The canister is too heavy because it is made of glass.

Skin type: Combination dry/Sensitive/Acne-prone

1. Moisturization
Since I have combination dry skin, using only the serum alone was too drying, so I applied an essence beforehand. Using the essence in addition to the serum was much more helpful in preventing dryness!

2. Centella ingredients
The Centella ingredients were helpful in soothing my skin.

3. Fragrance
There is a slight fragrance, but it is not overbearing, so I was able to use it without any aversion.

시카 카밍 세럼

Based on the type of serum, I am using different kinds in the morning and evening. This particular product is perfect for use in the morning, and its satisfaction level has significantly increased.

This product has no shortcomings. It is not particularly chewy or dramatic, so if it is quite dry, one may feel it is somewhat weak.

It's been about two months since I started using it, and it seems to be a serum that lightly adds moisture. It's on the thin side, but not too light, so I use it in the morning. It also has good absorption, so even when I'm busy, I can apply a cream on top without any absorption issues. I have occasional blemishes due to my slightly dry skin, and this morning serum is just perfect for that.

It feels like, even though the lightweight formula seems like it would be used up quickly, if it's not on sale, is it really necessary? Nowadays, there are many similar ingredients and formulations, so I tend to look for more affordable options.

My skin is oily, so I can't use products with a lot of oil, but this one suits me well.
It has a soothing effect, and after applying it, my skin feels refreshed. It's not sticky at all, which is great.

There's nothing in particular. If I had to pick something, it would be the fragrance, I suppose? But it doesn't significantly affect the usage.

It's not sticky and absorbs quickly. After use, it feels like it dries quickly and any redness is gone. It definitely didn't feel irritating.

Using the Tokobō Shikaline Skin and Essence Gel Cream together as a set of 3 products will maximize the effects.

There are no shortcomings to be found, and it is disappointing that the offline store is only located outside the airport.

Vegan cosmetics have no harmful ingredients, have a soothing effect, and feel refreshing, so they are very good. It is a product that is good to use continuously from now until summer.
The moisture and hydration were also good.

Tea tree scent can be a bit ambiguous for sensitive individuals.

The tea tree products didn't work well for me, but this one is good. I used it well.

The silica ingredients don't seem to agree with my skin very well, so I don't think I'll be repurchasing it.

This is a mild, watery serum.
Those with skin that agrees well with centella ingredients will likely enjoy it.
It doesn't do a great job of addressing dehydration.

The calming effect is not very strong.
The oil content has also risen a bit.
I recommend it for dry skin.

The product had a bit of oil, so it was great to use in the winter.

The skin-soothing effect is unknown, but the product flows like water.

I immediately purchased it as soon as I saw it because I love Hwahae the most.

I used the ampoule without any disappointment and it worked well.

The heated skin was helped, the absorption was fast, and it was very light, so it was great.

When applying the serum and as it absorbs, there's a slight feeling of something like when aloe vera soothing gel dries down - a bit tacky. But it absorbs quickly nonetheless!

💚 Texture
It was a clear, transparent liquid with a refreshing feel! When applied, it didn't feel sticky and absorbed lightly and comfortably, leaving a light, moisturized sensation.

💚 Usage Experience

The lightweight feel made it easy to use both morning and night without any burden. While it helps address dryness, it doesn't feel heavy, making it suitable for daily use. 
It has a soothing effect on heated skin during the summer. The absorption is quick!
