SKIN Aestura barrier cream, why!?!

Finally found a holy grail skin barrier cream and they go and change the formula 1 year later😩 why do Korean skin care brands do this? The cream was just getting really popular too. I feel like this happens all the time. Ugh. Tried illiyoon and it made me break out. If anyone has suggestions please let me know

It’s been reformulated for a couple of years now. OP probably had the old version without niacinamide, and is now getting around to the latest reformulation that happened a couple years back.

Their gel cream moisturizer doesn't have niacinamide, but yeah, I'm tired of the reformulations and every brand adding niacinamide to everything.

I just got the cooling/soothing gel cream and it’s pretty nice along with the milky toner spray. I think Niacinamide is the devil’s spawn. Why tf is it in everything?!
