ProsWhen my skin condition was terrible, I used it based on a friend's recommendation and saw the effects! The soothing effect was great.
ConsI wish it was in a smaller volume. The volume was more than I expected, even when I used a bit more.

ProsIf you have acne-prone or oily skin, you must try this! I was a bit skeptical at first, but my face has really calmed down a lot..! Of course, as someone with severe acne, it doesn't completely eliminate my breakouts, but the inflammation and bumps have improved significantly. And in my experience, I don't feel any tightness even without using a moisturizer after applying this. I've used up half a bottle and ordered another one. I don't usually write reviews, but this is a really great product, so give it a try!
ConsI personally enjoy this scent, but it has a herbal/tea tree-like aroma that some may find unpleasant. However, it has a cleansing and soothing effect on my face, so I quite like it. 💚
TipI apply it once in the morning and twice in the evening, layering it on.

Pros I thought I didn't have any particular allergic reactions to Houttuynia cordata, tea tree, and centella, and that they were good for me.
However, I didn't think it was worth buying each essence and using them.
Especially with Houttuynia cordata or tea tree, which are 90% concentrated, using them made my skin feel slightly irritated, so after considering it, I bought ones that have a moderate amount of those ingredients.
I originally didn't use serums, so when I bought the Cicapair serum, I didn't even use it for about 3 days. Haha, the habit wasn't there yet. Haha.
Since my skin is originally flushed and sensitive,
if I don't use a cleansing toner, it feels like something is left unclean, so I stubbornly stuck to using the cleansing toner. ㅠㅠ
Then, due to the swimming pool and sunlight, my skin was completely messed up, and even light touch was painful, so instead of the cleansing toner, I tried the Cicapair serum after washing my face, and my skin completely calmed down!!!! I was really surprised the next day. ㅠㅠㅠ
Of course, the small blemishes didn't disappear overnight, but at least the big troubles subsided (the most important thing) and it didn't feel irritated.
After that, I stopped using the cleansing toner and just applied the serum right after washing my face,
and the flushing and small blemishes improved a lot, and the dryness of my skin decreased!!!
Of course, it didn't transform my skin into a perfectly smooth one. But for someone like me with sensitive skin that was irritated and flushed, this was a really revolutionary result. 😭😭😭
My original routine was
Cellceutic pH skin toner + Dewytree Pick & Quick mask + Atobearrier MD cream (Avène SOS cream at night)
And now it's
Cicapair serum + Atobearrier MD cream (Avène SOS cream at night)
One of the good things about the Cicapair serum compared to other serums is that even if you apply a lot, you don't get the feeling of being overly nourished. It doesn't create that oily, thick film, you know? But it's not drying either.
So you can use a lot of it without feeling burdened. bb
I highly recommend it for those with sensitive skin like me. 😁
Cons As I mentioned before, since the Cicapair serum is quite lightweight even when applied generously,
it may be a bit drying if used alone by those with dry skin.
And if you're expecting a rich, heavy serum, you might be disappointed.
Also, I'm not sure if it's because I use it multiple times per application, but the amount seems to run out faster than expected. ㅠㅠㅠ
I think it's a good idea to stock up on a few bottles and use them.
Tip It seems like a good idea to use the Cicapair serum as a first serum after cleansing. bb

ProsCentella extract: Calms and recovers troubled skin
Artemisia extract: Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties
Tea tree extract: Anti-inflammatory and sebum control
I've been using it for about 2-3 weeks, and it's the most effective soothing serum I've tried! When I have a painful breakout, I apply it and go to sleep, and it stops the inflammation from getting worse. The next day, the blemish is visibly calmed down, so now it's a must-have product whenever I have a breakout.
The formula is a runny type, between a water-based and gel-based texture, so it feels more hydrating than oily.
As a university student studying cosmetics, I've been interested in many brands, but this is one of the few that I really love in terms of packaging, product functionality, and the brand itself. I plan to continue using it in the future.💕
ConsThere were no downsides! I even applied it to my younger brother who had acne, and he was amazed at how quickly it calmed his skin down. Haha.
TipI saw on their website that they're having a launch sale right now! I'm going to quickly repurchase it.

ProsWow, I love it so much! I've been looking all over for this serum and couldn't settle on one, but I think I've found the one! My skin is a bit dry and sensitive, but the tea tree ingredient helps soothe it and keeps it moisturized - it's just wonderful.
ConsHmm.. I don't really see any downsides. Using it has made my skin even better, so I only have positive things to say about it.
TipUsing the toner to prep my skin and then applying the serum leaves my skin feeling so hydrated and amazing. It's great to use when I'm dealing with skin issues.

ProsIt's perfect for dry skin! The runny texture is light and as it absorbs, it coats the face with moisture. It seems like a good option to use even in the summer without feeling heavy. And without any added fragrance, the natural extracts make it pleasant to apply.
ConsHmm... I can't really think of any disappointing aspects.
