Cons❌️ The price is too high I'm not sure it's worth this much 50ml is in the low 30,000 won range/shipping not included 100ml is in the high 50,000 won range I was a bit shocked to see the 50ml 1+1 deal exceeding 60,000 won ❌️ It's drying Even though we're not in an extremely dry season The cheek area feels quite parched Not recommended for those with dry skin, thin skin, or deep dryness It might be more suitable for oily skin types to use in summer +Update Now that the hot June weather has arrived, it still stings and dries out my skin 🚫Not recommended
TipFor those with combination dehydrated skin or super sensitive skin, this product might not provide enough hydration. It's important to layer your skincare properly to maintain the oil and moisture balance. If you experience any burning sensation or tingling, discontinue use as it may indicate an allergic reaction. Remember, what works for one person's complexion might not work for another, so always patch test new products, especially if you're prone to blemishes or redness.

It helps solidify small blemishes, making them easier to extract. I found it works well when used in small amounts with a barrier cream after hydrating in the previous skincare step.
ConsIt can be irritating if your skin barrier is weak. It causes a warming sensation and dries out the skin, so it doesn't seem to help with barrier repair. When used alone, it lacks moisturizing power, leading to deep dryness. I recommend using a hydrating serum with it.

It applies smoothly, provides great hydration, and absorbs lightly into the skin. My 50-year-old mom and 20-year-old son with acne are both using it, and we're already on our second bottle. It gives a sense of healthy skin regeneration!
ConsIt doesn't quite tackle deep dryness. I still feel tightness when I wake up and in the afternoon. I suppose that's because it's not primarily a hydrating cream.

I first came across this cream through an Instagram ad. At first, I thought it might be clickbait, you know? Like those posts that compile useful information and promote products as if it's a personal recommendation. I ignored it then, but later I saw it listed as a top repurchase item on Naver's year-end roundup. Intrigued, I clicked on it. When I entered the store, the number of reviews was staggering - not just a few thousand. Feeling there must be something to it, I read the detailed description. The presence of sulfur convinced me this was the real deal! It reminded me of 15 years ago when my mother's facial skin flared up. After much searching, we found a monk who processed sulfur. The emulsion made with that sulfur, which I heard contained aloe and sulfur, completely cleared her skin. I hadn't used it myself as I didn't have skin issues, but when a huge blemish appeared right in the center of my cheek, I decided to try this cream. It truly seems to be a regenerating cream. After the blemish fully developed, I extracted it with a cotton swab, applied a spot patch, and diligently applied the cream to my face. It seemed to heal faster than usual - not just subsiding, but truly regenerating quickly. The blood pooling where I had extracted it and the surrounding redness subsided quickly. It's noticeably different - you can feel the difference in just a day. For reference, I'm in my mid-30s. While it may not be very effective for pigmentation as I mentioned in the cons, it does help with managing blemishes that have come to a head or are just emerging. By tackling these, you end up with less pigmentation, so you worry less about whitening. Anyway, it fulfills its role as a regenerating cream. I wholeheartedly recommend it! Now, this cream and the Chard Ampoule (one of my few reviewed products) are all I use. These two products are just really good, truly.
ConsIt's slightly sticky, perhaps due to the aloe, but this feeling dissipates quickly. Because of the stickiness, I don't apply it before makeup. Instead, I use it before bed or morning and evening on weekends when I'm not wearing makeup. It doesn't seem to have much effect on old blemish marks or pigmentation. It's also not particularly effective at addressing deep dryness.
TipJust as we're told to wash our hands for over 30 seconds to eliminate bacteria, it's even more important for your face. For great skin, cleansing is crucial (if you have skin issues, try a 60-second cleanse with a neutral cleanser). Apply an appropriate amount of this cream before bed. Remember, moderation is key. I use a single-ingredient toner, like Centella asiatica extract or Camellia extract, to balance my skin before applying ampoule or essence, followed by cream (it's winter after all). This routine can help you achieve beautiful skin. I truly understand the pain of skin flare-ups. I sincerely hope everyone can achieve gorgeous skin!

I've tried other famous cica products, but none of them work as quickly or effectively as this one. Having finished an entire tube, I've really gotten a feel for both its strengths and weaknesses. 🔸Skin type: Combination dehydrated skin, hormonal acne 🔸Current situation: Haven't been to a dermatologist, but my chin area is severely irritated due to mask-wearing (suspected folliculitis) 🔸Application routine: Exfoliating toner pack - Yuja Niacin Cream - Done I was really worried about going to a dermatologist (I've heard from many people that it actually made their skin worse), but this product has been a huge help. Although my chin area isn't completely healed yet due to continued mask-wearing, it's gradually improving thanks to this little gem. Of course, everyone's skin is different and results may vary, but for me, this product is truly a godsend. 📌 Pros ✔️ Immediate results ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ : Noticeably calms skin overnight Really reduces inflammation. I mean, REALLY reduces it Even diminishes small bumps. Amazing texture improvement Reduces size of red, hard blemishes without letting them come to a head ✔️ Smooth application The effectiveness truly outweighs all the cons I'll mention below.
Cons📌 Cons ✔️Strong scent that's hit or miss : It was fine for me! I personally hate shea butter and coconut scents, but this isn't like that - it's closer to unscented. ✔️ Pilling issues : Pills if you apply too much. Always pills. Pills even if you don't apply quickly. Pills as it dries. ✔️Dryness : Even with my combination dehydrated skin, I sometimes felt dryness on my cheeks. My sister, who has slightly dry skin (with redness concerns on her cheeks), said it felt too tight and she couldn't use it alone. ✔️Small amount for the price : I used it up in a month because I tend to apply multiple layers. Despite these drawbacks, the effectiveness makes you overlook them...
Tip🔸 Apply a thin layer, pat it in, then press firmly with your palms to aid absorption 🔸 Don't apply too much in the morning! It pills.. I apply two thin layers under my mask since I don't wear makeup there! 🔸 At work, whenever I have a moment, I wipe my chin with cleansing water and apply this cream. It helps keep my chin less irritated. 🔸 Night routine: Exfoliating toner pack -> Cream (thin layer, pat and press) -> Cream (repeat) -> Cream pack (very thick layer, like a mask) Of course, it pills in the morning, but that's not an issue since I'll be cleansing anyway

It evens skin tone and makes skin feel softer! - It gives a beautiful glow right after applying
Cons- Although it's a gel, as someone who absolutely avoids sticky products, I found it a bit tacky. Some might say it makes skin feel firmer, but to me it just felt sticky - It feels like it creates a film on the skin. It's a bit suffocating - It's drying despite the stickiness. It's too sticky to apply a second thin layer, but even with two layers, while the surface feels moisturized and glowy, it doesn't seem to address deep dryness (I have combination skin, but it's dry in winter) - I bought it hoping it would help with contact dermatitis and soothe my skin, but it doesn't calm my skin at all. Instead of feeling comfortable, my skin feels suffocated, like wearing a rubber sheet mask. Worse, my skin condition deteriorated after use, with small bumps appearing. I suspect it might be clogging my pores... - I usually only wear a thin layer of brightening moisturizer, but with this cream, I don't think I could apply any makeup at all. I tried applying a thin layer of the cream, which gave a nice glow, then put on brightening moisturizer, but it pilled immediately... Makeup pills terribly with this
TipIt makes my skin feel soft, so despite the high price, I use it as a hand cream. Honestly, it feels like a waste of money
