The scent was not irritating either and I liked it. There were also no additional breakouts, so I was satisfied! If I use it a little more, the breakouts have subsided more than expected.
ConsHowever, as time goes by, it becomes too stiff, or you could say it feels like it's fixed on the face. Aside from that, everything was good!

I usually don't use ampoules often and just use toner and cream after cleansing, without many other basic skincare products. But for this past week, I only used the ampoule! The texture is very watery and lightweight, so it's easy to apply and absorbs well. One full dropper is just the right amount to cover my entire face. I usually easily get blemishes due to various conditions (lack of sleep, that time of the month, eating a lot of instant food), and those blemishes would appear and then go away in a few days with just a patch. But during the time I used this ampoule, I didn't get as many blemishes on my cheeks. The ones I had started clearing up around the 4th day of using the ampoule! I think the centella ingredients worked well with my skin. The scent is kind of herbal or woody, which I personally like, but it might be divisive for some. I received this as a trial reviewer, so I just wanted to evaluate it, and I don't usually use ampoules, but it turned out to be such a great match for my skin. I'm so satisfied with it that I want to repurchase it!
ConsThere's really nothing that I disliked about it, since it worked so well for me. If I had to nitpick, maybe the scent could be divisive for some. I'm not sure if it's just me, but the product seemed to thicken or clump up around the opening and cap area, almost like it dried up. I had to wipe that off a couple times. That's the only thing that bothered me a little. You can't really see it in the photos, but that dried up product is around the cap area in the last photo.
TipI found that if I split the amount from the dropper and apply it in layers, patting it on, it gives a more glowing, bouncy effect. And using it before makeup also seems to help it absorb better. I've been getting a lot of compliments on my skin lately!

Although I've only been using it for a little over a week, so far I've noticed that: ✅ As the name suggests, the Cica Ampoule is very soothing! ✅ It's gentle! I have sensitive skin, but so far there hasn't been any irritation, and I've been using it without any issues.
Cons✅ When you apply it, there is a faint floral scent that gradually turns into a slight ammonia-like smell. The fragrance may be divisive for some. ✅ You need to be careful when closing and opening the lid, as there is a lot of residue buildup around the cap. ✅ It has a somewhat sticky texture, about 4 out of 5 in terms of stickiness.
TipI usually use it before bed when my skin needs soothing and hydration. My routine is: Mist > Ampoule > Lotion > Cream On lazy days, I just do: Toner Pad > Ampoule > Cream, and it still keeps my skin from feeling dry and calms it down.

When I first received the product, it came so beautifully! They sent me cute stickers and a pretty card too! ✨Texture The texture is like flowing water! It's a transparent brown color! ✨Fragrance The fragrance has a slightly artificial grassy scent and a hint of herbal medicine smell. But it's not an irritating fragrance, which I liked! It also has a scent that makes me feel like it's going to be good for my skin~ ✨Hydration I have an oily skin type, but I'm one of the lucky ones whose face doesn't get extremely dry even in the winter. So after applying the toner, I found that this product absorbs quickly all over my face and leaves minimal stickiness. Since I have acne-prone skin, sticky and thick textures tend to stay on my face for a long time, attracting a lot of dust and causing my oil to come up quickly, making it difficult to use. But this ampoule-like product absorbs quickly and the hydration lingers well on my skin. ✨Usage I applied this product all over my face right after cleansing. And for the areas with severe acne, I layered it on a bit more to help soothe them better. Then I covered my face with the thin cotton I used for cleansing to help the absorption. ✨Effects I haven't used it for a long time yet, so I haven't seen major changes. But I noticed that the bumpy acne lesions were more soothed in the morning after using this at night. Of course, after going about my daily life and coming back home, the mask irritation would cause the breakouts to flare up again. But if I keep up the routine I mentioned above, I think my skin will improve a lot.
Cons😟Fragrance When I first apply it, there's a grassy scent, but after it dries, there's a slight musty smell...
TipI applied this product all over my face right after cleansing, and for the areas with severe acne, I layered it on a bit more to help soothe them better. Then I covered my face with the thin cotton I used for cleansing to help the absorption!! This way, my skin is left adequately hydrated and not overly oily or dry the next morning.

My skin is delicate and any breakouts on my chin take a long time to heal and always leave scars, even if I don't pick at them. But after applying the ampoule the night I received the product and again the next morning, the pimple matured and I was able to extract it that same evening! I was really surprised...😳💓 On the day I extracted it, I used Madecasol instead of the product, and started using the ampoule again the next day (for about 3-4 days) - photos available! ☑️Hydration and Functionality⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a dry-skinned person, I always follow a hydrating toner-ampoule-cream routine. Since my skin is sensitive, I use gentle products without any special functions (e.g. anti-aging). So when I want calming or anti-aging effects, I rely on the ampoule to provide those benefits. Luckily, this ampoule contains both calming and anti-aging (adenosine) ingredients, which was perfect for me. The ampoule has a runny consistency, but it actually has a bouncy, cushiony texture when applied. It worked great for my dry skin, but those with oily skin may find it a bit heavy when layering with other products. If using the ampoule alone without a cream, it should provide sufficient hydration for dry skin types like mine! For dry-skinned folks, using it with a toner and cream will leave your skin looking as dewy as after a facial!❤️ ☑️Fragrance⭐️⭐️⭐️ The fragrance is like a subtle herbal/aromatic scent. It's a natural, pleasant aroma! The scent is strong at first but dissipates quickly.
ConsIf the ampoule dries up, it becomes jelly-like and can get stuck around the opening... (Like when a tint dries up and makes a mess around the opening)

Skin Type: Combination (T-zone is oily, the rest is normal+sensitive) I have somewhat sensitive skin, but it's not overly oily. 2. Spreadability: It has a slightly tacky spreadability when first applied, but it absorbs well and leaves a thin, non-greasy layer. 3. Moisture: It has a watery, runny consistency, which is a good application density after toning. 4. Color and Fragrance: It has a woody scent that is calming, especially when applied before bedtime. The color also has a natural, woody tone.
Cons1. Moisture: After application, there is a slightly drying sensation. It's recommended to use an additional moisturizing product after the serum. 2. Anti-aging and Brightening Effects: The product's key benefits of wrinkle improvement and brightening were not very noticeable within the short trial period.
TipAfter cleansing, apply the serum all over the face, then lightly pat on some toner again for an extra hydrating effect!

First of all, I got a perfect 100 score for the packaging!! As soon as I received it, I felt like I got a really pretty gift~~^^ It's a perfect 100 for my taste~~^^ And as you can see when you open it, it's a product that tries to practice zero waste, considering the environment, so it's another perfect 100~~!!!!^^ haha 💛 Trouble The most important thing is whether there's any trouble~~!! It contains ingredients that are sensitive to my skin, so I was worried, but after using it for a week, a pimple or two popped up on my chin, but it doesn't seem to be because of the product, so you can use it without worry~^^ 💛 Fragrance The fragrance seems to be quite polarizing, but it has a herbal scent~ Personally, it's not too stimulating and I liked it~^^ 💛 Packaging I liked that I could use it neatly with the dropper, and the lid closed smoothly without much effort, good~~!! 💛 Spreadability Not too hard, not too light, just right~~!! Good~~!!haha 💛 Moisturizing power After applying, I felt it dries up quickly, which is a bit disappointing, but still, it's good~~!! 💛 Texture Not too watery, not too thick, just right~~^^ hahaha 💛 Skin tone This is the best!!!! Natural glow on the skin!!! It has a radiant shine, and personally, I really, really like it~~~^^^!!!!! haha
Cons🔶️ As I mentioned above, there's a bit of a disappointment in the moisture. After applying, I feel it dries up quickly, but since I'm not just using this, I can use a lotion or cream as well~~^^ But it doesn't feel like the moisture is bad, so it's okay~^^
TipIt would be good to apply it one more time, and please have lots of sales events~~!!! I want to stock up~~^^^^haha

It also helps with fading blemishes and discoloration. As someone with acne-prone, porous skin, I'm glad to see that it doesn't contain any pore-clogging or irritating ingredients. I'm really impressed that it's packed with all these beneficial active ingredients! Even though I usually get breakouts when my pores get blocked, this product doesn't seem to cause that issue, so I'm using it with full confidence. The texture is a bit thick and creamy, almost like an ampoule. The packaging is also really pretty, which made me excited to open it! I think this would make a great gift for friends as well. The eco-friendly packaging also gives the brand a nice, thoughtful feel.
ConsThe ampoule-like texture dries down quite quickly after application, so you'll need to follow up with a hydrating moisturizer right away.
TipGiven the thicker, heavier texture, it might be better to use this product at night rather than under makeup, as the texture could feel a bit too heavy for daytime use.
