ConsThe fragrance is a bit... It has an artificial scent. The moisturization doesn't last very long either.

It absorbs quickly and has good moisturizing power! I have sensitive dry skin, and this product is perfect for people with a similar skin type. I bought it at Olive Young when I needed a lotion in a hurry, and it came with a small toner. Since then, I've been using it as the last step in my nighttime skincare routine.
ConsI didn't have any issues, but for those with oily skin, it might feel a bit slippery or not work as well. At first, there was a slight rubbery scent, but it goes away as you continue using it.
TipI apply toner, serum, and then this lotion, and it works great! My skin looks radiant. I prefer a lighter lotion in the morning, so I use a different product, but I apply this one at night. It's a wonderful addition to my routine!

I only used the Jaowon Mugwort Essence Gel Cream, but suddenly, my skin flipped over during the seasonal change, and I developed bumpy, non-pus-filled acne around my mouth that was difficult to squeeze. Just in case, I started using the CosRX Centella Toner and Centella Ampoule again. Surprisingly, after 3 days, my skin calmed down, and as the weather got colder and drier, I needed a cream, so I bought one. The cream is not too oily and seems to have the right amount of sebum. So far, I haven't had any problems using it. My skin is fine. I'm so relieved that using the CosRX toner, ampoule, and cream trio has made my skin good again.
ConsThis Cica line doesn't have as nice a scent as I expected. It's not a herbal scent, but more like an ointment-like smell. It's heavy, but not as moisturizing as expected. My skin feels stuffy.
TipDuring the Olive Young sale period, I also bought the 1+1 toner and got a mini cream as a gift.

When I looked at the texture, I thought it would be matte, but it wasn't. I haven't experienced any calming effects yet, so I'll need to use it more to see if it has a soothing effect.
ConsThe scent is like a fragrance-free ointment, and it was a bit irritating at first. However, it dissipated quickly, so it didn't bother me much.

First of all, it has a soothing and calming effect, and the reddish blemishes quickly subside, which I really like.
ConsIt has a smell like an ointment, but it's not too strong, so I think it will be a matter of personal preference.

But when I actually applied it, it absorbed into my face like a moisturizing cream, leaving it feeling moisturized and not sticky at all! 🔥Soothing Effect🔥 You shouldn't have high expectations, but on the other hand, it doesn't cause any other skin troubles!!! The soothing effect isn't dramatic, but I think it can be useful as a daily soothing cica cream, especially in the summer!
ConsThe scent is a bit... too much like an ointment ㅠㅠ Other than that, there's nothing disappointing!!!
TipFor those with dry skin, it may feel a bit drying! I think it's more suitable for summer than winter. If you feel it's drying, you can apply a thin layer of essence before the cream, and use the cream to seal in the moisture!

The texture was smooth and soft, and it absorbed well. Surprisingly, even though I have an oily, acne-prone complexion, I noticed a significant reduction in the amount of excess oil on my face after using this. It felt like it helped balance my oil and moisture levels. The application, absorption, and moisturizing properties were all great, so I think it could be used even before applying makeup. As for Cica's soothing and regenerative benefits, I'll have to use it more to see the full effects. But as a simple moisturizer, I think it would work well for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
ConsIf I had to nitpick, the scent was a bit like a medicated ointment, but since it doesn't contain any artificial fragrances, I don't mind it.

While I don't have acne or skin troubles, even a small amount of functional products can cause milia. My skin is very sensitive to ingredients and fragrances. As I've reached my 40s, my skin has also become quite dry. I usually scrutinize the ingredients in cosmetics and choose Hansalim products as needed, depending on the season. During the seasonal changes, my skin became more sensitive, so I tried a few Madeca products and the Dong-guk Madeca cream, which were helpful. However, the Dong-guk cream had a very strong fragrance, and I became curious about other products. That's when I was selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program. The Dong-guk Madeca cream had a much milder fragrance, and it was a gentle, moisturizing product. While it doesn't have many functional features, I think it's a simple, moisturizing product that can be helpful for soothing sensitive skin. I believe the product is a decent, unassuming one that fulfills the functions it claims. I was considering giving it 5 stars, but considering the lack of functionality and that I would only use it when my skin is sensitive, I've decided on 4 stars. The choice will depend on your skin condition and needs.
Cons1. Compared to the Dong-guk Madeca, this product has a milder fragrance, but it still has a medicinal ointment-like scent. It has a round, flat yellow container and has a similar ointment-like smell. This is just my personal experience. It seems the Madeca ingredients themselves don't have a particularly pleasant fragrance. 2. Since I had previously used products with anti-aging and whitening functions, even though this product has good moisturizing power, I didn't feel any noticeable improvement in skin elasticity. The Dong-guk one had a more bouncy, firm feel, but this felt more like a simple, gentle moisturizer. As I've aged, my skin sensitivity may have become more muted, so I think it would be better for me to use functional products again once my skin is less sensitive.
Tip1. Previously, I had used some heavier basic skincare products, and if I had used them together with this product, the oil content would have been too much, which wouldn't have been ideal. I strongly recommend using this product with hydrating basic skincare products. 2. As my skin became more sensitive, I purchased the Beplain Nokdu Foam and the toner and cica serum, and the Nokdu Foam was particularly helpful for me. Since this cream has good moisturizing properties, I realized I need to properly cleanse my skin in the morning and evening. Normally, if I didn't have to go out, I wouldn't cleanse my skin in the morning, or I would just do a water cleanse. Doing just one cleanse a day made my skin too sensitive. However, with this product, if I didn't cleanse in the morning, the oiliness would be difficult to tolerate, and if I just did a water cleanse and then applied the cica serum or this cream, my skin would feel itchy and I would get some trouble spots in the afternoon. On the other hand, if I didn't apply anything after the water cleanse, my skin would feel very tight. Fortunately, the Beplain Foam is a gentle, slightly acidic product, so I was able to use it for twice-daily cleansing without any issues. Even if it's not this specific foam, I recommend doing a gentle cleanse morning and evening, and using this cream in conjunction with it.
