It's fantastic for extremely oily, acne-prone skin during summer! I used it once before as part of The Hwahae Testers, and back then I thought it was just okay. But after repurchasing and using it on my skin that was acting up during the seasonal change, I'm impressed! It quickly calms blemishes and works wonders! The water-like texture isn't overwhelming for oily skin and absorbs well! Personally, I can't stand sticky products, so I'm really satisfied with the texture, how it absorbs, and how well it works hard on my skin.
Cons
Nothing negative to report! I'm extremely satisfied! It would be even better if it came with a bigger discount though.

Skin type: Very dry / Sensitive / Milia-prone acne 1. Hydration As I have extremely dry skin, using just a serum alone was too drying, so I applied this before my ampoule. It helped significantly with deep dryness compared to using the ampoule alone! 2. Cica ingredients The cica ingredients really helped soothe my skin! 3. Scent There's a slight fragrance, but it's not overwhelming, so I could use it without any aversion!
Cons
1. Empty bottle The container is made of glass, making it quite heavy, unfortunately.
Tip
Apply before using your ampoule

I've been using this for about two months, and it seems to be a serum that adds a light touch of hydration. Although it's on the thinner side, it's not too lightweight, so I've been using it in the morning. It absorbs well, so even when I'm in a rush, I can apply cream right over it without any absorption issues. As someone with occasionally blemish-prone, mildly dry skin, this is perfect as a morning serum.
Cons
There's not much to criticize about this product. It's not particularly rich or dramatically effective, so if you have severe dryness, you might find it a bit weak.
Tip
I use different types of serums for morning and evening, and this product has really boosted my satisfaction as part of my morning routine.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I can't use products that are too rich, but this one suits me well. It has a calming effect and leaves my skin feeling fresh after application. I love that it's not sticky at all.
Cons
While the lightweight formula seems like it would be used up quickly, I'm not sure it's worth it at full price. With so many similar formulations and ingredients available these days, I find myself looking for more affordable options.

It absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. After use, I feel like it helps with deep dryness and reduces redness. There was definitely no irritation.
Cons
Nothing really. If I had to pick something, maybe the scent? But it's not significant enough to affect usage.

I absolutely love this vegan skincare product! It's free from harmful ingredients, has excellent soothing properties, and feels so refreshing. It's perfect to use from now through summer. The hydration and moisturizing effects were also great.
Cons
I can't find any downsides to this product. The only disappointment is that offline stores are only available at airports.
Tip
For maximum effectiveness, try using all three products in the Tocobo Cica line together: the skin toner, essence, and gel cream.

I usually don't get along with tea tree products, but this one works well for me. I'm happy with it!
Cons
The tea tree scent might be a bit tricky for those with sensitive noses.
Tip
I apply it generously on my forehead, cheeks, and nose.

It's a decent, lightweight serum. Those who respond well to cica ingredients will likely enjoy this. However, it doesn't effectively address deep dryness.
Cons
The cica ingredients don't seem to agree particularly well with my skin, so I probably won't repurchase it.

This product has a rich texture, making it perfect for winter use

The soothing effect isn't very strong. It also leaves the skin feeling a bit oily. I'd recommend it for those with dry skin

As a huge fan of cica products, I bought this as soon as I saw it
Cons
I can't really tell if it has any soothing effects on my skin. The product is very runny, almost like water
