It's really effective for soothing and absorbs well due to its lightweight texture.
ConsDiscontinued... sadly discontinued... While it can be occasionally drying, which is a bit disappointing, applying an extra layer helps alleviate deep dryness.

Although it's a cica cream, unlike other brands, it's not sticky and absorbs quickly, which I love. It's a characteristic of this type of formula! It actually feels more like a hydrating moisturizer, so I used it frequently. Even my husband, who dislikes sticky products, applied it without complaint. I was pleased that it didn't feel heavy even when layered over toner and added as a soothing cream. Due to wearing masks, my husband developed many blemishes around his chin and mouth area. Since it's a non-irritating, gentle cream, he applied it without hesitation. With consistent use, we noticed that existing blemishes calmed down faster than before. However, it couldn't prevent new breakouts from forming due to continued mask-wearing. But that's not really a drawback of the product itself!
Cons1. The quantity is a bit disappointing if you want to use it generously as a sleeping mask. As a Hwahae Tester, I used it liberally to maximize its effects, but for use as a soothing cream, it might be better to apply it consistently to specific areas prone to blemishes, like the forehead and chin. 2. When I first received it, I noticed the packaging was entirely in English. While the green color of the case and its medicinal look suit a cica cream well, if they want to make this product widely known, it might be better to have the front label in Korean for immediate recognition.

It absorbs instantly too! It's perfect for use anytime.
ConsIf I had to point out a drawback, it might be that you don't feel much after applying it. But personally, I actually like that aspect, so I don't have many complaints.

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.ProsAs a member of The Hwahae Testers, I used this product exclusively after cleansing and toning, twice daily from August 24th evening to September 4th morning for an accurate review. Fragrance: Completely fragrance-free, which was my favorite aspect. As someone with a sensitive nose, I often hesitate to use products with strong scents, but this one truly has no smell at all. Application and Absorption: It applies smoothly and absorbs well. I was pleased throughout use as it's not sticky, which can be particularly unpleasant in summer. Blemish Control: While this is somewhat ambiguous, I didn't experience any new blemishes during the testing period. Update: After stopping use when the testing period ended, I noticed a few blemishes starting to appear by the evening of the 5th. While it could be due to a new ampoule not agreeing with my skin, it paradoxically proves that this product either doesn't cause blemishes or may have a suppressing effect on them.
ConsWow... I had to rewrite this after losing my initial review. Before using this product, my skin was overly sensitive and prone to blemishes due to my upcoming menstrual cycle. Skin Soothing? No. On the first day, after cleansing and toning, I applied about 5 pea-sized amounts. My entire face became itchy. Thinking it might be due to my poor skin condition, I tried to endure it, but the itching and redness worsened, forcing me to wipe it off. On the second day, I used the same amount after cleansing and toning. It was less severe than the first day, but my forehead area became particularly red and itchy. On the third day, I occasionally experienced redness and itching, mainly around my forehead. By the afternoon of September 4th, after 12 days of use for The Hwahae Testers review, my sensitive skin had calmed down and blemishes gradually subsided. However, I believe this was more due to the end of my menstrual cycle rather than the product's effectiveness.

I've been using the product for about a week since receiving it. It applies nicely without feeling sticky on the skin, and it absorbs well enough. Even with my combination dehydrated skin, there's no dryness or deep dryness, so it's great to use as the final step in your skincare routine.
ConsI had blemishes on my forehead, but I didn't feel any soothing effect. If anything, after applying this product, my face felt itchy, which seemed to prevent the blemishes from subsiding! When I scratched due to the itchiness, that area would turn red. I wonder why it's itchy despite not having any harmful ingredients? After using it for over a week, I switched back to my previous moisturizer. Also, the product feels heavier than expected and oil builds up quickly. I wouldn't recommend using it in summer.
TipI recommend applying it at night before bed rather than in the morning.

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.ProsAs a member of The Hwahae Testers, I received this product for review. I have combination dehydrated skin that's slightly sensitive and tends to be oily. Among all the skincare products I've tried, this one stands out for its perfect balance of oil and moisture. It's not too greasy but provides ample hydration, effectively maintaining my skin's oil and moisture balance! The absorption is truly impressive - it moisturizes without any stickiness at all! My T-zone is extremely oily, usually getting shiny shortly after cleansing. However, with Madecica, my T-zone stayed hydrated for hours without becoming greasy!! I also appreciated that the product is almost fragrance-free :) The ingredients are gentle, and I didn't experience any blemishes from using it.
ConsEverything's in English... While I do research products before buying, I don't think it's necessary to have everything written in English.. Also, although it claims to be 'trouble-less', it doesn't seem particularly effective for blemishes.

Texture and absorption: It wasn't as thick as I expected, which was great! It absorbs quickly after massaging it in two or three times, so the texture and how it absorbs are both excellent. Scent: It's almost unscented! I usually experience stinging and redness when using fragranced products, but this one caused no such issues, which I'm very pleased about. Blemishes: While I don't typically have many blemishes, I've been getting small ones lately due to wearing masks. After using this product morning and night for two weeks, while it didn't completely clear up my blemishes, I could see it was having an effect! The blemishes didn't get worse and seemed to be gradually disappearing, so I plan to keep using it consistently. Hydration and soothing: I was worried about deep dryness due to the texture, but there wasn't any issue at all! It was incredibly moisturizing! While I didn't notice much of a soothing effect, using it straight from the refrigerator did seem to have some calming properties. Skincare routine: In the morning, I used a toner to even my skin tone, followed by an essence, and then this product. In the evening, I followed the same steps but added a hydrating cream at the end. Overall: Through The Hwahae Testers, I've found my holy grail cream. No more searching for the perfect product! For reference, I have super sensitive, dry skin. It's so sensitive that not only do harsh ingredients not work for me, but even natural ones can cause issues (even the Numbers In Cell Serum didn't work for me). There's a reason why Cica products are so popular! Highly recommended!
ConsI didn't really have any complaints! The packaging was easy to use, and the product itself was excellent. However, like most creams, it does leave a slight glow after application. As someone with super dry skin, I loved this, but it might be a bit much for those with very oily skin. That being said, you can really feel how lightly it applies!
TipIt feels so refreshing when you keep it in the refrigerator!

My skin type: extremely oily with blemishes and super sensitive skin. This cream has great absorption and feels as hydrating as a moisturizer! The hydration was truly excellent, and it absorbs well into the skin. It provides good moisture without being thick or heavy like other cica creams, which is great. Regarding its soothing effects, while there weren't any dramatic visible changes, I could feel it gradually calming my skin from deep within. It's not irritating, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin!
ConsUnfortunately, it wasn't great for oil control. After application, my skin became shiny, so it's best to avoid using it before makeup. Also, I didn't see much improvement in managing excess sebum.

I've been using products that control oil in my skincare routine. I was feeling a bit unsatisfied with my current cream and was considering trying something new when I came across this product. I'm absolutely delighted with the results! First off, it absorbs beautifully and leaves a fresh finish that's easy to apply without feeling heavy. It also absorbs quickly into the skin. My previous product would pill and was tricky to apply, but this one goes on smoothly. What I appreciate most is that it doesn't seem to exacerbate oil production like some products do when they fail to balance oil properly. This aspect really won me over.
ConsThe only downside is the small quantity, and it's not specifically targeted for acne treatment. Also, since it's not particularly hydrating, it might not be suitable for those with dry 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.ProsHere's my review as a member of The Hwahae Testers: Texture: It's not too runny like a gel, nor is it thick like a cream. It has a nice gel-like consistency with small white particles that seem to melt and absorb into the skin as you apply it. My experience after a week of use: I have super sensitive skin that reacts quickly to harsh ingredients, but this product is genuinely gentle! When I apply a thick layer all over my face before bed, I wake up with noticeably hydrated skin. While it may not have dramatic effects on blemishes, it does provide hydration and seems to improve redness to some extent. I think it would be great to keep in the fridge and apply whenever you want to cool down your skin!
ConsFor my cystic acne on the chin area, which is more severe than small bumps, I didn't see any dramatic improvements. While it does provide hydration, I didn't notice significant soothing effects on my existing blemishes.
TipI found that keeping it in the refrigerator and using it cool enhanced its soothing effects, making them feel twice as effective!
