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. 😕
🌿Formula & Texture
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. 💙
