Pros
I tried chemical peeling for the first time and it's amazing, it really suits me well...My skin texture has changed, seriously...My acne has also reduced a lot. Those of you who take care of your skin, you should try this. It's also easy to use. Just soak a cotton swab and gently rub it on your face, that's it. You don't even need to rinse it off with water!
Cons
It stings a little when applying. The smell is no joke ㅋ
Tip
🚫 Absolutely do not use it on irritated skin.🚫 The product itself is also irritating. I recommend using it on a weekend morning when you have no plans, on skin that has some oiliness. Be sure to do a small skin test before application. And avoid sun exposure after the peeling.

Pros
Even though I have dry skin, my face definitely feels smooth and soft after using this product.
Cons
The only downside is that the scent is not very pleasant, and it stings a bit at first, but other than that, there are no issues.

Pros
After working all day with heavy makeup, my skin gradually became combination skin and I started getting milia. I went to a dermatologist and had extractions and aqua peels done, but the effects only lasted a few days, so I felt like I was wasting money! While searching online, I saw that olive* oil was said to be effective for milia, so I bought the 7% and 9% versions when they were on sale. The reviews were so good that I was skeptical, but I was shocked to see the effects right after applying it! I soaked a cotton swab and applied it evenly all over my bare face, and after 5 minutes, the pores on my nose were miraculously clear...it was like a fried egg effect, and my skin became so smooth and glowy. When I woke up the next day, the small milia were almost gone. After using this, I don't even need to exfoliate anymore.
Cons
The effects last about 2-3 days. Since I tend to wear heavy makeup, the milia come back if I don't use it consistently. The effects are so good that I'm worried it might be irritating to my skin! If you have sensitive skin, you should test it out and use it carefully.
Tip
I also found this while searching on Naver, and I think the effects are doubled when used with a sheet mask. And after using this, if I roll my face with a cleansing oil the next day, the sebum seems to come out more easily than usual.

Pros
It felt like it was melting the sebum from within the skin, rather than just physically exfoliating the skin. It was extremely effective for the small bumps under the eyes, forehead bumps, and other types of milia. It really helped improve the skin texture!!!!
Cons
I was worried it would sting so much that it would peel off my skin every time I used it, but if I apply a face mask right after using it, the stinging is less intense and it doesn't peel off my skin!

Pros
I'm glad my sensitive skin didn't get irritated. After the peeling, my skin texture became smoother and the bumps went away. I'll definitely repurchase this product!
Cons
It stung and burned, and the fragrance was not great. I was really worried it would irritate my skin. Sensitive skin types should be cautious with this.
Tip
I applied aloe vera gel a few times as a soothing treatment and fanned my face, which helped reduce the heat sensation. I was able to sleep well. If you're worried about irritation, make sure to use a gentle, soothing cream or product you know works well for your skin beforehand.

Pros
Exfoliating is the best! My skin looks so much brighter the next day when I put on makeup.
Cons
The smell.... Oh my god, the smell is just unbearable ㅜㅜ Why does my skin feel so slippery after using this and then applying a moisturizer?

Pros
Trouble enters and pores shrink. The skin texture becomes soft. The makeup applies well the next day.
Cons
Slightly unpleasant odor. A slight stinging sensation in the troubled areas. It would be better if there were more cotton swabs left in the solution.
Tip
Use the remaining solution by applying it to cotton pads or swabs. After using this, apply the 23 years old cream and see a whole new world the next day. Since it's drying, you must apply a generous amount of moisturizer.

Pros
It's gentler than the red bottle, so it suits my skin better After gently rubbing it in, the scent may not be great, but my skin feels smooth and soft.
Cons
The scent is still... This is my first time using a product like this, so I'm not sure about the scent of other products, but the smell is quite unpleasant, to the point where I have to wipe it off with toner.
Tip
At first, I rubbed it in too hard and got a slight breakout, but don't be too eager and think it's a waste - even just using it once or twice a day is good.

Pros
The coarse pebble-like texture or millet-like grains seem to hold well. My skin has become incredibly rough recently, but after using this, the dead skin was cleared up and the rough texture of my skin was resolved all at once. I plan to observe it for another week, but it feels like a powerful prescription, and if I use it while taking long breaks in between, I think it will become a holy grail product. I'm very satisfied. ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Cons
For sensitive skin, it's like rat poison... It stings and makes the skin even more sensitive.
Tip
Be sure to apply sunscreen thickly and thoroughly. I think it would be even worse to use it when your skin condition is poor. Around the time of your period, when you see dead skin cells coming up, or around the end of your period when your skin is recovering, that would be a good time to try it.

Pros
I bought it because it was on sale at Olive Young~ These days, AHA and BHA ingredients are more popular than peeling products, right? But my skin is very sensitive, so AHA and BHA might not suit me. I was hesitant to buy an expensive product, but this Philosophy cotton swab product has AHA and BHA ingredients and was only 3,900 won on sale, so I thought I'd try it and throw it away if it didn't work... Wow.....I've discovered a whole new world of exfoliation! At first, I wondered if this was really exfoliating, but the next morning, the big pimples on my face had calmed down and the pain was much less (the pimples were so painful to touch the day before). When I touch my face, it feels so smooth and polished, and the small bumpy acne has disappeared! I think I understand now why people are so crazy about AHA and BHA. Before, I tried a 5% AHA cream sample from Nakeup Face, but my face hurt, got red, and I even got more breakouts, so I wondered why AHA was supposed to be good. But this product didn't cause any of that, and it was great. I guess it depends on the cosmetics brand. Anyway, I'm completely satisfied!! I love Mediheal (their sheet masks are amazing too)
Cons
The smell....uh...hmm... The reviews and blog posts said the smell was really strong, so I wondered how bad it could be. It has a vinegar-like smell, or a pungent, nose-piercing scent. But it's not so bad that I couldn't bear it or had to wash it off. It was just about tolerable. The acne spot treatment I'm using, Patima Gel, also has salicylic acid as the main ingredient, so the smell is pretty strong too, though maybe not as much as this Philosophy product. I guess I got used to it, so it was fine for me! But for first-time users, the smell might be off-putting... And it stings a bit. I heard AHA and BHA products tend to sting when you use them, as they dissolve the dead skin. But it wasn't unbearable~I was worried since my skin is super sensitive, but it was just a mild, tingling sensation, not a painful "ouch!" The last downside is that it's quite sticky, so when I apply moisturizer after, my face feels tacky and gooey. But even with all that, I'm still willing to use it, because it worked so well for me~ However, I wouldn't recommend this to people with extremely sensitive skin, thin skin, skin conditions, or open wounds on the face. It might be too irritating for them.
Tip
The instructions say to use the cotton swabs after cleansing, and then do your basic skincare routine. Since my face is very sensitive and dry, I started by using an aloe vera hydrating toner to prep my skin, and it still seemed to exfoliate well~ And after using this, I think just a simple moisturizer is enough! I just used the Laneige cream after and woke up with such a glowy complexion the next day. And as the instructions mention, sunscreen is a must after using this! These days, we all know sunscreen is essential even on cloudy days or when staying indoors, right? Oh, and there are two versions of the product, blue and red. For skin types similar to mine, the blue one seems to be gentler. The formulas differ in concentration, and the blue one appears more mild. And for those with sensitive skin who find this product works well, the instructions say to use it 1-2 times a week, but it might be better to space it out to once a week to avoid over-exfoliating. It's currently on sale at Olive Young for 3,900 won, until around January 6th I think. Try getting one first to see if it suits you, and if it does, stock up! I just bought a pack of 20 sheet masks and this product yesterday, and I'm going back today to get more to hoard - my wallet is going to be empty...Haha, I got a bit carried away talking about this product that I love. Hwahae community, wishing you all a Happy New Year and flawless skin in 2023!
