What is the difference between general anti-aging and early anti-aging?
General anti-aging focuses on addressing already developed wrinkles and loss of elasticity using high-concentration products, while early anti-aging skincare is composed of ingredients that concentrate on managing early-stage wrinkles and fine lines and proactively preventing future wrinkles.
What makes early anti-aging easier and more effective?
Early anti-aging is easier and more effective because it leverages gentler, preventative strategies that keep the skin healthy and youthful from the outset, rather than requiring intensive and potentially irritating corrective measures once aging has advanced.
How does this product differ from those containing retinoids?
The ingredients in the Cica+Niacinamide serum are formulated for early anti-aging, focusing on the initial stages of skin aging. Unlike retinoid-based products, this serum is composed of gentle ingredients that can be used daily by anyone without an adaptation period or irritation.
What is the early skin aging stage, and what period does it refer to?
It generally refers to the 20s and 30s age range. After that, the 40s to mid-50s are considered the mid-stage, while beyond the mid-50s is referred to as the advanced stage. Each stage requires the use of products that are optimized for its specific needs.
I am in my 40s; can I still use this product?
Sure. Even in your 40s or 50s, you can be vulnerable to early wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. The best approach is to use the Cica + Niacinamide Serum as a daily serum for general skin care. For areas where deeper wrinkles have already developed, it’s most effective to use retinoids in targeted applications. This combination allows for a comprehensive anti-aging routine that addresses both prevention and treatment.
Is this serum suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes, it is lightweight, non-sticky, and does not contain pore-clogging ingredients.
Can I use this serum if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, all ingredients are EWG Green-rated, and it has passed clinical tests for suitability on sensitive skin. It is also rated 'Excellent' for sensitive skin by dermatologists.
When should I use this product?
Use it in both your AM and PM routines, applying it after cleansing and before your moisturizer. If you use a toner, apply it between the toner and moisturizer steps.

I like everything about this +REAL Cica + Niacinamide Serum! Just like most of the Korean beauty skin care I have tried, this is another well formulated, gentle and effective product. It is unscented and fast absorbing, huge pluses for me. It also feels very soothing if your skin is irritated. I used it after using a peel product and it calmed my skin’s redness quickly. Because it also contains niacinamide, this is an excellent morning product to use if you have any hyperpigmentation. This serum is not at all oily, which would make it a great product to use if you are calming the redness from acne as well as trying to fade acne scars. I have mature skin, though, and I enjoy using this, so I would consider this suitable for just about any skin type. I like that it doesn’t add any oil to the skin because I have certain moisturizers I would rather use daily, in addition to serums. The packaging is top notch. It comes in a gray opaque bottle to keep the active ingredient stable. The dropper is even nicer than usual. I find the price so reasonable. I have already worked this into my daily routine, and I highly recommend this quality serum.
The combination of niacinamide (vitamin B3) and cica (Centella asiatica or gotu kola) is a well-established one for brightening skin, reducing redness and soothing irritation. After using this particular cica + niacinamide serum daily for nearly a month as part of my skin care routine, I'm happy with the results. I have mature skin that tends toward redness and dryness, and using this serum as a first layer after cleansing and before applying moisturizer in the morning has helped keep my sensitive skin smooth and bright.
The serum is unscented (a plus from my perspective), the bottle it's packaged in is primo, and the price is very reasonable considering that just a few drops a day is all you need.
I love the texture and plumpness of this lightweight serum, super hydrating and no irritation or breakouts, my overall skin texture become smoother and my fine lines and early wrinkles visibly faded. Gonna repurchase it :)
I saw this product's ads on instagram and I have purchased it. the delivery was fast and it has arrvied within 3 days. and the result was AMAZING. they soothed and healed my irritated skin by the sunburn during my vacation, and now I'm feeling much comfortable and soothing.

Definately worths trying. this is my life saver!!!!!
