Now I Get Why So Many People love Dr.G Red Blemish Soothing Cream

For context, I have combination skin leaning oily

 

So I’ve been using the Dr.G Red Blemish Soothing Cream for a little while now, and honestly, I’m pretty impressed with how well it works for my skin type. I have combination skin that tends to get oilier throughout the day, especially in my T-zone, but I also have moments where my skin feels dry or gets a little irritated, especially if I’ve used actives or my skin barrier feels a bit off.

 

 

What I really like about this cream is how balanced it feels. It’s lightweight enough that it doesn’t make my face feel greasy or heavy, but it still gives a good amount of hydration. It has a gel-cream texture that spreads easily and sinks in nicely if I use the right amount. I did notice that if I go overboard and apply too much, it can feel a little sticky for a while, but once I figured out how much my skin actually needs, it layered beautifully under sunscreen and makeup.

 

It’s also super gentle, no fragrance, no stinging, and no redness. I tend to react to random ingredients, especially when my skin is already a bit angry, but this didn’t cause any irritation or breakouts at all, which is a huge win for me. I’ve also found that on days when my skin feels a bit tight or dry, adding a hydrating serum underneath this cream gives me that extra boost without overloading my skin.

 

 

Overall, I think this is a solid option for oily and combination skin types, especially if you want something calming and non-irritating. It might not be rich enough on its own if you’re super dry, but it plays well with other hydrating products. Definitely a nice “everyday” moisturizer to have on hand!

    Would you say this works better as a day cream or night cream for you? I'm building a routine around calming + lightweight layers and debating when to slot this in

    Honestly works great for both! I’ve been using it in the morning under sunscreen and it doesn’t pill, but it’s soothing enough for nighttime too if you layer a serum before

    How strong is the soothing effect here compared to say, Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum or Round Lab Mugwort Cream?

    Never used both of em soooo I don't think I'll be that helpful. Still, I bet this is the most soothing cream ever!

    Have used the calming serum and this cream as well. In my opinion this one functions better than the serum since i didnt like the latter that much (i know it can sound biased tho). The serum? Didnt feel it soothing as much as i had expected.

    FYI I've only used the Mugwort cream and I hated it so much. Hated the thick texture and didn't calm my skin but irritated it.

    This is one of those rare moisturizers that doesn’t get weird when layered over like 3 serums. Some creams just sit weird but this blends right in 👏👏👏

    Okay but can we talk about how nice the jar looks on a vanity?? Minimalist but still clinical-cute. Makes me want to use it every morning tbh

    This cream was my skin savior during tretinoin purge 😭 I didn’t even know my face could not sting until I started using this. So glad it’s getting more love lately!

    Always appreciate when people mention the scent (or lack thereof lol). Do you find it layers well under makeup or sunscreen?

    Not op but I've benn using this for months now. I think it layers very well under both makeup and sunscreen as it is lightweight enough to absorb fast. The feeling it gives me is so refreshing, hydrating and calming!!
