I'm almost hesitant to share how effective it is for blemishes and acne, as it might sound too good to be true. I used to rely heavily on acne ointments and patches. After using a product that claimed to boost skin regeneration, my skin actually worsened significantly. However, heeding advice that over-application can be harmful, I scaled back to just this toner and emulsion as my basic routine. Surprisingly, my skin calmed down within a week. • For oily skin: As typical with toners, it can feel a bit drying after application. This seems unique to this product, and as someone who dislikes stickiness, I'm extremely satisfied. • Application: It has a concentrated, flowing texture. Despite drying quickly, it feels moisturizing upon initial application. • For sensitive, blemish-prone skin: When my skin severely reacted to incompatible cosmetics, using this product for about a week noticeably calmed it down and prevented further acne or blemishes from appearing.
ConsIt quickly makes the skin feel tight after application. (I've heard others say it feels like the skin is being pulled.) It's hard to recommend for those with dry skin. Even with my combination dehydrated skin, using this product alone was too drying, so I had to layer on emulsion or other hydrating products twice. It contains powder, so you need to shake it before use. If it spills, it dries white, requiring frequent cleaning.
TipPlease, please trust me and try this routine! You can truly revive your troubled skin in just a week. - Suitable for combination dehydrated, sensitive, blemish-prone, and oily skin 1. After cleansing, first apply a very light, water-like toner. (I used Angel Aqua Toner, which is the most refreshing and gentle for me.) 2. When the first layer of toner is slightly dry, immediately apply a spot serum containing tea tree. (I used Daiso Tea Tree Spot Serum.) Apply any other acne treatments at this time as well. 3. Then, use the Barrier Derm Cica Toner. (Apply generously to troubled areas) 4. Once the second layer of toner has dried, apply at least two layers of emulsion! (If using a highly moisturizing product, one layer may suffice. Ensure your face doesn't feel dry.) Just doing this can restore your skin within a week. Please give it a try!

I got two 50ml samples when I bought the cica cream during the Olive Young sale, and I think that's plenty without needing to buy the full-size product. I highly recommend the cica toner + cica cream combo for those with combination dehydrated skin!
ConsIt tends to solidify easily, so it kept hardening at the opening. I got tired of constantly having to close it, so I ended up transferring it to a smaller container for use.
TipThe instructions suggest using it as a soothing mask by soaking cotton pads, but I wouldn't really recommend that. The Uriage Xémose toner is thinner and works much better as a soothing mask and for smoothing skin texture.

But this one, despite being thin, has a viscous texture with some body to it. It seems to absorb well when applied, and surprisingly, when I used this followed by an emulsion on my dry skin, there was absolutely no flaking or dead skin cells visible. It was quite impressive!
ConsBecause of its viscous nature, it tends to accumulate around the pores. You need to keep wiping it off, otherwise it solidifies and clumps together.
TipWhen used as a base before makeup, it keeps your skin hydrated all day long.
