IOPE Facial Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive Skin with Vitamin E and Ceramide, Gentle Non-irritating Moisturizer for Dry Skin and Redness with Antioxidant Support by Amorepacific,2.03 OZ.

I found so many moisturizers that made be break out with acne and was so happy to find this one that moisturized without the acne.It also seems to be a combination of several products on the women’s line which makes it a real value. I wanted to find the same one for my daughter but the women’s line doesn’t have an equivalent.

This is a facial moisturizer from Korea. It comes in a safety sealed tube. The product is a dense white cream. It feels fantastic on my dry skin. It moisturizes, smooths and calms. It’s a lot in one tube!There is no fragrance but there is a sharp metallic smell, almost like burnt leather. It does linger. I assume this is the ferulic acid. It takes some getting used to. The product works very well but the smell isn’t particularly pleasant.

IOPE Vitamin E Ceramide Cream (an Amorepacific brand) has no drying alcohol, parabens, fragrance or other obvious irritants and is a gentle feeling ceramide cream that seems really good for my sensitive, dry, mature (55+) skin. My skin tolerates this cream well even when my skin is already agitated or irritated. Also, naturally occurring ceramides (lipids or fats) get depleted with age and sun damage, and using a good ceramide cream will aid compromised skin like mine as it can increase and lock in hydration and help strengthen the skin barrier.Some ceramide creams feel too heavy or occlusive on my skin, but my skin absorbs this IOPE cream well and leaves my skin well hydrated, calm and comfortable. Also, my skin feels velvety soft and smooth, and it seems more plump and firm. I can use this cream during the day (as well as night) as it isn’t greasy and works well under my makeup. I like using this cream after products with ingredients such as AHAs, retinol and fragrance; it’s calming and plays well with other products and ensures I’m not doubling up on actives and other ingredients that can irritate my skin.I’m not a skin care expert, but the formula of this cream seems good in that it combines ceramides with antioxidants, skin replenishing and skin restoring ingredients, such as Vitamin E, ferulic acid, glycerin, adenosine, Shea butter, squalane and panthenol. I can’t say if this has an optimal amount of ceramides (“Ceramide NP” is listed as the second to last ingredient) and also can’t yet gauge any long term benefits as they can take many weeks or months of regular use, but I’m really pleased with this cream so far. Love it. 5 stars. Made in Korea.

Once its absorbed it is light weight. I still like how it feels and the ingredients. Maybe if there was more oil content or they got rid of the starch it would be richer. I have a feeling they discontinued this..

(Ingredients list is at the bottom of this review.)I really love the IOPE Facial Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive Skin with Vitamin E and Ceramide, Gentle Non-irritating Moisturizer for Dry Skin and Redness with Antioxidant Support by Amorepacific, 2.03 OZ. It is a particularly nice ceramide cream. Especially for nighttime use, or daytime use in the fall and winter. My dry, sensitive skin loves it.This is a thick, white cream. It glides across the skin very smoothly, and it sinks into the skin nicely. It leaves a beautiful layer of lasting hydration and moisture on the surface of the skin. It leaves a very smooth, hydrated, glowy, dewy, healthy-looking finish on the skin. It layers perfectly with other skincare products. I love to use it at nighttime, in order to lock in all of the hydrating layers of my skincare routine.The packaging is a plastic tube which has a metallic outer finish. The cream is unscented. It does have a slight unscented "scent" that reminds me of something, but I can never quite place it. It's not offputting or bothersome. I have noticed that the minor "scent" dissipates immediately when layered with other products in a skincare routine.Overall, this Vitamin E Ceramide Cream is a winner. I really enjoy using it, because it is very kind to my sensitive skin, while helping to quickly heal, restore, and/or maintain my skin barrier. It makes my skin look so healthy and radiant. I highly recommend.INGREDIENTS:WATER/ AQUA/ EAU, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, CETYL ETHYLHEXANOATE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, SQUALANE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, GLYCERIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER, GLYCERYL STEARATE CITRATE, BIS HYDROXYETHOXYPROPYL DIMETHICONE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, PANTHENOL, POLYGLYCERYL-3 METHYLGLUCOSE DISTEARATE, METHYL TRIMETHICONE, BIS-DIGLYCERYL POLYACYLADIPATE-2, POLYGLYCERYL-10 STEARATE, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, HYDROXYPROPYL STARCH PHOSPHATE, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, TROMETHAMINE, TOCOPHEROL, GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, ADENOSINE, DISODIUM EDTA, SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE, CERAMIDE NP, FERULIC ACID.

I have very dry sensitive skin and with using tretinoin my skin can get very red, dry, and flaky. I got this and it is a very thick lotion I do like that it has vitamin e, ceramides however after the lotion my skin was still dry and flaky so it didn't really help to much with that. After watching videos a lot of dermatologists have recommended vanicream and that has help a ton. So out of the 2 I would suggest vanicream if you skin is like mine however it is a nice face lotion
