IOPE STEM III Korean Intensive Moisturizer - Antiaging Face Cream with Niacinamide, Dermatologically Tested Skin Barrier Repair with peptide, Korean Timeless Skin Care, Wrinkle Care

Really love this cream! It's super hydrating - I typically use it at night, and when I wake up the next morning my skin feels absolutely bouncy and dewy (which is something I value with my 39-yr old skin :) I have sensitive skin and this is extremely gentle. While it's a bit pricey, a little goes a long way and you get quite a lot of product in the container. Will definitely keep this as a regular part of my skin regimen!

Let me preface this by confessing that for more than a decade I have been addicted to Amore Pacific's Time Response line - with their $450 creams and $600 serums. I have absolute faith in that company and their different lines - so when I saw that IOPE was owned by AP I decided to try this cream as a possibly lighter weight option for the summer, and now this line has completely replaced my terribly expensive K-Beauty creams!! It is just sheer perfection - super hydrating, yet somehow light weight and more absorbing than almost anything else I have used. Combined with their Ampoule and the toners in this line it's an all around skin solution which somehow manages to be both effective, efficient and luxurious. This cream will really transform your skin - I have gotten all of my friends addicted to it as well, and it's perfect to use over your retinoids or retinol lotions. My skin feels better than it has in years and is staying smooth and hydrated all winter. I love the glass containers too - it just feels like they thought of everything to keep the cream staying fresh and not absorbing plastics. Yes, this is more expensive than COSRX or Medicube but it is such a wonderful cream I cannot recommend it enough. I am addicted!!!

Best ever! Skins glows, tightens, feels so hydrated!!! Will use forever!

I’ve been loyal to IOPE’s Super Vital cream for years, so I wasn’t sure anything could top it… but this STEM III Intensive Moisturizer truly does. It has that same rich, nourishing feel IOPE is known for, but with a more refined texture that absorbs beautifully without any heaviness and does not feel sticky. I’m 52 with post-menopausal, mature skin that needs deep hydration and support — especially around areas where fine lines are becoming more noticeable. After a few weeks of using this, my skin feels firmer, bouncier, and more resilient in the morning. The smoothness and glow are noticeable, even on my “tired” days. A little goes a long way (which is great at this price point), and it protects my moisture barrier without leaving any oily residue. It layers perfectly with my serums and doesn’t pill under makeup. One thing I especially appreciate: the jar is refillable. Unlike my Super Vital cream, this comes in a gorgeous heavy glass jar designed to last — reducing waste and helping minimize my carbon footprint. It feels like true luxury but in the smartest way. IOPE is already a high-performance brand I trust, and this moisturizer feels like a step up in science and results. Well worth the investment. My skin looks healthier and more lifted — I’m definitely repurchasing.

Moisturizing: Great moisturizer Quality: iope is no Hera or La Mer but heavier duty than Clinique’s Greasiness: none
