Here and there, this product has been highly recommended, so I was a bit skeptical, but I purchased both the cream and balm and have been using them. This product is really amazing! My face is quite sensitive, so even good cosmetics can sometimes irritate me and I can't use them, but this one has no irritation at all. It's so moisturizing too. It's not sticky at all, it's like a moisturizing cream and a soothing balm all in one - it's perfect for everyday use. And it pairs well with any other cosmetics I use, making them even better. There are dozens of products out there, but I find myself constantly reaching for this one. It's truly an amazing product. Some creams and balms can be a bit heavy and greasy, but this one doesn't have any issues like that, so I've been using it day and night. I think the reason I keep going back to this is that it provides great moisture without any irritation, stickiness, or strong scents. I highly recommend it! Even if you're not sure what specific ingredients are good, this product is just plain good - you'll find yourself missing it if you don't have it.
Cons
I don't really feel any disappointment, so it seems this will likely become a steady, go-to product that I continue using consistently~!!!
Tip
The cream and chestnut have a high versatility without any sharp edges, so there are too many tips! When I have some time, I'll rewrite my own honey tips~!!

The products I'm currently using seem to work well together and have pretty good moisturizing power. Whenever winter comes, I've tried various products because of the internal dryness, but the combination I'm using now seems to be the best. There's also less dryness from the office heater.
Cons
The product has a lot of oil content, making it unsuitable for use in the summer. It should be used exclusively for winter.
Tip
I apply The Lab by Blandew and hyaluronic acid deep toner as a basic routine twice. I apply Eclado Activation Cream (moisturizing cream) twice. I'm currently using the product once a day. Among the products I've tried before for winter, this one is the best. Even though my skin is sensitive and prone to allergies, I haven't experienced any issues.

💚Provides long-lasting moisture from deep within the skin! 💚No stickiness and excellent absorption! 💚No stuffiness, oiliness, or excess sebum! 💚Helps soothe redness! 💚Refines skin texture and softens the skin! 💚Strengthens the skin barrier! 💚Applies well under makeup base! It provides abundant nourishment to the skin, yet the face feels light as a feather‼️ What's that stuffiness?🤔 How can it provide such lightweight yet nourishing moisture and skin barrier care...♥︎ Most importantly, it effectively calms redness‼️ Using this product, my skin has become incredibly soft and smooth🥰 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 1️⃣What are the texture and application like?❓️ 💚It contains centella extract, tea tree leaf extract, madecassoside, and ceramide NP. The formula feels like a balm, and at first it seems a bit heavy, but as soon as you start massaging it, it absorbs quickly and lightly into the skin, leaving it intensely moisturized and supple, without any oiliness. Yet, it doesn't feel heavy at all‼️ 2️⃣What are the effects?❓️ 💚As shown in the 2nd and 3rd photos‼️ It effectively calms redness and blemishes, and particularly in the 2nd photo, you can clearly see how it has strengthened the skin barrier💗 3️⃣At what step do you typically use this product?❓️ 💚I use this product in various ways‼️ 1. After cleansing ➡️ Maum Factory Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule ➡️ Haruna Cicaide Balm 2. After cleansing ➡️ Dear, Klairs Blue Drop ➡️ Innisfree Retinol Cica Spot Ampoule ➡️ Haruna Cicaide Balm 💚For makeup, I first use a pad to refine my skin texture, then apply the Cicaide Balm immediately before my makeup base.😘✨️The Haruna Cicaide Balm is an all-in-one basic product, so it's really great to use on its own❗️ You don't feel any dryness, you know❗️ So when I'm feeling lazy, I just use this one to take care of everything🙄 4️⃣Is it okay to use this product together with other spot care products?❓️ 💚Yes, it's possible❗️I usually apply the Cicaide Balm all over my face, and then mix the Cicaide Balm with the Numberz In No.1 Pantothenic Acid Active Up Dressing Powder, and apply it to the reddish or blemished areas once more🥰 💚Ah❗️The combination of panthenol and the Haruna Cicaide Balm is also absolutely amazing as a treatment cream🫶 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Cons
The only downside was that it had a slight medicinal scent, but it didn't bother me too much.
Tip
🦋 TIP🦋 👉Particularly dry or discolored areas, and sensitive localized areas can be intensively spot-treated by applying a generous amount. You can apply it like an ointment to that specific area for concentrated care.🫶 It doesn't feel heavy or oily when applied in multiple layers.😘 👉It's also great to apply it on extremely dry areas like elbows.😘

I've been using this for over 3 years, and it's great for my combination skin! It's hydrating, has a nice glide, and is fragrance-free, which I really like.
Cons
It may feel a bit heavy, so it might be too heavy for oily skin types.

It's great for hydration and really helps with inner dryness, so I've been using it very usefully.
Cons
For oily skin, it feels a bit oily, but not too much, just a little bit...

The calming effect is excellent, and it's so gentle that when applied thickly to the skin after flipping it, the calming effect is incredibly soothing, and the skin texture looks great! I love it so much that I bought it again 😊 And it doesn't smear before makeup, and the skin expression looks absolutely beautiful.
Cons
There really wasn't anything disappointing!! It suits my skin very well.
Tip
If you apply a vitamin ampoule and then this product thickly, you can use the vitamin ampoule without any irritation!

The lack of fragrance was great, and the packaging was neat as well. As a dry skin type, when I apply it properly as a base, it seems to immediately address the dryness.
Cons
I purchased it because it was said to be gentle and good to use before makeup, but on the first day, my skin looked extremely shiny right after applying it, and then from the next day, I started breaking out in pimples, and I'm still struggling with it. It might be fine for those who are not sensitive.

This works really well for my highly sensitive skin. I haven't been getting many breakouts since using this.
Cons
When my contact dermatitis was severe, this product also stung. After my condition improved, it was fine to use.

I really like the night type, it's not too shiny and it's nice and firm!
Cons
There's really nothing disappointing about it, it's not dry and it seems good.

Hmm, it seems there's not much to say. If I had to pick something, maybe the fragrance-free aspect?...ㅜㅜ
Cons
I guess this type of formulation just doesn't work for me ㅜ. It was completely drying, like a night-time product, but I felt like it was just suffocating my skin, making it hard to breathe. I usually like products with a bit of an oily, smooth feel since I have dry skin, but this one just absorbed everything and clogged my pores, making them feel really tight. It was okay for the first day or two, but by the third day, I started breaking out all over my forehead and cheeks ㅜㅜㅜ. It was so frustrating ㅜㅜ. Looking at the reviews, I see I'm not the only one who had this experience. Even though I usually do well with shea butter, this just didn't work for me at all ㅜㅜ.
Tip
I'm definitely going to avoid this type of night cream formulation from now on ㅜㅜ.
