It strengthens the skin barrier and soothes the skin when it's irritated. I really like this moisturizer. I used it to treat my skin issues. It's non-sticky, fragrance-free, and non-irritating. When my skin is troubled with breakouts, using this moisturizer immediately calms and improves my skin.
ConsI prefer products with a subtle fragrance. But it's okay, I still love it.

I hope it doesn't get discontinued - the good ingredients seem to agree with my body better than others in the same line.
Cons○Since it lacks oil, it's recommended to apply lotion after use. / This doesn't mean you should ask for oil ingredients to be added to this product. The clean formulation works well on its own. It's just that those with dry skin may feel dryness faster.
Tip○When skin is irritated or hives appear, using this product along with a galvanic or cosmetic absorption device can quickly soothe the skin. However, it may sting, so it's best to use cautiously. ☆Please don't discontinue the large tube format, keep producing it!

It makes them go down when you apply it!! I was really amazed at first ㅠ It's good to have one on hand just in case - There are no bad ingredients at all!
Cons- It doesn't work much on small bumps, but it has an effect of making big ones go down - Be careful, it can sting if you apply it on irritated or pimple-prone skin - The scent is just from centella extract.. ㅎ Personally, it's not great but not bad either, and since it's effective, it's fine!!! - If you apply it too thickly, it will clump up and slide off ㅋㅋㅋ Just apply it in a moderate thickness ㅎㅎ
TipTry putting it on those big pimples that are just trying to come up ㅠㅠㅠㅠ The little guy retreats and shrinks back You can buy it cheaply at ㅋㅍ ㅜㅜ Since the ingredients are all good, I'd recommend trying it out Some people use it like a sleeping pack too Personally, I just apply it spot-targeted ㅎㅎㅎ

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI checked the ingredients on Hwahae and there are no harmful components, so it seems good. I usually like products with centella ingredients, so I tried this one as well. :) When my skin gets red and irritated and breakouts start to appear, I apply it and sleep, and by the next day, it has calmed down a bit.
ConsWhen I first used it, I applied it directly to my face, and just as the reviews said, it felt thick and very sticky... So I didn't use it and just left it there. But one day, I tried applying it in small amounts and layering it, and by the next day, my skin texture had improved. So now I don't apply it before makeup, but I use it as a sleeping pack before bed. Even though I absorb it thoroughly, there's still a slight stickiness left behind, which is a bit disappointing, as it can make my hair stick to my face.
TipIt's better to apply it in small amounts and absorb it thoroughly, and to use it as the last step in your skincare routine. If you apply it in the middle of your routine, the stickiness may remain and cause pilling.

It had the aroma of herbs, which was to my liking. While it wasn't very effective for severe blemishes, it did work well on newer ones. I was amazed that it would calm them down within 2-3 days with consistent application.
ConsThe amount is a bit small. The quantity was insufficient to cover my entire face.

ConsIt seems to be applied more on the surface rather than being absorbed, though it has moisturizing power(?), the absorption seems a bit slow.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsUse it like a healing ointment! I bought this while purchasing an ampoule. The tube type is easy to use and the size fits in one hand, making it convenient to carry around. I was captivated by the good ingredients and the design that seems to treat acne, so I bought it. haha * Soothing effect: I didn't have high expectations since I tried the ampoule first, but when I used it together with the same line ampoule, the soothing effect was really good! The combination of APIEU 2x ampoule + Dr.Jart Soothing Cream is less effective than the APIEU 2x ampoule + APIEU cream. So it seems I should do skincare with the same line! It's not that all the bumps are gone, but my skin texture feels more even, and it has some effect on calming down severe acne. The only downside is the stickiness, which I really dislike, but I'm enduring it because of the soothing effect.
ConsTexture: It has an ointment-like texture and a gooey gel type. When applied on the face, the stickiness is no joke.. My hair gets completely stuck, and my face feels tacky and sticky even after applying it. When I rub my hands and feet with the remaining product, I have to wash my hands because it's that sticky.. A small bug even landed on the back of my hand, and it got stuck because of how sticky it is.. The texture feels like it will further irritate the skin if I keep patting it. Even after using a beauty device to help absorption, the absorption is slow. So after applying, I just leave it as is until bedtime.. I have to tie my hair up a little when using it at night. After using it for about 3 days, I noticed my pores looked a bit larger, not only in the T-zone but also slightly on my cheeks. When I apply this cream, a lot of oil seems to come up, and it feels like it's making the pores on my cheeks open up and secrete oil. The soothing effect is good, but it's disappointing.
TipI apply it thickly like a sleeping pack and put a towel under my pillow. Using it like a sleeping pack, the soothing effect is great~

The effects have always seemed good in the affordable price range. On days when a lot of trouble came up, I would apply it generously all over my face in the evening, and when I woke up the next morning and washed my face, it was definitely calmed down and smooth. I used it for sure on days when my face seemed angry, and the price was not too expensive, so I stocked up and used it.
ConsWhen I applied it to my face, since it's a gel type, there was a sense of a film being laid over it, so I always only used it at night. Other than that, there wasn't really anything else.

But it's so good that I'm going to keep using it from now on. I absolutely don't want it to be discontinued!! * My skin condition: Oily + sensitive + blemish-prone + large pores but I'm taking an oil-control medication, so my skin has become more dry, and my blemishes have calmed down a lot - they don't really come up anymore! 1. Improvement of acne scars The improvement isn't dramatic, but when I compare before and after, the scars have definitely faded! I've been using it for a month, and I noticed the scars starting to fade from the first week! 2. Good ingredients The ingredients are good, so I'm using it well without causing any acne. 3. Moisturizing I don't even need an expensive cream. It's so moisturizing!! The finish is not sticky either, it's great, the best! 4. Good value for the large size I bought this from the Apieu official website with a discount, and I got it for just over 10,000 won. The amount is a lot, and it's the best!
ConsHaha, it really, really doesn't have a single downside!!!
TipMy routine is: Dodok toner -> The Lab by Blandew lotion -> Apieu Madecassoside Cica Gel That's it!! In the winter, I always use these three. In the summer, in the morning (for makeup prep): Dodok toner + The Lab by Blandew lotion In the evening (after cleansing): Dodok toner + Apieu Madecassoside Cica Gel In the summer, if I apply too heavily, my makeup tends to break down, so in the morning I just use the lotion, and in the evening I use the Cica Gel. The Cica Gel is heavier than my lotion, but that's relative to the lotion When you actually apply it, the Cica Gel isn't heavy at all.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsPros: Of all the gels I've used, this is the best one. It's truly a holy grail product... I love it so much. It's absolutely amazing! Out of all the products I've used, this one has been the most effective. It really does calm the skin, and you can visibly see the difference! It's incredible! The calming effect may not be as strong, but it definitely does calm the skin!! I can see my acne scars and facial redness disappearing, and what's best is that it absorbs quickly. It has a balm-like texture and a similar scent to a balm. The amount seems quite generous, and when my skin needs extra soothing, I just slather it on. I actually include it in my regular skincare routine, not just when my skin needs calming.
ConsCons: I haven't really noticed any downsides while using this... If I had to nitpick, the scent? It really does have a balm-like smell haha
