Pros
- I'm using it on areas without acne and feel like my skin has become brighter - It applies thinly and works well for layering with other products - I bought the 100ml large size and have used over half, and I'm satisfied with it
Cons
- In the summer, it feels a bit stuffy to apply

Pros
My skin is close to sensitive, and it seems to have gotten worse due to wearing masks, so I purchased this to try to get some soothing effects. The large size means I can use it generously. The large size is affordable. It is said to have a soothing effect.
Cons
It's too thick and sticky, and the absorption is not great. While my skin may have been soothed, the stickiness is suffocating, and my hair keeps sticking to my face, so my mind is not at ease. I used it a few times, but I couldn't stand it and stopped using it. It's hard to apply.
Tip
Apply only a small amount

Pros
Everything was good except the feel of use I was surprised that the rating was relatively low I think it is a hidden gem of Apieu I bought this product to repair my damaged skin barrier while undergoing treatment for acne The price is also affordable, and looking at it now, the ingredients are good too The sticky texture is a bit unpleasant, but after applying, it absorbs well and especially the next day when washing my face, it feels so smooth and soft ㅋㅋㅋ I already knew that madecassoside works well for my skin in terms of soothing, and after using this, I've become a madecassoside devotee - it's the best for soothing, it's like a skin ointment
Cons
As I mentioned before, because of the texture and formulation, it might feel a bit stuffy to use in the summer But it's still a product that left a very good impression on me I didn't have high expectations since it's an Apieu product, but I feel like I've found a hidden gem
Tip
An appropriate amount~~

Pros
Even when you're busy, this product provides effective moisturization when used alone without layering many products. However, it seems to work best as the final step in your skincare routine to prevent moisture from evaporating. Scoop out an amount the size of a pea, spread it evenly across your palms, and press it onto your face to create a protective coating over your other skincare products. This will prevent dryness, even when exposed to cold winter winds.
Cons
Applying too much can make the skin feel stuffy and lead to breakouts.
Tip
For those who already have the product, I recommend using a small amount to create a protective coating over your existing skincare routine. For those considering purchasing it, I suggest first trying a sample to test it out.

Pros
♡ Highly Effective ♡ I have an extremely sensitive skin that becomes irritated and breaks out in trouble the very next day if I don't apply basic skincare products properly. So, I had been searching far and wide for a product that could protect my skin and calm down any troubles, and I'm so glad I finally found one that works for me!! I've been using two full bottles of it, and I noticed the troubles starting to subside within about two weeks of using it for the first time. It has become an indispensable and beloved product that I simply can't live without now. I highly recommend this to anyone struggling with troubles and weak skin like me!
Cons
※Sticky Feeling※ The only downside I can think of is that the product feels a bit too sticky and dense, which some may find uncomfortable or suffocating. The stickiness can be quite significant, so those who dislike the feeling of their face sticking to the pillow may want to take note. People who don't enjoy heavy skincare products should also be mindful of this. Even when I apply it thinly, I still can't seem to get rid of the sticky sensation.
Tip
Since I don't have many troubles, when I do get a blemish or a pimple, I just apply a small amount of the product only on the affected area. I find this method to be less sticky and more effective. (Of course, this is just a little tip for those using the product for trouble-related purposes, not for overall skincare.) I'd recommend gently patting the product only on the troubled spots if that works better for you!

Pros
I've been using the ampoule along with it. They said it's good to use it together with the ampoule. But I think I was a bit too sensitive... ㅠㅠ
Cons
It doesn't seem suitable for oily skin to use in the summer. It's a thick gel type and when applied on the skin, it feels stuffy and sticky, so I couldn't even use it before bed. I'll just keep it for now and try it again when it gets colder.

Pros
I really saw the advertisement photo for the Madecassoside Cica Gel on the brand's Facebook page and thought 'Aye, what kind of base is Apieu selling?' while reading the comments, which were all positive. So I was like 'Huh??' and searched for it on Hwahae, and found that it has 0 irritating ingredients?? At that time, I was having the worst skin troubles I've ever had in my life, so I carefully checked the ingredients from A to Z. The Madecassoside Cica Gel with no irritating ingredients at all... You, the Cica Gel... I bought it, thinking I was being fooled. I also got the Madecassoside Lotion. When this product came home and my sensitive skin became even more irritated, red, and hot, and I applied it, the redness quickly disappeared, and the troubled skin calmed down...?? After that, I realized that this is the one that will walk the path of glowing skin with me forever..!! And now, this product and I have been together for almost a year... When there was a 1+1 tube deal, I bought 4 Cica Gels and 2 Lotions, and now I've used up around 7 or 8 Cica Gels... I recently bought 3 large-sized ones... And because I've been obsessively using only the Cica Gel, the Lotion is just sitting in my drawer... It feels a bit sticky, and I think it's causing a bit of trouble, but since it doesn't have any fragrance, it doesn't have any particular smell, and it feels really clean.
Cons
It doesn't really absorb quickly, but... the Madecassoside Cica Gel... you have to use it for a long time to feel the effects... And it's not that it's completely non-sticky, there's a bit of a sticky feeling!! At first, I found it a bit stuffy, but now I'm used to that weighted feeling, so it doesn't bother me much anymore.
Tip
In the dry winter, if you apply a little bit more than usual, about half a bean-sized amount, before bed, your skin condition will be great the next morning...!! If you don't like the stickiness, follow the instructions and wrap it around your face to absorb it, then gently pat it in.

Pros
People often confuse the purpose of Cicagel. It helps to quickly regenerate and calm the skin after wounds or acne have burst and healed without leaving scars. It's not effective on active acne or pimples. I had a bad breakout after using a cheap, large-sized skin product, but using this product reset my skin. My forehead, cheeks, and chin had severe acne and pimples, so I started using this from the unbroken stage, and after 2 weeks, my skin had calmed down, and only the discoloration remained. Even those discolorations have mostly faded now. If I hadn't used Cicagel, my recovery would have been much slower.😭😭 The formula is exactly the same as Madecasol ointment. A tiny amount can cover your entire face. You can use it once a day in the evening for over 4 months, or twice a day for over 2 months.
Cons
Since the formula is quite heavy, it can be difficult to absorb. You should only use a small amount and gently pat it in to help it absorb well! It's best not to use this when you're putting on makeup. It doesn't blend well with makeup and can make your skin feel heavy and stuffy. (It's good to use this in the morning and before bed on days when you're not going out!)
Tip
You can apply this all over your face or just spot-treat. When using this, it's best to only use a basic skincare routine (like toner, essence) - don't layer too many products. If your skin feels dry, do an extra layer or two of toner before applying the Cicagel. Get that glowing skin, everyone!

Pros
I've been using it consistently for the past year and I've seen a lot of effects. When I had acne, using it would make it subside in 3-4 days. And if I apply it regularly, it helps prevent it too. The texture is bouncy, which worked well for my dry skin. In the summer, I would apply this after toner and before sunscreen, and I didn't feel much tightness. And my skin tone also became a bit lighter! I plan to continue using it consistently going forward:)
Cons
The bouncy texture might feel stuffy for those with oily skin. My sister also said she didn't like the fragrance. But it was fine for me!
