Sica SOS Mask

Too Watery

Leaves a Sticky Residue

Doesn't Adhere Well

Not Effective for Wrinkle Reduction

May Cause Eye Irritation

No Whitening Effect

Slippery

Soothing

Clears Breakouts

Not Irritating

Provides Cooling Effect

Feels Comfortable

Moisturizing

High Amount of Essence 

The sheet doesn't seem to adhere very well. It's not that it doesn't stick at all, but the edges, especially around the eye area and outer parts of the face, don't seem to cling as tightly.

This is a great product for soothing and hydrating the skin.
The sheet has a slightly gauze-like feel, but the essence is well-absorbed. When applied, it provides a cooling sensation and makes the skin feel comfortable. The moisture is felt the quickest, yet it doesn't feel heavy to use. It's also fairly quickly absorbed. Being lightweight, it's good for daily use as well.
It would be even better to use in the summer, as it worked fine without needing to be chilled.

☝️ A Bit Lacking in Moisture for Dry Skin
Since my skin is quite dehydrated, I almost use a pack daily, but with this one, I couldn't feel a significant moisture boost right after removing the pack. Since my skin isn't troubled, I think I should try a more hydrating line instead of the Cica one.

🤝 Mild Ingredients, Affordable Price
In the mask pack era, there are so many diverse products, but the competition for the Cica line doesn't seem as intense as others. Among the various products, I'm glad I could use this one without burden, as it has relatively mild ingredients and an affordable price! Most of all, it was easy to apply and the essence didn't drip excessively, so it was good to use as a daily pack :)

It would be better to just use the essence from the same line and manage your skin care routine at home with devices like galvanic or age-care products that help with absorption.

•Sheet
Isoi products have sheet masks that lack adhesion. With this type of material, it would be better to just use the essence from the same line and pat it in for absorption. Even when Isoi masks are on sale, they cost around 3,000 won per sheet, and I wish the company had invested more in improving the sheet's adhesion. The sheet keeps coming off. (photo)
I thought it might be because I was sitting up to take the photo, so I tried lying down and re-adhering the sheet, but it still came off.

•Ingredients
The product contains soothing ingredients (centella, panthenol, allantoin) and is gentle on the skin. After using the mask, there is no irritation, redness, or discomfort. Since Isoi takes pride in its ingredients, I trusted the product and purchased it. The product has a concentrated ampoule-like texture with a greenish tint, which makes me think it must contain centella.

•Effects
Even without refrigerating, the product feels cooling on the skin and seems to soothe it. After removing the mask, the remaining essence absorbs well without feeling heavy or evaporating too quickly, providing just the right amount of hydration. The finish is moderately dewy. It's like a mask version of the Isoi centella essence.

👎The price is higher than expected.

👎I'm not sure if the soothing effect is really great. My skin didn't turn over.

👍The contents are very abundant, so you can also apply it to your body.

👍The slightly thick gauze does not dry out easily.

👍There are no abnormal skin reactions, and it is fine.

If I had an important schedule, I would always put this pack in the refrigerator. Taking it out and using it after cleansing helped even more in reducing the heat of the acne.

But along with other Cicago lines, two allergen-inducing ingredients have been added... I'm really disappointed. As a sensitive skin person, both of these ingredients are expected to be irritating. As someone who only trusted Isoi, this is quite troublesome. If the person in charge sees this, please re-formulate the ingredients and bring back the non-harmful Cicago.

*Based on the pre-renewal usage criteria, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Usage period: ~2021
Skin type: Ultra-sensitive+dry+acne+blackheads

I always have Isoi on hand and use it, so the timing of the renewal and my usage may be different. Based on the design, it seems I only used the pre-renewal product. (I may have used the renewed product a few times, but I'm not sure. Since there was no strong impression, it's likely I didn't.)

I used Cicago's skincare and also frequently used their mask pack.
The acne-soothing effect was amazing. The day after using this pack, the heat and pain of the acne were reduced by 80-90%. That's how much I trusted and used this product. The moisturizing power was also good, so I didn't need additional care after using the pack.

If you find it absorbs well but is too sticky, try washing it off with water.

The essence has a thicker consistency than expected.
I would recommend it to those who have tried it and liked it. First-time users may find it a bit sticky.

It's great for the skin and I didn't get any pimples.
The essence was sufficient.

It would be good to test this out first before buying the Chicago ampoule.

1. The most important soothing function was below expectations.
2. There is a sticky residue left after removing it.

1. The essence is generous.
2. The mask pack shape envelops the face without any gaps.

Honestly, there's nothing disappointing about it! The mask thickness is just right, the ingredients are good, and it's one of the mask packs without any flaws among the ones I've tried..

An essential item when traveling. The soothing power that instantly calms down rough, parched skin!! Different temperatures, humidity, water, sunlight, etc. When your skin is overwhelmed by the surrounding changes, the Cica pack is right there to soothe, moisturize, and make blemishes disappear..

It's a good idea to use a toner to cleanse your skin and then apply it.

The price is too evil, which is a downside 😢 It's a product you have to stock up on when it's on sale!!

I've used the Isoi pack a lot and it seems to be good for troubled skin!

If you use the Isoi app, you can sometimes find coupons, and they have a 'one-plus' event once or twice a year, so be sure to check it out!

The cost of cosmetics can be quite significant, so I had to wait for this great mask to go on sale before I could purchase it.

I've been using Isoi products for over a decade. First of all, I have very sensitive skin and have had contact allergies, so I've always been very careful with my skincare routine. Even suncare and cushion products would often irritate my skin for days. But after using the Isoi Sensitive line for a long time, my skin has become incredibly comfortable. One day, I received a few samples of the Cica Mask, and since the Cica Ampoule didn't work well for me, I gave two to a friend and had two left in the fridge. So I just decided to try them out. Wow - the Cica Ampoule is clearly the main component, but there's zero irritation, and it's so hydrating that my skin stays dewy even until bedtime. It's more like a skin-nourishing essence than a typical cosmetic product. I highly recommend this to anyone with very sensitive, dehydrated skin.

After using the mask, I also applied the leftover essence to my neck, and used the remaining essence-soaked cotton pads to further soothe the skin around my face - a frugal and efficient way to make the most of the product!

- Isoi products are more expensive compared to other masks.
  The high price is disappointing, considering there are no additional functional benefits like whitening or wrinkle improvement, even though the formulas contain good quality botanical extracts. The amount of these beneficial ingredients is also quite small, making the high price rather unsatisfactory.

[Deducted 1 star due to the high price]

I purchased the Isoi products at a discounted price during their 9th anniversary sale, taking advantage of the 1+1 offer.
 
- After using the products, the redness and irritation I had from previous acne extractions were remarkably soothed and calmed by the next morning.

- This 'bandage mask', as it is called, is unlike other regular sheet masks as the sheet does not dry out even after 15-20 minutes, maintaining its moisturizing properties.

- There is an abundance of essence left over after using the mask.
