While it's not exactly a fluffy pudding texture, it's a hydrating type that spreads smoothly on the skin. 💎 Hydration: Unlike many gel creams that evaporate quickly, this product offers better moisture retention. As someone with combination skin, I found it suitable for use in autumn and spring with proper amount control. In summer, using a smaller amount worked well too! Compared to typical gel creams, it seems to have more emollients, which is a plus as it provides not just hydration but also some oiliness. I'd recommend this to those who want a gel cream but worry about it being too light and evaporating quickly! 💎 Packaging: It comes in a hygienic and convenient tube with a twist-off cap. You can use it as is normally, and when it's almost empty, you can open the cap to get the last bits out. Just be careful with the amount that comes out when you do this. 💎 Scent: It's fragrance-free, with no added perfume ingredients. I appreciated that there was barely any raw material smell either. I never had any issues with the scent while using it daily. 💎 Value for money: Despite being a 100ml product, it's reasonably priced. Considering gel creams often require more product per use, the generous amount and affordable price make it a great value. 💎 Irritation: A gentle gel cream with no irritation! I didn't feel any discomfort, so it should be suitable for those with sensitive skin like me.
Cons☁️ Absorption: The absorption rate is a bit low. Typically, gel creams tend to evaporate or leave a sticky finish rather than absorb, and this product follows that pattern. Moreover, it has more oil content compared to other gel creams, which might make some users feel residue or slow absorption. Especially in summer, those with oily skin looking for a light gel cream might find it slightly off the mark. ☁️ Cica: The cica content is too low... Excluding the extract, the total amount of the four types of Centella Asiatica (Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, and Asiatic Acid forms) is only 0.04ppm. Despite being labeled as a cica product, the actual cica ingredient content is disappointingly low. It would have been better if they had increased the amount of these active ingredients.
Tip✨️ I recommend this for those looking for a 'gel cream' with slightly more hydrating power. It seems suitable for oily skin types in spring and fall, and for dry skin in summer. ✨️ With panthenol and niacinamide as main ingredients, it's good for general use without irritation. The product itself was indeed gentle and easy to use. The price point is also reasonable, making it a solid choice! I think it would have sold even better if they had disclosed the panthenol content (from what I remember, it contained more panthenol than expected).

It feels fresh and light on the skin, with a subtle richness that keeps the hydration locked in for longer. I really enjoyed how it maintained moisture without feeling heavy.
ConsIt doesn't absorb very quickly, so it doesn't seem to deeply hydrate the skin. The feeling isn't particularly comfortable, and there's a slight residue left on the skin.

It's a slightly richer soothing gel cream with a touch of richness in the finish. It provides just the right amount of moisture for combination dehydrated skin, making it an ideal hydrating cream.
ConsDespite being a gel cream, it doesn't absorb particularly well. Even after patting it in for a while, it leaves a slightly slippery residue on the face, which can lead to pilling. You have to be very careful with the amount you apply, using less than you might expect. But here's the catch - hydrating gel creams are meant to be applied generously to boost hydration. This contradiction makes me hesitant to reach for it.

It's truly a gel-type cream formula, making it a lightweight option that even those with oily skin can use comfortably!
ConsIt tends to leave a rich residue on the skin, and the product doesn't absorb quickly, resulting in a sticky feeling. Because of this, it might be best suited for nighttime use only. I wish the texture was a bit lighter.
TipI have redness on my cheeks, so I keep it in the refrigerator. When applied cool, it quickly reduces facial heat and calms the skin.

It's non-irritating and absorbs gently into the skin, which I really appreciated! Scent: The product is almost fragrance-free, but those sensitive to smells might detect a very subtle scent. However, it's not uncomfortable or irritating when using the product. You can think of it as a typical cica scent! Effects: Although I've only been using it for a week and haven't experienced definitive results yet, true to its cica formula, it's great for soothing the skin. As a hydrating gel, applying two layers helps prevent any feeling of dryness, which I found excellent!
ConsThere's a slight residual feeling on the face - it's hard to tell if it's moistness or just product leftover. Make sure to let it absorb thoroughly for the best results!

The compact packaging even includes Braille for the visually impaired, which is thoughtful. After applying, I felt my skin calming down. My skin is naturally super sensitive and prone to sudden redness and hives even without irritation, but when I apply this and leave it on, it subsides relatively quickly! I think this would be great for those with sensitive faces that tend to get oily.
ConsIt's a decent product without any major issues, but after application, there was a slightly sticky residue left on the skin. However, it wasn't bothersome enough to be a real concern.
TipWhen I applied a thin layer before makeup, my base adhered really well and looked smooth.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFrom the Braille packaging to the color scheme, the first impression is one of meticulous attention to detail. The formula is a gel cream brimming with hydration, giving a sense that it's a skincare product focused more on moisture. The scent is a subtle, inoffensive hint of centella(?), likely to be universally appealing. Gel moisturizers are particularly useful in summer, and while evenings are getting cooler, daytime temperatures are still quite high, so I prefer a light morning skincare routine. For a light finishing cream, this moisturizer seems ideal - its texture creates a smooth, hydrated complexion.
ConsI expected the formula to be a light gel cream that would absorb quickly, but the absorption wasn't as good as I'd hoped. The lingering slippery feeling took time to sink in, and the finish wasn't entirely satisfactory. Moreover, from the third day of use, I noticed small blemishes appearing on my cheeks - some ingredient must not have agreed with my skin. I'll need to pause usage for a few days and then restart with a smaller amount.
TipApply a thin layer before makeup for a burst of hydration! If you have oily skin, use sparingly and reapply if needed.

With this summer heat and constant AC, my pores are more noticeable and my skin feels generally lackluster. I've been focusing on soothing and barrier protection. My T-zone's a bit oily, while my cheeks are dealing with some deep dryness. There's one big blemish on my chin, thanks to my cycle. Overall, I'd say I'm dealing with combination dehydrated skin that's on the sensitive side. First off, the packaging design is a vibrant green that gives it a fresh, lively feel. The lightweight tube is convenient to use, and I appreciate the Braille label - nice touch! The scent is very subtle - almost unscented? Personally, unless a product has a strong fragrance like perfume, I quickly get used to these gentle scents and they end up feeling unscented to me. So the fragrance doesn't really bother me. The formula is semi-transparent with just a hint of pale green. It's a bit thicker than the runny gel I expected - more of a hybrid between a cream and a gel. It feels super hydrating and moisturizing when applied. There's a nice bounce when you pat it in, but I noticed a slight residue on my hands that I felt the need to wipe off. It seems to absorb a bit slowly on my skin, probably due to the intense summer heat. Those with oily skin might find it a tad sticky in this sweltering weather. Being a cica product with a light gel-cream texture, I initially applied it generously. However, the next morning I noticed two small blemishes on my left cheek, almost ready to pop. My cheeks and cheekbones don't usually break out due to their dryness, so I think the thick layer combined with the heat might have been too much for my skin. I took a couple of days off, using just an aloe mask, before trying the cica gel cream again. This time, I applied a thinner layer. I didn't want to stop at just serum, fearing the hydration would evaporate quickly, so I used this as a light protective layer. Since then, I haven't had any breakouts and I've been using it consistently up until tonight as I write this review. I've learned that to truly benefit from a product with good ingredients, your skin needs to be in a good condition too. It's best not to be greedy and apply only as much as your skin can handle at the moment.
ConsThe slight residue left on hands and slow absorption might be the only downsides. Other than that, I don't have any major complaints.
TipI tried the recommended method of keeping it in the fridge for a bit and using it as a cooling pack. It was great for soothing and felt even more hydrating. Reducing skin temperature seems crucial in summer, and this method allows for a more generous application without issues.

First off, I loved that it's fragrance-free. While the texture isn't particularly cooling and it doesn't sink in instantly, the application is smooth. It leaves a dewy finish that's quite nice. There is a slightly sticky residue, but after sleeping with it on, my face feels incredibly soft the next morning when I cleanse. Summer can actually be more drying with sweat and air conditioning, but this seems to provide good hydration. A friend mentioned that her makeup adheres better after using this product.
ConsThe finish leaves a somewhat sticky residue. The regular price is jaw-dropping for what you get. Since it's frequently on sale anyway, I wonder if they could just make the sale price the standard one.
TipIf you keep it cool before applying, it amplifies the soothing effect!
