I purchased the Mentholatum Acnes Gel based on my friend's recommendation for treating closed comedones. I don't usually have severe breakouts, just a few small ones, but a few days ago I got a slightly larger pimple and about 2 acne spots, so I started using this gel. 1. It has a cooling sensation. My skin was really irritated from improper cleansing, so when I applied this to my acne, it felt soothing and calming. 2. It clears acne. I've seen results from using this product, which is rare for me with acne treatments. Since I only have closed comedones, I'm not sure how effective it would be for severe, cystic acne. 3. The amount is generous. One purchase lasts me over 6 months. It's also reasonably priced at around 12,000 won. It used to be sold at Olive Young, but the brand seems to have disappeared lately.
Cons1. As an acne treatment product, the fact that it contains 7 irritating ingredients is a bit concerning. Personally, I didn't experience any pain, itchiness or stinging, but sensitive skin types should be cautious. 2. When applied, this gel can clump up and leave a white, powdery residue that flakes off. And if applied too thickly, it can peel off like dead skin. 3. If accidentally applied to open acne or pimple wounds, it can be very painful and stinging. I once mistakenly put it on a popped pimple, and my face just burned and hurt so much.
TipApplying it with a cotton swab is more convenient! And since it's a gel, wearing a headband while sleeping can prevent it from getting stuck in your hair. If you have closed comedones, definitely give this a try. It's affordable considering the amount, and it really helps clear up all my acne. This is a holy grail product for me!

But the effect was better than expected, and the trouble also seemed to subside faster than Meebev! It's much cheaper and I'm completely satisfied with the product. Especially, I don't know if it's just me, but the unique cooling sensation was really good.
ConsHmm, the quantity? Except for the fact that the quantity is a bit small compared to the price, it seems to be a good product haha.
TipI always finish my basic skincare routine and apply this at the end! After evening cleansing and completing my basic skincare, I dab it on the troubled areas and the next day, the trouble is gone haha.

The pimple subsides quickly. And the pimple core (contents?) is painlessly extracted. It's amazing.
ConsWhen applied after makeup, it peels off the makeup like a film!!!!
TipIf you apply it to the painful pimple from time to time, you can prevent the situation where you keep touching it with your hands and making it unsightly.

However, it seems to be effective only for inflammatory acne.
ConsFor me, who has problems with milia, it had no particular effect other than on the suppurative inflammatory type.

ConsAside from the cooling sensation, I didn't see much effect on my acne.
TipJust apply it thinly.

The quantity is really a lot. I tend to have more closed comedones than inflammatory acne, but after using this product consistently, I gradually started seeing the effects, and now my acne is almost gone. It also has a cooling effect when applied to itchy or reddened areas, which felt refreshing. I will definitely repurchase this product.
ConsI don't think there are any downsides for me personally!!!
TipIf you want to apply it all over your face, you can mix it with a cream or lotion. And if you want to apply it to specific areas, you can just apply it directly.

If you apply it to the acne area before bed and sleep, the redness is noticeably reduced in the morning!! Thanks to this, the unsightly pimples have almost disappeared after applying it consistently for 7 days!!
ConsTo be honest, there's not much to complain about, but it would be great if there was a larger size available, and the price is a bit high,,
TipYou only need to use an extremely small amount, it's more than enough!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis seems to have different effects depending on when you use it. For one, it does help reduce my acne a bit. The cooling effect is good, and personally I don't think the scent is too overpowering. Older sister Alli recommended it, and the price was reasonable, so I bought it. It's just generally good to use when my acne is particularly bad.
ConsIt's hard to control the amount. When I accidentally squeeze out too much at once (regret), and then apply a lot at night, there's a lot of excess oil and residue left in the morning (maybe because I'm a teenager).
TipIt's good to apply it to the affected areas with a cotton swab and let it absorb properly! Personally, I like the routine of doing a soothing pack, then the Acnes spot treatment, and then applying it before bed. If you do this pattern and sleep, it works well. Ah, but if you use it too often, you can build up an immunity to it.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAfter squeezing out pimples, applying it generously and sleeping helped with the soothing effect! I've used it occasionally on my occasional pimples! It doesn't seem to be effective on acne scars or things that have been there for a while. There's a cooling sensation right after applying it, which I liked. Also, when you apply it, there's a stinging feeling, and it feels like you're applying medicine and it's working, so I personally liked it. It's in a tube form, and just squeezing it out and applying it is convenient. I've also tried the powder type and the pink powder solution you shake, but they were all inconvenient. And the amount is quite generous, and I think I got a good deal when I bought it on a 1+1 sale at Olive Young. It's not a dramatic effect, but it seems to have a pretty big effect on freshly popped pimples!! After squeezing, applying, and waking up, the pimples have calmed down enough for me to apply foundation.
ConsAfter applying, it doesn't absorb, and if you accidentally touch it, it peels off like dirt and gets all over your hands... When I first started using it, it was really, really inconvenient, and my hands didn't want to go near it, but now I've gotten used to it, and I don't apply it to the areas I can easily touch. So it's fine. If you only apply it for a short time, there's no effect. You have to apply it and sleep or leave it on for a few hours for it to be effective. The effect isn't that big. It just reduces the puffiness a bit... It doesn't drastically reduce or eliminate the pimples. I'd say it's just a moderate effect. I think some people might not see any effect at all.
TipI like to squeeze out the suddenly appearing pimples and apply this generously, covering them, and then sleep. It really helps calm them down! Also, if you apply it to the areas that feel like they're about to erupt, it has a slightly warming sensation and helps them subside a bit! In areas where your hands touch a lot (for example, the area under your nose where you sweat a lot in the summer - it just makes them disappear. Also, on the cheek area, it gets wiped off on the pillow and goes away...) don't apply it, as it's useless. Everyone, apply it generously, generously, and sleep!

After applying it, I felt a refreshing and soothing sensation. And after using it twice a day for two days, my acne just disappeared!
ConsWhen I tried to apply it, it turned into powder the next day...
TipIf you apply it with a cotton swab, you can experience a cooling sensation as if it was just taken out of the refrigerator!
