The positive review highlights the product's lightweight feel, which many users appreciate in skincare. However, the negative review describes a severe reaction, possibly indicating an allergic reaction or irritation. This contrast shows how individual skin types can respond differently to the same product. It's always advisable to patch test new skincare items, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to blemishes.

My skin reacted badly to this product. I used to wear makeup daily, but after using this, my skin felt tight and developed small bumps all over. I suffered for a week because of it. Even now, when I apply makeup, the U-zone of my face feels tight and turns red. It's unbearably itchy.

It's so lightweight, you can barely feel it on your skin. It truly feels feather-light and airy.

시카마누 세럼 인 매트 쿠션 [SPF50+/PA++++] [21호 페어아이보리]

This cushion foundation seems to work well for oily skin types, providing good coverage for pores while maintaining a balance between initial hydration and a matte finish. It's time-saving and easy to use, which is a big plus for those who want a quick makeup routine.

So far, I haven't found anything to complain about. I'm really enjoying using it!

As someone with oily skin, I usually go for matte cushions. But most of them struggle to cover pores effectively, which means I have to spend extra time applying makeup meticulously. This one, however, is a breeze to apply and glides on smoothly.

Surprisingly, it feels moisturizing when you first apply it, which made me go "Huh?". But it dries to a beautifully matte finish.

On days when you expect to sweat a lot, powder is a must!
Keep your skincare layers light and try to avoid applying thick layers of product!

If you apply thick layers of skincare underneath, the makeup tends to pill a bit, especially around the nose.
Despite being a matte cushion, on sweaty summer days, it broke down, leaving the forehead area looking quite oily.

The coverage was great, concealing everything except intense redness. The shade was just right and looked beautiful!
The adherence to the skin was also quite good!
If you choose a shade that matches your complexion, it should give you a natural brightening effect!
It creates a lovely skin finish too.

The adherence to the skin could be better, but I think that might be due to my application technique. There's a bit of pilling, and it seems to fade rather quickly, which is a bit disappointing.

This cushion is super user-friendly, even for those who aren't great with makeup. It feels incredibly hydrating, and even when you apply a lot, it doesn't look cakey or heavy on the skin.

For areas that needed more coverage, I found that applying another layer with a different cushion worked well!

However, the coverage isn't great. While I appreciate how hydrating and lightweight it is, the lack of coverage means it's best suited for those who already have good skin.

I've been using this product for about three months, and it's amazing! It applies incredibly thinly and leaves my skin feeling completely hydrated. As someone with a complexion between 21-22, it was perfect for me. I have dry skin that used to flake all the time, but this keeps it so moisturized - I absolutely love it!

For a matte cushion, I didn't find it as matte as I expected. I always have to set it with powder. Aside from being unexpectedly hydrating, rich, and not very matte, I'm really satisfied with it.

The complexion looks truly beautiful. Even when it starts to wear off, it only gets a bit rich rather than breaking down in an unsightly way. It would be perfect for those with dry skin or during dry seasons like winter!

The shade runs slightly lighter compared to other cushions. Keep that in mind when selecting your shade number!

Unfortunately, there's a bit of product buildup and slight lifting around the sides of the nose. That was a bit disappointing.

The coverage is somewhat similar to the Hero cushion, and it's particularly effective at concealing redness. Even when used on sensitive skin, it doesn't cause much irritation. After removing, your skin feels the same or even more soothed. It's moisturizing, so it doesn't tend to flake. Applying powder in specific areas works well. There's hardly any darkening effect.

I applied the Hwahae spoundation first, then layered this cushion on top, and it definitely made my skin look smooth and velvety. I recommend getting the spoundation one shade darker than usual. Using them together really helps control excess oil. Just be careful not to apply too much, or you might get some pilling. Use it in moderation.

There wasn't much to dislike. Maybe there's a slight ampoule scent? Or perhaps the cushion opening is a bit small?

First off, it's wonderfully hydrating, probably thanks to the ampoule inside. It starts off moisturizing and then becomes slightly powdery, making it perfect for those with dry skin to use in summer. Plus, it gives a beautiful complexion.

It does tend to leave fingerprints or hair marks. The shade leans a bit on the yellow side.

This is truly my summer crush cushion! It applies with a matte finish, but gives you that coveted Inner Glow, making your complexion look absolutely flawless. There's no darkening, and the staying power is impressive.

Overall, this foundation seems to offer good staying power and general coverage for most skin concerns. However, if you're looking to conceal more severe blemishes or textured areas, you might need additional spot concealing. The long-lasting formula is a definite plus for those who prefer a low-maintenance makeup routine. As for the shade selection, it's always a good idea to test or go slightly darker if you're unsure, as foundations can sometimes appear lighter on the skin than in the packaging.

It doesn't quite cover blemish scabs, if that's what you're dealing with on your skin.

I've been using this for about two weeks now, and I'm impressed with how well it adheres to my skin and provides decent coverage. It's great that I don't need to touch up for 7-8 hours - it really works hard throughout the day! The shade turned out a bit brighter than I expected, so you might want to consider going one shade darker when purchasing.

While the product seems to excel in coverage and texture, it's important to note that individual skin reactions can vary. For those with super sensitive skin, it's always wise to patch test new products, especially when it comes to complexion products that work hard to cover blemishes and even skin tone.

They advertised it as having great ingredients, but I felt a bit of irritation after using it. Please check the ingredients before buying. The staying power isn't bad, but it's not exceptionally good either.

The coverage is simply amazing... It's exactly like in the ads! It completely covers blemishes, doesn't darken the skin, and most importantly, it doesn't accentuate dead skin cells - it's just incredible.
