It has a great soothing effect and works well with makeup. It also helps a lot with redness. It's quite absorbent.
ConsThe formula absorbs well, so I use it up quickly. Even with discounts, the price doesn't drop below the mid-30,000 won range, which is a bit disappointing.
TipWhile I recommend using it consistently, I find the effects aren't as strong if you're not using it during those critical seasonal changes. I'd suggest only using it when your skin is really struggling with the transition.

My face was turned upside down due to the cosmetic ingredients, but when I washed my face, it felt dry and taut...Even though I applied various creams, they felt burdensome or drying, and I was particularly troubled by the acne. After using this cream, my troubled skin, redness, and especially the acne have improved significantly. So it was always comfortable to apply. And in my opinion, the texture was not too thin or too rich, but just right to provide adequate moisture.
ConsI didn't have this issue, but the product may have a mixed reception due to its drying nature. However, if you adjust the amount you use, I think even combination/dry skin types can use it well!!
TipIf you feel dryness after cleansing and using toner or serum, I recommend applying this.

However, I found that using the Isoi Cica Ampoule helped soothe my skin, so I decided to try the cream as well. ❣ It has a calming effect on troubled skin. ❣ It is formulated with good ingredients. ❣ It applies smoothly and leaves a healthy glow on the face. ❣ It is not too heavy or too light for dry areas, and it works well with the ampoule, especially during seasonal changes and winter.
Cons😥 Personally, I found the ampoule alone to be effective, so I'm not sure if using the cream in addition provided any synergistic benefits. In fact, it sometimes led to the appearance of small bumps in my T-zone, which was more manageable when I just used the Cica ampoule. 😥 It doesn't fully replenish deep hydration. For drier areas, I had to apply the Cica ampoule in multiple layers and then use the cream to alleviate the dryness. 😥 During use, I still experienced occasional breakouts triggered by factors such as cleansing oils, waters, mask-wearing, and weather changes. The barrier-strengthening effects of the ampoule and cream seem to be limited. 😥 The price is not particularly affordable.
TipI don't have any special tips to share. For dry areas, using the Isoi Cica (Guishin) Ampoule along with the cream can be helpful, as the ampoule contains a suitable amount of oil that helps with smooth application and effectively addresses dryness.

I tried the sample of the serum from the same line and immediately bought the full-size product. At first, the finish felt a bit like sunscreen and I had a sense of a film on my skin, which felt stuffy. But when I applied it with a light, coating-like touch, it was fine for my combination skin~
ConsAs an Aesop subsidiary, it's expensive... And personally, I didn't feel much of a calming effect. It's just a gentle, not too oily moisturizing cream..? But I'm willing to bear the price for the charm of being unassuming and suitable for sensitive skin...ㅠㅜ
TipFor those with combination skin, it might be difficult to use in the summer, but during the rest of the seasons, applying the serum from the same line and then lightly coating the skin should work well without feeling stuffy.

When my skin was irritated or inflamed, applying it would soothe it, so I switched over to the Bulgarian line.
ConsAs I used it, the lid would break and the lettering would come off, getting on my hands. I'll wait and see if they improve it as they said they would.

I quickly went back to using the Cicago ampoule and Cicapair Finish Cream that had worked well for me before. After using them for about 10 days, my skin calmed down, proving their effectiveness once again. Whenever my skin gets unsettled, I'll be reaching for Cicago from now on.
ConsAfter application, there was a bit of an oily feeling, so the finish wasn't as fresh as I'd like. My skin also felt slightly irritated.

It has helped me regain control of the redness. I feel reassured by the gentle and non-irritating ingredients for my delicate skin. Unlike the prescription ointment that would smear my makeup, this product doesn't budge. I truly love Aesop.
ConsThe fragrance is not quite my preference, but I've decided to overlook that for the sake of the kind ingredients.

My skin barrier is much thinner than the average person's. So my skin can flip from good to bad and vice versa in a single day. When it's irritated, I apply the Cicago ampoule, but when I use this cream, my skin feels so soothed and calmed down - it's one of my must-have items! I can't live without it. For my weak and thin-barrier skin, the creamy and ointment-like texture of this cream feels like it's forming a sturdy skin barrier on top of my face. But it doesn't feel heavy or greasy at all - it absorbs well into the skin. After applying, my irritated skin is greatly soothed, and it effectively prevents water loss. The cream has a rich but non-greasy texture that makes my skin feel plump and healthy. It's as if it's creating an additional healthy barrier for my thin and weak skin. It feels incredibly comfortable. I've already repurchased this twice and will continue to stock up on it. It might feel a bit heavy in the summer, but it works well for all other seasons.
ConsFor those with oily skin, this cream might feel a bit occlusive. When I wear this cream and exercise or sweat, I don't experience a refreshing, free-flowing sweat. Instead, it feels like a healthy barrier has formed on my skin, making it harder for the sweat to come out. So for people with a lot of sweat or oil, this cream might feel too occlusive and uncomfortable for their skin.

I tried applying the redness cream, but it didn't improve and my makeup started peeling off and flaking. But now, after 2 weeks of using this product, the redness is gone!! I tried the sample and liked the feel, so I bought it and the redness has disappeared and my skin feels a bit lighter, it's really great!
ConsThe price is a bit on the expensive side The formula is quite lightweight, so I'm not sure if the hydration will be sufficient until winter, but for now it seems to be enough.
TipIf you buy it at the department store, my sister will give you tons of samples The offline and online prices are the same during the discount period!

I've tried many famous soothing creams and regenerative creams, but I haven't found a single product that I really liked. They were all too heavy, sticky, and had an excessive oily feel, so my skin would improve but then suddenly become overproductive with oil, causing it to flip back and forth. However, this product has oil in it, but it also has a lot of moisture. Applying it feels just like putting on a regular moisturizer, which surprised me. It's also excellent at reducing redness and soothing the skin. But now that it's getting warmer, I find it a bit heavy to use, so I've just been occasionally applying a small amount when my skin gets unbalanced. I'd like to purchase and use this again when the weather gets colder.
ConsThe price is a bit disappointing, but Isoi products generally have higher prices. However, if you use coupons when purchasing, it should be reasonable.
TipI use this product along with the same line's mist and ampoule. I squeeze out a tiny bit, just slightly larger than a pea, and it's enough to cover my entire face, and my skin still feels very moisturized.
