Skin type: Dry, sensitive, and prone to breakouts Texture: Watery, like a runny nose Absorption: Absorbs reasonably well. Don't apply the lotion right away, wait a bit and it will absorb with minimal stickiness. Review: No breakouts, absorbs without stickiness! Recommended skin types: Almost all skin types, but may be too drying for very dry skin.
ConsThe scent... like syrup? That distinct artificial sweetness was really unpleasant and difficult to tolerate. (For reference, I strongly dislike the smell of cough syrup.)

ConsIn my opinion, the fragrance is too strong, so I'm a little hesitant. It has a perfume-level fragrance.
TipIt's good for dry skin and can be applied right away when it's a bit dry.

I have sensitive combination skin.. I used to have normal-to-oily skin that didn't feel dry, but recently it has become more combination with increased dryness. The mother who used it with me is a tough, dry-skinned person who is not sensitive at all. - Usage Experience Since this is a hyaluronic acid serum, the main thing I expected was the moisturizing effect. As the seasons changed, my skin was cracking and getting dry, causing flaking.. The B5 serum has a viscous, stretchy texture that you can feel when you pull out the dropper. Even though I have oily skin, I really liked the dense, bouncy texture that felt comfortable when applied. It spreads thinly and smoothly, and when patted in, it leaves a dense, moisturized feeling. I'm very satisfied! - Moisturizing Effect It's hard for a formula like this to not have good moisturizing properties, right? I had been using a different toner and moisture serum from summer until just before using this product, so my skin was quite dry. But after using the B5 serum, my skin felt deeply moisturized and nourished. When applied, the dryness completely disappears, and it leaves a dense, moisture-sealed sensation.
Cons- Fragrance The fragrance... I usually don't mind cosmetic fragrances and even like them, but this one just didn't agree with me. On the first day, I was like, 'Hmm, it's still usable.' But the more I used it over the next two or three days, the more averse I felt to it, and the fragrance lingered for a long time.. It seemed like a masculine skin scent, but it had an artificial watermelon note added to it. - Soothing It didn't work well for soothing purposes. And for moisturizing, I'd recommend it more for very dry skin, perhaps more for use in the dead of winter, rather than my combination skin. - Oiliness Since it's formulated for dry skin, it has a moisturizing to oily ratio of maybe 40:60 or even higher. For my oily skin, it felt a bit suffocating. That's probably why I started getting some small bumps and a slightly itchy sensation after using it for a week. So I ended up passing it on to my 50-year-old dry-skinned mother. My dry-skinned mother in her 50s has been using it comfortably and finds the texture and moisturizing effect quite pleasant.
TipSince the main expectation for the product is moisturizing, to maximize the moisturizing effect, it's better to pat it in rather than just spreading it. I think this would be better suited for dry-skinned users who also want to address oiliness.

The product itself has excellent moisture power. It feels slightly heavy? Since it's a serum developed for elasticity, the bouncy texture is quite strong. 2. I didn't experience any breakouts! It seems well-suited for non-sensitive dry skin types. It has that unique formulation of vitamin-infused products, with a slightly oily feel, but I think it's great for providing moisture to dry skin types haha I'd recommend this more for dry skin types than oily skin types!!
Cons1. The fragrance is too strong... really, really strong.... If it were just a body spray or perfume, it might be okay, but these days with masks, the product's scent from my face is giving me a headache ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ 2. I think it doesn't suit my oily skin type, maybe because it contains pore-clogging ingredients.. The sticky feeling was very uncomfortable, even in the hot weather, and my T-zone pores became more prominent. This is usually a phenomenon that occurs when I apply a heavy cream, so I couldn't use it morning and night, and only applied it in the evenings or every other day! But at least I didn't get any breakouts haha 3. The oily formulation was a bit challenging for me~ It glided on smoothly at first, but then got sticky later on! Applying a cream on top helped reduce the stickiness, but I had to allow enough absorption time. However, in the summer, using this product plus a cream was too heavy, so I couldn't use it frequently ㅜㅜ
Tip1. First of all, if your skin is not extremely dry, you should definitely avoid using this in the summer!! The formulation is best suited for the dry season!! 2. The formula is quite sticky, but if you pat it in, it does get absorbed. Make sure to pat it in thoroughly haha 3. If you find your pores becoming more prominent or your T-zone getting bumpy when using this, it's likely because the formula is too heavy. In that case, I'd recommend using it every other day! The breakouts that often occur with using firming products didn't happen for me, though! 4. I'd recommend using this at night rather than in the morning. It's hard to really pat it in thoroughly before having to head out, and with masks these days, the strong fragrance can be a bit challenging~~ 5. I suggest focusing the application on the dry areas of your cheeks! Of course, since this is a firming serum, applying it all the way to the sides of your face would be best for the full effect, but I found that it can cause pilling in those areas. I applied this after my water-based toner and ampoule, and once that was absorbed, I put this just on my cheeks - this way, my makeup went on nicely and I got a nice, subtle glow haha

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.ProsThis is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review! I have a dry, acne-prone skin type. 1. Even when applying just one layer of the base, the serum itself does not feel dry or tight due to the hyaluronic acid. 2. The texture is rich but absorbs quickly. The glow is also very nice. 3. I think the firming ingredients may have helped, as the areas I used it on (cheeks and neck) feel a bit plumper. My mother also said the neck wrinkles seemed a bit improved, and she was pleased. 4. Even though I have sensitive skin, the existing acne did not worsen.
Cons1. If I had to nitpick, the fragrance has a slightly strong smell... It's a personal preference, but I'm not sure if it's necessary to add fragrance to a basic product and compromise the ingredients. 2. There's a slight 'slipping' feeling when using the dropper, which is a bit inconvenient. 3. When used with other skincare products, it feels a bit too thick, so I wish it was a bit more lightweight.
TipPersonally, I noticed effects on deeper wrinkles like on the neck, so I'd recommend using it on areas concerned with wrinkles or dryness. I kept it refrigerated separately and found it nice to massage the cool serum onto the skin, as it quickly lowered the skin temperature.

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.ProsThis is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer who received products from La Roche-Posay. The Cicabio Serum is a product I have been personally using. Texture: It is a runny serum formula that immediately flows down my face as soon as I apply it. This made it easy to spread, though. Spreadability: It is very thin and spreads smoothly. The product adheres to the skin quickly after application. Product Effect: Focusing on the soothing and moisturizing aspects, this product is more effective in soothing than moisturizing. Before using this, my skin had become quite rough from daily makeup and mask-wearing, but I saw the most dramatic changes in a day or two.
ConsMoisture As a dry-skinned person who needs to use a moisturizer even in the summer, I felt this product was lacking in providing enough moisture. Even when I just used the serum, my skin felt taut, though the cheek area remained plump. The T-zone dried out quickly. Fragrance The first thing that struck me negatively was the fragrance. It had a strong bathhouse or old lady's makeup scent that was quite unpleasant at first. While I got used to it over time, the fragrance was too strong for a basic skincare product. Longevity Using the serum alone was not enough, as the T-zone would dry out in less than 30 minutes. Even when I layered the Cicabio Balm over it, I didn't feel the moisture lasted very long. Price I don't think this is worth repurchasing with my own money. The level of moisture and longevity doesn't justify the price given the product volume. Packaging The dropper dispenses too little for the whole face, but two drops is too much. The uneven dosage was inconvenient, and the product that gets on the dropper's exterior quickly makes the bottle opening messy.
TipSoothing Effect To enhance the soothing effect, I used the serum together with the Cicabio Baume. I noticed much more immediate results and felt my skin becoming firmer. Moisture To boost the moisture, I actually used this more as a moisturizer substitute, applying a light layer of toner or lotion first, then a drop or two of the serum. It felt very lightweight and effectively replenished my skin's moisture.

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 received and used the product through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program. I had high expectations due to the extremely dry skin claims, but the conclusion is that while the moisturizing power and formulation were satisfactory, the product didn't quite suit my skin. I had been using my existing moisture serum very well, and just as I was about to finish it, I ended up using a product that was more than twice the price. I had some expectations, but the moisturizing part was not a problem. The application was smooth and bouncy, and I could feel the moisturizing effect. Since the moisture didn't evaporate for a long time, it seems like a good option for those with dry skin.
ConsDespite the excellent moisturizing performance, which is most needed for dry skin, the disappointing aspect is that the fragrance is too strong. I've mainly used products with little to no fragrance, just the natural scent of the ingredients, so I felt it more strongly. The strong fragrance of the cosmetic product bothered me, and starting from the second use, I started breaking out in pimples, which is unusual for my skin. So I couldn't use it much after that. It's not just the strong fragrance that makes me reluctant, but also the feeling that my skin is reacting sensitively to it. I wonder how it would have been if they had reduced the fragrance a bit... I temporarily stopped using it because I couldn't have breakouts before an important schedule. If I try it again later and it's okay, I'll add another post!

With my extremely dry skin, this formulation seems like it will work well for me in the winter. It's a bit sticky/slick, not watery. Applying a few extra layers when my skin is dry works well. Even though I've been getting gradually drier lately, after applying this, my skin became moisturized again. This was the product with the best moisturizing effect.
Cons❌Fragrance The fragrance is too strong. It's a serum, but it feels like I'm applying perfume to my face. I don't know why they had to put such a potent fragrance in it. ❌Absorption & Finish The watery-like texture doesn't absorb very quickly. As a result, if you use too much, the finish can be sticky. But as I used it more, I was able to figure out the right amount to apply.
Tip2-3 drops are enough to apply at a time. Applying 2 drops first, then adding 1 more drop, results in a less sticky finish.

I purchased it as the ingredient analysis showed no harmful components.
ConsThis is a typical problem with French/European cosmetics. The fragrance is too strong. The unnecessary fragrance is overpowering. Due to the caprylic~ ingredient (from coconut?), I have experienced a lot of breakouts. It is sticky and uncomfortable. It causes skin irritation, so I give it one star.

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 purchased it after trying it on the back of my hand, and it felt so soft and moisturizing, which is why I decided to buy it. When I applied it to my face, it wasn't heavy at all, and I liked it. I'm not sure if there are any particularly good points about it.
ConsThe dropper is really not great at all. It seems like more product gets on the bottle opening, and even after wiping it, it gets messy quickly. Also, the scent is too strong. It's not a bad smell, but it's too intense and overpowering.
