It's a must-have in your makeup pouch. It has excellent soothing properties for redness and blemishes! I've only heard of Burt's Bees Ointment, but I didn't know it was this good ㅠ I don't really get acne, but when I get blemishes and they get irritated and inflamed, if I apply a thin layer on the affected area and go to sleep, it's clear by the next day. The lavender scent is also pleasing to me. There's a stick form like a lip balm, but the tin case is more cost-effective per volume.
ConsThe tin case is more cost-effective per volume, but the inconvenience of having to use a spatula is a downside.
TipThose who want a more convenient application should opt for the stick form.

Personally, I really enjoy this kind of earthy, herbal fragrance, but it may be a matter of personal preference. 🍃Texture: It comes in a balm form that is meant to be applied by rubbing it with your fingers. When it's quite firm and cold, it doesn't spread as easily on the skin. This could feel a bit inconvenient, but I actually preferred the thin, spreadable texture it has once warmed up. It has a strong oily feel rather than a creamy or moisturizing one, which could make it a bit greasy, but the thin application helps mitigate this. 🍃Usage: I used this product as a spot treatment on my lips, around my nose, and on any blemishes that were starting to appear. For my lips, which I tend to pick at, it felt more like it was creating a protective barrier rather than rapidly replenishing the skin. So I think it would be more suitable for those with simple dryness rather than those with chronic peeling or cracking. Around my nose, where I often get flaky skin and white residue from frequent nose-blowing, it was very helpful in soothing and calming that area. As a spot treatment, I'll need to use it more to see the full effects, but so far it's been quite useful.
ConsOne disappointing aspect is that the packaging is in a jar form rather than a stick. This jar format is not as hygienic, as it's more prone to collecting dust and impurities compared to a stick applicator. I think a stick format would have been more convenient for application as well. So the packaging choice is a bit of a letdown in my opinion.

You need to melt it with the warmth of your hands before using. 🍃Fragrance As soon as you open it, a strong centella (cica) scent hits you. The fragrance may be polarizing, but I personally love it. It gives a refreshing feeling. 🍃Effectiveness I applied it thinly on insect bites and areas that were itching for no reason, and the swelling subsided and the itchiness was significantly reduced. The effects were better with a smaller amount compared to other ointments or medications!! 🍃Packaging It's lightweight and easy to carry, so you can bring it along for outdoor activities (camping, picnics) and use it conveniently. 🍃Price Burt's Bees has been consistently producing this product for years, and the ingredients seem trustworthy. Considering the price, I think it's reasonable. And since you melt it to use, it seems to last longer than expected!
Cons🍃Transfer The green color... transfers completely onto white shirts, bedding, etc... There are also some opinions that it slightly stains the skin, but since I have a darker skin tone, I didn't really notice that. 🍃Effectiveness on Blemishes Applying it on pimples/blemishes didn't seem to have much effect. It seems better suited for insect bites, atopic dermatitis, or rashes.
TipApplying it thinly and frequently seems to be more effective:)

Since it has a firm texture, it applies thinly when using your hands, which was nice for areas like the nails.
Cons-Ingredients As someone with extremely sensitive skin, I was unable to use it on my face. -Texture While it's good for applying to areas like the nails, for moisturizing or applying to the lips, it didn't melt well with just the heat of the hands. If you want to use it more thickly, I'd recommend scooping it out and applying it that way! I did use it well on hangnails.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI tend to have dry and taut skin under my eyes and on my cheekbones. I tried this product because applying eye creams feels stuffy and oils feel burdensome. I was honestly skeptical about whether it would be effective, but the tightness has significantly decreased and it doesn't feel stuffy anymore, so I'm happy with it. I can apply it frequently without it feeling heavy or greasy on the skin. The thin, non-sticky texture is great. It has a herbal, grassy scent that some may not like, but I personally enjoy it. I've also been applying it to my neck wrinkles before bed, and it doesn't feel sticky or uncomfortable, so I plan to keep using it on my under-eye area and neck wrinkles whenever I have the chance. It has definitely been effective in relieving the itchiness caused by dryness. I would apply it when my forehead felt irritated from peeling, and it helped soothe the itchiness.
ConsThe product description was lacking, so I had to search online and try it out myself. When considering the price and product performance, it feels a bit ambiguous. The short usage period may be the reason for this. I'll revise the review after using it for a longer time.
TipWhile it's good for relieving itchiness, it lacks moisturizing power, so mixing it with a cream works really well. Applying a small amount to dry, itchy areas of the face is beneficial.

The lightweight formula allows for easy, burden-free reapplication, which I really appreciated. #Soothing I went to a hot spring resort and after briefly going outside, I came back to find my legs quite swollen and itchy from mosquito bites. I immediately thought of the Rescue Ointment Cica that I always carry in my pouch, and applied it. While tending to my child, the itchiness and swelling subsided quickly. You can scoop out the Rescue Balm using a spatula, but even a small amount seems to react effectively on the skin. It's quite impressive. #Ingredients The strong herbal, medicinal scent that is characteristic of cica products may be polarizing, but I feel it actually helps increase my trust in the ingredients. My child has been struggling with unexplained allergies, and I've been gradually replacing the harsh steroid ointment prescribed by the doctor with the Rescue Balm whenever the itching occurs. Knowing the ingredients are safe for use on children 6 months and up gives me additional peace of mind, and based on my experience, I believe this is a trustworthy product.
ConsI'm not entirely sure yet, but if I had to point out anything, it would be that the tin case can get dented when subjected to impact, and that dust can accumulate when opening and closing it.

Moisturizing Power During seasonal changes, my cheeks become dry and rough, but the oily finish makes the overall look greasy, so I don't use it. When I apply it like an ointment, it gets absorbed completely, which is great. The roughness has also significantly diminished. My lips get chapped all year round, but carrying it with me and applying it continuously helps to prevent peeling, and they feel more comfortable. 2. Spreadability It's a bit stiff, so I have to rub it with my fingers to melt it before applying, which allows me to spread it thinly. Since it doesn't clump, the amount I use adjusts naturally, and the spreadability improves. I tried scooping it out with a spoon to apply more, but it's just an oil clump. It doesn't scoop out easily, so I guess the solid form is meant for using only a small amount, like oil. 3. Absorption I'm the type whose lips develop thick peeling all year round, so I'm always using lip balms. I've tried countless lip balms, and this one spreads more thinly than Burt's Bees, so it absorbs really quickly, but I have to reapply more often. On my cheeks, it sits like a coating, so during the day, I have to rub it in well to absorb it, to prevent a disastrous mix with sunscreen greasiness. At night, I want to apply it generously before bed, but having to melt it and reapply multiple times is inconvenient. In the morning, there's no trace left as it's fully absorbed. 4. Soothing Function My lips were really chapped, but the scabs disappeared quickly, and new skin grew, so it seems to have a soothing function. Moisturizing lip balms alone take days to heal cracked wounds, but this healed in just a day, unbelievably. My lip area also became thicker. My boyfriend got bitten by some bug, and the swollen, itchy spot went down overnight after I applied a thick layer before bed. 5. Fragrance The fragrance from this skincare product is very strong. I personally like it, but those sensitive to scents may not.
ConsThe tin case is a bit hard to open at first, but it gets easier with use. The formula is too solid.
TipRubbing the product between two fingers and applying it to the face and other areas, then rubbing it in again, helps improve absorption and prevent clumping.

I applied the Cicabomb only thinly to the areas that needed soothing in the last step! ✨Usage Experience It doesn't feel like Vaseline, but more like a thin, oily application! So my skin didn't feel stuffy, and there was no greasy feeling. However, since it's a balm, the moisture was zero! So I had to really fortify my moisture base for it to be effective! I applied it thinly to the areas on my forehead and cheeks that needed soothing. It was moisturizing and had a good soothing effect! ✨Fragrance A slight herbal scent...?+Tiger Balm-esque, but I personally like the fragrance, though it may be divisive! ✨Side Note.... I slathered this on my lips thickly and ohhh boy, my lips stung!ㅋㅋㅋㅋ No matter how much I wiped it off, my lips felt numb... I hope no one else experiences this... Lips and thin skin areas are a definite no-no.
ConsIt would be great if there was a spatula! Using my fingers to rub it in feels slightly unhygienic.
TipAnd if you mix it with aloe vera and massage it onto bruised areas, the bruises will fade faster and hurt less!!ㅎㅎ

It definitely has a soothing effect when applied to dry areas. 2. It spreads thinly without clumping, with no white cast or greasy residue, and provides excellent moisturization.
Cons1. When using it for the first time, it's hard to tell if you've applied it properly... (this could also be a positive) You can't scoop out the product like Vaseline or tiger balm, but instead need to warm it up with your body temperature before applying.
TipIt's lightweight and convenient to carry around!

The next day, my skin feels smooth and refined. Lately, my biggest concern has been the recurring acne, but this product helps make those blemishes disappear, albeit temporarily. It's amazing to see such effects from a cosmetic product! The Sos Calming Balm lives up to its name. In my opinion, it's absolutely fantastic, and I will definitely repurchase it.
ConsOpening the lid is just so, so difficult... 🥺 Whether it's a can, a jar, or some other type, the packaging is really tough to open. The texture is quite sticky. It would probably be challenging to apply this under makeup. I wish there was a spatula included... I end up having to dig it out with my fingernails.
