I’ll be honest. I didn’t jump on this cream immediately. 

I’m someone who watches trends before diving in, and this one? It’s been everywhere. Between my influencer friends raving about it and Olive Young putting it on the 1+1 deal wall, I finally caved.

I have some friends who work with korean professional makeup artists, and apparently, this cream was one of their HG products they carry everywhere. 

Yes. Of course I got curious I had to try it out LOL.

I have combination skin — T-zone gets oily while the cheeks stay relatively normal. What intrigued me about S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream was its promise of balanced hydration with the magic of squalane. 

Upon first use, the cream felt like a lightweight gel but had a soft, balm-like richness when spread. The texture is silky and cushiony, with no tackiness or greasy aftermath, which I really appreciate for my T-zone.

That said, my one gripe? The tube is tiny. Even though I got it at a steal (thank you, Olive Young 1+1 gods), I already feel like I’m halfway through. If you use this morning and night, especially for both face and neck, you’ll run through it quickly.

Still, for a cream that’s this light yet nourishing, I can see why people love it. It layers well, especially under sunscreen and makeup, and doesn’t cause any pilling. 

But if you’re expecting a long-term tub of moisture, be prepared to repurchase sooner than later.
