About belif

Belif is a Korean skincare brand that integrates the concepts of centuies-old herbal apothecary in its products. The company has a diverse portfolio of skincare products. The brand claims that it is the ‘most truthful skincare brand.’ It draws inspiration from a renowned medical herbalist, Duncan Napier, who was able to cure his chronic cold symptoms using various herbs to make a cough syrup. Just like the renowned medical herbalist, the company incorporates true herbs in its products to give the best results to its customers.

About The True Cream—Moisturizing Bomb

The True Cream—Moisturizing Bomb has a slightly thick gel-like consistency. The cream is free from parabens, phthalates, and sulfates. It is dermatologically tested and doesn’t include any synthetic preservatives, fragrances, mineral oils, animal origin ingredients, or dyes. The cream is suited for normal and dry skin and provides a perfect solution for flakiness and loss of elasticity.

After application, the cream is supposed to “burst” and provide moisture to the skin. The formula contains comfrey leaf, which leads to the cream’s soothing and hydrating properties. Even though it is a bit thick at first, after application, the cream blends right into the skin just like the brand’s aqua bomb. It feels like a gift for dehydrated and dry skin.

Personal Opinion

After trying the aqua bomb from the same brand, I thought, why not give this product a try. The moisturizer makes my skin feel very soft after use. I think it is a bit thicker than the brand’s aqua bomb. After one month of use, I have not observed this product breaking my face despite having a little rich texture. This is a huge advantage for me.

I can feel the effect of the cream for about 8–10 hours after use. It is a great moisturizer for dry skin types, and when it comes to the brand claims, I think this product does justice to that. The only limiting factor to me was the product's fragrance, which I feel could have been avoided. I give this product 4 out of 5 for its instant moisturizing effect.
