skintific 5x ceramide barrier repair travel set - moisture gel

this moisturizer is highly praised for quite a while, but i haven't gotten the chance to try it. and i have this weird stance regarding highly-raved products. i tend to lose interest when it's highly raved, that's why i've been using other moisturizer but this. but, i run out of stuff to try so i decided to give it a try. especially when they release a travel set. i thought i would just try everything from the travel set, but then i found out that the moisturizer in the set is very tiny, so i bought the full size one on top of the one from the travel set. 

this is the translated description from their official marketplace channel: a moisturizer that combines 3 active ingredients, ceramide, hyaluronic acid, and centella asiatica, to deal with broken skin barrier problems such as acne, redness, texturized skin, and dry skin quickly and safely for skin barrier. enriched with 4x ceramide technology, which is a combination of 5 types of ceramide that gives deep moisture and strengthens skin barrier. 5x ceramide helps to repair and protect skin barrier by giving moisture and protecting skin from external factors. 

hero ingredients:

- 5x ceramide: combination of 5 types of ceramide to restore and create skin protection layer to prevent moisture loss.

- hyaluronic acid: hydrates skin instantly and intensively repairs skin cells deeply.

- centella asiatica: soothes and repairs inflammation on skin.

- marine collagen: maintain moisture and skin suppleness.

the packaging: i bought this in a travel set, so this comes in light blue box with big transparent plastic window at front so you can see everything inside from the outside. there's description of everything inside at the back. everything from the 5x ceramide lines come in light blue packaging, including the moisturizer. the sample size is the miniature of the full size one. it comes in light blue jar with white screw cap. the sample size is only 5 ml while the full size one is 30 ml. 

the scent: i don't think this one is scented, but i might be mistaken. all i remember is this one doesn't smell foul or bad, and might be smell a bit fresh. 

the product: it's a white gel type moisturizer that's quite thick. the consistency is similar to true to skin moisturizer. but once it's spread around, it turns watery and easy to spread around. it takes a minute to be absorbed though. 

the result: once it's absorbed, i can feel that this is hydrating and moisturizing. the feeling is similar to somethinc ceramide. even though it's moisturizing enough, it's still lightweight. it gives a slight glow, but not much. it works well with my other skincare products, no pilling or whatever. 

i get it why it's being raved. it works well, it feels nice on the skin and it really does what it's promised for. i think it's suitable for all skin types, but maybe not enough at night time as it's a gel type and quite lightweight. as for me, i think this one is on par with somethinc ceramide, so if you've tried the other, you might not find this any different. price wise, this is slightly more expensive, but still affordable especially if you bought it during sales.
