COSRX Ultra Moisturizing Lotion Birch Reviews Summary

Texture & Consistency

Pros:

• "It's more like a serum-lotion consistency."
• "It's like a drink of water for my face! This lightweight lotion feels like a burst of freshness, and the birch sap is like nature's own hydrating secret."
• "The moisturizer is clear & lightweight. It applied nicely. My skin felt soft & moisturized."
• "This is the best facial moisturizing lotion! I use two pumps after cleansing and toning morning and evening, and it just soaks right into the skin."
• "It's very lightweight & feels great under makeup and after my other skincare steps."
• "Light weight, absorbs quickly, very slightly sticky once applied but it goes away quickly."
• "The gel formula is so light and bouncy on the skin, without being too rich or oily."

Cons:

• "But the moisturizing feel only lasts for a few minutes at most, and then I feel the need to add another layer."
• "30+ mins later my face doesn't really feel moisturized though, so maybe this light weight lotion is good for other skin types."
• "I have to keep applying several layers to even feel a tad bit moisturized."
• "After a month of use, my skin was becoming dried out quickly and it needed to be reapplied at least once an hour for my skin to not be flaky."
• "It's thin & seems to dry quickly, so once you rub it everywhere it 'dries' but feels a bit tacky."
• "This particular moisturiser makes my skin feel heavy (as if I’ve put too much products at the same time), greasy and oily within 30min-1h after applying it."
• "it feels a lot thicker on the skin."

Scent

Pros:

• "It has a slight scent but it's pleasant and doesn't bother me."
• "The lotion also smells great (a subtle fresh lemon/tea tree oil scent)."
• "The scent is lightly herbal and fades quickly, so no lingering scent."
• "The smell is distinctly birch, but doesn't linger."
• "Love the light scent tea tree and it feels lovely."
• "It smells wonderful, I'm assuming it's the birch sap that gives it a scent."
• "Wonderful light and fresh scent."

Cons:

• "Made sensitive skin break out in tiny bumps and rashes all over face, as others have also described. Scent is oddly sweet, like soda pop, which I could not get used to."
• "I’m shocked at the scent. Previously it was a very light, pleasant scent. It now actually smells like mildew, or damp dirt."
• "The smell is overwhelming and horrible. It smells like a stale warehouse that has been uninhabited for thirty years."
• "I bought this because of the great reviews but I do have to say, it does not smell pleasant at all."
• "I don’t like the smell. To me it’s like a medicinal, pine, tea tree kind of scent."
• "The smell doesn't bother me too much but it's like the musty, mushroom earth you'd smell in the woods."
• "Not a fan of the lemony pine-sol smell."

Packaging & Dispenser

Pros:

• "Sanitary dispenser which works really well, no leaking and dispenses the perfect amount."
• "Sleek bottle to use, and will reorder."
• "The pump is very helpful to distribute the amount consistently every time."
• "This is soothing, has a creamy gel-like texture, and smells nice."
• "A small amount goes a long way and it definitely is moisturizing."
• "I like this lotion because it’s benign on my skin and doesn’t burn, make me break out, or cause a rash or reaction."
• "I absolutely love this moisturizer! I just purchased my third bottle of this stuff!"
