I had high hopes for it since everyone says it's for sensitive irritated skin. Idk if it's the new formula. That's the first cosmetic product I have allergic reaction to. 10 min after I applied it I got a strong metallic taste on the tip of my tongue(nope I didn't lick my skin!). I tried to ignore it and apply again the next day. And I did the next day, got the same reaction. After I woke up my face was covered in big red patches, swollen.
Why it has alluminium? It gives you no benefit. I suspect it. They should really change the formula - Dimethicone is the third ingredient. Some cheap Korean creams have better formula.
If you have dry skin it may work for you and you might tolerate it. I just share my experience.

The product feels great, but always ends up leaving a white cast and eventually pilling. This happens for both face and hand/body application.

Because I have dry, sensitive skin, and due to all the ads, I thought this would be my favorite cream. However, this cream caused me the biggest breakout ever. I got cystic acne, fungal acne, and it clogged pores. I wouldn’t recommend it for those with acne-prone skin. Maybe it’s good for others, but that’s just my opinion on the product. If it works for you, keep using it.
