First Impression & Application: ★★★★★

Dispense a certain amount of product by pressing the pump, apply it on the body/face. I usually use as my whole body before my bedtime, after my shower. It's a lightweight & non-sticky, medium consistency lotion, that's not occlusive. It has ingredients that can soothe the skin & heal it at the same time.

Pros:

• Light-weight, fast absorption & non-sticky
• Improve skin barrier
• Provides hydration + moisturisation (ceramide)
• Non-irritating to itchy/red skin
• No fragrance

Cons:

• Slight oiliness
• Not enough hydration & moisturisation for extremely dry/cracking/itchy skin

Final Thoughts & Conclusion:

Illiyoon (Chi: 一理潤), a dermatology focused brand targeting to provide moisture (潤) to the skin. It has the brand's patented Ceramide Skin Complex, encapsulated ceramide to heal the skin barrier & maintain its healthiness (3.27ppm = 0.00337%). The brand's products are also 8 free: Animal-derived ingredients, mineral oil, artificial color, fragrance, Paraben (personally I don't really mind paraben as it acts as a preservative for the product), PEG Surfactant, Triethanolamine, Imidazolidinyl Urea.

Ceramide Ato Lotion, Ceramide, you get it because of the ingredient list has their patented Ceramide. What about Ato? Ato is a common word used in Korean skincare, marketed to be sensitive skin friendly. Ato came from the word Atopic a.k.a. atopic dermatitis, like eczema, rosacea, contact dermatitis and more skin concerns. When you see the word ATO in Korean skincare/body care products, it usually means that it's suitable for sensitive skin. But be sure to check the ingredient list for any triggering ingredients for your skin (not everyone react the same to the ingredients that trigger your irritation/inflammation. E.g. Essential oil may be an irritant for some people, but some may not be affected at all).

Looking at the ingredient list & using my 3rd 528ml bottle already, I can say that it's a very sensitive-skin friendly product. For the first time, I bought the 350ml one (linked below), even though the bigger volume one is so much more worth it.

Usually if I have itchy/red skin, when I put on a lotion, it'll always be more itchy & red. But this Ceramide Ato Lotion, never caused any itchiness, even provide hydration & healed the skin from being further irritated the next day. I applied this lotion to my whole body from shoulder to feet (2-3 pumps), I'll feel slight oiliness to touch once it has dried off, but it doesn't bother me much because I'm going to bed anyways.

It can be used on both face & body, but I've never tried putting it on my face at all. WILL UPDATE ABOUT IT AFTER I'VE TRIED IT

- Razor burn mark after putting the lotion for 1 day -

    

- Razor burn after putting the lotion for 3 days -

    

As shown in the pictures above, it really does heal my skin when I have scratches or razor burns, but of course, the effect is not immediate & it takes time.

However, when I had extremely dry & cracked skin, especially on my fingers, it doesn't provide the adequate amount of moisturisation. It did soothes & smoothen the skin at first, but it doesn't lock in & moisturise it for long, due to it's not a very thick occlusive lotion, like creams. I have to re-apply after it gets dried until I feel it's enough.

A plastic containing the lotion inside the bottle,
squeeze the bottle to apply pressure
& pump up with bottom lotion when you reached to almost the last,
usually the lotion will come up.
Cutting off the bottle, there's only left with a little amount.

Previously, I've been using Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Vera's lotion for many years, that has been preventing my skin from being irritated, but this heals my skin so much better than Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Lotion. For occlusion, Vaseline's did a better job than the latter.

Price vs. Value: ★★★★☆

350ml RM40-50 lasts for 1 month

528ml RM50-60 lasts for 2-2.5 months, whole body application

Repurchase? ★★★★★

So far it's one of the best lotion I've used that has healing properties & emptied a lot of bottles
