IOPE STEM III Cream, Intense Anti-aging Moisturizer

It made my skin so hydrated! My skin also felt soft !!

Very nice moisturizer that has a silky smooth gel like texture. I found it very soothing to apply, a little goes a long way which is good since it's not easy on the wallet haha. I'll also say the bottle is simply beautiful, I can see why it has the refillable center, it's really pretty on the counter. It does leave the skin nice and hydrated, does feel like a total hydration barrier, locking the moisture to the skin which is very nice. My one caveat is how long it takes to soak in, it leaves a somewhat tacky feeling behind and easily takes over an hour to feel like it's soaked in enough so there is no more stickiness. Perhaps that's part of how it creates the barrier but just something to be aware of. Otherwise it's a lovely hydrator that makes my skin feel plump and healthy. I do recommend.

Update: so Ive been using this cream over a month now so far I love this! My skin feels also looks very youthful, healthy, full looking! Only downside is stickiness. If you're not a fan of sticky cream, this cream isn't best for you. But, if you don't mind the stickiness this cream is amazing. I wish this cream wasn't so expensive.-----------I've been knowing and seeing IOPE brand since I was little from my mom and my sister's skin cabinets. I am in my mid 30's now. I started seeing more wrinkles around my face especially around my eye areas and my mouth. I do need some goof hydrating and a product could prevent my aging skin. I usually avoid IOPE and their sister brands because the company tends to use lots of fragrances. I often breakout from the ingredients. But I decided to give this product a try. Because this product does not contain added fragrances.Here are some of my thoughts below,Pros:- easy access to purchse online even for non Korean- Very hydrating without breaking out- No added fragrance! (Very happy about this)- Refillable package (see cons below)Cons:- Expensive price range.- Can't find the refill version on US Amazon yet.- Takes a longer time to absorb.Overall, I adore this product, despite its expensive price. I appreciate the option to purchase a refill online, although I haven't seen the refill version on US Amazon yet. I hope to see it on US Amazon soon. I also love the fact that this product is free from added fragrances. The price could be lower, but IOPE and their sister brands are known for higher-end products. Overall, it's worth trying if you have aging skin like myself.

Great moisturizer. I'm pretty picky, and I really like this one. The texture of this cream immediately reminded me of another product I tried a couple years ago, Botanic Heal Derma Water Ceramide Gel Cream. While IOPE Stem III Cream doesn't have the same phenomenal scent, it's also very effective regardless of the underlying toners and serums I've used underneath it, in contrast to Botanic Heal. I typically prefer facial serums and moisturizers than contain plant oils, but unlike many other reviewers it seems, I also prefer some alcohol content and immediately sensed the presence of it upon first usage. The iope dot com website for this product lists all ingredients, but it curiously doesn't mention anything about plant stem cells, which I had presumed were present with a name like "Stem III". I've tried facial moisturizers containing both plant and human stem cells, and these seem to typically provide benefit, but the absence of these doesn't detract from this product. Quite the contrary, this is a great product, and comes at a significant discount per ounce relative to many more expensive albeit less effective products I've tried over the last few years.

I really like this face cream. It’s super thick and rich and has a non-offensive, pleasantly “clean” smell. I feel like you don’t need very much because of how rich it is, but it makes my skin look absolutely beautifully moisturized the next morning if I put on a little extra. The absorption leaves a little to be desired for sure… I feel like it doesn’t sink in quite as well as I would like even with a thinner layer. I always have a sticky film on my face when I wake up, and it causes minor irritation if it gets in my eyes. Now is it $74 good? I don’t think so, but I’m the sort of person who uses drugstore skin products and my skin does fine, so your mileage may vary.

This moisturizer comes in a nice heavier duty cardboard box to help protect the glass container. The container looks very nice and makes this product look very high quality. The glass bottle is also pretty heavy and looks pretty durable. It's also reusable as it looks like one can just reorder the moisturizer by itself and place it into the glass shell.As for the moisturizer itself, I made the mistake of putting on too much the first time. The product is somewhat gel like and absorbs well. I put more on the first time since I was using it overnight. However, it ended up leaving a sticky feeling that I noticed through a good portion of the night as my face kept sticking to my pillowcase. Since then, I have been reducing the amount to find a good balance. Only a little is really needed to get good coverage. Plus, this hydrates really well. I can feel a good difference the following morning. Since it's been getting colder where I am, having this has been helpful lately to recover during the evening. Also, this moisturizer has no scent.

This moisturizer comes in a heavy frosted square glass container that’s purple with a silver brushed top. The design is pretty cool because the part with product can pop out so you can get a refill for the jar. The moisturizer has a gel-like consistency that feels soothing and slightly cooling to apply. I thought it would be a more lightweight moisturizer at first, but it ended up feeling heavier once on my face. It is slower to absorb and leaves some tackiness, but it does leave my face feeling softer and looking brighter.
