Such a Light 'Cica' [Like It]

[Culture & Life Reporter Eunji Kim] Fresh 'Cica' before makeup and before sleep!

It's not for nothing that everyone talks about Cica. Cica has become more than a necessity for sensitive skin types; it has become a 'survival item.' In these times when we have to wear masks almost all the time except when eating or sleeping, and with no chance for skin troubles to settle down, it has become an essential beauty item. However, some may feel burdened by Cica's characteristic sticky and heavy texture. For the 'Cica lovers' who want to apply it but can't, we've gathered refreshingly light Cica items perfect for summer!

Cica, not heavy at all

This summer, you’re mine!

Estra's 'ACica Stress Relief Cream Essence' is honest. It quickly and effectively soothes skin that has become suddenly sensitive due to external irritants. As the name 'Cream Essence' suggests, the texture is light. It is not the thick, greasy texture typical of Cica products. The softer the texture, the faster it absorbs. The refreshing moisture penetrates deep into the skin and finishes with a matte feel.

It spreads softly on the skin without any artificial fragrance. Unlike typical Cica products, it leaves a moist glow. After rolling with your fingers, a white film forms temporarily, which is due to the high concentration of active ingredients in the essence. Pressing gently with the palm absorbs it completely without residue.

If you want to double the effect of 'ACica Stress Relief Cream Essence,' try 'building up.' You can layer 'ACica Stress Relief Cream Essence' multiple times without feeling heavy. According to Estra, the more layers you apply, the deeper the soothing effect.

This summer, you’re my survival item♥

While 'ACica Stress Relief Cream Essence' is a fast-absorbing liquid-type Cica, Estra's 'ACica Stress Relief Treatment' is a highly concentrated Cica with long-lasting effects. It has an opaque gel texture that immediately forms a slight film upon application, protecting the skin from external irritants.

It does not feel suffocating on the skin. Rather, it feels comfortable. This is thanks to ingredients suitable for sensitive skin. 'ACica Stress Relief Treatment' has passed dermatological tests, acne-prone skin suitability tests, hypoallergenic tests, and sensitivity panel tests. It also reduces potentially irritating factors such as fragrance, pigments, silicone oils, and parabens. It is a 'trusted Cica' that leaves only what is necessary.

For skin that is quite damaged due to excessive cleansing or mask friction, it is recommended to apply 'ACica Stress Relief Cream Essence' all over the skin before sleeping and then dab 'ACica Relief Treatment' on areas needing focused care. When you look in the mirror in the morning, you will notice a clearer skin tone.

Don’t get upset, try super Cica 'toner'!

Sehwa P&C launched two products with strong soothing effects of super Cica for skin irritated by dry air and masks: 'Earthnote Super Cica Toner' and 'Earthnote Super Cica Cream.' 'Super Cica' is Earthnote's proprietary ingredient created by combining Houttuynia cordata and Cica in a golden ratio, both known for excellent skin soothing effects and strong vitality.

'Earthnote Super Cica Toner' is moist and light. It is perfect for the first step of skincare. Applying several layers makes you feel the moisture densely layered deep into the skin. After fully applying the toner on the face and patting several times, you hear a 'chop-chop' sound, creating a sticky and elastic skin texture perfect for applying cream.

'Earthnote Super Cica Toner' contains patented moisturizing ingredients that not only maintain high moisture levels inside the skin but also care for dead skin cells. To properly refine skin texture, it is recommended to use cotton pads. Instead of purified water, it contains 72% super Cica and 7 types of hyaluronic acid to soothe sensitive skin.

'Cream' for super sensitive you!

'Earthnote Super Cica Cream' is comfortable. It has a weight suitable for both oily and dry skin. It adheres softly without feeling flaky on the skin. Because the texture is light, 'Earthnote Super Cica Cream' can be used during the day as well. Although light, it does not evaporate quickly. It gently sits on the skin, providing long-lasting moisture and hydration.

According to clinical tests, 'Earthnote Super Cica Cream' helps immediately reduce redness caused by external irritants and improves the skin barrier. Skin lipid-like ingredients that strengthen the weakened skin barrier and patented moisturizing ingredients soothe skin sensitized by external factors such as fine dust and friction.

After application, you can clearly feel your skin becoming more comfortable. The texture is very light, and the product is not sticky, allowing for two to three layers of application. If you want to quickly restore your damaged skin condition, it is recommended to consistently use the combination of 'Earthnote Super Cica Toner' and 'Earthnote Super Cica Cream.'
