Pros
The Tokobbo Shika Calming Gel Cream is moisturizing and non-irritating. I usually get itchy or my skin turns red if a product doesn't agree with my skin, but that's not the case with this one. It has a lightweight formula that applies well, and the moisture doesn't disappear right away, so it seems like a good option for summer use. I use it with a serum and pads, and they work well together.
Cons
Personally, I don't think I've felt any disappointment. I've been using it even in the summer, and I'm still using it very well even in the winter now.
Tip
Using the serum and pads makes me feel more moisturized.

Pros
It's lightweight and like a gel cream, so I think it's good to use in the summer.
Cons
There's really not a single downside. This product is the best.

Pros
It's a gel-type cream with a greenish tint, and it lightly replenishes the moisture-oil balance, making it good to use in the summer.
Cons
It has a masculine skin care scent, but it's not too strong. The scent is noticeable when you first apply it, but it gradually fades, so it's not a major concern. The moisturizing power is sufficient, so it doesn't fully absorb like a soothing gel, and there's a slight residual feel.

Pros
💚 The gel cream formula is so lightweight and easy to apply 💚 It's surprisingly more moisturizing than expected, so I highly recommend it for dry skin types 💚 It helps soothe the skin! I was using my usual products when my skin got irritated during my period (I was too afraid to try a new product in case it made it worse), but after testing this out, the redness and bumps started subsiding in just 3 days!!!!! I truly recommend this product 💫 💚 The fragrance-free formula is also very pleasant and unobtrusive
Cons
There's absolutely nothing bad about this. It's amazing! I think both oily and dry skin types will love it
Tip
As someone with dry skin, the intense hydration is a real game-changer for me, so I like to use a toner, this gel cream, and then a cream to really lock in the moisture. However, those with oily skin should find that this alone is the perfect final step in their routine!

Pros
1. Moisture As a gel cream, it is easy to dry out quickly, but the moisture is abundant and lasts a long time. 2. Ingredients The fragrance bothers me, but since I have sensitive skin that doesn't react to fragrance, this is nice enough. It calms my reddened, irritated skin when I use it. 3. Texture The gel cream is lightweight, doesn't feel heavy, and absorbs well. It may not be enough for winter, but it's perfect for summer!
Cons
The cucumber-like scent... I wonder if the fragrance was really necessary.

Pros
The texture is soft and lightweight, which I really like. It applies lightly but feels substantial after application, so it's great to use before bedtime. It has a gel-cream formula that is creamy yet very hydrating. Even though I have sensitive skin, it didn't cause any irritation and was very gentle.
Cons
The only downside is the fragrance - it seems like it could be polarizing for some people. I wonder if it would have been better without any added fragrance.
Tip
It seems like it would be nice to use as an overnight mask or pack before bed.

Pros
- The cream has a lightweight, non-burdensome texture, making it easy to apply generously. 'Hwahae Trial Reviewer' packaging in a tube form is hygienic and convenient for storage. - The fragrance is not overpowering, with a subtle, earthy-like scent. - After application, the skin feels adequately moisturized, not overly dry, making it more suitable for summer use than winter. - As it does not form a thick moisture barrier, the cream absorbs well without a greasy residue.
Cons
- In the initial usage, the product dispenses quite a lot, even with a light squeeze, making it difficult to control the amount. - Due to the short trial period, the calming effect on skin troubles has not yet been observed.

Pros
The texture is smooth and creamy! My first thought when I started using it was 'Wow, this is really great!' The formula is lightweight for oily skin, yet the texture is still soft and smooth. Plus, it provides good moisture, so it was great to use in the summer!
Cons
I didn't feel any calming or soothing effects on my skin. There is some moisture, but on days when my skin was really dehydrated, it wasn't enough to fully address the dryness.

Pros
The scent The scent is very mild, similar to cucumber. The fragrance is not strong, so it is unlikely to be divisive. Texture The texture is a slightly runny gel type. Moisture and oil balance It applies lightly and immediately provides a sense of hydration. Irritation There is a very slight cooling sensation. It does not cause any breakouts or irritation. It is non-irritating and gentle.
Cons
Finish While it has a moisturizing feel upon application, the finish is a bit oily, which may be a concern for oily skin types in the summer. Dosage control The cream dispenses with a forceful 'pop' each time, making it difficult to control the amount.

Pros
Texture - It's a gel cream, so it has less oiliness and a lighter feel than regular creams. It seems like the perfect cream to use lightly in the summer. Usage - It was pleasantly bouncy and light, not at all drying. The usage experience was very satisfactory. - Breakouts There were no skin flare-ups during the week of use. Fragrance - The fragrance may be polarizing, but I found it refreshing and clean, which I really liked. I'm completely on board with it.
Cons
The packaging is hygienic and there were no breakouts, so there's really nothing I'm unhappy about.
Tip
I'd recommend layering the cream thinly twice, as that helps it absorb better and gives a more bouncy feel.
