I love my Hadalabo Shirojyun lotion, but since my skin was getting dry (during winter), I wanted to give this a try. The price was a bit of a turn-off but I purchased this cream for half off during Missha's holiday sale. Along with the face cream, you get a free travel-sized sleeping mask. I've only used the mask about twice, so I can't really say anything other than it hydrated my skin well. I really love/hate the packaging. I love that it came with a box - seemed like you were getting a present! I adore the color - its a golden yellow and silver gradation. I don't like that it comes in a tub, even though a spatula is provided for sanitation purposes. It would be nice if this came in a pump bottle or a squeeze tube, for convenience.

This cream is said to have skin brightening/whitening properties. I did see a more brightening effect when used in conjunction with my Shirojyun lotion. Although when used alone, the brightening effect isn't as obvious, its very subtle. I have combination skin, and this didn't break me out at all. It hydrated my skin really well, but didn't leave me with a greasy feel. I like that it left a nice dewy glow to my skin. It also gave the same effect as the Shirojyun lotion - leaving my skin with a plumped feeling.

I actually thought that this is going to be a thick cream, but was quite pleasantly surprised when I saw that this was gel-based. Its a light, translucent white cream. It starts to liquify as you massage it into your skin. It feels like water and absorbs quickly. I only use this at night as it doesn't have SPF and I like using my Shirojyun lotion alone with my sunscreen during the day. This cream isn't something I would run out and purchase right away if I were to finish it up, but its a nice cream. I might try the regular version from Missha's Super Aqua line (the blue one) and I'll compare the difference between the two if I do.
