“The multi-layered cream structure formulated with Ceramide NP and Hyaluronic acids help restore dull skin while delivering nutrients deeply into the skin to provide continuous care by locking in moisture and nutrients.
“345 Relief Cream offers a moisturizing texture with a silky finish without any greasy feeling. Its refreshing formula is ideal for any time as part of your post-acne skincare routine.”
The popular moisturiser has garnered an overall rating of 4.4 stars online, having racked up rave reviews. Among them, one person said: “Worth the hype. This is one I wasn’t sure on because of how mad everyone is about it, but it seriously is THAT good…
“I have very sensitive skin and redness so it’s hard to find a moisturiser that doesn’t irritate my skin or make it feel really greasy. This is one of the few I’ve found that does an amazing job.”
A second shopper wrote: “Absolute perfection in a tube. I’ve been looking for a moisturiser for a while that’s very dewy since I don’t wear makeup up and take heavy pride in my skin and having good skin. This is absolutely beautiful and officially my go to moisturiser.
“It’s calmed my skin and redness around the nose so fast and also my psoriasis on my face. It’s absolutely perfect. It is a little sticky but a little goes a long way! 10/10 recommend. This product really made me see the Korean skincare hype & this one is UP.”
A third buyer added: “When I tell you I added to cart and paid without seeing once it was back in stock, I mean it. Worth. Every. Penny.” A fourth added: “I love this moisturiser!! I can’t say it’s 100% resolved any breakouts or flare ups so I wouldn’t go into thinking it’ll solve all your redness or mild acne problems.
“However it’s a beautiful hydrating gel like texture, feels lightweight but doesn’t dry too quickly leaving you feeling dry again. Gives a lovely glow/radiance and just feels very comfortable and causes no extra irritation.”
However, not all shoppers were quite so impressed with the product. One person said: “Maybe it’s just me but been using it for 4 weeks everyday morning and night but I haven’t seen any difference with my hyperpigmentation but it does feel good on my skin I guess.”
Another wrote: “Its texture is quite thin, feeling more like an emulsion than a cream. The moisturising effect is very low, as it almost completely dries out after being applied to the skin.
“I used it for a while and noticed no significant effects, not even in terms of hydration. It’s entirely unsuitable for winter.”
