I could use it comfortably even during summer months. Gentle enough for sensitive days Thanks to its cica ingredients, it was mild and didn't cause any tingling sensation, even when my skin was feeling sensitive. It seemed to calm my skin without irritating blemishes. Effective for recent redness While it may not dramatically improve old acne scars, I noticed it was particularly effective in soothing the redness of newly formed blemishes. After using it consistently for about a week, my complexion appeared slightly more even. PDRN aids skin recovery The combination of cica and PDRN seemed to help restore the skin barrier. It balanced my skin without leaving an oily residue, addressing deep dryness to some extent. Limited effect on severe blemishes or pigmentation Unfortunately, it doesn't show significant results for intense breakouts or dark spots. Not for dramatic improvement It's better suited for calming initial redness rather than expecting dramatic improvements in skin texture. Moderate hydration The hydration level is relatively low, so if used alone, it might cause tightness in dry areas. It's best to layer it with a light moisturizer or hydrating serum. For enhanced effectiveness in calming redness, try spot-treating affected areas by applying an extra layer as the final step in your skincare routine. It works well as a targeted treatment serum. For longer-lasting and more focused care, consider applying it primarily to areas prone to blemishes, such as cheeks, chin, and forehead, rather than all over the face. - ba******Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedJun 21, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Its gel-like texture is packed with hydration and absorbs quickly, making it suitable for both oily and dry skin types. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to rapidly improve irritated, reddened skin. I loved the lightweight gel consistency that's perfect for use even during summer months without feeling heavy! While it's certainly effective for soothing pigmentation and reducing redness quickly, you may need to use it more consistently to see improvements in fine lines and skin barrier function. For best results, use the serum immediately after cleansing and toning to prep your skin. When your skin is properly prepped, the serum absorbs much better and becomes more effective! Try storing it in the refrigerator - the cooling effect when applied is great for reducing heat and inflammation, especially during summer! - yj*********Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedJun 20, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

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.My skin is dry and sensitive, and I tend to focus a lot on hydration, especially during seasonal changes when my skin feels extra parched deep down. This product has a consistency between an ampoule and a serum. It absorbs well without any stickiness, leaving a fresh finish that doesn't interfere with applying subsequent skincare products. However, I avoided layering it in the morning before makeup, just in case it might cause pilling. Instead, I applied multiple layers at night, finishing with a cream. I didn't experience any blemishes after using this product. Perhaps due to the PDRN ingredient, this product isn't particularly budget-friendly. While the scent is subtle, those with super sensitive skin might find it unfamiliar or potentially irritating. The product seems to work hard at addressing deep dryness and maintaining the oil and moisture balance without causing irritation. It appears to be suitable for combination dehydrated skin types looking for effective hydration. The fact that it doesn't cause blemishes is a plus for those with sensitive complexions. However, the price point and potential scent sensitivity are factors to consider before purchasing. - sy*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJun 20, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The packaging features a pump, though multiple pumps are needed for adequate coverage due to the small amount dispensed each time. While the texture itself isn't runny and feels quite substantial, it applies incredibly smoothly and leaves the skin feeling hydrated. It's gentle, non-sticky, and strikes the perfect balance in its finish - not too greasy, nor does it over-absorb and leave the skin parched. It's just right, allowing sunscreen or foundation to be layered on top without any pilling! It pairs beautifully with any product, absorbing seamlessly. Personally, I often experience tightness after cleansing and need to apply something. When dealing with small blemishes or blackheads, I dislike when products are too oily, making whiteheads more visible and difficult to extract. This product, however, not only helps refine the skin but also maintains hydration, making it easier to address minor skin concerns without any pilling. It's truly impressive! None! It's fantastic. I wish they'd offer a larger 100ml size at a reasonable price. No special tips needed - it's such a great product, just apply and enjoy! - hy*******Combination SkinAcne SkinJun 20, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It seems excellent for immediate hydration. I found it worked great when used after opening up the skin's moisture pathways with toner. I can't see any special effects. Lately, I've been getting a lot of comedonal acne, so I visited a dermatologist and spa. They said it was due to dehydrated skin. Since I heard this feedback after using this product, I realized it doesn't seem to provide deep hydration or absorption into the skin as much as I thought. Also, I used to only get blemishes on my forehead and chin. But after using this product, acne spread to near my ears and under my cheekbones. I'm surprised, as it's not supposed to be an irritating product. When dealing with combination dehydrated skin, it's crucial to find products that balance oil and moisture effectively. While this product may work for some, it's important to patch test and monitor your skin's reaction, especially if you have super sensitive skin prone to redness or allergic reactions. Remember, what works for one person may not work for another, so listen to your skin and adjust your skincare routine accordingly. - db*********Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRednessRecommendedJun 20, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It doesn't just calm the skin - it goes deep to care for lingering marks. What makes it truly special is how it simultaneously repairs three types of skin concerns: Discoloration left behind by blemishes, The sunken appearance where volume has been lost, And weakened skin barriers from repeated irritation. When I tested the texture on the back of my hand, I found it to be a perfectly balanced, hydrating essence - neither too thin nor too thick. While it doesn't run like water, it absorbs beautifully into the skin. The cooling sensation upon application made it ideal for my skin that tends to feel warm. The combination of key ingredients EZLite™ and Cica PDRN Clearly outperformed standard serums in terms of absorption speed and deep penetration. Its ability to soothe irritated skin is exceptional. On days when my skin feels hot, I can definitely feel it calming down. Knowing it's non-comedogenic and tested safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin makes me reach for it even more! If you want to reduce skin irritation and fade those lingering marks, I highly recommend the iRecipe Cica PDRN! During my time using this product, I didn't find any particular drawbacks. The product's effectiveness in addressing multiple skin concerns simultaneously sets it apart in the crowded skincare market. Its soothing properties, combined with its ability to tackle discoloration and improve skin texture, make it a versatile option for those dealing with post-blemish marks or general skin irritation. The cooling sensation upon application is an added bonus, especially for those with skin that tends to feel warm or inflamed. - yg***Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRednessRecommendedJun 19, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

With the weather being so hot and humid lately, my skin has been in total chaos... I was really worried about the redness and small blemishes that were getting worse, but luckily I received the Cica PDRN Scar Clear Serum. Here's my review after using it for a week! 💙 Smooth application It's not a transparent water-like serum, but rather a slightly translucent texture with a bit of viscosity! It glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly after gently massaging it in. 💙 Fresh finish The finish of a serum is so important, isn't it? Especially in this hot summer weather, I tend to avoid sticky serums. The Cica PDRN Scar Clear Serum feels hydrating and moisturizing when applied, but leaves a fresh finish! I loved how it left my skin feeling slightly moisturized without any stickiness. 💙 Skin soothing My skin tends to be a bit sensitive, so in this hot summer weather, it can get irritated and break out! After using the Cica PDRN Scar Clear Serum, all my small blemishes disappeared and my blotchy skin calmed down. It seems perfect for soothing skin in the hot summer! 💙 Overall rating Texture: 5/5 Application: 5/5 Hydration: 5/5 Skin soothing: 5/5 Repurchase intention: 5/5 While it's not a serum that noticeably improves pores or brightens skin, it seems really effective for soothing the skin! I recommend it as a great serum for easy use in summer. There's nothing particularly disappointing about it. I find it hydrating and think I'll use it well this summer! Since I have dry skin, I find the Cica PDRN Scar Clear Serum a bit drying if I only apply it once, so I layer it twice and finish with a regenerating cream. - bo*******Normal SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesEnlarged PoresRecommendedJun 19, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

That's a clear sign it agrees with my skin. The texture is definitely serum-like, but it doesn't run down your face (though it's not quite a gel either). Thanks to this consistency, it absorbs well and instantly gives that hydration boost feeling. Ingredient-wise, it seems the cica components make it gentle with zero irritation. It even felt like it was cooling down my skin! I found it perfect for the early stages of my skincare routine, both in terms of how it feels and its effects. If you're looking to try a mild PDRN formula, this could be a great option! I had high hopes because of the PDRN ingredient, but the regenerative effects were a bit underwhelming. While the product excels in gentleness and hydration, those seeking more dramatic skin regeneration results might find it lacking. It's important to manage expectations and remember that results can vary from person to person.
