I suffered from contact dermatitis, so I felt a lot of stinging sensations. I heard that it's good for acne scars, but since my skin barrier was weakened, I didn't see any effects ㅠㅠ

As with any other ampoule, it was nicely moisturizing. However, it wasn't particularly special.

나이아신 시카 흔적 세럼

I can't seem to feel the traces fading away, it just feels like a moisturizing serum.

Moisture is great - it has no oiliness, good spreadability, and excellent absorption.

There were no particular disappointments.
The best thing is when Cellmax has a lot of sales on their official website, so it's great to shop during the sales.

Skin type: Combination skin + Sensitive (oily T-zone, dry U-zone)

Texture: A fluid texture that flows like water but has a slight viscosity

Pros: Extremely gentle and fragrance-free, so even people with sensitive skin can use it comfortably. There were no breakouts after using the product, and it calmed down quickly. While it doesn't have an incredible effect on blemishes, you can see them fading with consistent use.

Recommendation: Recommended for sensitive people and those who want a calming effect on their skin troubles.

Author's holy grail combination: Any toner pad + Mediheal Tea Tree Ampoule + Cellmax Cica Blemish Serum + Onion Gel Cream

The famous Hwahae eraser pads and soothing cream seem to work well together! I'm currently using the soothing cream, and it's really great.. The pads, I'll finish using the ones I have and then switch back to Cellmax. Haha

There are still no unsatisfactory points, but the amount is less than expected.... It seems like it will be used up quickly. ㅠ

The Hwahae Testers have been wandering around looking for a serum, and so far, there's nothing on my skin!!! That's the most important point for me. I'm sensitive and prone to breakouts, so I can't use just anything, but this doesn't cause any breakouts... And since it's a water-based formula, it absorbs lightly, so I think I'll be able to use it well even in the upcoming summer.

When on sale, purchase... Buy together with the remaining samples.

The Cicaserum was quick to calm, so there were no downsides to using it, although the price was a bit high.

Extremely moisturizing and without any stickiness, it's lightweight yet absorbs quickly.

While I don't have any complaints about the product itself, the packaging was a bit disappointing. It was difficult to use up the entire contents to the very bottom, so to speak...

One of the products I've been using consistently, and it's really great.
It replenishes moisture well, doesn't feel sticky, and above all, it makes any traces practically disappear!!

There were no particular disappointments. I'm using it well.

Skin type: oily, combination, troubled / summer mute, 21 shade
Product review:
- This is a product that calms troubles and cares for redness while applying refreshingly! It's good enough to be a repurchase item!
- If you apply it consistently, it calms well and the formula is not heavy, so it goes well with other products~

It seems to work better in the summer than in the winter, as it has a tendency to dry out the skin too quickly.

I used to only use the Hwahae ampoule, but I also tried the Cica serum, which has a more watery texture. After washing my face in the morning, I applied it right away, followed by a moisturizer. It felt light and nice.😄

I apply this after using a beauty device like the Refa or Air Shot. It really enhances the synergy when you apply it after treating your pores.

There are no downsides. It's become my holy grail product. I'm so grateful! For those with combination dehydrated skin like mine, you absolutely must try this. There's nothing to complain about.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I tried this because I heard niacinamide helps control sebum and reduces oiliness. It's really true! Before, after my night care routine, I'd wake up with an oily T-zone, especially around my nose. Now, there's almost no oil on my T-zone, and just a tiny bit around my nose. Even this improvement is amazing, and I think I'll use this product forever. It even fades acne scars and blemish marks!

There were hardly any downsides to mention! It's truly an excellent product, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

The absorption is incredibly good, and it applies so smoothly. I bought two bottles, and I've almost finished the second one after using up the first. When applied, it makes my skin feel firm and hydrated. I highly recommend it!
