The aquaporins supposedly open up, and it comes out thick and sticky, but it's quickly absorbed and finishes off soft and fluffy, which I like.
Cons
Probably because the formulation is a bit thick, it wears off faster than other Step 2 and 3 products.

I have acne-prone skin, but I don't get breakouts when I use this product. It's more economical than going to a dermatologist, so I'm going to keep using it. It's effective despite my dry skin.
Cons
The price is evil..ㅠㅠ It's too expensive, so I have to use it sparingly I wish it was a little cheaper.

We are using the same hydration line. You can think of it as the first skin as a booster. The sticky texture can be applied and massaged, and it will absorb without any stickiness. This means it has been applied well.
Cons
The price is on the higher side, and the quantities of the first and second products are usually similar, but the second product tends to run out faster. So it's difficult to use 1, 2, and 3 in a set, and once you finish one, you have to buy the set again, which is a downside.
Tip
The Shibasan hydration line needs to be applied with proper massaging for good absorption and to prevent makeup from sliding off. You should not use a large amount from the beginning, but gradually increase the quantity.

The booster is as good as its name. With a watery formulation, it absorbs quickly at first, making it a great product to apply as the initial step. It doesn't feel sticky and seems to facilitate the absorption of the next step products. It's an FDA-approved product, and I'm also pleased that it doesn't cause any skin troubles. There's a noticeable difference when you use it versus when you don't. I'm very satisfied with it.
Cons
The only downside, if I had to point one out, is that the watery formulation makes it get used up a bit more generously compared to 2-step products, and the price-to-volume ratio is a bit disappointing.

It absorbs quickly It flows down like water and feels light, but it replenishes moisture well.
Cons
The price is not very affordable The price seems to be an issue Using the 3 together creates synergy.
Tip
It's good to use step 3 together It's recommended to try the kit first

I used the Siba Mountain Balsam Personal Kit, consisting of B5 Ampoule, M3 Ampoule, and Balsam Moisture Cream, for 1 month. My skin is no longer as dry, and the blemishes I had developed due to recent stress and a busy schedule have significantly diminished. My skin tone has also become brighter.
Cons
It's expensive. I spent over 120,000 won on it, but I can't use it for long.

The texture is chewy and dense, but when I apply it, it glides on smoothly! I really liked how it felt like it was immediately absorbed into my skin.
Cons
The price seems to be the downside. It's moisturizing, but I'm not sure if it's really worth the price.

It absorbs deeply and effectively eliminates oiliness, so breakouts don't even occur haha
Cons
The volume is a bit small, which is a shame, but since you don't need to use a lot, it lasts a long time. However, there are times when you wish you could use more.
Tip
Rather than applying it right away, it's better to use it in steps, allowing it to be fully absorbed, for the best results.

This is a moisturizing and nourishing product. As I have sensitive skin, I cannot use products with irritants, fermented ingredients, natural ingredients, or propolis. I use this product 2-3 times a week, usually at night when I feel tightness during the day after applying makeup. When I wake up, my skin is so hydrated and dewy that I don't even want to wash my face. It really helps with my dry skin. I recommend using this when your skin's moisture balance is disrupted or when regular toners don't seem to be enough for your dryness. This is a highly nourishing aesthetic product, so I personally think using it daily might be too much. Make sure to do a proper deep cleansing and exfoliation before using this to avoid any adverse effects. I recommend this for both dry and dehydrated skin types. Even my sibling with acne-prone skin uses this and finds their blemishes significantly reduced in the morning. However, I'm not sure how effective it would be for extremely oily or problematic skin types.
Cons
The product is quite expensive, and proper pre- and post-use care (deep cleansing & sticky? massage) is also important. Proper dosage control is crucial, as using too much of the final 3-step cream can easily lead to breakouts. When used correctly, it's an amazing product, but...ㅜㅜㅠ
Tip
1. Deep cleansing (exfoliation, sebum control, acne extraction) - I tend to do this a bit excessively. I apply the Sibasan Pigmal cream all over my face, sleep with it overnight, and then use the product the next night. Or I use AHA/BHA lotions for exfoliation, and extract any visible blackheads or whiteheads on my nose and cheeks. For basic cleansing, I use a little less than the recommended amount of the Leepo powder wash, lathering it up gently, or the Seedwall Kakadu gel cleanser. (In summer, I do this once a week / currently, I do it every 2-3 weeks or even less frequently) 2. Finish with a very lightweight water-based toner, or go straight to applying the Step 1 booster - Apply only 4-5 drops, about the size of an ant's egg, on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, and spread it evenly. The instructions say to fully absorb it, but I just spread it and gently pat it in 3 times with my palms before moving on to the next step. 3. Apply Step 2 the same way, using 4-5 drops. This is also a very watery formula, so you have to spread it immediately after applying, or it will start to drip. 4. There's a "sticky? massage" technique you can find on YouTube or Naver. After Steps 1 and 2, you press and pat the product into the skin to help it absorb deeply. At first, it feels slippery, but at some point it will start to feel sticky and adhere to your skin. That's when you can move on to the next step. 5. Apply the Step 3 cream. Adjust the amount based on the weather and your skin condition. Don't apply it thickly and moisturize, but rather in a thin, coating layer, like how you'd apply a thin layer of foundation. I use an amount between a 10-won and 50-won coin. The goal is a slightly dewy, not overly oily, finish. 6. If needed, you can add the Mats cream on top. I haven't tried this yet, but if your skin feels too tight, adding a bit more on top could help. 7. Sufficient sleep... Honestly, even just 3-4 hours of sleep can give you amazing results the next day when you look in the mirror.

After extracting the milia, I'm managing it with the Sibasan ampoule, and it feels nicely moisturized.
Cons
The price range is too expensive 😢 The volume is also small, and it's a waste to use just a drop.
Tip
If you pat it on, you can achieve a more supple skin expression!
