Pros
The moisturizing power is good. It's a creamy gel with a soft and supple texture. I'm not sure if it calms sebum production, but my skin does feel smooth and velvety.
Cons
I didn't feel like it calmed my sebum production at all. It just provided basic moisturization. I don't have any desire to purchase this product. Not recommended!!

Pros
It has a creamy texture and feels like applying an ointment. It's not bad for soothing and has excellent moisturizing power.
Cons
It's too thick and creamy, causing excess oil to surface... Oil explosion..
Tip
Apply only a small amount..

Pros
❗The unsung hero that calmed my chronic neck discomfort❗ I've been waiting and hoarding the Apieu One-Punch product for a while, and I've used up more than 3 of them (can't remember exactly how long ago I started using it). As someone who has always struggled with skin troubles, I've tried many acne-related skincare products, but this is the first time I've seen such a noticeable effect. It's truly deserving of more than 5 stars. Compared to other Madecassoside lines, this product is very dense, which means the active ingredient content is also higher. I apply it all over my face, and whether it's before or after a breakout, or on a wound, generously applying it before bed helps calm the inflammation and accelerates recovery of the troubled areas. The product quality is undeniable, and with frequent sales and a relatively affordable original price, I don't feel any regret in using it generously. It has shattered my prejudice that expensive skincare products are necessarily better. It's available not only in a jar but also in a tube, and there's even a larger-sized version, which is great.
Cons
The only downside, if any, is the dense ointment-like texture, which makes it more suitable for applying generously before bedtime rather than in the mornings, especially during the summer. I'd recommend using it liberally in the evenings.

Pros
I used a 50ml bottle and liked it so much that I'm almost done with the large size. True to its name, madecassoside, it helps soothe the skin. When I apply it generously and wake up, my skin feels soft and supple. The formula is a thick gel, so the spreadability is not as good as a cream, but the effects were better than just using a cream alone. Using it together with a cream works even better.
Cons
I'm not sure if it's just the nature of the gel formula, but the moisturizing level is not very high. Creams provide better moisturization. It's fine if you apply it generously, but when using it alone after toner in the winter, it can be a bit drying.
Tip
Using it with the madecassoside line cream or a rich toner along with a cream can help reduce the dryness a bit. Also, when I have blemishes, applying it generously on those spots and leaving it overnight helps calm them down to some extent.

Pros
The product comes in a tube type with silica gel, making it extremely convenient to apply. The moisturizing power is top-notch, leaving a rich, hydrated feel on the skin.
Cons
The formula is thick and sticky, leaving a tacky residue on the skin. At first, it seemed to soothe the skin, but it ended up causing redness and irritation instead. This is likely due to the sticky and oily nature of the product lingering on the skin. The Dr.G Red Blemish Cream, on the other hand, was honest and truthful - it was hydrating, non-sticky, and calmed the skin quickly. There was a reason why the cheaper option was not as good.
Tip
Mixing the Apieu Madecassoside Ampoule helped reduce the stickiness somewhat, but overall, it was still unsatisfactory. The photo attached shows the mixed product that I had applied.

Pros
# Spreadability ✰✰✰✰ It has a very thick, ointment-like feel, so I currently only apply this product in the evenings. It may feel a bit heavy to apply in the mornings for some. ! For those with dry skin, it's fine to apply both morning and night, regardless of the season. ! For combination skin types, it's recommended to apply morning and night only in the winter. (I also applied it morning and night during the winter) I wouldn't recommend this to those who dislike a sticky, heavy feel. As I don't mind it, I'll give it four stars. #Ingredients ✰✰✰✰✰ The Hwahae ingredients seem good. I've never had any breakouts while using this product. Instead, I've felt a soothing effect. Most can use this product without worry. #Price ✰✰✰✰✰ In my personal opinion, Apieu products generally have good value. ! The Apieu Pure Block Natural Daily Sunscreen (orange one) also applies lightly without white cast, and the price is reasonable, so I used it for a long time.
Cons
I don't have any particular complaints about this product. There's another cream in the same Madecassoside line, but the ingredients in that one aren't as good. I wanted to write a neat recommendation, saying to use a cream in the morning and a gel at night, but for those with sensitive skin, the cream may not be good for the skin. So I only recommend the Cica gel product.
Tip
I listed all the points I liked for your convenience. Please refer to the above. ! Oh, and if you dislike tube-type packaging, there's a separate tube version available too. If you like the general product, you can purchase the larger tube size for more convenient use.

Pros
I used to use Madecassosaide cream, but this time I decided to try the gel as well. At first, I was a bit worried because the gel had a higher percentage of ingredients, and I was afraid that too many ingredients might be harmful. So I only used it on the areas with the most severe dry skin. But this time, my skin was really flaky, so I started using it all over my face. The texture was actually quite nice, and after using it a few times, I didn't experience any breakouts, so I'm leaving a review! Despite its thick texture, the gel absorbs well into the skin and the stickiness only lasts briefly right after application. It doesn't leave a shiny, greasy film on the skin either. Around the Lunar New Year, I had to spend a lot of time in the car with the heater on, and the temperature changes made my skin very sensitive and flaky. But after just two days of using this, my skin went back to normal!
Cons
At first, it does feel a bit sticky. But the stickiness disappears within 5 minutes!
Tip
1. Rovectin Cleanser 2. Mamonde Cleansing Balm 3. Madecassoside Cica Gel My skin became sensitive, so I did a short-term cosmetic diet and used just these three products for cleansing and moisturizing! It took two days for my skin to fully recover.

Pros
This is a review written after using the product only for night care from September to the end of November. 👍Texture The texture was a thick ointment-like formula, which was completely different from the gel I was used to! The ointment was really thick and heavy. 👍Moisturizing Power Given the texture, the moisturizing power was really good! It felt like it had built a thick wall on the skin, completely blocking the moisture from evaporating. 👍Cost-Effectiveness If you're looking for an affordable cream/gel with high moisturizing power, I would recommend this product. The cost-effectiveness considering the moisturizing power is really good!
Cons
👎Spreadability When I sleep with a towel covering my pillow, this product's stickiness made the towel stick to my face, and it would get pulled every time I moved. Also, when used with some other skincare products, the cream would get all gooey and sticky on my hands. 👎Soothing Effect I bought this based on reviews saying it's good for skin soothing, but I didn't see any effects on my acne or bumps at all.
Tip
I would recommend not using this before makeup! It's too sticky, so the base makeup gets stuck on the puff and peels off.

Pros
The scent was not overpowering to the point of being rejected. When applied, it had a creamy, balmy texture but still felt moisturizing.
Cons
It's a bit heavy, so I don't use it much in the summer. Since I have severe acne, I don't think it was very effective for me.
Tip
Using too much can leave a heavy, clogging feeling. I'd recommend applying it in moderation.
