However, it feels like it creates a film after application, so it's not suitable for oily skin types to use all over the face (especially for blemish-prone skin). It's a bit heavy for a hydrating cream, but too light to be a moisturizing cream - more like an ointment 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 a thin layer on slightly dry areas before bed. It definitely provides moisture - my skin, which is always dry in winter, felt more comfortable.
ConsI usually only get pustular acne, but after using this once, I immediately got small bumps... The more I used it, the more I felt my skin calming down. There was no tightness or burning sensation, and I thought the application felt really nice... But at the same time, those small blemishes kept appearing, so I eventually had to stop using it. Such a shame...

I bought it when there was a cica craze and it was cheap...
ConsAfter applying, something unexpected happened. Cica is supposed to be soothing, but I actually got blemishes. I'm not sure if cica just doesn't suit me or what the exact reason is, but whenever I used this alone, I'd break out. I couldn't use it all and ended up throwing it away.

(I accidentally bought this instead of a cream, but it turned out well!)
ConsNo matter how much I took care of my skin, I kept getting lots of tiny bumps. I didn't realize it was because of this product... I started using it around last August, and that's when the bumps appeared. It's gotten much better now, but I still have some lingering on my nasolabial area and under my chin.

ConsIt's disappointing that it causes blemishes, but it was okay to use at night

I use it every morning and evening, and I keep repurchasing it when I run out. Rather than applying it all over my face, I focus on specific areas like under the eyes, nasolabial folds, and chin. The texture is so rich that I use it instead of an eye cream! I apply it as a preventive measure for chin blemishes, and when I use it on areas where I feel a pimple might appear, it seems to calm the skin quickly, which is great. Above all, the ingredients are good, and the price is really affordable at just 10,000 won. Just keep in mind that it's only 15ml. It contains 2% Madecassoside, and instead of purified water, it has 55% Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, which I think makes a difference. A'pieu is known for being more affordable than other road shop brands while maintaining good product quality, making it a cost-effective brand. However, considering the volume, this product is actually quite pricey for A'pieu standards! I like that it comes in a tube, which makes it portable and hygienic. The texture is quite rich, which I don't mind at all.
ConsIt's not effective for severe hormonal acne. Due to polycystic ovary syndrome, if I don't take birth control pills, I'm fine for the first two months, but by the third month, acne explodes on my chin. I have irregular periods, and if I don't take the pills, I might not have a period for 2-3 months. It's like my uterus is sending signals to take the pills and have a period, resulting in acne all over my chin. It's so frustrating! At those times, this product didn't help at all. I ended up having to take birth control pills again... The rich texture might be unpleasant for those with oily skin.
