Why COSRX Balancium Comfort Ceramide Cream comes out ahead

Hydration Efficacy is another area of separation. Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Moisturizer scores 9.8 here versus 9.4 for COSRX Balancium Comfort Ceramide Cream. That difference comes down to how each formula is built — the ingredient list tells the story.
