It applies smoothly and is well-absorbed. I usually don't do well with shea butter, but I didn't get any big pimples.
ConsOily skin tends to get shiny over time. I'd recommend using it at night rather than during the day.
TipRather than during the day!

First of all, it's fragrance-free, so I can apply a lot without any discomfort. If I use it consistently, I can visibly see my skin improving. I bought it when I was working in a very dusty environment, and my skin was getting irritated, but after using this, my skin became so soft and smooth - I'm so happy about it. I also really like the cream texture, so that's another plus for me.
ConsThe price is a bit high compared to the amount... I want to apply a lot, but I find myself unconsciously using only a small amount.
TipWhen I apply the cream and then follow up with an essence, I feel like the products are absorbed even better.

The texture was slightly dense, with an ointment-like consistency and easy application. The fragrance-free formula did not feel burdensome to apply.
ConsCompared to other brands, it was not significantly more moisturizing. In fact, there was a slight tightness after application, and even as someone with oily skin, I felt a sense of dryness that lingered until the next day, almost as if the surface was coated.

It is easy to purchase as it is sold at Olive Young, so if you want to use it, you can just go to Olive Young and buy it. 2. The tube-type packaging is hygienic. This is the part I liked the most. 3. The cream melts into the skin with just one application. The absorption process is very quick, so it would be convenient for those who find it suitable.
ConsFirst, the 50ml price range of 24,000 won is not cheap. I'll buy it on sale, probably for 16,480 won. Why does my face feel so tight and pulled right after applying it? My face, which didn't feel tight at all when I applied the cream, now feels tight and flushed. I've had severely dry skin for the past year, so I switched to a recovery cream for my basic skincare, and my skin has been doing pretty well, with hardly any tightness. But then the recovery cream wasn't absorbing well, so I went to Olive Young to find something more absorbent, and that's when I came across this. Since it's a cica cream, I thought it would also be a recovery cream, so I tested it on the back of my hand and bought it, full of expectations. But when I applied it to my face, my skin felt like it was being stripped of moisture, almost as if I had put on a mud pack. My skin started feeling tight. This is the first time I've experienced this immediate moisture-stripping sensation when applying a skincare product. I considered applying it again, but it felt unpleasant, so I layered on some oil instead. However, the tightness persisted, albeit mildly. I didn't feel good about it. My skin even felt heated. The next morning, I tried it again, and sure enough, my previously non-tight skin felt tight again. I had to rush to work, so I couldn't do anything else. Walking around with a bare face, I noticed in the elevator mirror that my face looked terrible. The non-existent redness had returned, and my enlarged pores looked more prominent due to the dryness. I'm sensitive to enlarged pores, so I always check them first. Even my mom asked why my skin looked that way. It's not an exaggeration - my skin went back to feeling tight and dry, with uneven tone and more visible pores, after using this product just two or three times. I immediately stopped using it and went back to an old snail cream I had at home, which is over 2 years old but works much better than this. My skin tone has normalized, and the tightness is still there in the mornings and throughout the day, but it's much better than with the other cream. The heated feeling is also mostly gone. I've been switching between different moisturizing and recovery creams, and while the moisture level has been minimal at times, I've never had a product ruin my skin this quickly before. I feel uneasy about returning it, but I might just use it as a hand cream instead.

I'm not sure if it's because I only used a small amount, but I think the smooth application is good! (Used only a small amount on the troubled area) Soothing It was effective on inflammatory acne. I applied it in the evening and when I woke up, it had subsided a bit.
ConsContains Oil Those with oily skin may need to consider it a bit.
TipI recommend applying only a small amount to the troubled area.

This is a product review that I bought and used with my own money, not a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review!̤̻!̤̻!̤̻!̤̻ ᙏ̤̫͚ Wound Healing I used to think that the Cica cream = Regeneration cream, but I dabbed it on my acne-scarred wounds. I used to stick acne patches on the wounds, but the patches took days, even weeks, for the wounds to heal, so I tried this product... In a day or two, new skin grew, and in about three days, the wound was almost healed. Of course, deeply indented wounds will take longer, but for basic acne wounds (peeling skin + blood + pus), it's incredibly effective. Praise, praise, and more praise. ᙏ̤̫͚ Volume I thought this cream was too heavy to cover my entire face, so I just dab it on the wounded areas with a cotton swab. It doesn't matter if it's morning or night!̤̻ But even after using it for over 6 months, I still have about ~~ of the volume left. I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it before the expiration date. Just by dabbing it, I'm seeing great effects on wound healing and acne reduction, so I don't feel the need to spread it all over my face.
ConsThere's none, just buy it ㅠㅠ I can't fill 20 characters, just buy it!̤̻!̤̻!̤̻
TipBefore makeup or before bed, dab it on your acne wounds with a cotton swab!̤̻ If you apply it before makeup, gently press it into the wounds with your fingers for faster absorption!̤̻

It's so moisturizing and it's the best among the cicacreams I've tried.
ConsThe downside is that it's a bit too thick. In the summer, I mixed it with a more watery lotion or skin.

I remember choosing it because it didn't contain any harmful ingredients. And trying the Cica cream for the first time was a revelation to me. My troublesome acne and pimple-like sebum bumps have reduced significantly. I'm not sure if the Cica ingredients work well for me or if the product is just good, since I haven't tried other products, but it has been a great product for me.
ConsI don't think there was anything disappointing about it. I'm not sure about the textures of other products, but this one didn't spread smoothly and broadly, so I had to be careful when applying it. Other than that, there wasn't really anything negative.
TipBe sure to apply it generously on the days you shave! Especially if you do close shaves.

My skin feels very comfortable and there seems to be a soothing effect as well. However, due to the low moisture content typical of Cica creams, you may want to supplement with a skin/lotion/essence/serum to add more moisture, and then lock it in with this cream. Most importantly, it's affordable and there are lots of promotions, so I think it's a great deal.
ConsHowever, as a daily cream that is likely to be used frequently, the low moisture content is a bit disappointing. I believe daily products should have higher moisture content, not just concentrated care products. So it's a good, but not great, product.
