After pre-shampooing, it lathers well and doesn't leave too much oiliness. There are no major drawbacks, but it also doesn't have enough merits to make me want to repurchase it. 🔆 The pink one seems more oily compared to the other products (green, black).
ConsSince it's a shampoo bar, the lather is less than liquid shampoos. It works much better if you pre-shampoo.

ConsIt's really difficult to manage without it breaking, as it gets very soft.

So I applied for the Cica Pink Bar instead of Cica, and tested it from the perspective of the soap's functionality rather than comparing it to other calamine-containing cosmetics. The good points are! 1) The scent is subtle and not overbearing! 2) When using it as a shampoo, there may be a slightly stiff feeling, but I focused on cleansing the scalp, and I was pleased that my scalp felt thoroughly cleansed. 3) A soap dish is included, so you can freely attach and detach the soap. Since it has less contact with water, the rate at which the volume decreases is slower, so it's an advantage that you can use it for longer.
ConsIf the focus is on the multi-soap function~! It's not that cleansing power is particularly strong. Since calamine is included, it helps soothe the skin and is good for troubled skin, but if you're just thinking of a simple soap, it would be better to use a cheaper regular Dove White Bar.

After washing, my skin is not sticky or squeaky, but rather soft and clean.
ConsWhen used on the hair, it can make the hair a bit stiff. The formula is a bit loose, so a large amount melts away with each use, leading to significant waste. The price set for the volume and performance is a bit high.
TipMany reviews mention that the product dries out excessively when using the included stand, so I've been storing it in a covered soap dish separately, which allows it to dry just the right amount - it works well that way.

The refreshing feeling during cleansing was pleasant. ✔️Cleansing Power: As a natural soap, there is not too much tightness, but a single cleanse is not enough. In my case, I found it best to use it as a second cleanse after an initial cleanse with a cleansing oil. ✔️Lather: As a natural soap, the lather forms well. The included lather net also worked great, but even just using your hands can create a nice lather. ✔️Irritation: I typically only use mild acidic cleansers, and this product was also gentle, with almost no irritation. ✔️Packaging: The color and design are stylish, making it a great gift option.
Cons✔️As a natural soap, it does tend to become soft, which is unavoidable. I've tried a few other natural soaps, and the Serenedoctor one felt a bit softer. If you just place it on a regular soap dish, it'll likely be half used and half wasted, so I'd recommend using the holder that came with it.
Tip✔️For a deeper cleanse, you can work up a generous lather in the lather net and leave it on your face for 1-2 minutes before rinsing. Just be sure to use only a small amount of water to create the thick, creamy lather.

No need for conditioner!! -But the cleansing power on the scalp is really good!! -It has a soft, clean feeling like a foam cleanser!! -It's inexpensive!! -It looks really nice sitting in the bathroom ㅎㅎ 👩🏻🦰My opinion: Personally, I have a dry scalp, but I've always found shampoos that are too moisturizing or have a lot of functions to be lacking in cleansing power. ㅜㅜ I do like that refreshing, squeaky-clean feeling after a shower, but those kinds of shampoos tend to dry out my hair and make it unmanageable. But this one is amazing - it cleanses the scalp thoroughly while keeping the hair soft! You can just massage it into your hair without much effort, and the lather comes up easily and even better than pumping the shampoo directly. And the price is lower than I expected, so I plan to repurchase as soon as I run out! Among similar price range shampoos, this is personally the best match for me. Ah, but the lather is so good that it gets used up quickly, which is a bit of a shame. ㅜㅜ 👵🏼Family's opinion: Since my hair is on the shorter side, I didn't notice a huge difference in hair texture, but I've been struggling with dandruff lately, and I started to see a subtle improvement after using this shampoo consistently for a few days. I had been switching between 10 different shampoos to deal with the flakiness, but after my daughter recommended this one and I used it for a few days, the dandruff started decreasing from the 2-3 day mark, she said.
ConsCons (common): -Since it's a shampoo bar, it's different from the usual pumping shampoos, so adjusting the amount takes some getting used to at first.. -Because of that, it gets used up really quickly ㅜㅜ -It's simple to use, but if you're not used to it, it can be a bit of a hassle..
Tip-Additional comments- Overall, as I mentioned before, I'm really satisfied with the price range, and I think it's a product that has balanced the scalp and hair texture really well. When something leans too much to one side, one of the two usually ends up being a downside.. but the technology behind this is really amazing - how is it possible to make the scalp squeaky clean while keeping the hair soft and smooth? ㅋㅋㅋ I had tried shampoo bars from Lush before, but the bathroom would get so messy, so I stopped using them completely. But since they included a dedicated dispenser, I can use it cleanly, which I really appreciate!!! 👍Overall Evaluation Among shampoos in the same price range, this is the most balanced and clean one that suits my preferences! A product that can take care of the scalp and hair texture at the same time Recommended for oily scalp, dandruff scalp It removes the excess oil while replenishing moisture But extremely damaged hair can't achieve the same effect as using a conditioner with this ㅜ Just a soft, moisturizing shampoo-level of moisture and shine ⭐️Since it's a moisturizing product, I've been letting it sit for about 2 minutes after shampooing and rinsing, and I really like the refreshed, well-moisturized feeling!⭐️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I immediately ordered 3 more after using it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The calming lavender aroma was so pleasant. The soap's light pink color also looked gentle and beautiful. As soon as I used it, I was amazed by how well it lathered. After letting it sit for about 3 minutes, I rinsed it off, and the squeaky clean feeling was unlike anything I've experienced before. It felt deeply cleansing, leaving my scalp feeling refreshed and oil-free, unlike my regular shampoo. I definitely want to continue purchasing this product, especially for the summer. I think this would be great for people with oily scalps and short hair. This is a product I'm willing to spend my own money on - it's truly an amazing product that impresses me every time I wash my hair.
ConsWhen I only used the shampoo, my hair felt quite stiff and dry, so the conditioner is essential.

I was really worried about using shampoo when I was diagnosed with seborrheic scalp at the dermatologist, but this product didn't cause any issues with my scalp even when I used it daily or skipped a day. I used it with great satisfaction, and I would consider buying it again once I finish my current shampoo!
ConsIt feels like it's running out a bit too quickly...My hair is thick and long, but it still feels like it's running out a bit too fast.
TipIt's also fine to use on the body haha but it's a shame to use it that way. Lather it up as a pre-shampoo, then leave it on for a bit before rinsing.

TipThe included loofah can be used to create a luxurious lather when rubbing it together with the soap on your hair!!!!!

However, the waterproof eyeliner didn't come off completely, so I had to do some spot cleaning. - Fragrance: The lemon oil fragrance is refreshing and pleasant, so I don't think there will be any strong likes or dislikes. - Finish: I usually use cleansing oil for my skincare routine, but I never liked the slippery feeling after cleansing. As a dry skin type, I thought a matte finish would be better, so I just used cleansing oil. But this pink bar left my skin feeling moisturized and without any tightness, which I really liked. I think I'll continue using this for my cleansing. My husband usually showers with regular soap, and he says he likes the squeaky clean feeling, so he doesn't use the body wash I recommend. But I told him to try this one, and he said it's great, especially for the winter season because it's so moisturizing. I felt proud that I could recommend a good product to him.
ConsSince it's a soap, it seems to get soft and wear out quickly, which is a bit disappointing.
TipWhen purchasing the product, keep it in the mesh bag provided and hang it in a well-ventilated area to air dry, which is better for the product.
