Since the sunscreen was so good, I also tried the Cica Calming Serum with high expectations. As I have atopic and extremely dry skin, my skin tends to become rough and messy during seasonal changes. However, I don't like the heavy, sticky feeling of using thick creams, especially in the winter. So I've been just using the serum after toner to provide hydration, and my skin feels clean and refreshed in the morning. The best things about the Tobocos Cica Calming Serum were its formula and absorption. The watery texture had no stickiness at all. Even when I accidentally dispensed too much with the dropper on the first use, there was minimal tackiness and it absorbed quickly into the skin. The absorption was fast not just on my face, but also on my neck and decolletage area. The application was smooth as well. In the morning, when I touched my face, it felt so clean and soft, without the usual sticky feeling. The attached photo shows my morning skin - it's glowing and smooth, which surprised me. For my dry skin, just water cleansing in the morning was usually enough, but this serum made my skin look and feel so healthy. There was also no skin irritation at all, so I could even use it around my sensitive eye area without any stinging. It works great as an eye cream alternative too. This product is perfect for using on sensitive skin during sensitive seasons. I also liked the subtle minty-like scent, without any heavy fragrance. Some products that remove all bad ingredients end up smelling unpleasant, but this scent is just right for me. The product packaging is also clean and pretty, so it looks nice on my vanity. The great formula combined with the beautiful bottle makes me love this product even more.
ConsThe Tobocos Cica Calming Serum is perfect for my current skin condition, but the lightweight formula might not provide enough hydration for my dry skin during the full-blown winter. The clean, non-greasy feel would be great for using in the summer or for those with combination skin, but for my dry skin, I may need to supplement with additional moisture during the colder months.
TipSince my makeup cushion requires patting rather than rubbing, I need to build up a good base with toner and lotion in the morning to prevent it from caking. I normally avoid using slow-absorbing serums or creams in the morning, but since this Tobocos Cica Calming Serum has almost no oiliness, I decided to try it as a replacement for my depleted lotion. The amazing absorption means there's no cushion caking at all. I'm really impressed by how clean and suitable this serum is for morning use.

After using it, I was satisfied with the results. I sometimes get pimples on my face, and they tend to last longer than I'd like, which is really frustrating. Other tea tree products I've tried focus mainly on improving breakouts, but after applying them, my skin would feel dry, so I'd have to use a separate hydrating serum. With this product, I can just use this one and it takes care of both moisture and blemish management. Honestly, there are some products out there that claim to do both but fall short in one area or the other. But this one doesn't have that issue, which I really appreciate. I recommend this to anyone who wants a product that can simultaneously hydrate and manage skin troubles.
ConsI didn't really notice much of a difference. For those with very dry skin, it might be a bit drying. It seems to be a product without much oil content.
TipIf you use a tea tree toner and then apply the Tocopherbo serum, followed by a slightly oily cream, your pimples will calm down and your skin will feel smooth and supple the next day.

It's lightweight and great for layering, even in the summer and winter. It's non-irritating and almost fragrance-free, which I really liked. Recently, my skin has been dry and I've had a few blemishes, so for 3 days before bed, I layered this 3-4 times after toner and my blemishes visibly improved! I normally love Tobocos sunscreen, powder cleanser, and this is my absolute favorite - I trust Tobocos 👍 It's really great~
ConsThose with very dry skin may want to avoid this in the fall and winter. It seems to focus more on hydration and soothing rather than oil control.
TipWhen I have blemishes, I like to layer this product 3 times before bed until it's fully absorbed, and it seems to help calm my skin.

Satisfactory points: The essence has a very low viscosity, like flowing water! So I felt a lot of moisture. The best part was that it absorbed quickly and felt moisturizing. In the summer, it doesn't feel sticky and seems optimal for irritated skin. I plan to use it consistently for about a month to see if it has a calming effect. But setting that aside, it's a moisturizing essence that's good for dry skin! 2. Exterior packaging and others: The transparent container is good because I can check the amount used right away! The dropper is hygienic, and I felt the design was good because the green, transparent color intuitively shows the calming effect and cica. Some people thought it had an aqua scent, but I felt a slight green herb/grass scent, which I liked. The scent is not strong.
ConsThe disappointing thing was that the dropper shape is quite common, so I thought it might be inconvenient to use until the end, and it would be difficult to use when there's not much left. And since it's focused on moisture, I felt it would be difficult to use in the winter when oil is needed.
TipThis is a good calming cica product to use in the summer. I recommend it to those who like herb or grass scents.

But the Tokoboo serum is perfect for sensitive skin types like mine. It's so gentle, yet when you apply it, it feels a bit dense at first, but if you roll it gently, it quickly absorbs into the skin without any sticky residue. There's also no strong cosmetic scent, and it seems to calm any redness or blemishes. The dropper packaging is also great for hygiene, so I think it'll last me through the summer and early fall!☺
ConsIt might feel a bit too lightweight for extremely dry skin types. Those who need more of a balance between hydration and oil might want to layer a richer cream on top. But since it's such a gentle product, it's more about providing soothing comfort to the skin rather than dramatic improvements.
TipI like to use the Tokoboo serum after cleansing in the early fall, and then follow up with a hydrating face mask. That way, even drier skin types can get the benefits through the changing seasons. And if you have any blemishes or redness pop up, sticking to gentle products like this one along with the serum can really help calm things down quickly!

Watery texture - Fragrance: The fragrance is really... It smells too much like a cosmetic product. - Does it provide good moisture? 👉🏻 I'd say it's so-so... I have combination skin that tends to be dry, and I don't think it provides enough deep moisture. There's a bit of an oily feel to it. To summarize, it's about 60% oil and 40% moisture.
Cons1. Fragrance The fragrance is really unpleasant. It has the scent of old-fashioned cosmetics that my mom used to use, and it was difficult to use at first... I was worried that my skin might react badly to it. 2. Oily feel While it claims to provide moisture, I felt it was more on the oily side. Starting from the 4th day of use, I started getting some small bumps, so I had to discontinue using it.

The lightweight texture makes it easy to use without feeling heavy, especially in the summer. Moisture: Since it's a fluid formula, it doesn't have the same plump, moisturizing feel, but the tightness has definitely improved. Fragrance: It's not unscented, but a mild fragrance - I personally enjoyed the subtle herbal-like scent, so I could use it comfortably. Soothing effect: The soothing effect was noticeable! It's refreshing, so it's been great to use during these warmer times with a lot of heat. I didn't experience any skin issues like breakouts or irritation during the week of using it, and the tightness has improved a lot!
ConsSince it's a lightweight product, it might feel a bit lacking in moisture and oil during the winter. But it's perfect for summer! And I can always apply a cream on top anyway.

It gets absorbed into the skin immediately, so you can apply the next skincare product right away without any pilling! ✔️ Fragrance It has an aloe + cucumber-like scent..! It's not an overpowering fragrance at all!! ✔️ Packaging The dropper-type packaging is great for hygienic application. ✔️ Hydration When applied, it instantly replenishes moisture into the skin. There's no heavy, sticky residue left, making it a great lightweight hydrating product.
Cons✔️ Since my skin is quite dehydrated, using this product alone leaves my face feeling a bit dry. Personally, I'd recommend applying a serum first and then finishing with a slightly richer cream.
Tip✔️ If you're someone who enjoys doing modeling packs at home, adding this product to your modeling pack can double the soothing effects! ✔️ I'd recommend this lightweight, hydrating serum to those with oily or dehydrated skin types who are looking for a great summer skincare option!
