After my emulsion, I apply this as my heavier moisturizer. 

This cream performs well as a medium-weight moisturizer that amply hydrates the skin. It is a no-fuss cream that sinks in quickly and leaves the skin feeling nice and moisturized. I have combo skin, and I don't find that it makes my oily bits, extra oily, which is always good in my book. 

As far as the ingredients go, I have to admit to being a bit baffled at what Ice Plant is. A little Googling has led me to this: 

"A variety of ice plant" 

According to Google, Ice Plants can hold so much water, that if they are carefully maintained, they will not burn. That seems like a good indicator that this ingredient will provide moisture, and indeed it does. 

For the price, I really like the Super Aqua Deep Hydro Cream. If you happen to get it during one of Missha's great 30-40% off sales like I did, it is really a steal. If you want a bland moisturizer that can provide great moisture levels, check this out!

I bought mine directly from Missha
