Sorabee Balancing Aqua Cream*

The Sorabee Balancing Aqua Cream is another one of those lightweight gel-type moisturizers that seem to be very popular in Korean skincare. I think every BNT Box I’ve received has at least one of these, but this is the only one to come packaged in a tube. It’s the best of what I’ve tried so far and I like to use it to prep my skin for makeup, but I’m not crazy about it. “Balancing” creams are actually ideal for my combination skin. This one is very lightweight and has a cooling effect to it. There’s 70g of product in the tube and I appreciate this type of packaging because I don’t like having to dip my fingers into moisturizers or have to bother with a spatula.
The gel-like cream is easily spread and absorbed very quickly by skin. It’s not heavy at all and it makes a great base for makeup during the daytime. The cooling effect this provides is particularly nice these days because it’s been excruciatingly hot.
