When I applied it to my face, diluted half-and-half with a hydrating toner, I could definitely feel my skin texture becoming smoother the next day!
ConsThe liquid concentrate itself can be very irritating for sensitive skin. When used as an exfoliating toner for immediate results, I noticed some areas of my skin became tingly, red, and itchy.
TipRather than using the liquid alone from the start, I recommend diluting it with a water-based toner. Begin by patting it gently onto the skin. If that feels okay, you can try using the diluted version as an exfoliating toner. For those with super sensitive skin, I think using it once a week is suitable. For other skin types, twice a week should be appropriate!

Apply it for 2-3 days on those stubborn, painful pimples that won't come out when squeezed, and they'll become much easier to deal with.
ConsIt stings, it really stings! And I'm not sure if it actually helps with whiteheads.
TipGently dab the product onto blemish-prone areas using a cotton pad.

It contains niacinamide, a whitening ingredient, which seems to be the reason for its effective brightening results.
ConsI don't think this product agrees with my skin. When I used it, my skin felt slightly itchy and had a tingling sensation. There must be some ingredient that doesn't suit my skin type. The tiny blemishes were also an issue. I bought this expecting it to eliminate my whiteheads because of its name, but it didn't remove any. Instead, my skin seemed to worsen, which was really disappointing. Also, the taste is strange. Inevitably, when applying something to your skin, it gets on your lips too, and this has a really odd taste. Products with salicylic acid often have a vinegar-like taste, and this seems similar.

My recent interest in skincare has led me to try separate night and morning care routines. That's when I discovered this product! Skin condition: Chronic milia, dehydrated, dry U-zone, combination T-zone, sensitive skin. Throughout my 20s, I couldn't use cream-based cosmetics as they didn't suit my skin. Face oils caused breakouts, so I absolutely avoid products containing oils. Pros: Effective on whiteheads & blackheads: On the second day of use, the whitehead-prone area around my nose felt tingly, then itchy as it subsided. When I gently scratched with a cotton swab, the whiteheads just fell off! I stopped to avoid irritation and applied a soothing gel. After a week of use (4 applications with a day's break in between), my nose blackheads visibly diminished... amazing! Skin texture: This is truly the best! The improvement in skin texture is no joke. You can feel the difference immediately when applying makeup the next day. Slight reduction in milia: After 4 uses, I noticed a difference. My bumpy skin became much smoother. I'm already satisfied, though I'll need to use it more. Texture: I was really worried about this aspect. A YouTuber described it as having a sticky, mucus-like texture similar to snail cream, which made me hesitate (I dislike that texture and had a bad reaction to snail cream before). But it's not like that at all! They call it an essence, but it's more like a watery toner. It absorbs well with almost no stickiness. Maybe they meant watery mucus...? ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Update 2020.07.13: I'm removing one star. This product is good. I'll probably always keep it stocked as I'd feel anxious without it. I'm currently on my 4.5th bottle. However, I used it in my nightly routine, and as expected, AHA/BHA can be irritating. I strongly advise against daily use - it can wreak havoc on your skin like it did mine. It's great for controlling sebum and whiteheads. But using it too frequently can damage your skin barrier, which is hard to repair. I've always had milia, but mainly on my cheeks and chin, rarely on my forehead. Now, for the first time ever, my forehead is covered in milia, it's stinging, I have folliculitis, and my skin peels at the slightest touch. This is definitely not for daily use! I've temporarily stopped using it and switched to other products. My skin is slowly improving.
ConsCons: It's irritating The stinging sensation, especially during the first two days of use, was intense. When it subsided, the itching was unbearable. It wasn't all over my face, just around my nose, philtrum, and chin areas. Interestingly, these were the areas with the most blackheads and whiteheads. By the third use, I wondered why it wasn't stinging or itching anymore. Perhaps I adapted quickly? Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes or redness. Still, I'm deducting one star for the initial stinging sensation.
TipThere are differing opinions on whether it's better to pat it on with your hands or use a cotton pad. I do both... I use a cotton pad first, then pat it in with my hands... (amateur beauty tip)

I was a bit worried after seeing some reviews mentioning a tingling sensation, but even with my super sensitive skin, I didn't feel much irritation. I've been using it consistently for about three months now, and I haven't experienced any blemishes. My skin tends to develop small bumps quickly if I'm not careful, but by using this product every evening - either wiping it off with a cotton pad or applying a thin layer and letting it absorb - my skin has remained calm!
ConsThe scent isn't particularly pleasant, and in my case, there's a slight itchy feeling right after application. Other than that, I didn't notice any major drawbacks.

My skin feels smooth and looks cleaner. Comparing the ingredients, I noticed these two are quite similar.
ConsWhile I had no issues with toner-type products, COSRX's slightly viscous products (essence or cream textures) make my skin feel itchy when applied. Although it didn't cause blemishes, the itchiness makes me feel like they might appear soon, so I'm hesitant to continue using it. Also, due to its viscous nature, it's not really suitable for use with cotton pads for wiping. If you don't use enough, it feels a bit rough when wiping.
TipIf you want a fresh, matte feeling, go for the toner-type product. If you're looking for a bit of hydration, this product might be a good choice.
