I tend to be intrigued by Korean skincare formulations, as they often use different actives from what I can normally get, and this little dual-chamber moisturizer is certainly neat. The tube reminds me of toothpaste, but is split into two chambers that dispense in a swirled ribbon out the top. I can't say if there's an actual reasoning for that, but I assume there is; each side holds different ingredients of course. It came with a tamper seal and expiration date printed on, which I always appreciate.The cream itself is smooth and lightweight, though perhaps very slightly watery, at least moreso than my preference. It doesn't feel heavy enough for a night cream, but it's not slippery either. It absorbs decently, though there is a slight tackiness for the first few minutes, which can put some people off. From my experience, it layers well under sunscreen and the scent is so mild that I would almost call it unscented. I had no irritation and no clogged pores.As for the tube, I'm not sure the design is fully polished, as neat as it is. The two creams don't always come out at the same time, though the directions try to help and note squeezing from the middle. Ingredients and everything else is pretty good, and the value is decent for the price. The tube quirks and the tackiness + sliiiight wateriness is what made me lean towards four stars, but it's not bad.

I’ve been experimenting with NAD skincare for a while and have personally used several popular options, including Eqqualberry NAD Cream, Anua NAD Serum, Numbuzin NAD Cream, and Centellian24 Madeca Cream. They’re not “bad” products, but after using them side by side, epii Double Up Cream with NAD is the one that clearly performed best for me.Eqqualberry NAD Cream was lightweight and easy to apply, but it felt a bit too basic for the price. On my skin, the hydration didn’t last long, and I found myself reapplying or needing an extra layer on top, especially in the winter. It also didn’t give me any noticeable improvement beyond normal moisturizing.Anua NAD Serum absorbed quickly and layered well, but it didn’t feel like a complete product. I still needed a separate moisturizer after it, and if I used too much it could feel slightly tacky. For me, it was more of an “add-on step” than something that made a big difference on its own.Numbuzin NAD Cream had a nice initial feel, but I noticed it could sit on top of the skin a bit depending on what I layered underneath. It also wasn’t consistent — some days it felt fine, other days it felt like it didn’t absorb evenly and I’d get slight pilling. Overall it was okay, just not reliable enough for daily use.Centellian24 Madeca Cream is great for calming and barrier support, but it’s not really a NAD-focused “performance” cream in practice. On my skin it could feel a little occlusive/heavy if I used a normal amount, and while it helped soothe, it didn’t give the brighter, healthier, more energized look I was hoping to get from NAD products.epii’s cream stood out immediately because it felt more complete and more effective. The texture is richer without being greasy, it absorbs well, and it doesn’t pill in my routine. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, my skin felt more resilient, smoother, and noticeably healthier — especially when I woke up. It also simplified my routine because it covered hydration + recovery in one step, instead of needing serum + cream + extra layers.What ultimately sets epii apart for me is that it delivers both comfort and visible improvement, without the common annoyances I ran into with the others (short-lasting hydration, tackiness, pilling, or heaviness). I’ve stopped rotating and now use this consistently as my main cream.If you’ve tried other NAD products and felt they were fine but not standout, this one is worth trying. For me, epii clearly outperformed the rest.

Does not work don’t waste your money

I love this cream. Super moisturizing and calming. My sensitive skin finds it soothing. Not occlusive where my skin can’t breathe. Easy to wear and apply sunscreen to without pulling.

It leaves my skin feeling soft and bouncy.

This cream is the best daily cream anyone can ask for. I love it.

First time user, 33f. I've been using this cream for a couple of months now, just finishing my first tube. I have combo skin, oily t zone and dry, as well as, sensitive acne prone skin. I was looking to "size down" from the immense skin care products that can offer and target more than 1 personal concern, and this double up cream has made a notable difference. My skin texture has improved, fine lines has reduced, and eventhough this cream is lightweight the way it absorbs into the skin makes it feel super moisturizing like you would get from a thicker cream, but obviously it isn't. Definitely worth the purchase. I have not had any issues w burning or acne breakout using this and I'm super sensitive. Just the other day I was admiring how my face/skin looked in my car mirror as the sun was beaming on me.

Loving this new K-Beauty product. I have used every product under the sun, and this one stands out. I love the inventive packaging that mixes two creams. It has a wonderful texture, is non-greasy, and makes my sensitive, mature skin look and feel great. It will take a while to see if the science lives up to the promise, but it's off to a good start. Highly recommend.
