When it gets dry, you can use a lot. It's perfect for oily skin! Even if you use a sticky ampoule, this cream makes it non-sticky.
ConsI don't have it at all! I'm using it too well.

In hot weather, this product is easily absorbed and has a soothing effect, so it would be great to use in the summer when my skin easily becomes red or feels hot. The texture is similar to a mix of aloe vera soothing gel and a regular cream - it looks a bit watery but is not actually runny, and it applies smoothly without any stickiness or greasiness, absorbing quickly. Despite my sensitive skin, I did not experience any breakouts. I like the tube packaging, which makes it convenient to carry and use on the go.
ConsI prefer creams that leave a plump, deeply moisturized feel on my skin after application, but this one, while moisturizing on the surface, doesn't seem to penetrate deeply or provide long-lasting hydration. I feel a bit of dryness and oiliness. The size and packaging are fine, but the twist-cap style, while preventing spills if dropped, is a bit inconvenient to open and close repeatedly.
TipStoring this in the fridge and using it chilled could enhance the soothing benefits, especially when dealing with heat-related irritation or breakouts. I also tried applying it to the back of my hand after doing dishes, and it helped calm the irritation and redness there quickly, absorbing without any stickiness. So while it's great for the face, this product could be useful for soothing sensitivity on other areas of the body as well.

It has the feel of adding a drop of cream to aloe vera gel. The texture has a slightly gritty (?) quality. If regular lotions and creams are like soft ice cream, this product is more like a sorbet in comparison. When applied, it feels refreshing and spreads easily on the skin without any stickiness. It also adheres well to the skin. The aloe vera gel has no oiliness, so there is a slightly tightening sensation when applied, but this product has a bit of oil content, so it works well as a substitute for lotion.
ConsNormally, I only use the Physiogel lotion. (As you can see from my previous reviews, the more products I layered like toners and creams, the more my skin would break out and even start oozing. After being prescribed to just use the lotion by a dermatologist, I've been using Physiogel lotion alone for years without any trouble.) Even though I have combination skin, the lack of oil in this product caused breakouts for me. After using this product, small pimples started popping up on my skin. There was also a slight tightening sensation. I suspected this product was the culprit, so I went back to using the products I was using before, and the small pimples disappeared. For those of you who use multiple basic skincare products, this might work well for you.

But this one didn't feel sticky at all, and it didn't cause any breakouts. The small-particle Tetrazole technology really made it absorb quickly.
Cons👎🏼 Insufficient moisturizing power I have combination skin with acne, and I felt this product didn't provide enough moisture when I used it alone. It might be too drying for people with dry skin. The calming and cooling effects they mentioned weren't very noticeable when I applied it.
TipSince this cream alone doesn't provide enough moisture, it would be better to apply an ampoule before using it. The large volume size is reasonably priced, so this Cica cream could be worth trying out.

First of all, I thought it was perfect for a summer cream as it has a light application and no stickiness. And even if I only use an amount the size of a bean, I can spread it across my entire face and have a little left over to apply on the back of my hand, so I think it will last a long time. And I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence, but I was recently working in front of oil and was about to get some pimples, but they subsided within two days after I started using this. So while the calming effect is not definite, I felt it was a gentle cream. My husband doesn't like sticky textures, so he only uses lotion, but he's going to start using this together with me.
ConsWhile it's not overly drying, the lightweight formula does sometimes leave a slightly dry feeling.
TipAs it finishes with a powdery feel, if you need more moisture, it would be fine to layer it several times.

Even a little oiliness or slow absorption can immediately lead to acne breakouts. The formula is a translucent, moisture-rich cream texture. It could also be described as having a slightly jelly-like feel. I don't usually like these types of formulas as they don't absorb well and take a long time to absorb (which then leads to acne flare-ups), but when I patted it in thoroughly, it absorbed completely without any stickiness or oiliness. Even though I currently have a lot of blemishes and acne, it hasn't made the situation worse. The tube packaging helps prevent air exposure better than a jar, which I was satisfied with. I would define this as a cream that is good for oily skin to use in the summer.
ConsEven for my oily skin, I felt some dryness, so I would not recommend this to those with dry skin.
TipSince the absorption is a bit slow, it's best to apply it in thin layers and pat it in well to help it absorb.

Even until a few days ago, my facial skin was red and swollen, so anything I applied would irritate it, but this cream did not sting, hurt, or irritate at all when I applied it. It also provides great moisture. I especially dislike sticky finishes, so I don't use anything that feels sticky, but this cream absorbs well, so after a while, it feels soft and airy. Surprisingly, even though it feels soft, there's a sense of moisture inside, and my skin doesn't feel tight! It's somehow firm and plump. Dry-skinned people may need to add a drop or two of oil, but I can cover it with my own facial oil. And even if my forehead's moisture balance is a little off, causing my skin to get oily and greasy, applying this cream prevents that oily look and feeling, even when I raise my eyebrows. Honestly, when I try other cosmetics and my skin gets irritated, I get so frustrated. But this one didn't hurt my already sensitive (from other products) skin and fits my skin perfectly, so I think I'll buy it at its price. In the past, I suffered greatly from atopic dermatitis, and it was hard to find something gentle and suitable, but I feel like I've found a gem, so I'm so happy about it.
ConsIt's inconvenient to open and close. You have to twist the lid all the way to open it.
TipIt would be great to keep it in the refrigerator and apply it as a rapid calming cream when your skin becomes irritated, red, and sensitive!

I used to be trapped in a vicious cycle - if I didn't moisturize well, I'd get constant breakouts due to excess oil. But when I tried moisturizing products, they would make my skin feel greasy and lead to more breakouts. However, this product has been a game-changer. It's formulated with soothing and fast-absorbing ingredients, leaving my skin feeling soft, supple, and not at all sticky or heavy. Even on my oily T-zone, the sebum production has decreased significantly, and I no longer have that uncomfortable tight feeling. While individual experiences may vary, I think this would be an excellent choice for those with sweaty, oily skin, even in the hot summer months. Those with normal to dry skin could also use this, perhaps adding an extra serum during the winter.
ConsThe tube packaging is good, but the twist-open cap can be a bit inconvenient to open with slippery hands during a skincare routine.
Tip🤯 Routine for Acne-Prone, Oily Combination Skin: The Lab by Blanc Deux Hyaluronic Acid Toner - Trouble Serum or Moisture Serum - Apieu Cica Madecassoside Cream ☀ In the morning, use Cica Toner (skip the serum) and then the Apieu Cream. This is light enough to layer sunscreen on top without feeling heavy. 🌔 In the evening, do a cleansing routine, then apply the serum followed by the Apieu Cream. Even with a fan blowing on my face at night, my skin stays comfortable and not overly oily in the morning!
