maliaperks review for Cica Care Balm

At first I thought that the texture’s going to be balmy but it’s actually more like a cream & spreads really well. It has a very subtle pink color due to the Calamine, an ingredient that is known to relieve pain, itching as well as skin irritations. I use the balm as a moisturizer in the AM, sometimes also in the PM but mostly during daytime because I love how it feels on the skin. I thought it was going to pill if I apply another product after, but it doesn’t. 🎉 And yes, true to its claim, it does control sebum! Because of a recent SPF controversy, I was back to using a really dewy sunscreen but the Cica Care Balm helps control the shine. I feel that I am a lot less oily compared to when I wasn’t using this yet. It’s totally lightweight & would work really great for oily gals like me. The balm is also definitely calming. While I still have several active acne now, this balm definitely helped calm my skin, albeit slowly, and is working well with other Cica products. I am yet to see its effects on acne scars and hyperpigmentation, which is reasonable since it’s been less than a month & because I tend to get the really stubborn zits. I’m excited to keep using this & will def share an updated review. 🤗
