While it's not exactly lightweight for a soothing cream, the texture falls somewhere between moist and rich. Despite this, it spreads easily and smoothly on the skin. The scent is close to fragrance-free, but I personally detect a very subtle hint of mugwort. This might vary from person to person. As someone with combination dehydrated and sensitive skin, I can apply it generously without it feeling sticky or greasy. It leaves a fresh feeling on the skin. It's particularly good for calming purposes when your skin is irritated from heat exposure or acne breakouts. I'd recommend it for transitional seasons to early summer, as it might be a bit dry for harsh winter use. (Remember, you still need to apply moisturizer well during seasonal changes to avoid dryness.)
Cons- May be too dry for use in the depths of winter - On the pricier side (recommend stocking up during sales)

It's absolutely amazing. There's no excess oil, but it's rich and repairing, which makes my skin look fantastic.
ConsThere are no downsides. It's simply legendary - my holy grail. Oh, but it's a bit pricey when it's not on sale.

Once, after using a different cream that caused my skin to react badly, I applied this for about 3 evenings in a row. It helped calm the redness and prevented my blemishes from getting worse, actually making them subside ✨ The texture is quite rich, and it has a distinct scent, but I didn't mind it! I definitely recommend it.
ConsIt's a bit expensive for daily use, and when I used it continuously, it seemed like the effects diminished, perhaps because it was too nourishing(?). It's best used as a soothing treatment when you're dealing with blemishes!

I think it's truly the original, timeless cica cream. I believe I used this product about 10 years ago when I was a student. Back then, I heard it was good for skin barrier and regeneration, and I used it without knowing much. Now, I definitely feel that using a cica cream is much better when my skin gets completely upset. It has a thick texture with a slightly greenish tint. I thought it might apply too heavily, but when you actually use it, it adheres perfectly to the skin and finishes with a soft, blurred effect. Perhaps because of this, I don't particularly feel any richness or hydration. I recommend it for super sensitive skin that's prone to irritation. It helped me a lot this winter when my skin became sensitive.
ConsThe tube makes it really difficult to control the amount... Sometimes too much product comes out all at once, and other times it's hard to squeeze any out at all.
TipFor those who hate it when hair products stick to their face after applying skincare and drying their hair! Just apply this cica cream as the final step! It feels like it coats your face completely, so it's much less sticky. Even if you apply it thickly on your face, you won't feel that heavy or greasy sensation.

I was expecting more of a balm-type product, but while it's not quite that, it does create a rich moisturizing barrier as soon as you apply it. To be honest, the hydration longevity wasn't entirely satisfactory in winter. However, I've been consistently doing MTS treatments, and when I apply this cream right after, it seems to speed up the repair process overnight. Still, the lasting moisture is a bit questionable. On days when I feel I absolutely need this for its repair effects, I layer it like this: First, I apply any toner, then the COSRX serum works great. After that, I use a functional ampoule with high moisture content. For hydrating ampoules, there are plenty of good options these days - the Baek A Yeon one is nice, or the basic ampoule from Hwahae's hydrating line. Torriden is good too. Anyway, you can be generous with hydrating products at this stage. I layer them, applying once, letting it absorb, then applying again. (This is for winter use. You'll need to reduce amounts significantly in summer. Everything I'm describing here is based on winter skincare.) Next, I use either the JHP purple bottle (I think it's called 'Wrinkle Repair') or the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella something-or-other. These are super moisturizing ampoules. Personally, I'd recommend JHP for extremely dry skin. After all the hydration and moisturizing steps are complete, as the absolute final step, I apply this cream.
ConsHowever, the hydration... or should I say hydration longevity, doesn't seem that great. Compared to Isoi's Bulgarian Rose, my face feels much more parched and cracked. At first, it feels really moisturizing, but it seems to dry out quickly... When used alone, especially in winter, my skin gets really dry. Interestingly, the Shy Shy Shy Toning Booster actually provides longer-lasting hydration. I was trying to avoid using it too often because of its citric acid content, but with this dryness, I don't have much choice. Rather than using this cream alone, it's better to layer it as the final step after applying other hydrating products in your routine, as I mentioned above. This cream is less about deep hydration and more about repair and finishing effects. I'm not sure about other seasons, but for winter, it's a bit lacking when used on its own.

It moisturizes deeply and applies smoothly. There's a slight herbal scent, but it dissipates as you apply it. It's non-irritating and great for soothing the skin, so I use it consistently throughout all seasons. I've repurchased it at least three times during Olive Young sales.
ConsThe price is a bit steep, and it runs out quickly. The volume seems a bit small.
TipIf you gift this to a friend with super sensitive skin for their birthday, they'll be incredibly grateful.

When I used it on my face with a bit of redness, it calmed down quickly, making me feel like it was incredibly effective. I think it would be great for those who need urgent skin soothing or for people with severe dryness to use occasionally.
ConsThe price point feels a bit high when it's not on sale. I find it difficult to recommend for daily use to those with combination dehydrated skin or oily skin types. Even with just a small amount, it felt like it produced a lot of oil, possibly due to its high nutrient content.

The texture is quite thick, like toothpaste, but it doesn't feel heavy when applied. Since my skin is currently in a sensitive state, there's a slight tingling sensation, but it feels soothing after application. When my skin is dry, it's a bit challenging to use this alone, so I applied about two layers of this and topped it with a panthenol ointment. So far, I've been using it without any discomfort. + 3 weeks later... I had to stop using it after an allergic reaction. I was using the entire Cicapair line, but when I applied it to the back of my hand and neck, I immediately broke out in hives. How did I not notice this for weeks? Those with super sensitive skin, please be careful!
ConsThe price and quantity are disappointing. I wish they would make a larger size available.

ConsWhile its thick consistency is perfect for winter, it might feel heavy and not absorb as well in summer
