Essentially, it's solidified plant-based oil, so it melts smoothly on the skin like coconut oil. 1. Personally, the usage feel is similar to Houttuynia cordata oil - they're both plant-based oils and don't leave a very sticky finish. However, being able to scoop out just the right amount makes the subtle dosage control much easier with Nutcerin than the liquid Houttuynia cordata. Applying it on the body is more convenient with Houttuynia cordata oil. Both allow good dosage control, and after applying and waking up, the face feels refreshed in a similar way. 2. Compared to Vaseline, it's much less sticky and leaves less of a lingering feel. The sheen is inevitable due to the oil, but it has a natural look. Using Nutcerin on the face feels less burdensome.
ConsIt is a bit of a hassle to use just the right amount, but the jar type is probably necessary for hygiene reasons. Unlike the affordable Vaseline that can be used from head to toe without worry, using Nutcerin feels a bit... burdensome to just slather on. And it's small, so I don't see it as a full-fledged upgrade to Vaseline, but more of a relative of Houttuynia cordata oil that I'm using sparingly where needed... I don't feel it's significantly better than the plant-based Houttuynia cordata oil in terms of performance, usage feel, or price, so I'm not sure if I'll repurchase.
TipMelt about half a bean-sized amount with your fingers and mix it with a light gel cream or lotion to apply. Since it's a blend of various plant-based oils, those with allergies should check the ingredients carefully.

I accidentally wrote a review for a different calming balm earlier ^^;; I knew a famous model uses this, so I thought it would be a good opportunity. When I looked at other reviews, it seemed similar to Baxirin, so I was hesitant to buy it, but it's not as sticky as I expected. It feels like a multi-balm, and the cica makes it most similar to tiger balm. These days, with the changing seasons, I've been getting pimples on my chin and forehead, but applying this has helped them subside a bit. It's also moisturizing. After my skincare routine, I've been applying this thinly on the areas I want to soothe. The formula isn't overly sticky, and the balm texture is great for applying all over. I've also used it on my elbows and heels, and it worked well. And surprisingly, the amount is quite generous, so I think it will last me a long time. As for the cooling effect, it's not extremely strong, so if you have sensitive skin and found cica products too cooling, this might be a good alternative to try.
ConsThe price is a bit disappointing. I can't help but compare it to Baxirin, and the cost-effectiveness doesn't quite measure up. If it were a little cheaper, I probably would have bought it. Also, since it's a product you apply with your hands, a spatula would have been nice to have. Dipping in repeatedly can lead to cross-contamination, and it's a bit of a hassle to wipe your hands and reapply.

It melts quickly with body heat. I thought it might feel a bit heavy, but once applied, it doesn't feel oily, nor does it feel heavily moisturized. It's somewhere in the middle of moisture and oil. After washing my face, it didn't make my skin look flushed, which was good. It has a tea tree-like scent. It's also convenient to carry around, and for those with dry skin, a smaller version would be great to have on hand.
ConsThere's no spoon-like tool (and the container is a bit cramped), so it's a bit iffy in terms of hygiene, but if you're the only one using it, it shouldn't be a problem. I thought it would have a cooling effect, but honestly, I didn't feel any cooling when I applied it. Instead, it had a slight warming sensation, like those cooling patches or ointments. But the sensation didn't last long. I didn't experience any breakouts or issues, and my skin felt smooth the next day when I washed my face, so it wasn't bad overall.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI have a 'dry + very dry + sensitive + #21' skin type, and I would like to honestly share my experience using the Nutcerin Cica Nut Calming Balm, which I won through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program. - As my skin is extremely sensitive and severely dehydrated (regardless of my face or body), I would often use petroleum jelly from other brands to alleviate the dryness. However, the Nutcerin Cica Nut Calming Balm had a lighter texture, yet it still managed to effectively address the dryness. - Compared to petroleum jelly, the balm had a lighter feel when applied, and it was less sticky, which I enjoyed. However, there was still a slight stickiness, so I found it more suitable for nighttime use rather than daytime. Particularly, it felt a bit heavy to use before makeup, and it would sometimes interfere with the application. - When I used petroleum jelly, I would occasionally experience breakouts, but I haven't had any such issues since using the Nutcerin Cica Nut Calming Balm, possibly due to the cica ingredients. I applied it to my troubled areas, hoping for an immediate soothing effect, but I didn't notice any significant immediate calming. - Overall, I felt that it was a fairly decent product.
Cons- While the texture is lighter and less sticky compared to petroleum jelly, there is still some stickiness left, causing my hair to stick to my skin and attracting dust, which is quite inconvenient for my daily activities. It would be more suitable for use before bedtime or for special care at home. - The lack of a spatula is disappointing, as I have to use a cotton swab or a spatula separately to apply it hygienically. - As a vegan product, the price-to-volume ratio seems a bit high, which is a downside. - The natural-friendly scent (?) might be divisive. (It's similar to the smell of the solid-type ointment I bought in Hong Kong.) - It may not be suitable for use during the oily summer months.
Tip- When applied to areas with fine lines, such as the eye corners and nasolabial folds, the product seems to provide both moisture and oil, so I may not need to use a separate anti-wrinkle cream.

The Nutserin Cicabam contains 99.9% naturally derived plant-based ingredients and its own proprietary ESN ingredient, helping to soothe sensitive skin, reduce skin irritation, and protect the skin barrier. After using it consistently, the best part was that it improved exfoliation and moisturization, and significantly reduced skin redness and heat. The moisturizing and radiant effect also helped with makeup application. It's a multi-balm that can be used on various body parts, and the ingredients and fragrance are gentle and pleasant.
Cons✔️ Disadvantages: As it is a balm-type product, proper amount control is essential. Due to the product packaging, it is recommended to use a cotton swab or spatula instead of your hands for hygiene purposes.
Tip✔️ Tips: In addition to the face, it can be used on dry and cracked hands and feet to reduce scaling and add radiance. For men after shaving and women after waxing, when the skin is red and irritated, first apply a moisturizing product and then use the Cicabam for a soothing effect.

But in reality, just a small amount is enough to keep the skin moisturized for a long time without having to reapply. It seems like this product can last a very long time! Some may think it could feel heavy or stuffy, especially as summer approaches, but it actually has a refreshing and cooling sensation, so it can be used well even in the summer.
ConsThere was no spatula, which was a bit disappointing in terms of hygiene.
Tip- I use this as a sleeping pack after my skincare routine, applying a thin layer. The next day, my makeup goes on smoothly and my skin feels smooth, so it works well as a pack.👍🏻 - I apply it to the cuticle area of my nails with a cotton swab, and it helps tidy them up nicely. I prefer using this balm instead of an oil.👍🏻

The texture is similar to Vaseline, but it's less oily and greasy. Since I've only been using it for a short time, the product maintains a firm state and melts just enough to apply when needed. The scent is a refreshing mint and menthol blend, but it doesn't feel irritating or harsh when applied. My cheeks are quite sensitive, and my skin barrier is often compromised, so I've been applying a thin layer of Nutriderm before bed, and I haven't experienced any irritation or breakouts! I've been using it for a week, and I feel like the redness has subsided, though the visible changes aren't drastic (which is good news for sensitive skin!)
ConsThe scent may be polarizing for some, and since it's a balm, a hygienic way of using it may be necessary.
TipThis product is not heavily moisturizing, so it's best used to soothe irritated areas rather than for general hydration.

It is suitable for applying a final oil coating after applying the entire skincare routine and absorbing it.
ConsPersonally, I didn't feel a calming effect on my skin. The jar-type packaging raises hygiene concerns. (I wish a tube type was available.)
TipI recommend this product as a vaseline alternative for dry skin types! Compared to products like Popcream and Genetic Skin that contain vaseline, this has much better spreadability and less stickiness. Applying it partially before makeup can also create a nice dewy effect after the full skincare routine.

I used to use the green Burt's Bees balm, and the scent is similar. 🌿 Texture The texture is very firm. Much firmer than Vaseline! You'll need to gently melt it with your finger's warmth or scoop it out with a spatula to use it. 🌿 Effects I'm someone who always needs lip balm, even in the summer. Regular lip balms don't seem to work for me, so I've been using aloe balms. This product can be used all over, and it's said to be moisturizing, so I tried it on my lips, but I didn't really feel any effects on my lips 🥲 I actually felt that the calming effect was better than the moisturizing effect! To see the calming effect, I popped some cystic acne and applied the Cica Calming Balm. The first photo is right after I popped the pimple and applied the Cica Balm. The second photo is taken a day later, and the redness has significantly subsided even without reapplying the Calming Balm! The pain was also completely gone. At this rate, the blemish will likely disappear without a trace in a few days. The calming effect seems amazing 👍
ConsI wish it had an integrated spatula. Using my fingers is inconvenient with the deep jar format and doesn't seem very hygienic.

This time, I'm so happy that the renewed Cicabomb is available as a promotion. I used to use it even after water activities in the summer, but now I apply it to my face and body after working out and showering. My skin is dry, itchy, and sensitive, and while I'm not sure if it feels as moisturizing as lotion or essence, the cica ingredients definitely have a soothing effect. When I traveled to hot countries, I would apply it all over my body at night. It would calm the irritation and reduce the itchiness caused by sweat and sun exposure. Even the reddened skin would be soothed. The only downside before was that it felt a bit thick to spread all over the body, but the renewed product seems to have improved in application. It melts better from the start and applies more smoothly.
ConsThere are times when I'm doubtful whether the packaging is truly airtight. Of course, the contents don't leak or change color from air exposure, but it's still concerning that bacteria could potentially grow with exposure to air.
TipI find it most convenient to scoop out a small amount with the tip of my clean fingernail and apply it. And by gently melting it between my palms and pressing it into my face, it absorbs without any irritation.
