CICA AC Serum for Acne-Prone Skin – Korean Facial Serum with Exosome, Centella Asiatica, Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid & Vitamin B3 – Hydrating & Calming, 1.01 fl oz

My skin became smoother. After finishing one bottle, my skin tone definitely became brighter and the blush on my cheeks improved.

Very soft texture and feel so nice

The thickness is good and it is gentle on the skin. I prefer to add toner before I apply this serum. I have sensitive skin but this product felt good on my skin. That is a win for me.

To start, I’m a skincare enthusiast, and I have a special love for Korean skincare products because they just don’t seem to fail me. This Dermafirm Cica AC serum is no exception. To start, the serum was well-sealed, which I always appreciate as this speaks to the integrity and authenticity of the product. Additionally, the bottle contains an expiration date, which is one of the first things I always check on beauty products since that’s crucial information to know. Now, if you can’t tell from the name, the main ingredient in this serum is a significant percentage of centella asiatica, which is even the first listed ingredient. Some of the other powerhouse ingredients in the serum include AHA, niacinamide, and glutathione, all of which are best for soothing and improving the skin’s texture and appearance. This serum is also formulated with sensitive, acne-prone skin in mind, so it seems like it would be great for a variety of skin types. Plus, per the company, their products are clean as well as cruelty, paraben, and preservative-free. The serum itself is milky white in color, and while it’s on the thicker side, it’s very lightweight. It’s not tacky at all once I put it on because it absorbs rather quirky into the skin. I haven’t experienced any irritation at all, and to me, it has no discernible scent. It just smells natural if that makes sense. This serum just feels really lovely on the face, and it has provided such relief to my struggling skin. I recently tried a new product, and my skin was unhappy for days. I stopped using it and pared back my active skincare in hopes this would calm the irritation, but it didn’t do much. As such, I focused on using products to help soothe and repair my skin barrier, and this serum was once of those products. Overall, I’m happy to say that I would definitely consider purchasing this again as it really does leave my skin feeling soothed and nourished. This is definitely the kind of product that requires consistency and long-term use to really reap the benefits, so I look forward to seeing how my skin improves over time!

I have a more oil prone forehead and chin while more dry cheeks, this serum is so good for my skin! The consistency isn’t so oily and more of a cream serum/water based, it really helps reduce the oil on my face after I put it on and even in the morning when I wake up. My skin tone looks much more clear and corrected. My skin feels very hydrated still and so soft when I wake up. My picture show the ingredients, what the bottle looks like, and a picture of the serum sitting on my finger. It is a thicker serum, so it’s not sliding all over and it does dry quicker. Hopefully that picture shows that but I can tell you for my experience it is more like a cream based serum, and not an oil based at all. This DermAfirm Cicaa.c serum is water based and makes it great for oil prone skin. I’ve made this my night serum since it really works for me so good on my face and it really absorbs fast into your skin. With my facial treatments I do every night, it helps to get done faster with it not being sticky or to oily and with the rapid absorption. This dries in perfect time so you can put on lotion over it if you choose to, which I do, and not have an oily pillow when you wake up in the morning, or have to stand in front of a fan with your face, waiting for your serum to dry. it’s a lot quicker being able to get into bed at night and not have For each layer of my skin to dry for the products I use. And your face still feels a really smooth and hydrated in the morning and right after use. Also since I use a lot of treatments and devices on my skin, this feels really nice after and does calm any lingering redness or any slight discomfort i might have when I put it on after any high devices I use. The ingredients in the serum, I really like a lot. I looked them all up before putting this on my face and I’m really impressed with how they made this serum. There’s so many good ingredients, I listed a picture above in case you wanted to look them up yourself. The only thing I would say is if you’re using the serum make sure to put it on quickly, only because it is very fast absorbing and so you want to get it all over your face and not just one place. Make sure to put the correct amount on, a little goes a long way, but I usually use a couple pumps and then smooth it around my face and then pat pat pat so it’s nicely absorbed in your skin. I will absolutely be re-ordering the serum, and I would hundred percent recommend it to anybody looking for a good starter one or just a good one in general if they like to use light or high therapy or any kind of treatments, this is great and soothing. Everything it says it does it does do and it’s a great value. I love waking up without an oily pillow and with my face feeling so hydrated and smooth while looking more even in tone. You also don’t need to use a lot, A little does go along way just make sure to be quicker about spreading it on your face or maybe use a toner ahead of time. I always use a toner before I put this on and it helps absorb even better and why my face is so hydrated in the morning, also not oily anymore in the morning. If you’ve never use the serum before and are looking at this, make sure to put the serum on before you use any kind of heavy lotion because absorbs into your skin and the toner before that will help. Also, this is a great one if you still want to use Beauty products in the morning and are out of time or running late, this is a great serum to put on as it dries so quickly you can get out the door a lot faster too, and your face won’t be wet and you can put on make up on afterwards faster. I love the water-based or cream-based serums the best, so I’m so happy I found this one and with the list of ingredients that are in it. With this face serum, It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and works exceptional. All in all, it’s great for night and day and for after treatments all around I love it. It’s just a great beauty product to use.

With my regular beauty routine, did not do much. However, once I started adding retinol to my toner, I saw a difference without even using this serum. So I've stopped using it. It didn't really do much for me. Nevertheless, it does feel good when you put it on your skin.

This is a rich, creamy serum. It is absorbed quickly and can easily be followed with addition layers of product. But, because it leaves behind a lovely glow, it is also a great product to use alone. A quick layer of this and you will look more awake and alive and can grab a coffee and go! The ingredients are all high-quality, and the price is amazing. I am excited to add this to my regimen.

I started using this lotion after work (where I am exposed to the spray of seawater and wind part of the day). I have tried a number of different products to reduce my 'windburn' sensation, with varied success. This Cica serum helps soothe the irritated skin on parts of my face (I also apply it to the back of my hands too.) So far, so good (i.e. no reaction to the ingredients). A little goes a long way and it fully absorbed (i.e. no lingering feeling on my face). I think after a week of steady usage I am getting a bit of a protective barrier from the elements. Time will tell if the lotion helps even out those small dark spots on my nose.
