When applied, it feels substantial but glides on smoothly. With consistent use, I've noticed an improvement in my skin tone and texture. After using this product, the acne scars on my skin have also faded a bit. And when I apply it at night and sleep, my skin feels plump and supple the next day, making makeup application easier.
ConsThe thick texture means you need to apply it thinly to avoid a heavy, suffocating feeling on the skin. It also doesn't absorb quickly, so if you apply it too thickly, it can sit on the surface and transfer. There is a slight stickiness, though it's not overly excessive.
TipUse only a small amount and apply it thinly!

The fragrance is barely noticeable, which makes it inoffensive. I can't think of any particularly good points, but on the flip side, there aren't any real downsides either. It's just an unremarkable, comfortable product to use.
ConsIt absorbs slowly. The formula is heavy, leaving a residual feel, and it feels more oily than moisturizing. It's better suited for dry skin types than oily skin. It would work well as a nighttime application.
TipSkincare products containing ingredients that 'help' with skin regeneration and barrier strengthening are currently trending. Don't be swayed by the product name or advertising text - check the ingredients list to see if the included components are suitable and at the right concentrations for your skin.

My skin type is combination-sensitive, leaning more towards oily. I don't usually have severe acne, but I often get small, stubborn pimples. Since I have sensitive skin, I'm very particular about the ingredients. This product doesn't contain any harmful ingredients, so I felt comfortable testing it right away. As it's a fragrance-free product, it has no scent. The overall texture is like an ointment but also has a primer-like feel. While this is a functional cosmetic product with anti-aging and whitening benefits, I was more interested in the oyster and centella ingredients. After using it for about 2 weeks, I noticed significant improvement in my skin texture, beyond just the anti-aging and whitening effects. I have a lot of small, hard-to-extract pimples on my chin and cheeks, and after using this product a few times, I could feel those small bumps subsiding when I run my hands over my skin. Even though I'm still in my 20s as a college student, I don't have major wrinkle concerns. But after using this product, I noticed my skin looking plumper and more hydrated the next morning. The amount seemed small, but it spreads generously across the face, so I think it will last a while. I'm planning to repurchase this product.
ConsThe ointment-like and primer-textured formula requires careful application, as over-application can lead to slow absorption and a white cast. The product contains a significant amount of shea butter, which may result in an oily, greasy feel. Those with very oily skin may want to consider this before purchasing. Even for my combination-sensitive skin, I noticed a lot of oil production the next morning. Given my thin and delicate skin, the oily residue left me feeling a bit heavy the next day. So I've been using this as a nighttime product rather than in the morning. However, those with drier skin may be able to comfortably use it in the morning as well.
TipIf you apply this cream when your skin still has residual moisture from toners or essences, it can sit on top of the skin instead of absorbing properly. Be sure to let the previous skincare steps fully absorb into the skin before applying this cream.

My skin type is combination. I rarely have closed comedones, except when I have side effects from cosmetics. However, I do get one or two small, red, papular acne every day. I'm not particularly sensitive, so I suspect it's due to my lazy and irregular lifestyle habits and my poor diet of not eating enough vegetables. That's why I have a lot of red acne scars on my skin, and I use tea tree oil on my acne every day. I used this product for more than a week until 21 days ago, and I brought it with me on a trip from Busan to Japan to write a review. During the trip, while traveling by bus or plane, I didn't remove my makeup, and small and large breakouts seemed to worsen. I used this product morning and night. I tend to like the texture of ointments, and I don't mind the feeling of a film forming on the skin surface, so the usage and moisturizing were generally satisfactory. The breakouts on my chin area, caused by hastily wiping off my makeup with a cleansing oil, were greatly soothed overnight with this product, which I really liked. Also, it has almost no scent, so it was comfortable to use. To be honest, I think the psychological reassurance of using a dermatological cream is quite significant. This is also because I believe the ingredients are good.
ConsThis product didn't cause any breakouts. However, it didn't seem to calm my pre-menstrual breakouts. I had stopped using tea tree oil for a few days while using this product, but I'm using it again now. The spreadability and absorption were not great. Absorption is quite slow, and if you apply too much, it can feel like it just sits on the surface. And it left a white cast, like sunscreen, which felt a bit unsettling. Considering the product emphasizes the benefits of oyster extract, the dramatic effects were not as significant. It does help soothe the burning sensation of breakouts, but it takes some time for the breakouts to fully subside.
TipYou should apply it with proper amount control. Patting it in to help with absorption is also a good idea.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer for the first time and received the Oysture Sika Cream. :) Since I received it, I used it generously without holding back. ✔ The effect of relieving troubles and soothing the skin is good. My face doesn't have much acne, but I often get pimples, especially in the T-zone, on my eyebrows and nose bridge. This time, I also had a few pimples, so I applied the cream every time during my evening care. On the other hand, in contrast to my face, I have severe cystic acne as well as milia all over my back, and I've been under a lot of stress from back acne lately. As summer started, I've been consistently managing my back acne with a body brush and scrubs, but I didn't know which cosmetics to buy, and the body brush had its limitations for the acne scars on my back.. While watching YouTube, I heard that a product effective for the face could also be effective for the back, so I decided to try this cream. Every night after showering, I wiped my back with an acne-specific toner and then applied about a fingertip's worth of the cream. I was a bit worried about it being oily, though.. => In conclusion, the cream helped to alleviate troubles on both my face and back. I took before-and-after photos of my back, but I couldn't upload them because it was too dirty.. ㅠㅠ Although the effect wasn't dramatic, I felt good seeing a slight improvement after using it for about 10 days. I could see the redness of the pimples subsiding. However, the price is a bit high for continuous use on my back, and I'm not sure if it's okay to apply the cream on my back. I still don't know much about that. 😢 => There was a time when something like eczema came up under my nose, and I concentrated on applying the cream there. After using the cream, it subsided a lot! Good! ✔ Fragrance-free It's almost fragrance-free, but there's a very faint ointment-like scent. The texture is also thick, so if someone unfamiliar sees it, they might think it's an ointment. 😅 When applying it, it also feels like I'm applying an ointment, so it gives me a sense of healing just by that. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Cons✔ Somewhat thick and heavy texture From the moment I squeezed out the cream, I could clearly feel its heft. The texture is quite thick for a cream, so it takes a little time to fully absorb when applying. After application, there's no stickiness, but it's definitely heavy, so it might be better to use it in the winter rather than summer. And due to the thickness, I'm not sure if I was able to spread it evenly into all the nooks and crannies. ✔ Oiliness For those with oily skin, this cream might feel too oily and stuffy. Considering the two drawbacks above, I think this cream would have been better if it had a bit more moisture.ㅠ ✔ Price range The price is a bit on the higher side, so I'd be hesitant to use it excessively. ㅋㅋ

If it doesn't match even a little, acne-prone breakouts immediately appear, so I have sensitive skin. Since I have sensitive skin, I try to use only cosmetics with mild ingredients as much as possible. The Lilycos Oyster Cica Cream was the one I liked the most because of its good ingredients. It applies smoothly, absorbs into a comfortably moisturized state, and when I try a new night care product, I usually worry that my skin will feel tight the next day, but fortunately, it remained calm.
ConsAs it is a functional cosmetic, I applied it after my basic skincare and essence, but before my moisturizer, but the formula was too thick, so I'm using it as a moisturizer, and the relatively thinner Physiogel cream didn't absorb well. It felt a bit stuffy for my slightly dry skin, and I thought it might be too heavy to use before makeup, so I only used it at night. I don't recommend it for oily skin types.
TipI think I need to use it consistently to see the effects. When I apply it generously at night and sleep, my skin feels quite supple the next day. However, thorough morning cleansing is a must.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI am writing a review after being selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and using the product for a week. Before using it, I had imagined it would have a watery gel-cream texture, but I was surprised by the thick, creamy consistency when I squeezed it out. Comparing it to something, it has a similar ointment-like texture to Dr.Jart+ Cicapair, and since I had used Cicapair before, I liked the texture. It contains oyster extract, and there are no added fragrances, so I was worried it might have an unpleasant smell, but it's almost fragrance-free and has a mild feel to it. My skin is combination, with an oily T-zone, and I used it well, but I think it might lack enough moisture for dry skin types. My skin often breaks out when I suddenly change skincare products, but since the ingredients are gentle, I had no trouble at all. I plan to repurchase this.
ConsThe only downside is that the thick texture makes it difficult to spread a large amount at once, and absorption is slow, but since it's a functional product, I only used it at night and it was fine. It seems good as a night cream, but it doesn't feel overly oily or rich. In the winter, I think you'll need to add extra moisture with an oil or toner.
TipA tip for using creams with a thick texture is to mix it with aloe vera to make a more lotion-like, fluid consistency. However, this can make the absorption faster, while reducing the moisturizing power slightly.
