Rather than filling in texture, it removes dead skin cells for a sleek feeling Stays true to its primary purpose Keeps skin hydrated even after exfoliation Fragrance-free, but there's a subtle, peculiar scent reminiscent of water plants that you might notice faintly while using
ConsThis is just about my personal skin condition, but if there's even a little oil residue, I tend to get blemishes. As moisturizing as it is, there's a slight oiliness, so when I use it on days my skin isn't at its best, I might get a blemish on my nose the next day (where oil is most concentrated). That's why I don't reach for it as often these days. As you let it absorb after application, it tends to develop a sticky texture However, this stickiness disappears if you immediately apply your next emulsion
TipWarning: This is an exfoliator, so don't use it daily. Use about twice a week. If your skin becomes sensitized later, even emulsions may cause a stinging sensation

Apply it only on oily areas with whiteheads, about twice a week in the evening. Use a cotton pad and be very gentle. For dry or acne-free areas, stick to a mild peeling gel. If you have sensitive skin, avoid using it when your skin is irritated or right after extractions to prevent a breakout. For extra-sensitive skin, you can try leaving it on like a mask and then washing it off. I personally use a small amount daily with a cotton swab on problem areas like under the chin and around the nose. It's helped reduce my whiteheads significantly. Remember, don't apply it all over your face as the rubbing motion can damage your skin barrier. Be extremely gentle - it might seem effective at first, but if you're too harsh, you could end up with irritation and blemishes.
ConsI wouldn't recommend this for dry, acne-prone skin with pustules. You might think it's working at first, but you're likely to experience a breakout later. This product is best suited for combination dehydrated skin or oily skin with blackheads. Use it only on areas with excess oil production. As someone with extremely oily skin, I find that BHA doesn't work well for me - it's sticky and actually causes more blemishes. AHA, on the other hand, works great for my skin type.

It just helped clear away some impurities.
ConsI guess this product doesn't suit me... Every time I used it, I noticed a few more blemishes appearing.
TipPersonally, I found Krave Beauty's Kale-Lalu-yAHA to be more effective at removing dead skin cells and also had a soothing effect compared to this product.

I have dehydrated skin and usually struggle with blackheads, whiteheads, and dead skin cells. I discovered this product while browsing COSRX items. The reviews were good, with many people seeing great results for whiteheads, so I decided to buy it. I've been using it for over a month now. -Scent It's almost fragrance-free, so even those sensitive to scents should be able to use it well. -Application It's a water-type essence, slightly thicker than toner but not by much. It applies smoothly and absorbs well without any stickiness. -Effectiveness I only applied it to areas with whiteheads - my T-zone and chin (under the lips). While I didn't see much effect on blackheads, I feel like my whiteheads have somewhat diminished. The bumpy texture under my lips and on my chin that used to catch has definitely become smoother!
ConsI didn't see much effect on dead skin cells or blackheads. Also, as I have sensitive skin, I'm not sure if it's because of this product, but occasionally I notice some redness and small blemishes popping up. This makes me a bit worried about applying it all over my face, so I tend to avoid using it extensively.

ConsEvery time I use it, I feel a stinging sensation and keep getting blemishes. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to agree with my skin

To see its effects, I applied only this product after using an exfoliating toner before bed.
ConsThe next day, I woke up with a massive, volcano-like blemish on my cheek. It looked inflamed and felt like it was festering deep under the skin. It was so prominent that it could hardly be called a pimple - more like a giant protrusion on my cheek. Moreover, it had no effect on my existing blemishes or small bumps. As it contains AHA, it seems to only help with minimal texture refinement in the T-zone.

There was a slight 'Hmm, is this okay?' feeling, but I thought it was just part of how the product works.
ConsMy skin had improved a lot since I first used it, so I carelessly applied it all over my face after showering. Suddenly, it felt like I'd applied alcohol - it stung so much! I was shocked and thought 'What's going on?' As I touched my burning cheeks, it felt like tiny needles pricking different areas. Worried about potential blemishes, I quickly washed it off. I guess my super sensitive skin reacted differently this time, which was quite surprising compared to my initial experience.
TipAfter rinsing it off with water, I didn't experience any more tingling or breakouts.

It stings a bit, but I feel that's a sign of dead skin cells being removed. It's like I can feel my skin becoming cleaner. With continued use, my complexion has brightened, and the flaking that used to occur when applying makeup has been reduced. I'm even using it in place of toner!
ConsI'm hesitant to recommend this to those with super sensitive skin. The irritation is quite strong... While it's effective for me, even I experienced some blemishes appearing on my philtrum and other delicate areas.
TipTry using it instead of toner at night. I don't recommend using it in the morning. Avoid applying it to sensitive areas.
