시카 카밍 젤 크림

Try using it together with Tocobo powder wash, toner, essence, gel cream, and sunstick or sun serum. For me, it's an absolute perfect match.

I wish it came in a larger size. It's a product with great value for money, perfect for use right now, and suitable for both women and men.

A vegan cosmetic suitable for all skin types, including blemish-prone and acne-prone skin.

Applying this after Leegeehaam Shot is fantastic - your skin absorbs it even better. The toner and cream combo is a must-have! Using the cream after a toner pack leads to much better absorption than using the cream alone. It's a golden combination!

I wish they'd offer a larger size! Also, it's not available at Olive Young. I really hope more people can try this and find their skin savior. It's truly amazing!

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 I'm currently on my third repurchase! As a skincare nomad, I never found anything that really worked for me, so I kept trying different products. But this one completely calmed my bumpy, acne-prone skin. Can you see the before and after difference? (Ignore my pores, I'm a pore queen...) Just look at how the blemishes have subsided!

I first tried it as part of a YouTube review program and loved it so much I bought it myself. Initially, I used the toner -> serum -> gel cream routine, but as a student on a budget, I've only repurchased the toner and gel cream after finishing the serum.

💦Toner: Has a mucus-like consistency. When used as a toner pack, it makes my skin firm and allows the next skincare steps and makeup to absorb beautifully.

◻️Toner pads: I tried these as part of the review program, but the cotton was too thick and didn't adhere well to my skin. I didn't feel it released the product effectively, so I didn't purchase them. I prefer using the toner with 5-layer cotton pads for a mask.

💧Serum: Similar consistency to the toner. Personally, I'm not sure if serums make a big difference, so I didn't repurchase.

💚Gel cream: I absolutely love this! I can't live without it. Due to hormonal issues, my skin flares up once a month, but continuous use of this helps it calm down faster! The soothing effect was most dramatic when I first started using it. After 6 months, it doesn't prevent breakouts entirely, but it provides just the right amount of hydration for my combination dehydrated skin. The next morning, there's some oil on my skin, but when I wash it off, my skin feels incredibly soft.

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

I'm repurchasing this because my son said he likes it after I bought it for him. He's been using it well.

When used with serums and pads, it provides an even more intense hydration.

Personally, I couldn't find any drawbacks. I've been using it comfortably throughout summer and now in winter as well.

The Tocobo Cica Calming Gel Cream is hydrating and gentle on the skin. I'm usually prone to itching or redness if a product doesn't suit me, but I experienced none of that with this. It has a lightweight texture that's easy to apply, and the moisturizing effect lasts, making it perfect for summer use. It works great in combination with serums and pads.

I wish the volume was a bit more. It's disappointing that it seems to run out quickly.

It absorbs well and applies smoothly. I use it often because I feel like it's making my skin clearer.

Using this with toner and serum gives you that honey-like skin. I use the whole line including sunscreen, and I recommend it for those with super sensitive skin (who break out during periods, when stressed, or from cold wind).

The product comes out of the tube quickly. Be careful not to squeeze it too hard.

It's non-irritating, hydrating, and doesn't feel too rich, making it great for year-round use. For extremely dry skin, layering it on twice might work well even in fall and winter.

I couldn't attach photos because I lost the ones I took, unfortunately.

For better hydration, apply this moisturizing gel quickly after toner while your face is still damp!
Pat it in gently and it absorbs well!

As someone who usually uses fragrance-free products, I found this one to have a stronger scent than I expected.

✓ Hydrating gel without excess oil
✓ Moisturizes without causing tiny bumps or rough texture
✓ Doesn't cause foundation or other makeup to pill

There's absolutely nothing to complain about with this product. It's absolutely fantastic!

It's lightweight and has a gel-cream texture, which makes it perfect for summer use

The only downside is that the amount you get is quite small compared to the price. I wish they'd release a larger size!

The cica ingredients seem to work wonders for me - I absolutely love it!

I think it's better to apply this after going out or before bed, rather than in the morning. When you apply it, it feels like it creates a thin protective layer, which seems good for maintaining hydration, and the emulsion doesn't easily evaporate.

The scent might be divisive.
Well... personally, I don't like emulsions with strong fragrances, so I'm not a big fan of the scent ^^;
The reason it's only a slight dislike is because the lingering scent is actually nice!

》Texture
The color is light green, just like the case. It has a slightly bouncy texture that feels firm yet not heavy. When applied, it spreads thinly with minimal pilling. It doesn't feel like it's clogging the pores or weighing down the skin, absorbing lightly.

》Scent
It has a somewhat intense masculine emulsion scent. At first, we thought it smelled familiar... When we had everyone in the family smell it, the common opinion was, 'We've smelled this in men's emulsions before!' But it's not a cheap scent - it's a high-quality emulsion fragrance. The initial scent is quite strong for an emulsion, but after about 5 minutes, it leaves a pleasant, subtle fragrance.

》User Experience
There's a slight cooling effect, making it great as a summer emulsion. It's lightweight yet provides good hydration. Even after it's fully absorbed, you can feel a slight coating on the skin, but it's not suffocating. Instead, it gives a slightly firming sensation to the skin. I slept with it on and woke up without any blemishes the next morning ^.^ Also, it's non-irritating and feels great to apply after cleansing post-outdoor activities.
