my fav moisturizer, a little pricey but a little goes a long way

A rare miss for Laneige?

It's rare I give out 1 star reviews but I struggled to find something redeemable about this one. I do love some Laneige products (the lip mask is nice, the milky toner is amazing, the gel sleeping mask is really soothing) but this particular moisturizer was rough for me. I used it for three days in a row, twice a day. It went on after I gently cleansed and used the Laneige milky toner. My skin is not very sensitive so I was surprised to find that this stuff burned going on! Every time! Is it the fragrance? Something else? I'm not sure, but my skin burns when I apply it. Next, I don't love the small mouth container and the loose applicator. It would take very little effort for Laneige products to include a clip where the applicator could stay attached. The jar is too small to comfortably scoop out with your finger, and the applicator stick just loosely hangs out in my medicine cabinet. I don't love it Finally, this doesn't actually hydrate my skin. I have been using the Dr Jart Ceramidin cream for years and have been really spoiled by how well it works. This moisturizer left me wondering if my house humidity was extremely low because I felt so dry. Then I put two and two together and realized I had been using this new moisturizer and it was not "intensive" despite the name. This one is a pass for me! It didn't break me out, but it burns and smells a bit strong and doesn't hydrate!
