Pros
- The tube-shaped design makes it convenient to use - The fragrance is refreshing
Cons
- Although it's a brand known for its gentle ingredients, I was unaware that some of the natural ingredients didn't suit me, and I suffered from small pustules for about two months. The trehalose (disaccharide) ingredient didn't agree with me. (I don't do well with polysaccharides and fermented ingredients) - The same disaccharide ingredient also caused breakouts when I used the same line's moisture gel
Tip
It seems fine to apply it on the hands and body

Pros
As someone who is passionate about the Chicago Ampoule, this cream seems suitable for use in the fall and winter, rather than spring and summer. It can be used on its own as a soothing product, rather than just as part of the same line of ampoules. The cream has a slight oily texture, which surprisingly provided good moisturization for dry skin types. It creates a thin, protective layer on the skin's surface. The citrusy, herbal fragrance is personally something I enjoy.
Cons
If not applied thinly, the cream can feel sticky and overly heavy, so proper application is key. However, when my skin felt slightly under-moisturized, applying just a small amount to the dry areas at the end provided a satisfying boost. Still, I wouldn't recommend this as a primary daily moisturizer. The overall usage experience is not as impressive, and I'm not sure of the cream's unique merits. Especially when used alongside the Chicago Ampoule, the combination can leave the skin feeling lacking in hydration and overly oily.
Tip
This cream can be a useful option during transitional weather when it's difficult to maintain optimal hydration with just one moisturizer. Use it sparingly, applying a thin layer and allowing it to absorb briefly.

Pros
The scent is citrusy and pleasant. While it may vary by individual, I personally found the cream to be very nice and creamy.
Cons
After the renewal, it was registered as one of the cosmetics that causes skin irritation due to the addition of allergenic ingredients, along with other Cicaeffect ampoules. Before the renewal, all the creams were made without any allergenic ingredients, but after adding fragrance, my skin became more sensitive. I don't think I'll be buying the Isoi Cica line again... Please renew it to be even better in the future.

Pros
☆Fragrance☆ The fragrance is almost natural, not at all intrusive, and even those sensitive to scents can use it well. Unless you apply a lot, the fragrance is not noticeable even from up close. ☆Oiliness☆ There is a slight moistness, but 'oily' would be a more appropriate description. However, it is not heavy. It has a lightweight, easy-to-use feel. In the summer, it may be too much for oily skin, but dry skin should not feel heavy. On the other hand, in the winter, oily skin is fine, but dry skin may feel dry, as that's the case for me right now. I apply it once or twice, and while it doesn't feel tight at first, after about 30 minutes to an hour, my face starts to feel tight, and I need to apply other products.
Cons
&Unremarkable& I've used other Isoi products well, especially the Cicago Ghost Ampoule, but I couldn't find any good points for this product considering the price. The advantage of being gentle is there, but it's not a particularly meritorious product for me, which is disappointing.

Pros
I forgot how expensive it was and applied a generous amount, then came in to write a review and was shocked by the price. I purchased the Chicago set on sale and have been using it well for 3 months. My skin is acne-prone in the T-zone but too dry elsewhere, so I've been applying a moisturizing cream. This is not an advantage or disadvantage, but just a TMI - the scent is peppery. It's quite unique. Setting that aside, the advantages would be: 1. Since it's cica, it feels good to apply. 2. The application is smooth and glides on well. 3. It's not drying at all. My skin becomes nicely dewy.
Cons
However, if you're hoping it will make your acne disappear, it's best not to expect that. But it does have the effect of smoothing the skin around the affected area. If used together with the Chicago ampoule, your skin will definitely feel cooler and more pleasant.

Pros
👍🏻I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, but this has a lemon?? scent - a refreshing aroma. I think I used it well as it worked for me! 👍🏻I have very acne-prone skin, but this didn't make me itchy, red, or break out. It seems gentle. There was no stinging in my eyes either. 👍🏻If you apply too much, the oiliness can make your face feel heavy. Adjust the amount carefully and it should be fine. The texture spreads well, so a small amount goes a long way. This product may not suit all skin types in the summer. If you have oily skin, I'd recommend testing it in the winter. If you have dry or combination skin, you could use it as a winter cream even if you don't usually get breakouts. 👍🏻I was worried it would be more oily than hydrating, but fortunately my skin felt calmed and comfortable. I'm not sure if it has a soothing effect on breakouts, but my skin definitely felt more balanced and at ease. That's all.
Cons
👎🏻The price is a bit high compared to the effects. I'm not sure if it's effective for breakouts. I applied too much and got a couple tiny bumps around my pores. Be careful with the amount and apply it properly.

Pros
I tried it as a sample and ended up buying the full-size product. I was having severe breakouts from using the wrong skincare products, but after using this cream, the breakouts cleared up overnight, which really surprised me. Hmm... Also, I used to have redness, but my skin has been changing and the redness has been subsiding, it seems, after using this cream. The scent is a bit refreshing, reminds me of lemon in my nose... That's about it. The texture is very moisturizing at first, feeling a bit heavy, but it's not an oily feeling, it's just the moisture, and it absorbs well. (I have combination-dry skin, and these days in the autumn weather, my skin feels a bit tight when I don't apply anything.) +20191110 Addition My skin is always going through sensitive periods, and I tend to break out when I travel, but lately, when I apply this generously and sleep, there's nothing better. I have 100% intention to keep purchasing this. Next time, I'll buy the ampoule too. The more I use it, the more my skin looks brighter and clearer. My dull skin is becoming a bit more pink-toned and radiant... ♡
Cons
I haven't found any major downsides yet. However, like the entire Aesop line, the price range is a bit high, but with coupons, it's not much different from other skincare products. They have frequent sales, so take advantage of those periods!
Tip
This really helps absorb the previous toner, lotion, etc. well, and it makes the absorption much better, without any residue. I prefer to apply this before bed, but if you're using it right before makeup, make sure to give it enough time to fully absorb. (Personally, I'm not a big fan of the 'glass skin' look.)

Pros
I also bought the sample and used it together with the ampoule. I liked this more than the ampoule. It has a similar feel to the Espoir Finish Cream, and my makeup went on well. The scent is refreshing, and when I apply it lightly all over my face, it doesn't make me feel oily, but rather my makeup applies well. It also doesn't slide off. Moreover, it has a neutral feel. I have an oily exterior but dry interior, but when I use this, I don't feel that, and my skin feels nourished. My acne, which used to be like small bumps, also calmed down... If I had the chance, I would use this again.
Cons
That darn expensive thing... I'm still not ready to buy it again...
Tip
You can use it together with the ampoule or on its own. Since it helps makeup apply well, I recommend using an appropriate amount, not too much.

Pros
I'm using two full jars of this cream as it suits my skin so well. The application is smooth, and the absorption is excellent. When applied, the refreshing scent gently permeates, which I really enjoy. The best part was that my skin texture improved with consistent use. And the moisturizing effect is great - when I apply a generous amount for my nightcare and go to sleep, my skin feels soft and hydrated the next day! The ingredients are also good, so it's suitable for sensitive skin. The cream seems to have better product performance than the serum that was released together.
Cons
While it's great for surface-level hydration, the deep moisturizing effect is lacking, so it needs to be used together with a hydrating toner.
Tip
Using it together with a hydrating toner that's good for deep moisturizing works well.

Pros
This cream is the perfect companion to the Chicago Ampoule. After applying the ampoule, using this finishing cream will make your skin even more moisturized and soft. The fragrance is also pleasantly subtle, unlike many other cosmetics, so I highly recommend it. A little goes a long way, and it works well with color cosmetics too.
Cons
The price is a bit steep, but despite that, this cream is an essential product.
Tip
Use just a small amount. Even so, it spreads easily and the moisturizing effect lasts.
