Review

I bought this cream immediately after experiencing positive results with the Inoherb Quadruple Herbal Extract cleanser. The Ultra Hydra Cream is from the low-cost 'Smooth Moisture' line which includes a basic cleanser, a toner lotion, an milk lotion, 2 creams and 2 sheet masks. I haven't used any other products from the line; I prefer to mix and match as I see fit, using different layers for different needs. 

The cream is very thin and is translucent, pushing the boundaries on what might be defined as a 'cream'. It has humectant ingredients and silicones to hydrate the skin, smooth the skin and provide an occlusive layer to prevent water loss.

I have used 2 jars of the cream so far, and have had only positive results. The cream goes on very light, and goes well before sunscreen or a sleeping pack. The cream is gentle, doesn't irritate or clog, and also doesn't turn my T-zone into an oil slick.
