Cons1. Slippery feel (oiliness?) At first, it applies a bit dry, but after fully applying, there's a slippery sensation that made me worry it might cause blemishes. So I only applied it to my forehead and cheeks where I don't usually get breakouts. 2. Scent It has a slight medicinal smell which isn't very pleasant. 3. While it doesn't cause blemishes or skin irritation, so I continue using it, it doesn't seem to have any major pros or cons
TipThis product would be great for those who never experience blemishes

When I used the small sample, I didn't notice much, but now that I've bought it and have been using it diligently every day, I unfortunately don't feel like there's been any significant improvement. As you might expect, it has the typical thick, ointment-like texture and medicinal scent characteristic of regenerating creams. It feels like applying medicine, so if you enjoy that sensation, you might like this product. As I try to think of other positive aspects I've personally experienced, I'm afraid nothing really comes to mind. Although I generally have a favorable impression of the Kiehl's brand as a consumer, I don't plan to repurchase this product.
ConsThis product has an ointment-like consistency. It applies quite thickly, so it's better suited for nighttime use rather than during the day before makeup. The texture itself tends to pill and prevents other products from absorbing properly. When applying, avoid rubbing and instead pat it in for better absorption. If you rub, it will just keep moving around on the surface. Unlike Kiehl's typically pleasant fragrances, this product has a medicinal scent that tends to become more unpleasant over time. This means you need to use it up quickly, but since it's not exactly an inexpensive product, it feels wasteful to end up throwing it away. The scent doesn't dissipate, making it difficult to apply to the face. I ended up using the rest of the jar on my arms and legs just to finish it. After application, your skin feels hot and uncomfortable. I usually apply skincare products generously, but with this one, it makes my skin feel so warm that I can't even apply much of it, despite it being a regenerating cream. My entire face feels so hot that I want to wipe it off, and it even makes me break out in a sweat around my upper lip area. As a result, I can't use it at all during summer. Keep this in mind!
TipI mixed this regenerating cream with a very hydrating moisturizer when applying. This improved the texture and made the cream feel less heavy on my skin.

Except for summer, I have extremely sensitive and severely dry skin for three seasons, and nothing else compared. After the reformulation, there are some aspects I miss, but there are still many advantages worth mentioning. The cream has just the right amount of richness, so I don't feel any dryness after application. It's also perfect for redness. My skin is thin and sensitive, so I'm prone to flushing, but when I apply this generously, it calms down. Especially when I use it at night, I wake up in the morning with noticeably improved skin texture. I've probably used over 20 tubes from the Centella Recovery Cream to this Cica Cream. For repairing damaged skin, I haven't found anything better in this price range yet.
ConsPersonally, I preferred the texture of the cream before the reformulation. The current formula is quite thick and stiff, making it a bit challenging for me, as a dry skin type, to apply when my face lacks moisture. So, I apply it right after using an essence. However, I don't think it would be suitable for those with oily skin. While it works for me because I have extremely dry skin that lacks moisture and benefits from rich products, its high oil content might not be ideal for acne-prone or oily skin types. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with it. For dry skin, it could be a year-round essential.

The overall formulation isn't exceptional, so I'd suggest patch testing first. It works well in combination with the routine I'm currently using: Kiehl's Calendula Toner + Calendula Water-based Serum Cream (can't remember the exact name) + this cica cream. For my sensitive, combination skin that's prone to occasional blemishes during seasonal changes or menstrual cycles, this combination helps calm my skin and I'm satisfied with the results.
ConsApplication -> It's extremely thick and sticky. When applied, it produces a lot of oil, so controlling the amount is crucial. Not recommended for oily skin types during daytime use, and it might feel a bit heavy even in summer. Prepare for an oil slick!

The doctor recommended using a regenerating cream after spot removal or laser toning. The hydration is truly amazing. When I wake up in the morning after applying it, my skin looks so much better! It becomes brighter, and my skin feels deeply moisturized. I've been using it even more frequently now that winter has arrived.
ConsYou might find it a bit thick? This is my first regenerating cream, so I'm not sure if they're all like this, but it feels a bit heavy when applying. However, it's very moisturizing and feels like it creates a strong protective layer. The price is also quite steep, so I'll have to think about whether to repurchase. Still, the product itself seems good.

I have combination sensitive skin, but rather than feeling heavy or greasy, it was hydrating. Maybe because it's winter... Unlike other reviewers, I found it quite nice. However, if you apply too much before sleeping, it can pill and stick to your hair, making it look a bit messy.
ConsIt pills if you apply too much. You need to layer it carefully. Also, it doesn't absorb well... it's quite difficult to spread. You'll need some patience!
