I didn't experience any inflammatory breakouts after using it. The price seems quite reasonable. The volume may appear small, but you don't need to use much, so it's a good value for the price.
ConsIt doesn't seem to be very helpful for pigmentation issues. Clogged pores and blackheads spread to the areas where it's applied.

I saw that this product was highly recommended and also appeared quite often on YouTube, so I decided to purchase it. Thanks to the centella ingredient, I was able to see a slight calming effect on my troubled skin. While it didn't completely eliminate the redness as described in the detailed explanation, there was a noticeable difference compared to when I didn't use it. It absorbs well and I can apply it comfortably in the morning, and it doesn't interfere with my makeup application on top. I'm almost done with the product and plan to repurchase it.
ConsI feel like the finish has a slightly drying sensation. I would recommend applying multiple layers of ampoule or serum before using this product.

It didn't make my skin overly shiny, and after a while, the surface felt pleasantly smooth.
ConsI didn't see much of an effect. I never felt like my skin was improving or calming down.

The redness has significantly worsened, even though I didn't have it before. I'm currently trying the Leegeehaam line, as I heard it's gentle. 🎤 I prefer mild, moisturizing, combination, and non-oily products. I tried this Cicabomb and found it to be the most effective, so I purchased the rest of the Leegeehaam line. Despite the mask causing my skin to become inflamed, this has helped reduce the redness. I've used a lot of it and plan to purchase more. The ingredients are gentle, so I can use it without any burden. It absorbs smoothly into the affected areas. Surprisingly, it also helps with the dryness. Since the centella agrees with my skin, it's been effective for my blemishes. Just applying it for a day or two on the acne and reddened areas makes the marks mostly disappear. The redness on my entire cheeks seems to be gradually improving. 🍎 I'm sharing my current routine in case it helps anyone else who has developed contact dermatitis from wearing masks. (I'm also documenting my recovery process) 💡 Current Routine as of 2020.05.24: Leegeehaam Toner - Emulsion (Essence Pad), Cicabomb on the cheeks, Illiyoon Cream on the rest of the face.
ConsThe packaging is inconvenient, and the amount doesn't dispense well, sometimes coming out too much. I wish there was a larger size available.
TipIt's also good to apply an extra layer on the troubled areas after covering the entire face.

I saw an advertisement review while passing by and immediately went to the store to purchase the product. On the first day, I felt like it was improving a bit... and by the second day, I started to see quite a significant effect. After that, the effects gradually continued, and I was very satisfied!
ConsHmm, there's not really any downside, but you have to apply it consistently... If you forget and don't apply it, the effects seem to go back down.
TipHmm, there's not really anything else, and I think the most important thing is to do it consistently every day! And after applying, be sure to pat it in well so it absorbs into the skin.

This is a review after using it for a little over a week. My skin is sensitive and easily gets irritated by fine dust, incompatible cosmetics, and even slightly thicker foundations. The Cica Balm is fragrance-free and has a light pink color. As it is a balm, it has a slightly thicker texture than a lotion, but it is not sticky at all. The moisturizing power was also quite good. It may feel a bit drying if you only do a simple skincare routine and apply it. Since I have sensitive skin and was worried about irritation, I initially only used it in the evenings for about 3 days, monitoring the reaction. Once I confirmed it was fine, I started using it morning and night. My skin had become irritated due to fine dust and having to wear masks these days, and when I focused on applying it to the irritated areas, I saw visible improvement, though not overnight, but after using it consistently for a few days. I usually apply products directly to trouble spots, and the Cica Balm did not cause the troubled areas to worsen. As it is rated as a green-grade product, I was able to use it with confidence, knowing it is non-irritating and soothing for the skin. The packaging is hygienic as it is a squeeze tube, and the size is compact, making it convenient to carry around.
ConsSince I don't have redness, I wasn't able to see the effects on redness, but I think it may still be effective for redness since it has skin-soothing properties. I haven't used it for a very long time yet, so I'll update my review after using it for a longer period.
TipIf you do a thorough skincare routine and then apply it, it won't feel drying and you may see even better moisturizing effects. I recommend starting by using it only in the evenings, and then gradually incorporating it into your morning and evening routines after a few days.

In the winter, my skin becomes extremely dry, and around this time of year when the cold wind blows, I suffer from unexplained contact dermatitis/folliculitis once a year. The product's slogan claims it is excellent for redness, and it does help control temporary redness in the short term. However, my skin is actually more sensitive and easily irritated than just redness, so even when I apply it, I don't get much of a reaction, and I'm satisfied with the soothing effect. There is a cooling sensation when applied (although the texture is not a gel), the application is smooth, and the cost-effectiveness is also good, so I'm satisfied. Most importantly, when I apply it in the evening and wake up in the morning, there is no unnecessary greasiness (the surface of the skin does not feel slippery after morning cleansing), which I like. Furthermore, while calming the redness, I feel like my skin is stabilizing in some way. Being able to find this basic skincare from a drugstore brand, with good ingredients and in a convenient squeeze tube format without needing a spatula, I'm very pleased with it.
ConsThere's nothing I dislike about the product. It performs its functions well, and I can't think of anything negative.

And I've been using this along with the Cicapair Pad consistently, and my family has told me that my bare skin has improved a lot.😆😆 I'm on my 3rd set of this and the pad now... 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 I'll use it again 3 years later... This product is amazing I accidentally misused a massage device today and my skin just flipped out. My skin was burning hot and so irritated that I couldn't even fall asleep. But after applying this thinly about 2 times, it was completely healed...ㅠ It was so painful that I just laid there with it on, and it absorbed on its own and restored my skin to normal.ㅜㅜㅠㅠㅜ Impressive product performance.... I love you, Holicare team💕 If your skin is usually sensitive, you should definitely have one of these, just like how every household has a Hydrocortisone or Metaderm-like product.
ConsI had to apply it consistently from the early stages of my acne for it to work, and if I skip even a day of using this and the Cicapair Pad, 1-2 inflammatory acne pops up without fail.ㅠㅠ Maybe my skin has gotten used to it..
TipUse it together with the Cicapair Pad! I don't use toner or anything, I just use the pad, then apply a moisturizer, lotion, and the Cicabio Balm! That seems to really help soothe my skin!! Just apply it thinly...💛

My skin often gets irritated due to frequent drinking parties. With sensitive and dry skin, when it gets irritated, I just put on tea tree products, not knowing what else to use...? According to the instructions, it helps calm the skin, so I slathered it on and woke up, and my skin had noticeably improved in just one day. Wow, I'm so grateful... I found my holy grail product after 28 years~~~~~Thank you, Holika Holika!
ConsThere's nothing bad. It's a shame that my skin improved so much in just one day! Ah, it's a bit of a shame that I only realized it now.
TipOn the days when my skin is irritated, I apply a thick layer before bed.

To be honest, I bought it impulsively based on the sales associate's recommendation, but just a while ago, I had a terrible skin outbreak with rashes and pimples during a trip. But when I generously applied this cica cream before bed every night, it miraculously disappeared the very next morning... I just have to recommend this product in this review!
ConsThe size is too small. Please make a bigger one ㅠㅠ And it seems more hygienic to use since it's in a tube format rather than a jar.
TipI only apply it to the areas where I feel like I'm about to break out or where I have pimples. Then, the next day, the affected areas seem to have calmed down a bit! Applying it spot-by-spot like an ointment was more effective than spreading it all over.
