  Pros

  When Innisfree launched the Bija Cica line, I really wanted to try it, but I was hesitant due to the price. However, I had used up my previous spot treatment products, and the Disney collaboration was happening, so I decided to purchase it! The great thing about the Cica line is that it contains madecassoside and other ingredients that help with troubled skin. Definitely, after applying it, my inflamed, troubled skin feels soothed and refreshed. Apparently, the Cica Balm is more popular than the Cica Gel, but since I had issues with the IOPE Derma Repair Cica Cream causing closed comedones, I decided to try the gel first. And since it's summer, the gel would probably feel more cooling. I think the best part about this product is that even though it's a gel, it absorbs into the skin without any residue, and there's no pilling after applying spot treatments. It's just so clean and lightweight! I think I've covered everything... It's great for soothing and absorbing, and it's lightweight... Haha! These days, I've been using this product before bed to help with the breakouts on my chin from wearing masks, and in the morning, I follow up with a pimple patch. I hope the day comes soon when my skin can be free (?) from all this trouble.

  Cons

  Reasons for the 4-star rating: 1. 22,000 won for 40ml... Oh no... Haha... The price is unavoidable. 2. It's unscented... So it has this unique, snail-like (?) scent. Ugh... Haha But humans are adaptable animals, so I got used to it eventually!

  Tip

  The photos show a size comparison and the product contents. It's a transparent and almost completely non-viscous, lightweight type. You can kind of see in the photos that it has a watery (?) flow at the edges...

  Pros

  It's not always possible to have perfect skin, so I had just resigned myself to that fact. But then I discovered the Innisfree Cica Gel! When my skin is acting up, with the occasional breakout or bumps, applying this all over my face visibly calms and soothes it by the next day. I keep both the Cica Balm and Cica Gel on my vanity and choose the texture I need at the time.

  Cons

  The only downside is that it has a slightly peculiar scent, similar to other sensitive skin products. But I've come to see that as a sign of healthy, natural ingredients, so I don't mind it at all. It's almost fragrance-free.

  Tip

  When my skin gets irritated or sensitive, applying this to targeted areas or all over my face is incredibly effective at soothing and calming it.
