Pros
A decent regenerating cream for oily skin types. It wasn't bad at all.
Cons
The texture is a bit thick when applying, but it spreads well if you massage it thoroughly on the back of your hand.

Pros
As a Hwahae Tester, I recently repurchased this product from Olive Young. I bought two 100ml bottles for around 36,000 won with coupons and discounts. After reading low-rated reviews online, I decided to buy from a physical store or official site to ensure authenticity. Firstly, it has a pleasantly subtle scent. When applied, it feels like a thin, slightly oily film, making your skin feel moisturized rather than matte. It's gentle and non-irritating, making it great for addressing skin pigmentation concerns.
Cons
The absorption isn't particularly impressive. If you don't thoroughly let your previous skincare steps (toner pads, serums, ampoules) absorb, this cream might feel like it's sitting on top of your skin. Also, you tend to use more of this compared to other creams. If hydration is your top priority, you might find this lacking as a final cream step. I know someone who uses it like an ointment, applying it only to specific areas that need extra care.

Pros
This is my holy grail cream... In my early 20s, I went through a really tough time with cystic acne and then stubborn closed comedones. I had to pile on makeup to cover it up, and my self-esteem took a hit, especially when I was in sunlight and my uneven, bumpy skin was so noticeable. It became a vicious cycle - the more I tried to cover up, the worse my skin got. I even went to a dermatologist to get the comedones extracted, but it completely destroyed my skin barrier, leaving me with such bad redness that my foundation would melt off. I tried every cream that was supposed to be good, but nothing worked. I bought this one thinking I had nothing to lose... and I'm not exaggerating when I say it saved my skin. After just a month of using this, all my closed comedones were gone!
Cons
As everyone seems to agree, the texture when applying is really not great. It's quite thick and pasty, and especially if your skincare products underneath haven't fully absorbed, it just rolls around and won't spread evenly. However, even taking that into account, the effects are so powerful that I haven't found a better cream in years, no matter how expensive!
Tip
If you apply it thickly on areas with severe cystic acne or closed comedones, you'll see a significant improvement by the next morning! It's more oil-based than water-based, so while you sleep, it might stick to your hair or pillowcase due to the oil content. In that case, laying down a towel before bed works well! I was also shocked by how difficult it was to apply at first, but if you mix it with a cream that has a decent consistency (like Estee Lauder cream, for example), it solves the application problem completely. It's also great to apply thickly after extracting blemishes.

Pros
Reportedly good for scars and wounds. Has a calming effect. Decent moisturizing power for dry skin. I bought this after hearing it's recommended by dermatologists for soothing and hydrating the skin after laser treatments. I use it occasionally when my skin looks blotchy. While I don't have blemish-prone skin, so I can't speak to its effectiveness on scars, it does seem to have a calming effect. I didn't experience any adverse reactions or new blemishes. As someone with dry skin, I find that when I apply it at night, I don't feel any tightness or discomfort, even without a thorough skincare routine. The hydration is satisfactory. It seems to contain some kind of calcareous ingredient, as it leaves a slight white cast when applied, similar to a mineral sunscreen. This does fade somewhat over time.
Cons
The texture is too thick and it doesn't absorb well. It leaves a white cast. The oily residue makes it more suitable for nighttime use rather than morning application. After applying your base skincare, when you put on the Cicapair, the initially solid cream seems to transform into a liquid upon contact with your face... It's an odd, semi-solid consistency. As you pat it in, you're left wondering what exactly you're spreading on your face - a mixture of residue and oil that's turned liquid. It takes quite a bit of effort to absorb, so I only reach for it occasionally when my skin isn't at its best due to the hassle.

Pros
I bought this regenerating cream because I needed one. The scars from my laser treatment gradually faded away nicely. I was able to purchase it as part of a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and since it's a large size, I could apply it generously without worrying about running out. That was really great!
Cons
Compared to the La Roche-Posay product I used before, the absorption of this cream is definitely not as good. While La Roche-Posay feels like an emulsion, cream, or balm, this Avène product has a thick, ointment-like texture.

Pros
The texture is quite thick, so you need to apply it very thoroughly. At first, it appears very pale, like sunscreen, but it melts in after several applications. In the middle of winter, it can be quite dry, so I mix it with oil before applying. The packaging is simple, which I like. It doesn't seem to have any special fragrances. There's no artificial scent. As a basic moisturizer, it's quite decent.
Cons
The sunscreen applied on top feels heavy and thick.

Pros
When your skin is sensitive, applying a mask-like product at night and sleeping with it on can help soothe it by the next day. Your makeup will also apply better.
Cons
After applying the moisturizing product, this product applies smoothly without much effort.

Pros
Not oily and moist, doesn't feel sticky I used to have trouble with creams because my skin is sensitive, but this one doesn't cause any issues and is amazing
Cons
The texture is a bit lacking. Sometimes when I squeeze it, the oil layer separates and only the oil comes out.

Pros
In winter, it has great moisturizing and soothing properties. Even though I have oily skin, there is not a single trace of greasiness.
Cons
There is a whitening phenomenon. The application is not smooth. And when the temperature is low, the contents seem to separate.

Pros
My skin was quite irritated, reddened, and slightly stinging, so I applied this product generously without using any other creams. 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.
Cons
The 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.
