Product Overview

I recently tried out the Etude House SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream and have been thoroughly impressed with it. I have sensitive skin and often struggle to find products that dont cause irritation or breakouts. This product has been a godsend in that regard. It is specifically designed for people with sensitive, acne prone skin and contains 93 natural ingredients free of animal materials, mineral oil, color additives, synthetic perfume, polyacrylamide, silicone, imidazolidinyl urea, triethanolamine, surfactant and paraben making it safe for those with sensitive skin.

It contains two key ingredients: Panthenol which strengthens the skin barrier and maintains moisture in the skin and Madecassoside which soothes and repairs irritated skin. The oil water balance skincare moisturizing cream also contains Shea Butter substance and an oil complex which helps to keep my skin hydrated and supplemented while strengthening my skin s resistance with a protein barrier.

The cream is dermatologically tested, non comedogenic tested on skin to prove that the product does not cause breakouts or make the skin worse and hypoallergenic patch test completed to measure the scale of irritation on skin . It also has a non irritating, low pH formula weakly acidic which helps to maintain the correct pH level of your skin and calms down any irritation you might be experiencing.

Overall I am very satisfied with this product. It is light weight so it doesn t feel like I m smothering my face in heavy creams but still provides enough hydration for my dry patches without feeling greasy. This cream is definitely worth trying if you have sensitive skin or are looking for something more natural than traditional creams on the market today. It is also great for people who want to switch from harsher cleansers to something more gentle for their face. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a gentle yet effective skincare solution.
