While it's not overly heavy, it has a thin film-like feeling on the surface, so I'd recommend using it at night. It has a masking effect, but still seems to have a soothing effect. You can apply a lot without it feeling greasy.
ConsIt has oil, but the absorption into the skin doesn't feel very deep. So you should apply it thinly after doing your full skincare routine. I don't really plan to repurchase it. It seems like it would be best for oily skin types to use as a spot treatment.

No matter how good the ingredients are, how expensive it is, or if it even has gold in it, if the product doesn't absorb well into the skin or doesn't get absorbed at all, it's basically useless. This Cica cream has amazing absorption power ㅠㅠ I can feel the Cica and other skin-regenerating ingredients layering up on my skin... The texture is also smooth and creamy, giving me a proper skincare experience!
ConsThe cream jar feels a bit too open and exposed. It would be great if it came with a stick applicator so I don't have to dip my fingers directly into the product.

Breakouts were popping up and the tightness just kept getting worse...That's why I decided to try this product! First of all, it definitely helped manage the tightness~ With the tightness and dryness taken care of, my disrupted skin balance also returned to normal! And recently, I had to wear a mask for almost 10 hours a day, which really dried out and damaged my skin. As a result, my skin lost its elasticity and became dull in tone. But since this product is a cica cream that helps repair the skin, my damaged skin has been slowly regenerating! The improvement is definitely noticeable compared to before using it. My uneven skin tone that was always blotchy has evened out, and my skin texture has also improved. It's also very moisturizing, so my skin becomes dewy in no time! (It's a super hydrating cream!) The breakouts that were popping up all over have also calmed down thanks to its soothing effects. And after applying it, the radiant glow and shine make my bare face look less dull, which I really like ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The texture is a slightly dense cream cheese-like formula, but it's not sticky and has a smooth, comfortable application! It's not at all stuffy or heavy either! Most importantly, it absorbs quickly, so the dryness disappears in no time, which is the biggest advantage of this product. There's a slight oiliness, but it's not excessively shiny, and it has a silky finish! It's perfect to use during seasonal changes and in the winter~ The volume is quite generous, and a little goes a long way in managing the dryness, so it should last a long time! I think this would be especially great for those with extremely sensitive, severely dry skin! It makes your skin instantly dewy, and the dryness disappears quickly. It's also not at all irritating~ If you found other cica creams lacking in moisture, I'd recommend giving this one a try~
ConsLike some other reviews mentioned, this product does have a bit of an oily feel, so those with oily skin types will need to be careful with the amount they use.

While my skin is a bit dry and I don't have much acne, whenever I'm out in the sun or touch my face with dirty hands, my skin quickly becomes red and develops pimple-like bumps. I've been caring for my skin since I was young, so I haven't paid much attention to blemishes or blackheads, but recently I've been concerned about skin wrinkles and discoloration. My face shape is long and narrow, so if I don't take care of it daily, my face can look droopy and dark circles appear quickly. A few years ago, I tried a cica cream, and I could feel a difference between the days I used it before bed and the days I didn't. Even though it didn't feel refreshing, the heavy feeling was still there, so I didn't repurchase it. But thanks to the Hwahae Trial Reviewer event, I learned about this brand. I've been using a rose toner from another brand, then this brand's essence, Medicoin ampoule, and finally this cica cream, for about a week. After trying the ampoule from the Hwahae event, I realized that while this brand is more expensive, I haven't had any skin troubles after using their products. While others may not notice a drastic difference, I can feel a change when I pinch my cheeks with my fingers.
ConsThe glow is a bit intense. You could say it's like the shiny, glossy look you get from applying lip oil, but on your whole face. As a male user who isn't into the 'glass skin' look, I can only use it at night when going out, and the glow subsides after a few hours. I'm skeptical of products that claim multiple functions like whitening, exfoliating, wrinkle improvement, and hydration all at once. As a guy who's not a big fan of all-in-one toners, essences, and lotions, I probably wouldn't use those even if they were given to me. I've already had bad experiences with sunscreens. The only downside I can think of is that the wrinkle improvement doesn't seem very effective. But I've only been using it for a week, so that may change. The price of 55,000 won is also quite steep. I bought the ampoule booster when it was on sale on the shopping mall, but the cream rarely goes on sale, so I had to purchase it directly from the brand's website. Hwahae, it would be great if you could have a Medicoin promotion! I don't think I'd be able to use any cream other than this one.
TipOn the first day, I applied it generously like the previous cream I used, but it didn't absorb well and just sat on top, making my skin feel hot. Now I just use a small amount, tapping it on gently with a spoon. The brand's website has a sign-up event going on right now. For those who just want to try the cream, the website seems to be the most affordable option.

The centella ingredients have a soothing effect, and it absorbs quickly, though it leaves a glossy finish on the skin. This product can be used year-round, but I personally prefer using it in the winter. I also prefer creams over ampoules.
ConsThis is a common issue with many cosmetics...the price...it's not extremely expensive, but it's disappointing that the product gets used up quickly. And after finishing the product, the packaging feels a bit wasteful...it's nice, and I wish it could be recycled more easily. It's a bit oily, so it's more suitable for winter use than summer.

It's not a slippery, watery moisturizer...it feels like it just melts into my skin. I've already gone through a few jars of this, and it's definitely less sticky than other creams, leaving only a soft, hydrated feeling.
ConsSince my skin is so dry, I apply this morning and night, and just using this and sunscreen in the morning is enough. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.
TipI just use this cream alone after cleansing. Even on days when my skin feels a bit tight, just applying a bit of this natural lip balm to the dry areas around my eyes and lips is enough, and this one product keeps my skin moisturized all day - it's a real lifesaver.

It's a high-moisture cream, and it definitely suits my severely dry skin well. Even though I used it once a day, my skin was dull and had a lot of dead skin, but my skin texture has improved a lot.
ConsThe price is a bit burdensome, but it's definitely good. The formula is thick, so it's more moisturizing when applied at night than in the morning.
TipMy skin has a lot of redness, but when I applied it concentrated on the reddened areas, it seemed to calm down!

Since it is a cica cream, when I apply it, it helps me a lot in regenerating my skin in the morning, and in the morning, I get a very soft and baby-like feeling, which is so nice.
ConsThere is a slight oiliness, so those with oily skin may want to be cautious.

I've been using the product for 4 days now, and I haven't experienced any breakouts or significant downsides. The formula is dense and adheres well to the skin. I wouldn't recommend it to those who prefer a more refreshing finish.
ConsThere aren't any particular downsides. If you prefer a more refreshing finish, it's best to avoid this product. The dense formula can feel a bit sticky.
TipUnless I'm using a face mask, I typically apply toner and then finish with a cream.

It really sticks on tightly. It is also excellent in terms of soothing and regeneration. Really!!!!! I used to use Sulwhasoo Yunjosaeng Essence, Seollin Essence, and Seollin Cream for a long time, but then an unknown trouble occurred, so I used La Mer, and it just completely flipped me out (the worst in my life). I panicked when I looked at the ingredients. I applied the Swaneco Co. Fermented Snail Skin Lotion and this cream morning and evening. It's been 6 days now... It has really visibly improved. For real. For real.. I'm only using this, not La Mer or Seollin.
ConsIt's quite shiny and glowy. Before applying makeup, I need to let it absorb a bit more~ After applying makeup, it helps create a beautiful glow. However, when I'm bare-faced, it feels a bit oily... But I can't give up on it.. It's really good.
TipBe sure to control the amount well, and at the end, rub it between your palms and gently pat it on your skin. That way, it will be less sticky.
