The product has a relatively strong propolis scent, so it may be difficult to use if you are sensitive to fragrances.

This is a must-have product that was recommended to me at an esthetic salon!!
It is a spot cream that contains propolis and helps soothe and calm troubled skin. Although it comes in a small 10g size, a little goes a long way, so one purchase lasts quite a while.
It contains niacinamide, which helps brighten reddened, troubled areas, and propolis has anti-inflammatory properties, so when you dab it directly on emerging pimples, it quickly calms them down. The product has a typical ointment texture and a slightly strong propolis scent.
While it may not be very effective on already enlarged pimples, when applied thinly on areas just starting to break out or on small blemishes, I've seen noticeable improvement by the next day.

피에이치 밸런싱 프로폴리스 스팟 크림

Applying it with a cotton swab seems to feel even better.

The fragrance has a slightly pungent aroma, so it would be best to apply it before bedtime.

When trouble arises, I apply it and it calms down and settles, so I use it frequently!

Using it daily on acne-prone skin won't be effective, so you should use it like Madecassol!

The freshly squeezed pimple seems to have a good calming effect.

When you're about to get a pimple, just apply it right after cleansing, when your skin is still damp

I think I might be sensitive to it?
The amount is a bit small
Next time I'll try the ampoule version

It's a great must-have product
You should definitely buy it
It's sold on Naver Shopping and at dermatology clinics too

I used it for the pimples that would come up on my chin before and after my period. I would carry it around and apply it periodically, and the pimples would go down quickly.

There wasn't really anything bad. I used it when I had pimples on my body, and it didn't seem too strong. The only thing is the online price fluctuates a lot... The regular price is 12,000 won, so it's fine to buy it for less than that.

If you keep applying it when you have a pimple, the pimple will really go away quickly. It's not a dry, cracked formula like a regular acne cream, so you can use it before and after makeup. It's a product I keep on hand and use.

The disappointing thing is that the size is only 10g, which is too small ㅠ

I had been applying it for a few days due to the acne on my forehead, and the acne has subsided a lot.
I should have used this earlier!!

The effects aren't immediate, and sometimes it causes tiny bumps to appear, though I'm not sure if that's due to the ointment. Some people have also mentioned that the scent isn't great, but I found it to be fine.

I've been using this product based on the recommendation from a dermatologist!
I often have breakouts due to seborrheic dermatitis and oily skin, but applying it morning and evening seems to prevent my skin from getting worse, so I've been using it without any major issues.

The smell is really foul, but I'm gradually getting used to it haha. Humans are adaptable creatures after all.

Although it's only the second day, the redness has already subsided a lot and the inflammatory pain has decreased as well. I plan to continue using it consistently going forward.

I recommend using it only on inflammatory acne!

It's not very effective on closed comedones or regular acne. If you apply it too thickly, it can feel irritating.

It has a soothing effect on inflammatory acne. It doesn't make it disappear overnight, but if you apply it consistently, you'll feel it subsiding.

Don't press it down all at once, let it come out slowly like a flowing spring.
This is the real pro-tip, so go get it right away!

The propolis smell is quite strong initially, but it's manageable once you get used to it.
Be careful not to squeeze it all out at once, or else you'll experience a propolis explosion. 
The quantity is too less. I usually buy 3 at a time from Naver, costing around 8,000 won including shipping.
After using it for a while, I feel like I'm developing some resistance to it, as the initial effects are not as prominent anymore.

I had to search multiple times to find the product when I was going through some unexplainable skin troubles.
I would even want to give it a big kiss (haha) as it helped calm down most of my troubles after using it just once or twice. It has now become a repurchase item for me.

I personally feel that it works better when applied after the pus has dried up, rather than when the area is still oozing. Of course, continuously applying it on the oozing area would also help, but in my experience, yes.
Except for a couple of stubborn spots, the rest have just left behind scars. I keep applying it on the scars, but the fading process seems to take a long time, perhaps due to mixing with other skincare products. Also, the fading doesn't seem to work as well for deeper scars.
