Try using the Tokebo Powder Wash together with the Toner & Essence & Gel Cream & Sun Stick or Sun Serum. I'm a perfect match.

We would prefer a larger capacity.
This product has an excellent price-to-performance ratio and is currently a pleasure to use. It is a good product for both women and men.

Vegan cosmetics that can be used on all skin types, including troubled skin and acne-prone skin.

시카 카밍 젤 크림

Applying Liddell Shot and then layering it on top is really great as it helps the skin absorb the products better. The toner & cream combination is a must!! Using just the cream alone, but first doing a toner pack and then applying, makes it absorb much better - it's a fantastic combination.

I would appreciate if you could provide a larger size! And I noticed that it is not available on Ollying... I hope more people can try it out and find the light, it's really great.

I can't live without this cream 🥹 Please don't discontinue it 😱
I wish everyone knew about this product 💕

I started using it around September 2024 and have repurchased it 3 times so far! As a skincare nomad, I've never found anything that works well for me, so I've always bought different products, but my bumpy skin with a lot of acne has completely calmed down..🫶🏻 Can you see the difference before and after?
Ignore my large pores, ^^. When I just look at my blemishes, they've completely subsided 😍
I received it as a trial sample on YouTube and liked it so much that I bought it!
At first, I used it in the order of toner->serum->gel cream, but as a poor student, the price was a bit high, so after using up the serum, I only repurchased the toner and gel cream ☺️

💦Toner: A viscous, runny texture. Using it as a toner pack makes the skin feel plump, so it's great for the next skincare step. It absorbs really well when applying makeup.

◻️Toner pads: When I used the trial, the cotton felt too thick and didn't adhere well to the skin, and it seemed difficult to rinse out, so I didn't purchase it. It's better to soak a thin, 5-ply cotton pad in the toner and use it as a pack.

💧Serum: Similar viscosity to the toner. Personally, I'm not sure if the serum plays a big role, so I didn't repurchase it.

💚Gel cream: I really love it ♡♡♡ I can't live without it.. Due to hormones, my skin flips upside down once a month, but with continued use, it calms down quickly! When I first tried it, the soothing effect was the most dramatic, and now that it's been over 6 months, the acne that used to come up is going away. But the moisturizing power is just right for my oily-combination skin, and when I wash my face the next day, the oil comes up, but as it rinses away, my skin feels soft and smooth!

The only downside is that the portion seems a bit small. Everything else is to my liking.

I bought it for my son and he said he liked it, so I'm repurchasing it.
He's been using it well.

Using the serum and pads makes me feel more moisturized.

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.

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.

I wish the capacity was a bit larger. It seems to run out quickly, which is disappointing.

The absorption is good, the application is smooth, and my skin seems to be getting cleaner, so I've been using it frequently.

Using it with a toner and serum will give you glowing skin. I use the whole line including sunscreen, and I recommend it for people with sensitive skin (that gets irritated during their period, from stress, or from cold winds).

The contents come out a lot from the tube. Don't press down too hard.

It's non-irritating, moisturizing, and not too rich, so it seems like it would be good to use year-round. For extremely dry skin, layering it on 2-3 times would probably work well even in the fall and winter.

I had taken some photos but they all got lost, so I can't attach them.

When your face is damp, applying the hydrating gel right after toner makes the moisturizing effect even better!
Patting it on helps it absorb quickly!

Since I've been using only fragrance-free products, I felt this product had quite a bit of fragrance, more than I expected.

✔️Oil-free hydrating gel
✔️Moisturizes without greasiness or bumps
✔️Does not interfere with foundation or color cosmetics

There's really not a single downside. This product is the best.

It's lightweight and like a gel cream, so I think it's good to use in the summer.

The downside is that the volume is small compared to the price. I wish they would release a larger size.

I really love it! It seems the cica ingredients work well for me.

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.

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.

It seems best to apply it in the morning, after going out, or before bed after cleansing.
When applied, there is a feeling of a thin, coated layer forming, but this seems to help maintain the moisturizing effect, and the lotion doesn't easily get washed away.

The fragrance may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Hmm.. I'm not a big fan of strong fragrances in lotions, so the fragrance is a bit of a personal dislike for me.^^ 
The reason I say 'a bit' is because the lingering fragrance is actually quite nice!

》Texture
The color is a light green like the case.
It has a slightly bouncy texture.
It has a chewy feel, but a heavy texture. However, when applied, it can be spread thinly and doesn't feel heavy or sticky on the skin.

》Fragrance
The fragrance is a bit strong, like a men's lotion.
At first, my family members all thought it smelled familiar, like a men's lotion they had tried before.
But it's not a cheap scent - it's a nice, lotion-like fragrance.
The initial scent is quite strong for a lotion, but after about 5 minutes, a subtle fragrance remains, which is nice.

》Usage Review
There is a slight cooling sensation, so it would be good for summer use. It's lightweight but still moisturizing.
After applying and some time passing, there is a coated, slightly tacky feel on the skin, but it's not uncomfortable or suffocating. It just gives a plump, supple sensation.
After applying and sleeping, there was no residue or issues on my face the next day.^.^
There is also no irritation, and it's easy to apply after going out and washing.
