Although the cream has a greenish tint, it helps calm redness once applied and the green color disappears.
ConsApplying the cream with my fingers was a bit tricky as it was difficult to control the amount. I wouldn't recommend using this cica cream under makeup, as the makeup tends to slip off.
TipIf you want a natural, glowing look, mixing this cream with a luminous sunscreen or BB cream and using it for short outdoor trips could be a good option.

The glass bottle with the thin can lid has a subtle grassy scent, which makes it feel luxurious. The application is similar to other sunscreens, with some whitening effect, but it eventually blends in well with the skin tone, which I think is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The volume is an absolute beast - it's labeled as 50ml, but it feels like 200ml! Overall, I think the price is worth it.
ConsHowever, the reason I gave it 3 stars is that the gritty granules were really irritating. I'm not sure if that's the reason, but when applying it for going out and layering it with other products, the granules would kind of disgustingly get pushed around. :( Also, over time it felt increasingly sticky... Personally, I wouldn't recommend this to those with oily skin types like myself.

The absorption is questionable, as the heavy texture seems to sit on the face rather than absorbing well. The moisturizing power is moderate - there is no tightness, but it doesn't feel particularly hydrating either. Skin type: Oily
ConsWhile no breakouts occurred after using this product, it had more downsides than expected. The application is not smooth and soft, and there is a noticeable lifting/pilling effect on the face after application. The absorption into the skin is also unsatisfactory, resulting in a sliding/shifting effect.
TipDue to the lifting and sliding issues, it's better not to apply this product like a lotion or cream. Instead, dab and pat it on the face like applying foundation for better absorption and to avoid the lifting effect. Using a soft ampoule afterwards can also help achieve a more hydrated, nourished look.

As for the good points, I'm not quite sure. Even so, the reason I give it 3 points is because it's Cicapair, so I have a feeling it might have some effect.
ConsIt spreads a lot... That was the case for me. To be honest, I was actually trying to buy the regular Cica cream, but I accidentally bought it at the duty-free store. ㅠㅠ

ConsThe application is smooth, but when you apply it, there's a lingering, uncomfortable feeling and a creamy texture that leaves marks when applied by hand.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe color suited my skin tone well, it was 17-21 shades. Though it was a fair tone, when I didn't apply anything, my skin looked a bit dull, but this product breathed life into it. I love how it doesn't leave any residue when applied. If you apply the right amount, this alone is great to use in the winter. It's a good product to wear when the weather is cold. Honestly, I used this for three years straight in high school, of course, only in the winter...if you wear it when it's hot, the oil can be really excessive and it may cause breakouts.
ConsFirst of all, you shouldn't wear it when it's hot because the oiliness is extreme. And I used to use this as a base and then apply a tone-up sunscreen on top to polish my skin, but at some point, when I started using this as a makeup base, the things I applied on top wouldn't adhere and would peel off, really badly! It would even start to slide off. Trying to clean up the peeled-off parts and the flaky skin with a cotton swab, I'd end up wiping off the essence I had applied underneath as well, which was such a waste of time and so frustrating. So I'd recommend just using this on its own. It doesn't have great coverage, but it still works okay.
TipDon't wear it when it's hot, the oiliness is just way too much, it gets really shiny. And I recommend just using this on its own as a base, without layering anything on top. Otherwise, the other makeup products won't apply well.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsDuring seasonal changes or extremely cold weather, when your skin feels like it's turning inside out and cracking, that's when using a natural basic skincare routine is best. When your skin is in that condition, using products that are less irritating and less ~~painful for your basic skincare routine can help. I use it instead of a base, and while regular coverage may not be as good as a compact or powder, it does a pretty good job of covering redness or flushing in the skin.~^^
ConsBalancing the amount is quite a concern ㅠ If I apply a lot as directed, it gets cakey, lifts, and gets shiny ㅠ If I only use a small amount, the coverage doesn't work well and it disappears quickly ㅠ And very rarely, but veeery rarely, it can be a bit irritating or leave small bumps in the evening. It seems to be because of the high oil content ㅠ And it's a bit expensive ㅠ
Tip1. If you wait, it will go on sale. There are also occasional mobile-only promotions and giveaways. 2. Using a sponge puff like a wedge puff can greatly improve the application experience. It seems thinner than foundation and thicker than a base for me.

It helps control redness well and evens out skin tone. When going to work, just apply this instead of sunscreen and lip balm, and your makeup is done. I recommend this to those who don't do much makeup. It doesn't look shiny, and the final finish is nicely powdery, so if you just do your basic skincare well and apply it, your skin will look very smooth.
ConsIt might not be suitable for dry skin. First of all, the application is quite thick, so it doesn't spread smoothly. If you don't apply a very matte base moisturizer, it can peel off like a mask. Since the product is a light green cream type, you need to rub it in well to blend it into your skin tone, but for those with very dry skin, this could be uncomfortable or irritating.
TipIt's best to apply it after thoroughly doing your basic skincare and applying a moisturizing cream. Ideally, you would use this and then apply a cushion foundation, but if you're only using one, make sure your face is as moisturized as possible before applying. I'm not extremely dry-skinned, but I'm dry, so I spray a mist and then finish with a cream.

It covers my reddish skin well and I apply it instead of moisturizer when my skin is dry. It's suitable for daily use.
ConsIf you apply it too thickly, it gets cakey and peels off. You have to apply it very thinly.

It effectively manages facial redness and flushing. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and it has a non-greasy, velvety texture. It helps create a clear skin tone, but I wouldn't recommend it for those with dull, dry skin. The green-toned formula gives a soothing, calming appearance. It also has sun protection function, so you can apply it like a BB cream. It seems suitable for skin with redness and oiliness. The formula is easy to control and spread evenly. After applying it and a light lipstick, it gives a natural, put-together look without feeling heavy. Even though my face tends to have makeup breakdown quickly, this product doesn't get oily or break down easily.
Cons~The adhesion could be better. The non-greasy, velvety texture can sometimes cause patchiness or leave fingerprints if not applied carefully. ~As a dry-skinned person, I found the moisture level decreasing over time. ~The glass packaging is heavy and inconvenient. The screw-top lid is troublesome to use when touching up on the go. It would have been better if they offered an aluminum tube or a travel-friendly version.
TipRecommended for those with oily, ruddy complexion and enlarged pores. Not recommended for dry-skinned individuals as it lacks any oil content. Also not suitable for those with dull, lifeless complexion as it may make the skin appear more pallid. For sensitive skin prone to breakouts or redness, using this with the Skinfood Bitter Green Kale Clay Mask followed by the Cyanics Tea Tree line (personally recommend the Cyanics Tea Tree Skin, Tea Tree Oil, and Tea Tree Gel) can make a dramatic difference. I personally use a combination of the Cyanics Tea Tree line and Dr. Jart+ Cicapair products (cream, ampoule, recovery) depending on my daily skin condition, and have seen significant improvement in my sensitive complexion.
