This Illiyoon Cream at Amazon Moisturizes the Driest Skin

Summertime, my skin is as glowy as one can get—a combination of sweat and skincare. But once the temperatures hit below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (or hit the 50s at night), my skin goes, “Hello, we are now absolutely dry.”

Alas, as a skincare fanatic, I’m always prepared. Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream is one of my favorite affordable skincare products that hails from South Korea, but it’s rising in popularity over here in the U.S., too, for its lightweight yet intense moisturization. The dermatologist-tested formula is packed with a patented ceramide complex that helps repair your skin barrier and actually strengthens it to withstand future irritation.

Illiyoon as a brand is the Korean equivalent of CeraVe, and you’ll likely see it in most Korean households. It’s definitely one in mine (I have at least one backup at all times) and is quickly winning the favor of Amazon shoppers, too. 

Just one purchase is enough to convince even the most skeptical—and most sensitive skin types—to re-add it to their shopping carts. “I’m not even close to finishing my first tube, and it’s already a staple and on subscription,” shared one shopper who gave the cream a five-star review. Another shopper with severe eczema said, “Nothing cheap or expensive was hydrating my skin anymore until I started this!…I’ve gone through almost two bottles already and will be purchasing again.”

Perhaps the most testing of scenarios is eczema skin in dry climates. Still, the Illiyoon cream wins there. “This is the best moisturizer I have found,” wrote one desert dweller with very sensitive skin. “It has also healed my eczema on my neck!” 

Despite being a rich cream, the Illiyoon formula melts into your skin without leaving behind any residue or tackiness. You don’t need to heavily work it in, either. It’s quick to absorb, and works great under makeup, too. 

The best part: A little goes a long way. Meaning, the 200-milliliter tube size will last you a while—especially when the brand promises 100 hours of moisturization. We know, the claim may make you raise an eyebrow, but I for one can say my skin definitely feels less dry in the winter when I use this on a regular basis. And I’m not alone in thinking so. 

Even the driest of skin types say, “I’ve found that my skin remains noticeably moisturized throughout the day and even up until the day after.” They continued to share how the long-lasting hydration was “a game changer, especially during the winter or when my skin needs extra hydration.” 

I used to only be able to get this when I made trips to Seoul, but it’s now very conveniently available at Amazon for $25—and no tariffs are involved. Prime members can even have it stocked in their medicine cabinets in two days (or less depending on some locations).
