And I felt it was suitable for summer use as well. ✔️Absorption With its watery formula, the absorption was definitely fast, and it was easy to layer the next steps.
Cons✔️Moisture As someone with extremely dry skin, I didn't find it moisturizing enough. It may be good for summer use, but for transitional seasons or winter, I'll need to follow up with a heavier cream. ✔️Calming Effect Actually, as my skin sometimes breaks out, I didn't feel it calmed down my cystic acne and closed comedones significantly. It seems to be more effective for heat calming than acne calming. ✔️Fragrance It had a slight 'dad's skincare' scent to me. While it wasn't a major issue, I think I would have preferred an unscented version.
TipIt seems to be a good serum to use instead of a toner. I found it more convenient to layer the serum twice, rather than using a toner-serum routine.

In this transitional season, my extremely dry skin only felt like it was just toned and did not receive much hydration.
ConsThe fragrance is unbearable to me. It has a cheap old man skin scent? with a fishy water-like smell~ It's hard to describe precisely, but it's not just a subtle level, and the strong fragrance that pierces through even when I apply a cream on top is too burdensome.
TipIt seems to be a product that does not suit dry or dehydrated skin, as it lacks oiliness and only has abundant moisture. It seems that those with acne-prone or oily skin would like this product.

There is a slight cooling sensation at first, which gives a refreshing feeling. When applied, it does not feel greasy, and it did not cause any particular breakouts, which was good for my sensitive skin.
ConsWhile there is a temporary calming effect, I did not feel it had a soothing effect on inflammatory blemishes. Additionally, there is a somewhat artificial cosmetic fragrance, a combination of floral and skin scents, which personally felt disconnected from the cica product, which was disappointing. I think it would have been better if it had a herbal scent or was unscented.

I had only used their sunstick before, and was satisfied with it, so I had high expectations - and the results were more than satisfactory!! It really soothed my skin, which tends to get out of whack during seasonal changes, so I was able to get through this period without any issues. For someone like me with dehydrated skin and a shiny, oily face, this ampoule seems like a great option. Most importantly, the formula is incredibly lightweight, so I can layer it multiple times without my skin feeling heavy. As a result, it doesn't clog my pores, and the periodic breakouts I used to have have decreased significantly. The best part is that despite being so lightweight, it provides ample moisture and hydration!! I used to have to rely on an additional moisturizer, especially as it got colder, because the ampoule alone wasn't enough. But with this product, just 2-3 layers is enough, and I don't feel any tightness or dryness at all. The hydration is so effective that my oiliness has also been reduced. With the soothing and moisturizing properties combined, my skin texture has really improved. It wasn't an overnight transformation, but after a few days of use, the difference was noticeable. I even had a healthy glow on my forehead and cheeks the next morning. This is an amazing product for those with dehydrated skin. If you've been hesitating to try it, I'd strongly recommend giving it a shot after reading this review. Highly recommended ᐕ'
ConsThe only downside.. was it really necessary to add fragrance? (›´-`‹ ) It has a slight public bathhouse skin scent..
TipJust make sure to layer it on a few times (்▿்)

Texture It is a thin serum-like formula. It does not flow down like a watery liquid. 2. Soothing I could visually see the redness and inflammation of the two pimples on my face calming down. In the first photo, there was a very painful pimple on my forehead, but it was soothed without having to extract it. The second photo shows pimples on my chin, where three were clustered together. I had to extract those, but the redness and heat sensation were quickly reduced. 3. Moisturizing It is effective for combating dryness. The thin formula absorbs quickly, but leaves a slightly oily feel. It's not to the point of feeling stuffy or interfering with makeup application. Applying just the serum and the Innisfree Squalane Moisture Cream was sufficient. Normally, when I only use the Innisfree Squalane Moisture Cream and apply makeup, my face feels very tight and dry.
ConsFragrance There is a scent from the Aloe Soothing Gel. It seems to be an artificial fragrance, but it's subtle and not overly bothersome. However, those sensitive to fragrances should take note.
TipThere are no additional tips.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst of all, I have very sensitive and easily irritated skin ㅠㅠ I thought this would work well since I really liked using other brands' cica ampoules, but it didn't end up working for me.. But I think it would be great for those who it does work for. The application is incredibly smooth - it's not sticky or heavy at all, but light and refreshing. I think this would be perfect for those looking for a light serum or ampoule. It doesn't feel heavy at all even when applied before makeup, and the makeup applies well on top of it! Dry-skinned individuals may find it a bit drying, though.
ConsI'm not particularly sensitive to scents, so the fragrance didn't bother me too much.. But the fragrance isn't great - it's kind of like a men's skincare scent..? I personally prefer unscented basic skincare products. It didn't agree with my skin and made it itchy ㅠㅠ It could be due to the seasonal changes, but after using this product, my skin started itching. It felt like my skin barrier was about to be compromised, so I had to stop using it.

As it is a more moisturizing ampoule rather than an oily one, it feels lightweight and pleasant to apply, making me want to use it consistently. ⭐️ I first encountered Toko-bo's products through their sunscreen, and even though I had acne-prone and sensitive skin at the time, I found the product to be very gentle and my skin felt like it could breathe. Ever since then, I've been a loyal user of Toko-bo products. So I was very satisfied to find that this ampoule also absorbed well into my skin.
Cons⭐️ The only downside would be the fragrance. The ampoule has a strong masculine scent that I found off-putting, which is a shame. I think it would have been better if it were fragrance-free.

The texture was not completely watery but had a slight viscosity, and it absorbed quickly. It was a good formula for layering multiple times. I also noticed improvements in skin texture. I received this as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer product, and I plan to repurchase it once I finish using it up!
ConsThe fragrance of the product feels a bit disconnected from the product concept. Looking at the ingredients, it seems fragrance is included, which is disappointing. The scent is not reminiscent of cica but rather like a masculine skin care product or car air freshener, which is a bit disappointing.
TipApplying it once in the morning and layering it two to three times in the evening worked perfectly for me! (I then applied a cream afterwards)

When I placed it on the back of my hand and tilted it, it flowed down quickly, showing how thin it is. I think this type of formulation would be perfect for hot weather. I also used it on areas with blemishes, and it absorbed without any stickiness, which was great. Overall, I think it's a pretty standard product! ● Summary of Pros: Lightweight and fast-absorbing, relatively non-sticky
ConsThe product has a cosmetic fragrance... Personally, I don't really prefer products with fragrance, so this was a bit disappointing for me. During dry seasons, it may feel like the moisturizing effect is slightly lacking.
TipFor this transitional weather, I would recommend using a more moisturizing product alongside this one!

It calms sensitive skin and has minimal skin irritation, making it easy to use. It also has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly and leaves no stickiness. And it doesn't dry out over time either? Even in the fall when the skin can get dry, just one application of the serum leaves a moisturized feeling. Plus, it contains natural ingredients so it doesn't burden the skin. Continuous use can make the skin feel healthier. Overall, it's a product I would recommend to those who frequently experience skin troubles.
ConsThe fragrance is quite strong, so it may be uncomfortable for those sensitive to scents. I didn't find it too bothersome, but it's similar to a men's skin scent. Additionally, the price is somewhat high, so first-time users may hesitate. The product volume is a bit small compared to the price, so it may not feel sufficient for daily use. Lastly, the effectiveness can vary individually, so it may not suit all skin types. These are things to consider when trying out the product.
TipBefore applying the serum, be sure to cleanse your face thoroughly and use a toner to refine your skin texture. This will enhance the serum's absorption. Dispense the serum into your palms, warm it up, and gently press it into your face for better penetration. Finish with a moisturizing cream to maximize the hydrating effects. Consistent morning and evening use is important. Sticking to a routine will allow you to better experience the soothing benefits.
