It's great to use when you wake up feeling dry.
ConsI'm worried that the oily skin might cause millet-like acne to break out.

ConsThe product can feel slightly greasy, and at times it may even exacerbate acne breakouts.

I used to frequently test products on my chin, which caused the area to worsen to the point of oozing. Even when I didn't apply anything, it would still be irritated. I had to apply something, and since I heard good things about this product, I tried it. The result... it had an immediate effect just like the prescription ointment from the dermatologist! The oozing that had been happening for a week suddenly stopped, and the next day, the itchiness was completely gone. And the reddened, damaged area with thick dead skin all over it started peeling off, and about a month and a half later, it had completely recovered. 🤭 In the middle, I also tried applying dipanthenol ointment and La Roche-Posay Cicaplast, but they didn't seem to work for me, and the oozing started again, so I quickly reapplied the Cicaplast. That slowed down the recovery a bit, but now my chin is perfectly fine!
ConsThe skin barrier on my cheek is a bit damaged (no oozing, no stinging, just a slight snake-skin feel and itchiness due to frequent testing), so I tried using this product, but it caused cystic acne 😥 I tried applying it on its own and also mixing it with a little moisturizer, but whenever I apply it anywhere other than my chin, it leads to cystic acne. Haha, it's just not working for me. I used it for 3 days straight, and it felt a bit heavy, and I almost had a relapse of folliculitis. I'll only use it as an SOS treatment when my skin is oozing.
TipApply it to the area that is reddened and inflamed to the point of oozing.

After applying it and sleeping, I woke up to find that the redness had significantly subsided and the stinging sensation had improved as well. This is already a repurchase item for me, so I use it with confidence. After applying, my face becomes slightly whitened and has a shiny, oily glow, but it's not unpleasant.
ConsThe product has poor spreadability. Even though it contains oil, it lacks sufficient moisturizing power, so the skin feels tight after a short time. Additionally, it tends to cause small pimples after a few days of use. It's also disappointing that it can't be used before makeup application.

The redness quickly subsides, so it's great for when you urgently need SOS relief.
ConsAreas with high sebum production, such as the T-zone or chin, may experience increased appearance of blackheads or acne when using this product. Oily skin types must be cautious with the application amount. The formula is thick and can be challenging to spread evenly. As a result, it is difficult to control the amount applied. The product has a greasy, oily texture which leads to slower absorption.
TipApplying a sleeping pack like a face mask to the areas that need soothing before bed can lead to great results the next day!

Luckily, I didn't have any pockmarks, but the pigmentation was quite severe. This cream alone has completely resolved my pigmentation issues! I'm not exaggerating at all 👻 That's why I recommend this cream to all my friends who have acne-prone skin or a lot of scars. This cream is not just something you slather on like a regular cream. ▫️Absorption▫️ is the most important thing! That's how you can truly experience the benefits of this cream. When I first used it, I didn't focus on absorption and just applied it generously like a moisturizer, and my face actually broke out more with small bumps. ❌ I think the thick texture clogged my pores and caused that❌ After that, I left the cream aside for a while, but then I saw a YouTube video recommending it again, so I took it out and focused on absorption this time. And one by one, the scars on my face started visibly fading! I really hope you listen closely to my testimony and experience the same effects... 😩 I always apply this cream after completing my moisturizing routine! It's like a protective layer! I've been using this cream since high school, and I'm still using it in my late 20s :) For those struggling with acne and pigmentation! Don't keep putting off going to the dermatologist, and try managing it with this cream instead!
ConsThe thick texture requires you to pay attention to absorption. If you don't, it can clog your pores and cause more breakouts!!
Tip🤍 Absorption is the key 🤍

If used incorrectly, it can cause serious acne breakouts, but if used properly, it can be a skin-brightening item ⭐️ 🥲 I've written this out of the desire to share with you the lessons I've learned through various trials and errors 🥹 I've studied a lot on YouTube and have mastered the proper way to use this cream.. 👉 Our skin's moisture-oil balance is absolutely critical. This is because by adding moisture and forming a protective oil barrier, we can prevent water loss and maintain healthy skin. This applies equally to all skin types, except for extremely oily skin. The ratio of moisture and oil will vary depending on your skin type. 👉Dry-oily skin (Subuji) means the skin is lacking in moisture. But if you only add moisture, it will evaporate quickly.. resulting in severe inner dryness. Personally, I think dry-oily skin needs about an 8:2 ratio of moisture to oil. 👉 On the days you use this cream, you must use a mildly alkaline cleanser. Dry-oily skin is still fundamentally oily-based. Cleansing thoroughly, replenishing moisture, and sealing it with oil is key to preventing breakouts. But it's better to only use it in the evening. 🙅♀️ So when I used this cream, I ended up with a bunch of little bumps (acne).. 1) Used a mild acidic cleanser 2) My skin hurt so I layered a moisture ampoule twice 3) Couldn't apply anything else so I just slapped on this cream 4) Thought I should apply it thickly, so I rubbed it on my palms and just patted it all over my face (without properly absorbing it) The result? I felt itchy and uneasy lying in bed, and the next day my entire cheeks were covered in little bumps. I think it's because I didn't properly replenish the moisture and just layered on the oil. You guys know that those little bumpy acne are more of a moisture issue than just dead skin, right?! 🙆♀️⭐️ The method I've learned 1) First cleanse with a cleansing milk (I recently switched to a milk from Clio and my skin feels much less irritated) 2) Use a mildly alkaline (no AHA/BHA) cleanser that doesn't overly dry the skin (personally, the Perfect Whip Collagen one works well for me) 3) Pat skin lightly to remove excess water, then immediately apply a sheet mask for 3-4 minutes (anything with alcohol is a no-go, it irritates my skin) 4) Gently pat the remaining toner, and then pat on another layer of toner. You absolutely must not pat it on forcefully! Gently press it in, like handling a baby. 5) Layer a hydrating ampoule twice (I use the one from Tosowoong - it really helps with inner dryness) 6) Next, the soothing cream!! Apply it according to your skin texture and allow it to absorb 7) Finally!!! Scoop out a tiny amount of the Cicapair cream on the back of your hand and gently roll it between your palms to make a thin, translucent layer. Then, apply it starting from the outer cheeks, following your skin texture, and let it absorb. (Gently spreading it works better for absorption than pressing down) Use the remaining amount to lightly apply on the T-zone.
ConsIf you can't control the oil, you may get butterfly acne. It can be a bit tricky for those with oily or combination skin types.
TipTry the method I explained to you. Until now, I only used moisturizing products because I had dry skin, but after adding some oil, I've encountered a supple skin texture that I've never felt before. ⭐️⭐️And you should scoop a bit onto the back of your hand, roll it around, spread it thinly, and apply it along the skin texture, absorbing it in. This is very important! (Start from the outer parts of the cheeks) Let's leave the thick application to those with dry skin ㅜㅜ 👉If I'm lacking in moisture but have some oil - use a skin, moisture ampoule, moisturizing cream, and oil cream in thin layers 👉If I'm lacking in both moisture and oil - use a skin, moisture ampoule, (you can add a nourishing serum or ceramide serum), lotion, and oil cream or facial oil in layers 👉If I have moisture but lack oil - use a watery skin, ampoule, lotion or oil cream, or facial oil in thin layers

It's the best for reducing redness and I think it's the best in the regenerative cream category!
ConsAlthough it's non-comedogenic, it has a lot of oil content, so it's difficult to use it daily for oily skin types. Whiteheads or inflammatory acne sometimes appear, so I'm not sure if it's because of this product, which makes me hesitant to use it...

My skin became whiter and softer, which I really liked.
ConsI bought it based on the reviews saying it's good for acne, but after using it, my acne actually got worse. I had to go to the hospital and spend money. So I only apply it to areas without acne, like my neck or the back of my hands. It's better not to apply it directly on sensitive, acne-prone areas. It seems to have a lot of oil components.
