ConsAfter some time, there's a slight feeling of tightness. It might be better to apply this after your regular skincare routine.

It's more soft and fluffy than bouncy... Anyway, I think I prefer this to other cushion puffs. - It's great for light makeup when used with sunscreen. - It seems to set well on the skin?
Cons- It feels like it sets immediately while drying out the skin. I have combination dehydrated skin that tends to dry easily, and this is its biggest drawback. - The coverage is a bit disappointing. - They claim it's good for acne-prone skin, but I'm not sure about its effectiveness... - Even though I'm using No. 2 Vanilla, it's a bit too light for me who usually wears shade 21.
TipIt seems like you need to have a solid skincare base before applying this for the best results.

I've been minimizing my skincare routine, so I only use toner, eye cream, and essence (sometimes an ampoule in the evening). On busy days, I just apply sunscreen, shape my eyebrows, and add a touch of color to my lips. I don't wear much makeup usually. When I received the package, the box really caught my eye. It had an innovative design that didn't require tape for sealing, which is great for recycling! I was impressed by this eco-friendly approach. The paper cushioning inside was also commendable. The product design is clean and cute. I loved the mint green color, which is one of my favorites. I experienced no irritation, and the fragrance is so subtle it's almost unscented, so it should suit most people. It even provides decent coverage for my large, dark freckles. The finish is completely oil-free and leaves my skin feeling powdery soft.
ConsWhen I first tried it on skin that only had sunscreen applied, it immediately started to pill. No matter how much I patted it in, it wouldn't adhere. I tried misting my face and reapplying, but it still didn't work. On another day, I applied a more thorough skincare routine before trying again, but it still looked dry and patchy. I've tried various methods, but nothing seems to work. It clings around my nose, accentuates whiteheads, and leaves my skin looking dry - it's a total disaster. I even tried changing the puff, which was slightly better than the original, but the overall skin appearance remained similar. My usual cushion has a moisturizing formula with ampoule, so maybe that's why this one feels so different. It just sits on top of my skin, making it look dry and emphasizing fine lines. I don't think I can use this product.
TipI would recommend this to people who prefer a matte finish or those with oily skin.

Recommended for those who prefer a matte complexion ✓ No noticeable irritation or blemishes after use on sensitive skin ✓ Medium to high coverage. This matte-finish cushion provides good coverage ✓ Ideal shade for #21 skin tones with redness, effectively neutralizes red undertones I was lucky enough to win this in an event and thoroughly tested it. Overall, it seems like a cushion that could work well for most people. After looking into it, the price point is reasonable too, so I'll likely purchase it for personal use. Although there were some drawbacks like dryness during the transitional season when I tested it, I think it would be even more satisfying to use in summer!
ConsDue to the changing seasons, it somewhat emphasized dead skin cells and felt a bit drying. I'd recommend this more for oily skin types rather than dry skin.

Skin type: Combination dehydrated skin, oily T-zone, sensitive + blemish-prone skin -> Despite having both oily and dry areas, I haven't found a truly satisfying cushion until now 2. Cushion exterior and design As 'cica' is in the product name, the light mint-colored case is pretty, and the size is perfect for carrying around. It's a sturdy hard case with a clean, simple overall design that people might ask about when you take it out! I can't carry overly flashy cushions no matter how effective they are... The air cushion inside is teardrop-shaped, so the pointed top is great for applying makeup to detailed areas like around the nostrils or under the eyes! 3. Ingredient analysis As I have extremely sensitive, blemish-prone skin, products that clog pores or apply too thickly always cause inflammation... So I was really excited that this cushion passed tests for suitability for sensitive and acne-prone skin! Personally, titanium dioxide works well for me, and it's one of the first ingredients, which is great. It also contains the ever-popular 'centella' ingredient. For sensitive, blemish-prone skin like mine, we can't use just any cushion product... In that respect, the Blanc Nature cushion's ingredients are spot on! Oh, and it's SPF50+ PA+++, which is awesome!! 4. Application feel For acne-prone skin, oil and moisture balance is crucial. High-coverage cushions I've used before were too greasy, so I always ended up giving up on them. In contrast, the Blanc Nature Cica Cushion has the perfect balance - it's super powdery but not completely matte!! Of course, now that it's winter, if I don't prep my skin properly, it can look a bit dry around the mouth, but I prefer that to being too oily... Just apply some multi-balm on any dry patches and you're good to go! The rest of my skin doesn't get too oily, and even after wearing it for a long time, my skin doesn't hurt or itch. In short, it's the perfect cushion for oily, acne-prone skin! 5. Color I usually use shade 21, so I thought No.2 Vanilla would be perfect, but it's actually a bit lighter than expected. However, it doesn't look unnaturally pale and quickly blends with my natural complexion. I've been using greyish BB creams with good coverage, so this seemed brighter, but people around me said my skin looked better! If you're shade 21 like me but want a brighter look, go for No.2! 6. Overall review (+coverage) Cushions are super convenient, but I usually use them for touch-ups rather than as a base. This cushion, though, is light enough to use as a base and go! My only complaint is that I'll use it up too quickly... I have redness all over my face, so I apply this cushion thinly and then use concealer in specific areas. I don't usually expect cushions to provide coverage, but I'd say this product's basic coverage is 'medium-high' or better! It's powdery yet moisturizing, perfect for this transitional season, and I think it'll work well year-round. Though I'm still a cushion nomad, if I don't change my mind by the time I finish this Blanc Nature Cica Cushion, I might finally settle down with it!
ConsWhile the ingredients are great, those with dry skin might find it noticeably drying! If you have dry skin and want to try it, I recommend using it in summer.
TipFor skin with a lot to cover, try applying stick concealer first, let it dry, then apply the cushion on top for better results!

The adherence seems good as it doesn't transfer much.
ConsI've never felt particularly dry before, but after applying this and letting some time pass, my skin feels dry... It looks flaky. When I first used it just before the weather turned cold, it was fine, but as it got cooler, this issue appeared. It might be better to use in summer. Also, it seems to apply a bit thick.

The cushion foundation had an excellent smooth application, and I loved how it gave a semi-matte finish, typical of a cover cushion. It really made my skin look fantastic!
ConsWhile it applied smoothly initially, it tended to settle into a white cast around blemishes and pill up. As time passed, it seemed to lose moisture, making my face feel a bit drier and emphasizing the sebum on my nose.
TipI've attached photos showing: right after application -> close-up of nose right after application -> 8 hours later. Immediately after applying, it did a pretty good job covering blemishes and acne scars without concealer. On the nose, it seemed to sink into the pores, but up close you could see tiny white dots. After 8 hours, the blemishes and acne scars became more noticeable.

The puff is nicely firm and the overall user experience is quite satisfying. It has a semi-matte texture, but it doesn't feel heavy or cakey, so touch-ups are clean and easy. Ingredient-wise, with only two cautionary components, I'd say it ranks above average for cushions!
ConsAs someone with extremely dry skin, I didn't quite get that 'matte on the outside, hydrated on the inside' feeling that others describe. Instead, I experienced some deep dryness. Those who prefer more hydration might want to steer clear.
TipFor the best skin finish, don't apply it all at once. Instead, build it up slowly, layering small amounts onto your skin!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis cushion has a matte finish that leaves your skin feeling velvety smooth. There's no need for additional powder as it doesn't get greasy or sticky at all. I can use shade 21 for a brighter look, while 22 or 23 match my natural complexion. It brightens subtly without looking unnatural. The pore coverage was satisfactory, and it did a comparatively better job at concealing red marks from past blemishes than other cushions. It's easy to build coverage without pilling or sliding off, even with multiple applications. Despite being matte, it barely accentuates dead skin cells around my nose, which tends to flake - I was really impressed with that. The foundation adheres exceptionally well to the skin, allowing for quick and easy base application. After 6-7 hours, it may lose some of its brightening effect, but the pore coverage remains intact.
ConsIt does make the skin feel a bit... dry. There's a slight drying sensation, but it doesn't make your skin look flaky or powdery.
TipI apply it by first evenly distributing the product on the puff by rubbing it on the inner cover, then gently patting a small amount onto my skin. This method provides sufficient coverage. If needed, you can layer more on areas that require extra coverage - it builds up well. When applied thinly like this, even if it feels a bit dry, it doesn't settle into or crack along fine lines.
