Although I’ve tried the Mary & May by itself and it does a good job of keeping moisture in my skin overnight, I find putting the Illiyoon on top gives me the best results in terms of my hydration levels in the morning. The Isntree sleeping mask works very well too, I just find the Illiyoon to have the edge. And that might be partly down to the formula but partly down to actives drying out my skin so I need all the help I can get to keep moisture in my skin. As you might have read in my recent article on sleeping masks, slugging doesn’t work for me so finding a great last step is very important. A last step that dries down well, meaning it genuinely forms an occlusive film that doesn’t rub off easily (because I’m a sweaty, restless side sleeper) will therefore keep moisture in my skin better. Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream este o crema hidratanta special conceputa pentru pielea sensibila, ce are nevoie de reparare si hidratare.

The Illiyoon moisturiser uses encapsulated ceramides in tiny beads, which I mentioned above. Encapsulating ceramides is a great delivery system for getting them into the skin and the one in this moisturiser is even patented! The ceramides are made in a lab (not an animal product) so they’re not so expensive, hence the excellent price of this huge tube of moisturiser! Illiyoon vs Isntree Don’t be alarmed if you see or feel little tiny beads in the cream: it’s encapsulated ceramides, which is one of the most important features of this cream – I’ll talk more about this below.

The rich and creamy texture of Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream envelops your skin, cocooning it in a layer of replenishing goodness. What sets this cream apart is the presence of tiny capsules within the formulation. These capsules burst open upon application, ensuring that the ceramides, essential components of your skin's natural structure, are delivered most effectively to reinforce and fortify the skin barrier. Ceramides, often referred to as the "glue" between your skin cells, are another key ingredient in this formulation. They work tirelessly to strengthen the skin's protective moisture barrier, preventing moisture loss and maintaining optimal hydration levels. As a result, your skin feels remarkably smooth, firm, and supple, with the appearance of fine lines diminished. Whilst makeup will get rid of that shine, if you’re having a no make up day, Illiyoon will be your new bestie. The great thing about Illiyoon is that it dries down pretty matte without obscuring your K-Beauty glow. I’ve never had any issues with applying sunscreen or makeup on top of it. Illiyoon vs other sleeping masks

One of the standout ingredients in this cream is Vitamin E, a powerful and crucial oil-soluble antioxidant that plays a vital role in skin health. Vitamin E acts as a shield, protecting the skin from harmful free radicals and environmental stressors. By bolstering the skin's resilience against UV rays, it helps to maintain a youthful and radiant complexion. All skin types will enjoy how moisturizing this is without being greasy. Sensitive skin types especially appreciate its gentle and barrier repairing formula.

Alcohol-free. A few ingredients like Stearic Acid and Palmitic Acid could potentially be comedogenic, but only avoid if they’re known issues for you. I do think the Isntree is very good at soothing, too, although I’d argue the Illiyoon has the edge for barrier repair because of the ceramides. The Isntree does have ceramides but they’re much lower down the ingredient list and they may be a less effective version of ceramides because the Isntree doesn’t use the special type of ceramides that you find in the Illiyoon. However, without doubt the Isntree is more hydrating than the Illiyoon. Indulge your skin with the revitalizing benefits of Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream. Experience the opulent texture and the transformative power of its carefully selected ingredients. Restore your skin's moisture balance, reinforce its protective barrier, and reveal a complexion that exudes radiance, resilience, and unparalleled beauty. The FAB has the same light fluffy texture as the DE, but it’s actually quite moisturizing! The formula is pretty different though, FAB features colloidal oatmeal to soothe the skin, so if itchiness from dry skin is an issue FAB is a good option. I still find the Illiyoon more moisturizing though.
