I was worried about the sebum clogged in my pores, but I was able to effectively remove it.

The strong impact may have widened my pores.

My once-healthy skin has been bombarded with all kinds of skin troubles, including acne and whiteheads, since I started living abroad as an international student. I heard that exfoliating is essential, even if you use face masks, if you don't remove dead skin cells. So I looked around for products available here and tried one, and while I haven't used many exfoliators before, I think this one is pretty good. Some say it's not that gentle to use as a daily scrub, but I personally like the refreshing feeling I get after scrubbing, as I feel like I haven't really exfoliated if I don't get that sensation. The fact that you can just massage it on your face right after washing, while your skin is still damp, makes it quick and easy to use, which I really appreciate. Even the stubborn whiteheads I've been struggling with have become noticeably better after using this scrub.

On the days when I scrub quite vigorously and for a long time, my face does sting a bit when I apply a serum during my basic skincare routine afterwards. But the stinging goes away quickly if I just gently spread the serum over my face. There's no redness or other issues. I think it's mostly due to the serum ingredients.

I wouldn't exactly call this a 'pro tip', but I'd recommend using this scrub as a weekly or bi-weekly treatment, rather than a daily one.
