I used to love the original version of Laneige Cream Skin—I went through bottles and bottles of it! So when I saw it had been reformulated, I was both excited and a little nervous. Since winter is always brutal on my dry skin, I decided to give it another try.

But honestly… I don’t know if I romanticized the old formula in my head, but this new version just doesn’t hit the same. 😕

The new formula feels lighter and absorbs really well, which is nice. But something about it feels less effective than the original. It’s not bad, just… not as amazing as I remember.

🌿The Packaging… Oh, the Packaging 😩

Let’s talk about this baby bottle-shaped packaging. I don’t know why they thought this was a good idea, but it’s super frustrating. The cap keeps getting stuck, and I literally have to leave it open because opening and closing it every time is a struggle.

The old bottle was sturdier and just better overall. Why fix something that wasn’t broken?! 😭

🌿Pro Tip: Use a Mist Pump!

I thought switching to a spray bottle might help—and let me tell you, it makes a huge difference! If you get this product, transfer it to a mist pump ASAP.

Just spritz, pat, and go—so much easier than dealing with that annoying bottle. Even though I’m not usually a mist person, I love how this makes my skincare routine feel effortless.

🌿Final Thoughts

This isn’t the most powerful skincare product in terms of ingredients or results. Instead, its biggest strength is convenience. If you use it with a mist pump, it’s quick, easy, and perfect for lazy skincare days.

🌿Summary

The formula is okay, the packaging is not, but if you use it as a mist, it becomes a game-changer. 💙
