I didn't experience any breakouts either.
ConsIf you use a bit too much, it can feel a bit heavy and sticky on the face for a while. I guess that's because it's a product that helps with dryness. I applied a generous amount, wore a mask, and felt stuffy, so I had to wash my face as soon as I got home. Other than that, it seems like a pretty good product.
TipDon't apply too much, just use an amount the size of a bean and spread it thinly. If you feel it's not enough, you can always add more.

It has a soft, lotion-like texture, but applies with a thicker, cream-like feel. The tube packaging provides a nice, smooth application. The photo is for reference only. The product spreads well and provides decent moisturization, even when applied thinly.
ConsApplying too much product causes it to slip off like a layer. Its inherent moisturizing power is not bad, but it is difficult to apply a lot, so in comparison to creams with higher moisturizing power, it is somewhat lacking. Even though it is not dry skin, it was insufficient in the winter. It is difficult to say that the absorption is fast or lightweight. On the other hand, it does not have a sticky, heavy feeling after application.
TipIt can also be used as a body cream if applied lightly.

The application is smooth and creamy, and the finish seems to have a slightly moisturizing effect. However, there is also a slight oily feeling, so those who prefer a more refreshing finish or have oily skin may not like it. When used together with the Cicago Double Effect Ampoule, the moisturizing power is great and the combination works really well. I felt that using products from the same line is a good idea. When used together, my skin felt moisturized both in the evening when I applied it and in the morning when I woke up. I'm planning to purchase the full-size product.
ConsI don't have any particular issues. It seems to be a soothing cream, but I'm not sure about the soothing effect. The moisturizing power is good, though.

The price-to-performance ratio is good, but the volume is a bit small.
ConsThere's some pilling when applying makeup. I've tried almost all the Aesop product lines, and this finishing cream was the most disappointing. No matter how good a product is, if it pills or smears when applying sunscreen, it's unusable.
TipI'm just using it as a hand cream now;;

It didn't feel sticky, which I liked. The application was good too... I trust Isoi, and I believe in their ingredients as well. But for me, there aren't any other major benefits..😭
ConsIt doesn't feel sticky, but there's a subtle lingering sensation. It's kind of rough, you know? I prefer products with a bit more oil, so this didn't work for me... Since it's a makeup base cream, I thought it would help my makeup apply well, but... When I used this and then applied foundation, the pores and foundation started to separate... After some time, the foundation started to get stuck in my pores... Ugh, I hate it ㅜㅠ
TipIf you just need something simple for going out or staying at home and want to test it out with your full makeup routine, then you can try it. As for me... I don't see any benefits for using it at night, and during the day, my makeup starts to bother me... So I'm just keeping it in storage... I wonder where I should use it...😱

ConsI was extremely satisfied with the Chicago Ampoule...I was moved by the Chicago Serum Pad...I was mentally preparing myself for the joy I might experience with the Finish (Ultimate) Cream, but after applying it...oh, the spreadability is good, the oil content is appropriate, and it's not sticky at all. I was admiring it, but then a burning sensation started to rise. I couldn't believe it... Since it was burning, I thought it might not be compatible with other creams or ampoules, so after cleansing, I waited a bit and then reapplied it. Sure enough, this time it was accompanied by a burning sensation and redness, even with small bumps... I quickly cleansed again and ironically applied the Chicago Serum Pad, calmed the heat with a moisturizing cream, and then used the Isoi Doctor Acne 1st Speedy to soothe it...I ended up using the brand's products to calm the trouble I had after using their Finish Cream. Lesson learned...even for someone as hyper-sensitive as me, there is always a risk of my skin flipping out, even if the product doesn't contain any troublesome ingredients from the same brand.
TipSamples are not an option, but a necessity.

ConsDespite the name 'Sika', it has a lot of oil, so if you apply too much, it can cause some breakouts, especially for those with oily skin.
TipI don't use it often, but when I apply it before makeup, it really helps the makeup go on well.

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.
