Radiant "Glass-Skin" Finish: The lightweight yet rich finish leaves skin looking luminous, healthy, reflective, and "glassy"—the coveted glass skin effect everyone seeks.
-
Improves Skin Resilience: With barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides and nourishing oils, skin feels stronger, more resilient, and less reactive over time with consistent use.

Luxurious Feel at Reasonable Price: Users consistently mention the texture and finish feel high-end and expensive, though the value is excellent and jar lasts a long time due to concentrated formula requiring minimal product.
Core Ingredients
-
Glycerin (Glycerol): Powerful humectant that draws moisture into skin, supports skin barrier function, protects against irritation, helps restore barrier integrity, and provides immediate hydration and comfort.
-
Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil & Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil: Emollient plant oils full of nourishing fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic acids), vitamin E, and antioxidants to soften, smooth, condition skin and provide lipid barrier support.
-
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: Rich natural butter providing deep nourishment, fatty acids, and vitamins A and E. Helps restore dry, depleted skin and locks in intense moisture.
-
Polyglutamic Acid (γ-PGA): Hydrating amino acid polymer that helps skin hold onto moisture, supports multi-layer hydration, prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and supports the "glass skin" radiance and plumping effect.
-
Ceramide NP (Ceramide 3): Key lipid component that helps rebuild and maintain skin's protective barrier, prevents moisture loss, supports barrier resilience, and improves skin barrier function.
-
Botanical Extracts (Hamamelis Virginiana/Witch Hazel, Centella Asiatica/Cica, Camellia Sinensis/Green Tea, Glycyrrhiza Glabra/Licorice Root, Scutellaria Baicalensis, Polygonum Cuspidatum, Chamomilla Recutita): Multiple botanical actives that calm, soothe, brighten, reduce pores, provide antioxidant protection, and protect skin from environmental stressors.
-
Betaine, Trehalose, Xylitol, Allantoin: Additional humectants and skin conditioning agents that provide comprehensive hydration, soothe irritation, and support skin comfort and barrier repair.
Important Notes
-
Ideal for Dry/Dehydrated Skin: This cream is rich and nourishing—ideal for dry, dehydrated, or compromised skin types. For oily or very acne-prone skin, use with caution, apply lighter layer, or reserve for nighttime use to avoid excessive shine or congestion.
-
Patch Test Recommended: Always do a patch test before full use, especially if you have sensitive skin, known sensitivities, or are using active treatments (retinoids, acids, vitamin C).
-
Check Current Formulation: Since product formulations may vary or update over time, always check your packaging for the most current and accurate full ingredients list before use.
-
Requires SPF in AM: Use alongside a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) in the morning. This cream helps with deep hydration and barrier support but does not replace SPF protection—SPF is essential daily.
-
Storage & Hygiene: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid contamination by using clean hands or a provided spatula when scooping product from jar to prevent bacterial growth.
-
Made in Korea: TIRTIR is a South Korean skincare brand emphasizing quality, efficacy, and clean beauty principles—products are manufactured to Korean beauty standards.
Step 1 - Cleanse & Prepare Skin: Start with a freshly cleansed face and complete your toning/essence routine. Ensure skin is completely clean and slightly damp or completely dry depending on your skin's needs—damp skin enhances absorption while dry skin prevents dilution.
Step 2 - Scoop Product: Using the provided spatula or clean fingertips, scoop an appropriate amount of cream—approximately a pea-sized amount or coin-sized dollop depending on face size and dryness level. The concentrated formula requires minimal product for full face coverage.
Step 3 - Warm & Apply: Rub the cream between your palms for 5-10 seconds to warm it slightly using body heat, then gently apply along the texture of your skin (face and neck), smoothing outward and upward motions. Focus on dry areas and dehydration-prone zones (cheeks, around eyes, mouth area).
Step 4 - Pat & Press In: Gently pat the cream into skin using your fingertips or press lightly—this enhances absorption and allows the whipped texture to melt fully into skin without dragging or tugging sensitive areas.
Step 5 - Evening Use (Recommended): Use preferably in the evening for best effect, especially if your skin is dry, feels stripped, or has barrier concerns. The rich formula works overnight to repair and intensively hydrate.
Morning Alternative: You may also use it in the morning under SPF if your skin tolerates richer creams, though morning use requires lighter application to avoid excess shine. For combination skin in morning, use thinner layer on T-zone.
Pro Tip for Combination Skin: If your skin is oily or combination, use a lighter layer or reserve for nighttime use to avoid excessive shine or feeling heavy during the day. Many combination skin users successfully use this as a nightly intensive treatment.
Frequency: Use nightly for dry/dehydrated skin. For combination skin, 3-5 times weekly or as needed for hydration. Can be used year-round, especially beneficial during harsh winter months or when skin barrier is compromised.
