MEDIHEAL Philosoft XP [Mild Shot]

I feel like everything is neatly organized and the blemishes seem to be disappearing.

The fragrance is a bit lacking though 😞 It's also a bit irritating. I have no intention to repurchase.

I've been using the cotton bud-type exfoliator from It's Skin for a while, but it's been discontinued ㅠ So I used the Hwahae Trial Reviewer-type peeling for a while, but it was irritating to my skin and didn't exfoliate well.. Then I discovered this product and tried it once..and the results were amazing! The left side of my forehead had clogged pores and acne that would come and go, and my skin was covered in flaky dead skin. But the next morning after using it, I was amazed at how smooth my skin felt, and when I was doing my makeup, I was surprised at how well the makeup applied. I have an extremely sensitive, combination skin type. Except in the winter, I have a lot of oil and my pores are wide open on my nose, cheeks, and chin, so blackhead management is essential for me. For a skin like mine, BHA is a must in addition to AHA! For dry skin, I'd recommend using just AHA without BHA. Acne that comes from deep within the skin will still come up even after using this. That won't be resolved unless you reduce sebum production... But the clogged pore acne on the surface doesn't seem to come up after using this. The blackheads start to show effects after 3-4 uses. It's not very noticeable after just 1-2 uses.

The smell is a bit..ㅠ And the acidity itself is naturally irritating to the skin. And the cotton bud is bigger than the opening of the container, so it's hard to get in. When I pushed it in and soaked it, the stick would sometimes just slip out ㅠ It would be more convenient and better if it was packaged like It's Skin, with each cotton bud pre-soaked in the solution.

Rather than rubbing for 3-5 seconds, just lightly apply the solution on the cotton bud. Gently spread it and then immediately apply a soothing cream. Then the next morning, your makeup will apply amazingly well. Don't use it if you have active acne or skin injuries. If it stings, apply a soothing cream and do a light ice pack, and it'll calm down quickly.
