As expected, the price would be the issue.
And the thick and creamy texture, as well as the need to squeeze it out and then close it back up, causing it to get messy or be applied unevenly.

Although it's difficult to apply due to its thick and creamy texture, it has good moisturizing effects.

Not only for spot treatment, but if you mist it all over your face and spread it thinly, it makes your skin feel plump and bouncy. When you wake up in the morning, your skin will have a radiant glow without any oiliness.

It would be great if you could make a larger size version as well!!!

It's also small in size, so I've developed the habit of always remembering to bring it when I travel by plane.
Personally, I've tried all kinds of cream ampoules, but I always end up coming back to this one at night!

As I mentioned, the thick texture was quite disappointing. I would not recommend this to those who prefer a more watery formula like myself.

My skin is combination and has atopic dermatitis. The T-zone and cheeks have a lot of oil, while the other areas are relatively dry. When I used this product, I definitely felt a calming effect. However, the slightly thick texture wasn't quite to my liking. I found the sticky feeling a bit bothersome, but other than that, I thought it was good.

It was quite drying for me in the winter since I have dry skin. I think those with dry skin should use it in the summer.

It has better spreadability than expected, and it can be used for acne without much issue, so I like it.

I usually only get inflammatory acne, but after using this once, I immediately got closed comedones (whiteheads)... 
The more I used it, the more my skin felt soothed and there was no tightness or stinging, and I thought the user experience was really good. But at the same time, the closed comedone breakouts kept coming, so I ended up discontinuing use. I'm so disappointed...

The Madecassoside line from Apieu is quite famous and the reviews are good, plus it's affordable, so I tried it. But after applying it, I felt like there was a bit of a film forming, so it's not a cream that oily-skinned people can use all over their face (especially for troubled skin).

It's not quite a moisturizing cream, as it's a bit heavy, but it's not quite a nourishing cream either - it has a balm-like texture.

Right after applying it, I thought 'if I put this all over my face, my pores will get clogged and I'll break out'. So I only applied it thinly to my drier areas and went to sleep. But it does seem to have good moisturizing properties. My skin, which is always dry, especially in the winter, felt more comfortable.

I'm not sure about the calming effect.
I applied it when my skin was irritated, but there wasn't much of a dramatic effect...

It was so good, not sticky and with just the right amount of oil and moisture. It's a great everyday product that I love using!👍👍

It's not great. The price is very affordable, but the ingredients are also good.

I really like this. It has just the right amount of oil and moisture, and when mixed with centella powder, it's perfect for spot treatment.

I didn't get any acne from it. My friend said she had a lot of acne after using it, so I bought it, but I'm not sure about it.

It has a non-sticky gel-like texture. It seems to have a bit too much oil, so I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types. Since I only have oily skin on my forehead, I only apply it to my cheeks. The madecassoside ingredient is good for acne.❤❤

When I applied it, it felt too greasy and sticky, which was disappointing.

I used the soothing cream and moisturizer, and they worked well for my skin. They provided good hydration, and most importantly, were effective in soothing my skin. When I had some skin troubles a few days ago, applying them consistently helped calm it down.

To be honest, I didn't see a big effect in calming down my acne..! ㅠㅠ

The Cicabam felt like a real ointment and had good moisturizing properties, so when I applied it, it felt plump and moisturized, which I liked. Despite its plump absorption, it worked well, so it was a product that could be applied regardless of the season!

After applying, I felt a bit greasy and oily on my face...
I didn't feel like it was very effective for my acne...
I don't think Cica Derma and products like this work well for me😢

It didn't dry out my skin when I applied it in the winter...
I think it would be good for those with dry skin types to use.

When I use it as the final step in my morning skincare routine before makeup, it can leave a slightly tacky feeling.
If I don't pat it in thoroughly, it can feel a bit slippery.
I bought it to help keep my skin from drying out too much at the end of my routine, since it's an affordable option, but even with consistent use, it doesn't seem to fade old acne scars or anything like that, so don't have high expectations.

Apply it morning and evening without fail.
After cleansing, my skin used to feel very tight and sometimes even itchy, but after applying this last, my skin feels supple and slightly moisturized the next morning when I wash my face with water.
When blemishes pop up, I slather on a generous amount of the cream before bed and it helps calm them down, if not completely.
It has a soothing effect.
