Being a gel-type, its texture is lightweight and applies smoothly and moisturizes when spread on the face. It absorbs quickly, leaving a soft, matte finish. As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes, I appreciate that it's non-comedogenic and appears to have gentle ingredients.
ConsWhile searching for a light, hydrating product for summer, I had high hopes for this gel-type cream, especially since I've had success with their 'cica cream' line. Unfortunately, after using it, I developed small bumps on my forehead. I sometimes react this way to gel-type cosmetics - it seems the ingredients in gel formulations don't agree with my skin.
TipHere's a little trick, though not exactly a pro tip: Soak a cotton pad generously with toner, use it as a quick mask, then apply the gel cream on top. This helps prevent moisture loss and gives you a soothing, deeply hydrating mask effect!

ConsUnfortunately, the texture felt more like applying silicone than I expected, which wasn't pleasant. What's worse, I'd always wake up with small, acne-like blemishes. As a result, I naturally stopped reaching for it. Considering the high price for the amount you get, it feels like a waste.

It didn't have an artificial scent either! ----------‐--------------‐--------------‐--------------‐------ (Added January 2022) I recently bought the Illiyoon Ato Soothing Gel and when I checked the ingredients, I noticed many overlapped with this product... I found this out through the Hwahae app. The Hwahae app is the best!!
ConsI'm so sad... The reviews were so good, and there were no posts about allergic reactions, so I took the plunge and bought both the gel-to-foam cleanser and cica gel cream. But after just 3 days, I had an allergic reaction and had to use prescription medication from the dermatologist. It's hard to see in the photo, but my skin was covered in small, bumpy red patches. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience. Please leave a comment if you have. I'm going back to my original gentle product (Pr*mera)..

Usually, when I apply gel creams, they evaporate and leave my skin feeling even drier, so I avoid them even in summer. But this one doesn't have that issue, which is great. While heavy creams can feel burdensome in summer, this one isn't heavy at all.
ConsIf you have combination dehydrated oily skin, I'm not sure if this is the best choice. It might be due to the changing seasons, but I'm a bit concerned about dryness if I don't layer another moisturizer on top. That's why I don't use this alone, but layer it with other products. I have sensitive skin, and while it doesn't cause any specific blemishes, my entire cheek area turns red. It's a bit scary as I worry something might break out. So I don't apply it daily, but rather every other day. This way, I haven't experienced any breakouts.
TipIf you have deep dryness and tend to get blemishes no matter what you apply, you might want to look for something else. Or if you've already bought this, make sure to layer a thin coat of your regular moisturizer or a rich balm like the Etude Multi Balm on top! It'll make your skin feel more secure. If your skin doesn't react easily to products, you dislike heavy creams, or you hate how gel creams evaporate but still want something light, you might want to give this a try.

(April 23 - May 2) (My skin type is combination dehydrated in the T-zone, normal in the U-zone) I was lucky enough to be selected, but wasn't sure how to use it at first. The instructions said to apply after toner, so I used it in this order: toner -> emulsion -> this cream! 1. Application It glides on incredibly smoothly! Maybe because it's a gel-type formula, but it just spreads so effortlessly and evenly! 2. Moisturizing power The hydration is truly impressive! It's been about 7 hours since I applied it, and my skin still feels perfectly moisturized! 3. Absorption It absorbs rather quickly, and I can feel it penetrating deep into my skin to provide hydration! 4. Scent I don't think there's any fragrance! I'm not sure about the toner and emulsion, but this cream definitely seemed unscented...
Cons1. Itchiness When I first applied it, my forehead was very itchy, and even now, various parts of my face feel slightly irritated... 2. Skin reaction After the initial application (maybe because I used a sample), my skin seemed to become slightly red and inflamed... It got better after I slept, but... Does this mean it doesn't suit me? 3. Blackhead accentuation The product description mentioned that it doesn't clog pores, but for some reason, it seemed to make the blackheads on my nose and across my face more noticeable... 4. Price If I wasn't part of The Hwahae Testers, I wouldn't even consider buying it due to the price... As a student, I can't afford expensive products, especially when it causes some irritation... It's really pricey! 5. Oil production After applying it in the morning, I felt something wet-like at school. When I checked, I noticed my skin had become oily...
TipI wouldn't recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin that reacts to strong ingredients!
