I’m on a Korean skin care kick lately, in case you haven’t noticed and one of the new additions to my collection is this face cream. It sounded interesting because it has aloe and I thought it might be soothing and a good match for sensitive skin, even if it’s combination skin.

Packaging:

The face cream comes in a nice glass jar and it contains 70 ml, which is more than the usual quantity for face cream. I do appreciate that. Also, the green label is a gave away for the key ingredient. I like glass jars because they feel so nice and luxurious, so it also looks cute on my bathroom counter.

Texture:

The face cream has a thick consistency and it does have a bit of a scent. I don’t mind it, but it’s something to keep in mind. Also, since this a cream that’s on the thicker side, only a small amount is necessary.

Ingredients:

Purified Water, Mineral Oil, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 60, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Stearic acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate/PEG-100 Stearate, Dimethicone, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Linalool, Hydroxycitronellal, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Xantane Gum, Allantoin, Adenosine, Aloe Barbadensis leaf extract, Camellia Sinensis leaf extract, Tomato fruit extract

I love the niacinamide in here, because it’s one of my favorite ingredients, but also the adenosine because it accelerates the healing of skin damage. It also contains allantoin (a very good moisture agent), aloe vera leaf extract, green tea extract and tomato fruit extract.

Price and accessibility:

Jigott products are available in Dr. Max pharmacies, in Marionnaud stores and in several online shops, especially in those specialized in Asian skin care products. I got my face cream from the Dr. Max online pharmacy for around 5.5 euros, which I think is a very good price for a face cream, especially considering that there is also a larger quantity available.

My overall opinion:

I wanted to like this face cream so much, but I don’t think I will repurchase it. It’s just too thick for my liking and even if I apply just a small amount, my face feels a little bit oily. It’s decent enough for an evening cream, but I wanted it for a day cream because in the evening I apply some zinc oxide ointment as it helps me with the acne flare ups I’ve been dealing lately.

Also, I don’t know why it’s called blue cream, since the cream is not blue, the packaging is not blue and there isn’t any blue ingredient in it. So, I don’t get the name, but as far as I can tell, it’s something usual with Asian skin care products. They make some weird connections between English words and sometimes the names are a bit off.

I’m not saying this is a bad face cream, because I think it would be great for dry skin, but for my combination skin it’s a bit much and I need something lighter.
