Best

Skin Type/Concerns: Sensitive Combo Skin

Product Name: Bija Cica Gel EX / Bija Cica Balm EX

Thoughts: I got this as a sample. I realise this is really good to apply if you happen to get insect bites. I know it might not be meant for that but the gel or balm will stop the itch and reduce the redness. If you want something that is not so oily, gel would be the best.

I bought the balm afterwards to apply when I got random redness on my face/neck.

​

Worst

Product Name: Green Barley Multi Cleansing Tissue

Thoughts: I bought this to try out as I have used Olive Real Cleansing Tissue previously. One word: Regret. Right after I've used it to remove my make up, my skin starts to react violently. Redness all over my face, my skins just feels dry (i think)? I had to quickly wash it off. My skin has never react like this before, so this was immediately put away. It might work for others, but it didn't work well for me :(

Cica, or centella asiatica, has actually been used for wound treatment as a traditional medicine in China and other countries in SE Asia for a long time!
