To be honest, there doesn't seem to be much wrong with this product itself. The only potential issue is that it might sting a bit if you have sensitive skin.

I definitely feel like my skin texture is more refined.
I thought the exfoliating skin would be drying, but it was sufficiently moisturizing for me.
There was no discomfort at all, so I wonder why they only gave it three stars.
If this had been a month ago, I might have given it five stars.
But recently, I've been using a rice bran soap for cleansing, and the finish is amazing. After using that, I don't really need to use this product anymore.
My skin feels so much smoother and my makeup applies better since using the rice bran soap. I thought this product was decent, but now that I've found an even better item, I'm downgrading it to three stars.
I'm a real exfoliation enthusiast - even just a quick wash leaves me with tons of dead skin. After using the rice bran soap, I couldn't really tell the difference between using this product or not, so I've just been leaving it alone out of concern for overburdening my skin.
...Hah, it seems like finding the right cleansing product for me is the better way to go.

Those with very sensitive skin should probably avoid this. Or if it feels too stinging, try layering a toner before using it!

Unlike what some have said, I'm not sure if my makeup applies well the next day. But I'm still satisfied with the product~~

My iZentree bestseller is this product!!! It shows what it means to melt away dead skin cells. If you use it consistently, pore-clogging dead skin doesn't form, so it's great - no more breakouts! It seems to work wonders on those pesky milia. This is my second bottle!

If applied to non-acne areas, it can be a bit irritating and has an alcoholic scent

Applying it to acne-prone areas and sleeping overnight helps calm the acne the next day^^

I don't use it when I have breakouts, but it seems to agree well with my skin and I can use it daily without any issues, so there's really nothing I'm dissatisfied with.

The skin feels so soft and smooth after using it.

I think I used it about 3 times, and that's when it started to feel irritated and my skin became even drier.
I originally had a bit of redness on my cheeks and had dry skin, but now it's dry + super sensitive and my skin has become thinner.
I had to go to the dermatologist because my skin was just a mess - my cheeks were red and irritated, itchy, and I had even more peeling.
It was swollen too.
I really think anyone with sensitive, thin, or dry skin should reconsider using this.
I was told I had such great skin before, but now it's just... depressing. I'm so frustrated.

Don't do the irritating peeling, that's a Hwahae Trial Reviewer tip.
Don't end up like me........
I want to tear off the label and throw away the sensitive one.

I don't understand why all the other reviews are full of praise. Am I the only one?
Are they all just robot-skinned?
Cystic acne and inflammation around my chin have been no joke, and I've been in and out of the dermatologist's office. It's already in the trash can.
The moment I apply it, there's unbearable pain on my face. Aloe vera gel doesn't even come close.
It's way too irritating.
I don't use it every day, only every two or three days in the evening. They said to 'tame' my skin, so I endured the pain and used it, but oh well.
Give me back my skin.

A whole new world experience with Aha.
This will be a memory that lasts a lifetime.
Thank you for the wonderful memories......

Just one pump is enough to cover your whole face ㅎ

It only makes the whiteheads disappear. Those of you who were hoping it would also remove blackheads (yes, that's you), you'll have to let go of that expectation~~

It's really amazing how the dead skin just disappears!
In the winter, I would slather on lotion and cream, but no matter how much I rubbed, the flaky skin would just float around. But when I use this product, my makeup applies so much better!
To think that the dead skin just goes away when I apply it... it's just incredible...
And I was worried it would sting, but they said it's a natural reaction, and I didn't get any breakouts either ㅎ Just in case, I don't do it every day, but every other day instead!

Please stop using that exfoliating product with microplastics and irritants, and switch to this one instead ㅠㅠ

I don't have any trouble spots, and since I haven't used it for long, I don't have any complaints yet!

I used to have severe flakiness, so I would use pads or scrubs.
However, my skin would turn red, so I tried switching to an acid gel.
It stings just a bit when I apply it, so I only use it every other day.
But now, my skin doesn't get red, and my makeup applies well the next day, so I'm happy with it:)

I think it's best to use it once every 2-3 days.

It's good that my skin has become cleaner, but it seems like my pores have widened, and I've been getting breakouts from using it every day.

Before going to bed, I apply it and sleep well, and in the morning, I feel like my pores have become cleaner.

I bought it based on the reviews. However, when I apply it, it stings me. Especially on the parts with pimples or wounds, it's even more stinging, and even the parts without them also sting. It doesn't last long, but I'm also not sure about the effectiveness.. I was especially hoping it would remove the whiteheads on my chin.. but apart from becoming a little softer the next day, it doesn't seem to be of much help.. And since it's a type that you just apply, the dead skin also doesn't seem to be properly removed, so I don't even get the feeling that it was removed.

The only thing I know is that it becomes a little smoother the next day...

Maybe it's because of my sensitive skin, but the stinging sensation did last a while... However, I didn't develop any blemishes or worsening of my skin condition. I guess it's just because of the acidity, so I've been continuing to use it.

Is your skin rough due to buildup of dead skin cells? Whenever that happens, gently applying a little bit helps make it smooth and nice.

I also applied a lightweight moisturizing cream afterwards. The next day, after cleansing with just water, my skin felt hydrated and supple.

If I had to point out one thing, it would be the scent.
It has a slight yogurt-like fermented smell, but it's not unpleasant.

This is a must-have product that I would highly recommend to anyone!
My skin used to have severe dryness, tightness, and visible flakiness. I had tried various physical exfoliators, but the effects would only last for that day, leaving my skin red and irritated.
However, when I started using Aha, it was a whole new world for me!!
I don't have to scrub hard, and simply applying it like an essence is enough. The next morning, my skin feels incredibly soft and smooth - the results are immediate! And now, I can barely even tell that I had any flakiness before. Even though I have sensitive and acne-prone skin, I experienced no irritation or discomfort whatsoever. Highly recommend!
