It doesn't irritate even when my skin is sensitive. The scent reminds me of a bathhouse or forest, which feels healing. Being a lightweight essence-type, it's perfect for summer use.
ConsI was hoping for a soothing effect, but I couldn't really feel it on my skin, which is disappointing. The absorption could be better compared to how well it spreads. It feels slightly slippery (though this can be balanced with a cream, so it's a minor issue). While the packaging is innovative, I wish there was an opening indicator. Without a cap, I was initially confused about how to dispense the product.

Texture It's not too runny, but not completely watery either. It has a nice consistency that spreads well even with a small amount. Personally, I'm in love with the scent. They've clearly put effort into the fragrance, as there's a separate description on the box. It's a comforting scent that makes me feel relaxed every time I use it - like being in a peaceful forest. Effectiveness It deeply hydrates and makes my skin feel incredibly comfortable! While it may not be as moisturizing as an emulsion or cream, I think it's quite good at maintaining hydration. Rather than directly soothing blemishes, I felt it helped speed up healing after extractions. It seems to be a gentle product that doesn't cause deep dryness or trigger breakouts.
ConsAbsorption It's not a major issue, but despite its thin consistency, it doesn't absorb very quickly, possibly due to its moisturizing properties. There's a slightly slippery and sticky feeling before it fully absorbs, so you need to allow ample time before the next step to avoid pilling. Packaging There's a small, precious cap, which I didn't realize was the only closure. I threw it away immediately after opening, and there's no separate lid or locking mechanism when you turn it the other way. It's a bit disappointing that the nozzle is always open. Don't throw away the cap like I did! Considering its full price is quite high, they could improve the packaging to make it feel more luxurious.
TipWould I repurchase? Yes! I recommend this for those with deep dryness. The pump dispenses a small amount, but applying multiple thin layers is more effective. In the morning, I only needed to apply toner, two layers of this Cica-aroma ampoule, and a moisturizing sunscreen to avoid any tightness. I'll probably need to add a cream from September, but so far, the ampoule alone has been sufficient in the heat. In the evening, the ampoule alone wasn't enough, so I finished with a light cream. In winter, I think using it with a slightly richer cream would prevent any deep dryness.
