agree with my skin. The smell I felt was pleasant. I wish this worked for me. This is my personal experience & it didn’t work but I feel it’s a good moisturizer & could work for another, it just didn’t work for me.
