CT魔法面霜...涂一粒就能润全脸，打出光泽又细腻的妆面，不愧是底妆高端局！

CT Magic Cream... just a pea-sized amount hydrates the whole face, creating a glowing and delicate finish. Truly a high-end base makeup game!

😊

这次试了CT的爆水霜太可以了，冰冰凉凉、水水润润...大干皮不会再卡粉了

Tried CT's Water Cream this time and it's so good, icy and hydrating... dry skin won't have cakey makeup anymore.

😊

混油皮没觉得油腻腻只觉得水润润！感觉任何底妆前涂都不会起皮一样

As someone with combination-oily skin, it doesn't feel greasy at all, just hydrating! It feels like no makeup will flake after applying this.

💬

据说会搓泥...暂时没发现搓泥。封闭效果可以，但我手头面霜太多了，不回购了

It's rumored to pill... haven't noticed pilling yet. The occlusion is okay, but I have too many creams on hand, so I won't repurchase.

Users frequently praise the product for its hydrating, glow-inducing, and pore-refining effects, particularly for oily and combo skin types. However, many consumers express significant frustration regarding its high price point and the lack of affordable alternatives.

😊

It’s the best moisturizer I’ve honestly ever bought

👎

Don't need to be spending $100 on a moisturizer. Save that money and spend it on something else. Don't understand the hype.

😊

It’s sooooo good. Controls oil and reduces redness!!!

💬

I just tried this water cream as a sample and it’s so nice under makeup…. But like omg the price 😅

😊

I love the water cream because it's so much better for oily skin than the original magic cream.
