You can really feel how calming this face wash is. The scent is cool and refreshing. I just became a fan of fresh and natural skin care products, so for me, this is a good start. I haven't tried anything cica before, but this product left me with a good impression of cicas. The consistency is okay, as most face gels are like this. Its smell lives up to its claims too. It's very nature-like. When pouring a good amount of it, it bubbles really fast. I have sensitive and semi-dry skin, so I think this really did its job of assessing my facial skin needs. It's a must-have.
