After washing my face the next day, there's no stinging and it looks clearer. 🌿Healing Effect It works well on popped pimples or minor wounds. (+) In the winter, when my lips are cracked and peeling, it works amazingly fast! Unlike lip balms that just puff up and push the flaky skin out, this makes the dead skin just naturally fall off. It works best when I've picked at the flaky skin and there are little wounds - the healing is so fast that the peeling happens smoothly! I think that's why the lip wounds recover so quickly and the peeling happens naturally.
Cons🌿No Acne Calming? I bought it because it was said to be good for acne, but it doesn't really work that way. For cystic acne or right after popping a pimple, it would be better to use a thin layer of Fucidin instead. 🌿No Scar Improvement It doesn't work on long-standing, darkly pigmented acne scars either.
TipIf you pop the acne thoroughly and use a patch for a day or two until it stops oozing and starts healing, applying it to the reddened area seems to speed up the recovery. (If there's still acne matter left unpopped, it won't be effective. Right after popping, using a patch or an anti-inflammatory like Fucidin would be better.)

It's not too sticky or dry at all It's moisturizing, effective for acne, and everything is good...!!
ConsSince it's a gel, compared to ampoules, I use it up too quickly ㅠㅠ I can't use it for long ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
TipApply it generously after cleansing before bed

Instead, the skin feels soft and smooth. I have acne-prone skin, so I've been using the Cica Balm and Pure Toner consistently, and the stubborn acne I had before seems to have faded after using the two products, which I'm very satisfied with!
ConsIf you use too much, it can feel sticky and cause makeup to slip.
TipDon't use too much of the product. Apply just a small amount and spread it thinly. If your skin is already hydrated, you may not need to apply it.

The Cica Balm has a similar size and texture to an ointment. (Moisture < Oiliness) Before bed, I would wash my face and then apply an appropriate amount to the areas where pimples were about to appear, allowing it to absorb. Personally, it worked really well for me!!! Since I'm the type that gets along well with cica ingredients, most of the irritation would already be soothed!!! That's why I've used up 5 tubes so far!!!! However, it couldn't immediately calm down severe or large pimples... But I still feel like something's missing if I don't apply it, so I keep using it consistently!!!
ConsHmm, there weren't any obvious downsides, but the volume is very small, and if you apply too much, it can feel a bit oily!!!
TipI apply it very thinly all over my face with a light tapping motion, and then do an extra tap-tap on the areas that need soothing.

When my skin was completely inflamed, using this product helped it calm down. Before this, I used the Innisfree Cica Balm, but this product is much more effective.
ConsThe price-to-volume ratio is very low. While the price may seem quite affordable, the volume is almost the size of a Madecassoside ointment.
TipWhen my entire face was inflamed, I just applied a small amount all over my face and slept. This was more effective than spot-treating individual blemishes.

The next morning, I can see that the redness has calmed down!! Applying a generous amount to blemishes also helps to reduce the redness a bit. It's best to apply a very thin layer before makeup, as it can cause pilling. But when I use it just on the problem areas, I find that it works really well to soothe my skin. I've seen great results from using this product!!!
ConsThe only downside is the value for money? That's really the only thing. But since I use it sparingly, one jar lasts me 2-3 months.

I felt like I gave a rather generous score, but at the same time, I felt like the pimples went away quite quickly (which is why I gave it 4 points!) - Around the time of my menstrual cycle when my pimples were acting up, I had a painful pimple on the lower lip area. With a mix of suspicion and anticipation, I only applied it to that area, went to sleep, and woke up to find it had slightly subsided. I applied it one more time that evening, and it disappeared completely.
Cons- Since I've only been using skincare products that absorb well, I felt like the absorption was a bit lacking. - This incident made me realize 'Cica is good for acne' once again, and I've been searching for Cica products.
TipOnly on the affected area! It seems like it would be even better to use it as a preventative measure when acne is about to flare up.

And when you have breakouts or pimples, don't squeeze them right away. Instead, apply a generous amount for a few days, and they may subside. The texture is a bit heavy and creamy, with a slight ointment-like feel.
ConsEven though I have oily skin, I didn't experience any breakouts while using it. However, it can feel a bit heavy, especially during the summer when you might want to use it more often.
