My Experience with S.Nature Aqua Squalane Cream & Mamonde Blue Chamomile Cream
My Experience with S.Nature Aqua Squalane Cream & Mamonde Blue Chamomile Cream
S.Nature Aqua Squalane Cream
Texture: It’s opaque and feels much more hydrating compared to Mamonde. However, it doesn't have the gel texture like Dr. G's moisturizing cream.
Key Ingredients: Squalane, Panthenol, Hyaluronic Acid
Scent: It has the typical neutral scent of fragrance-free skincare.
Mamonde Blue Chamomile Cream
Texture: The texture is semi-transparent, with very small capsules. Compared to the Aestura cream, there are fewer capsules, and they’re smaller.
Key Ingredients: Blue Chamomile, Hyaluronic Acid
Scent: There’s a slight powdery scent.
SUMMARY
Moisture Level
S.Nature < Mamonde
Thickness
S.Nature < Mamonde
Scent Intensity
S.Nature = Mamonde
Visually, the Snature cream looks thicker, but when applied, Mamonde has more oiliness. After absorption, both have a similar feel. Neither feels particularly more hydrating or sticky, both have a similar finish.
Both work well as day creams! I mainly use Snature before makeup, and Mamonde has a soothing effect, so I used it with Aestura when my skin got red and needed calming.

Influencer1 mo. agoI’ve used both and your breakdown is so accurate. The Mamonde one definitely feels more hydrating, but the Snature sits better under makeup for sure. Influencer1 mo. agoHonestly, this is just another sunscreen that’s way overhyped. There are better ones out there, trust me.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoI find Mamonde’s scent a bit nostalgic—it’s soft, but it gives that classic Korean skincare vibe. Influencer1 mo. agoSo, you’re just layering this under makeup like it’s a miracle product? Spoiler: It’s not.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoYes! The S.Nature texture threw me off at first—I expected it to be heavier. But it’s deceptively light on skin. Influencer1 mo. agoYou think Mamonde’s scent is ‘nostalgic’? It’s just overpowering and annoying. Stop romanticizing it.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoFor sensitive skin, I’d still reach for Mamonde when my barrier is acting up. It’s got that calming edge. Influencer1 mo. agoS.Nature’s texture is nothing special. It’s just lightweight because it’s underwhelming.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoI actually cocktail Mamonde with a drop of oil at night and it works wonders. Influencer1 mo. agoIf you’re sensitive, Mamonde is your go-to? Stop acting like that’s a magic cure for all your skin issues.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoAnyone else feel like Snature is slept on? It’s so neutral but actually delivers. Influencer1 mo. agoCocktailing Mamonde with oil? That sounds like a greasy mess. Just get a product that works by itself.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoAppreciate how you mentioned the capsule texture in Mamonde! It dissolves nicely, but it’s something people should know. Influencer1 mo. agoSnature might be ‘neutral,’ but it’s as bland as they come. Not everything that’s understated is good.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoYour comparison was SO helpful! I was debating between these two for a minimalist morning routine. Influencer1 mo. agoMamonde capsules dissolving nicely? Cool, but no one asked for your skincare sermon.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoI use the S.Nature cream in winter mornings—it doesn’t pill with sunscreen! Influencer1 mo. agoMinimalist morning routine? Maybe you just can’t handle a proper skincare routine.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoSnature’s no-frills approach is kind of what I need when I just want my skin to breathe but still stay moisturized. Influencer1 mo. agoS.Nature not pilling with sunscreen? Let me guess, you’re just using half of what you need, so it’s ‘fine’.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoMamonde over Aestura is my go-to when I’m flaring up. It really calms redness better than I expected.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoHonestly, Mamonde does feel richer, but sometimes a little too much for combo skin during spring.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoSurprised how close they finish even though the textures are so different!
-
Influencer1 mo. agoLove that you included scent intensity! So overlooked in most reviews.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoI wish Snature had a version with added ceramides though—it’d be a game changer.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoThis is probably a rare take, but I actually prefer Snature when my skin is breaking out—it doesn’t clog anything.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoI felt the same about Mamonde being more oily, but it doesn’t feel heavy weirdly? Like it just melts in.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoSurprised no one talks about Snature more—it’s so underrated in the K-beauty world.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoI’m using the Mamonde cream post-laser right now and it’s been a dream.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoBlue chamomile is such a lovely ingredient for irritated skin. I’d love to see Mamonde do a matching toner too.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoI always find that Snature’s panthenol content helps when I’ve gone too hard with exfoliants.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoI layer Mamonde over a lightweight peptide serum and it’s like a moisture bomb without stickiness.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoCan confirm: both layer beautifully with sunscreen. Super rare to find two creams that don’t mess with your base.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoHonestly, packaging-wise Mamonde wins. The texture, the vibe—it just feels more luxe.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoIf anyone’s wondering, I’ve had no pilling with either even under foundation.
-
Influencer1 mo. agoAppreciate how balanced your review was—zero hype, just facts. Needed this!
