It's a gentle and mild product, so I used it with confidence, and it seems suitable for all skin types. ✌ Fragrance-free! It's hard for people sensitive to scents to find cosmetics, but this one has no fragrance at all, so there's no need to worry. 👌 The ingredient of Centella extract is good for sensitive skin. And do you see the pink lumps in the photo? They are Calamine powder capsules that are said to help soothe irritated skin. (The name also mentions it!) With these two beneficial ingredients combined, you can imagine how great it is, right??ㅎㅎㅎ This soothing gel helps calm sensitive skin and replenish moisture!! I recommend it for babies, pregnant women, and anyone with sensitive skin!
ConsThere's just one thing☝ There's a slight stickiness. When applying it to the body, it takes some time to absorb and dry before putting on clothes. Those sensitive to stickiness may want to think it over!
TipLike most soothing gels, the cooling sensation was great. It was helpful in cooling down the heat I built up from being out all day. I like to put it in the refrigerator for a bit before using it for an even cooler effect.

ConsAfter applying, there is a slight stickiness, but it's not a major issue.

Once applied, the capsules are absorbed. It is fragrance-free, so children apply it without any aversion. When applied, it provides a cooling sensation, so it's great for soothing inflamed skin!
ConsAfter application, there is a slight stickiness, but gently patting it in makes the stickiness disappear. You should apply it in small amounts and allow it to be absorbed!

But after using it myself, it's really great! After giving birth, my face would get flushed and heated up every summer, but after applying it, I feel like my skin becomes refreshingly cool and supple in no time. It also spreads on very smoothly and has a subtle fragrance, which I really like^^
ConsThe only downside is the slightly sticky feeling that's characteristic of soothing gels, which can be felt before it's fully absorbed. Addition) There's also a bit of itchiness after applying it ㅠㅠ

It is not too sticky or watery, so it doesn't drip much when applied. While used by adults, it is commonly used as a baby skincare product, making it easy to apply without dripping. The application feels thick at first, but it spreads quickly. It applies smoothly and the granules are absorbed quickly. - Packaging Many of these products come in pump-type packaging, but this one is in a tube. Both types have their pros and cons, but I think the tube type is more suitable for using the product completely. Since the formula is not too thick, you can easily squeeze out the remaining product by tapping the tube. - Moisturizing Power I usually think of soothing gels as something to be used with a lotion, as the skin can feel dry after using them. This is what I've heard from the time I was at the maternity ward with my first child up until now with my second. However, this product provides decent moisturization on its own. After application, it gets absorbed well and the skin doesn't feel tight over time. Of course, adding a lotion or cream on top would provide even better hydration. - Cooling Effect The product packaging states that it cools the skin by 4 degrees Celsius upon application. I was quite curious about this. While I couldn't measure the exact temperature, it does feel very cooling from the moment of application until it's absorbed. I think this would be great for treating heat rashes or sweating.
ConsThe absorption is a bit slow. And because of the slow absorption, there's a sticky (?) feeling during that time. It also gives a sense of having applied something thick on the skin... The price is not particularly cheap. While baby product brands are generally affordable, this soothing gel is not very inexpensive considering the volume.
TipMixing it with an oil or a highly moisturizing cream can be good, as it would reduce the need for double application!

When you apply the granules to your skin, they melt and get absorbed into the skin. And I'm not sure if this is a characteristic of soothing gels, but when you first apply it, there's a slight stickiness, but after a while, the applied area becomes soft and smooth. The color is transparent, which is nice. The moisturizing capsules are pink, so kids like them. When you squeeze it out, you can see the capsules and apply them.
ConsAs mentioned above, the stickiness of the soothing gel is a bit disappointing, but it disappears quickly, so it's not a big inconvenience. My son doesn't like to apply a lot of lotion, but with the soothing gel, he initially has trouble with the stickiness, but once it's applied, it disappears, so he's been applying it well.

It has a similar feel to the old Daiso gel, but less so. It applies like a serum - not drying or overly sticky. Since it's fragrance-free, there's hardly any scent to it. (Fragrance-free is not the same as no added fragrance - fragrance-free means no fragrance was added, while no fragrance means other ingredients were used to mask the scent.) It doesn't completely prevent pilling, but it's the least pilling of the ones I've tried (less than the Aromatica Labo gel). (I also don't use sunscreen.) As a gel, it has a cooling effect. The tube packaging is convenient and hygienic.
ConsIt's more expensive than other good quality products (more expensive than those products even without discounts). (I wish the price was lower or similar.) There is a slight stickiness, more so than the Aromatica gel. It's not immediately drying or tight, but does get a bit drying, so applying a cream helps. I don't feel a strong calming effect. The granules don't fail to dissolve and aren't painful, but I noticed them the day after first applying, when I could feel them slightly while applying (this may not bother others much).
TipFor those who want a more cooling application, you can apply it with a cotton pad or divide the gel into a smaller container to use it up faster.

I think it would be great for cooling and soothing irritated skin, especially in the summer. The ingredients are also good, so it can be used by the whole family, including pregnant women, children, and dads. I applied it to my 4-year-old child and there was no irritation at all, and the child liked the cooling sensation. I brought the small soothing gel sample that came with it when I went on a trip recently. It was effective in soothing my skin that was heated up by the sun at the outdoor pool and the beach. Dad, mom, and the child all used the small sample, but it wasn't enough. I regretted not bringing the full-size product!!
ConsThe absorption is not as quick as regular lotions. So there is some stickiness left behind, but this seems to be the case with all soothing gels, not just this product. So this wasn't a unique downside of this product. When using soothing gels, I've been keeping in mind that I need to allow some time for absorption.
TipOn days when your skin feels heated, putting it in the cool refrigerator and using it like a cold pack is great!!! It's refreshing and soothing even when just applied normally :) I think this will be an essential item for the upcoming summer season.

ConsThe slightly disappointing part is that maybe I applied too much? Since the spreadability is good, haha There's a slight stickiness at the end, but It's not so sticky and stuffy that I would complain about it
TipI've been applying it all over my body After taking a warm shower, I apply it I haven't tried applying it midway through the day yet, so ㅠㅠ I'm planning to use it when I go out in the summer I think it will be amazing Also, When I do a massage at home and my skin feels heated, applying it feels great

I had used their shampoo before and had a good impression of the brand since I liked it~ 💬 Fragrance For products used on babies, I always use fragrance-free products. Even if they are fragrance-free, some products have a slightly chemical smell, but this one has a subtle natural scent. 💬 Spreadability It has a transparent, fragrance-free color, and as soon as you apply it, you can feel a cooling sensation. The weather has been fluctuating between hot and cold lately due to the rain, so it's hard to judge accurately, but I think it will be very useful if it gets hotter. Like other soothing gels, the spreadability is excellent.
Cons💬 Absorption It seems to absorb more slowly than expected. I have to go over it a few times before it finally absorbs. That's probably why the sticky feeling is stronger. Other than that, I don't have any other complaints yet.
