I've been using it for a few days to address redness.
ConsIt causes itching and blemishes. When I wake up in the morning, my skin feels oily.

No matter how much I try to come up with something good, I just can't find anything.
ConsWhen I used it, I felt a slight burning sensation and mild itching. I thought it was working as it absorbed, but when I woke up the next day, I couldn't see any noticeable effects. If anything, my skin looked a bit redder. It also doesn't seem to absorb well - it's like it just sits on top of the skin. The next morning, I thought it had absorbed overnight, but my face felt sticky. No matter how much I use it, it doesn't seem to calm my skin. Of course, this is just my personal experience! I have somewhat sensitive skin, but I would definitely not recommend this for those with extremely sensitive skin.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Hwahae Testers review: Skin type: - Combination dehydrated skin, leaning towards oily. (Oily T-zone, slightly dry and itchy cheeks and U-zone) - I have atopic dermatitis, so I experience itchiness during seasonal changes and dry weather. - Sensitive skin prone to blemishes from incompatible products or hormonal changes. (Lately, I'm also getting blemishes from wearing masks...) Texture: It's a white-pinkish balm with less oiliness. Slightly heavier than a regular cream. Spreads smoothly on the face, and when gently patted in with palms, it gives a subtle glow and absorbs lightly. I prefer products that absorb lightly rather than feeling too heavy, so I was satisfied with the texture. Packaging: Slim tube design doesn't take up much space, and it's hygienic, which is great! Scent: First, I should mention I have allergies, so my sense of smell might not be accurate... To me, it seemed unscented! This makes it suitable for those sensitive to fragrances in cosmetics. Effectiveness: It applies very gently without irritation, and as rumored, it really calms red and painful blemishes incredibly fast! When I was stressed and had severe breakouts, I researched various products and found that this Holika Holika Cica Balm was famous for soothing blemishes! I was skeptical at first, as I wasn't familiar with Holika Holika for natural or gentle cosmetics, being sensitive, but those reviews were spot on... Recently, with the changing seasons, my cheeks and neck have been itchy, and wearing masks all day has caused more blemishes. I had just managed to clear them up, but they kept coming back frustratingly. After receiving this, I applied it all over my face morning and night for a week straight. Especially at night, as the last step in my skincare routine, and by the next morning, those angry blemishes that seemed too painful to touch were soothed and no longer hurt when touched. Rather than making blemishes disappear immediately, it seems to help you get through that painful stage faster. It was effective for me in soothing blemishes! Satisfaction: I was amazed that even the painful blemishes on my neck and under my chin calmed down and stopped hurting in just one day! I love that it has a pinkish tint and gentle ingredients. However, it's not moisturizing enough to use alone, so when I only used toner > light ampoule > cica balm before bed, my skin felt tight and I got more blemishes... But when I add a moisturizing product in between, this product works great! Volume: The volume is small... As someone who doesn't usually use expensive skincare, I feel the volume isn't great for the price... Price: It's not particularly cheap for the amount you get. While it's not overly expensive, I don't think I could use it generously on a daily basis... Overall: Although the volume for the price is a bit disappointing, I saw definite results in soothing blemishes, so I think it's a good product to keep on hand for calming blemishes, especially in times like these!
ConsIt's not very moisturizing. It feels like it's focused solely on soothing blemishes. For combination dehydrated skin like mine, hydration is essential... When I used it alone, I was shocked in the morning... My skin felt like it was cracking. It gave me that feeling like if I frowned even slightly, I'd get wrinkles! My face was so dry it was itchy, and I ended up scratching my cheeks in the middle of the night... The volume for the price? Considering it focuses on just one function - soothing blemishes, the volume for the price is a bit disappointing.
TipAfter various tests, for those with similar skin types to mine, I recommend applying a light gel or lightweight moisturizer to provide sufficient hydration before using this cica balm. This should lead to even faster soothing effects! You can apply it not just on your face, but also on your neck or back if you have red blemishes there. Apply it at night before bed, and they'll calm down quickly!

I decided to try this product because I was concerned about two blemishes that appeared on my cheeks. After using it for about two days, I found the application to be smooth, and the scent was almost unnoticeable, which I liked and didn't find off-putting.
ConsOn the third day of use, I applied it in the morning before going out. Later, I was shocked to see several blemishes had appeared on both of my cheeks. While there wasn't any itching or tingling sensation, I was quite surprised when I looked in the mirror in the afternoon.
TipI'm planning to stop using it for about three days. Since this product contains a high amount of Centella Asiatica extract, I'm wondering if my skin might not be compatible with it. If I continue to experience skin irritation, I'll consider visiting a dermatologist.
