Pros
When using the device, it felt good to have a light, non-moisturizing texture.
Cons
The fragrance was quite poor. It had a grassy scent that was somewhat unpleasant, so it would have been better to add some fragrance.

Pros
I tend to have easily flushed and irritated skin, even with minor heat sensitivity. That's why soothing gel + sheet masks (toner packs) are essential for me. I've used Yada's cactus gel, my holy grail, for over 8 tubes, but I wanted to try something different. Aromatica seemed to be the most popular, so I ordered it. As for the famous aloe gel, I have an allergy to aloe, so I went with the cica gel instead. The texture was similar to the Yada soothing gel - a regular, thin gel consistency. It definitely doesn't provide enough moisture on its own, and you'll need to layer other products to prevent dryness. Even for oily skin types, this might not be enough. The most important aspect, the soothing effect, was about average. Mixing it with other products or layering creams and makeup didn't cause any issues.
Cons
The scent... it really wasn't my preference. An artificial powdery fragrance?? I'm a heavy user of soothing gels, so I wanted something with a longer-lasting, stronger fragrance, but this was just too much. The scent could definitely be omitted. And the price point is a bit higher than my holy grail Yada soothing gel. I'll be satisfied with just trying it once. Despite the cica ingredients, the soothing effect was so-so.
Tip
Interested individuals can purchase it during Hwahae or Olive Young sales to get it at a much lower price.

Pros
First of all, the cost-effectiveness is good and the ingredients are simple. It doesn't provide much moisture, but I bought it because it's easy to lower the skin temperature when the skin temperature rises in the summer or when the skin flushes due to temperature differences in the winter. It's also good to mix it with a mud pack to use it moisturized, and to mix it with other ampoules, apply it thickly, and then put a toner pad on top, the soothing effect is excellent, so it's good to use in various ways! Actually, before buying the Cica gel, I bought the aloe vera gel that has the most purchases and the most discounts, but for some reason the aloe gel irritated my skin, so my other family members used it. So this time I bought the Cica, but it also contains aloe, but luckily the content is not high, so there is no irritation.
Cons
There are a few drawbacks or inconveniences that I didn't feel when using the aloe gel. 1. The smell is not good. When you go to a flower shop, there is a slightly pungent herbal scent that is quite strong. Since the smell is disliked, my hand doesn't reach for it easily. 2. If you apply it thickly, it becomes a white powder when it dries. When I applied it thinly, it didn't happen, but when I applied it thickly for cooling purposes or reapplied it several times, a white powder formed on my face and dried up.
Tip
As mentioned in the pros, it's good to mix it with a mud pack to use it moisturized, and to mix it with other ampoules, apply it thickly, and then put a toner pad on top, the soothing effect is excellent, so it's good to use in various ways! You can mix it with a cream to increase the moisture content or apply it thinly several times as a cooling agent, but... if you keep covering it, it will become powdery white, so only use it when you're at home.

Pros
The best thing was that when I put it in the refrigerator and used it, the cooling effect seemed to work really well. The price was also reasonable, and when I used it before doing a modeling pack, the cooling effect was amazing.
Cons
Well, I have sensitive skin and after applying this, my skin got irritated, so I couldn't use it much. I only use it occasionally when doing a modeling pack. The scent is a bit strong for my liking.
Tip
1. Must use with modeling packs 2. Putting it in the fridge is a game-changer

Pros
It has minimal stickiness, so the finish is refreshing. The pumping format makes it easy to use. The transparent container makes it easy to see the contents and keep it clean. It's good for soothing the skin and effective against redness and blemishes (when aloe doesn't work, the one with centella components was more effective).
Cons
I don't like the smell ㅜㅜ It has a slightly pungent smell from being crushed? I have some hesitation using it on my face because of the fragrance when applying it to my baby. It's too drying for solo use on dry skin.
Tip
It has less stickiness than regular aloe gel, so it was nice to use as a massage gel. Finishing with an oil makes it feel bouncy and smooth.

Pros
The moisturizing power is naturally good, and the large volume makes it possible to use it without burden.
Cons
There's nothing particularly bad, but if I had to pick something, the scent was a bit strong at first, so that was a bit of an issue.

Pros
Ideal soothing gel for sensitive, troubled skin. Used after waxing to soothe and moisturize, it provides long-lasting hydration without stickiness, allowing comfortable application. Since it's not overly heavy, I plan to continue using it on the waxed areas. I avoid applying the gel to my face, as I know it can be drying.
Cons
The scent is a bit off. It has a musty, almost rotten floral aroma.
