Wow, this deserves full marks! My redness had become so severe that I was looking for a product with absolutely no physical irritation. I stumbled upon this by pure chance and decided to buy it. I'm absolutely in love with it! The emulsion formula causes zero irritation. I was worried because I've had blemishes from misusing AHA products before, but this one's fine. I hate products where you can't tell if they're working or not, but this one's effects are clearly noticeable - I can really feel my blackheads fading. The price is affordable too. After washing my face, my forehead is super glowy! It's my first time trying an Isoi product, and my first impression is fantastic.
ConsIt's a shame Olive Young doesn't sell it. The shipping cost is annoying. Oh well, I'll just buy two and be done with it.

Since facial skin is more sensitive than body skin, I followed the instructions, applying it for about 10 minutes before washing off on my face. For my body, I simply applied it, let it dry, and went about my day. Unlike some chemical exfoliants that can leave a sticky residue, this one doesn't, which I really appreciated. While it might sting a bit on broken skin, consistent use significantly reduced my blemishes. It was particularly effective on back acne.
ConsI'm so satisfied with this product that I have no complaints. I'll definitely be repurchasing.

ConsBut it just irritates my skin a lot, peels off my skin barrier, and only has negative effects.
TipWhen I consulted a dermatologist, they said using AHA BHA is extremely bad for me.. Ah.. I'm a legend for believing non-expert internet bloggers and YouTubers..

When I use it during breakouts, it seems to calm them down a bit.
ConsFor someone like me who only uses it occasionally, the amount is a bit too much. I sometimes share it with my sister, and we've even used it past the expiration date haha ㅠㅠ
Tip1. An adjustment period is needed. 2. If you don't moisturize properly after using it, the keratosis can actually get worse. Be sure to provide plenty of moisture with masks, etc. 3. Don't do intense exfoliation right before an important day - do it the day before instead. If your skin isn't well-hydrated, the keratosis could worsen.

I applied enough of the product and was concerned it might be too irritating and drying, so I also put on the Isol Galactomyces Cream. Seeing that the Witch's Factory had a serum with AHA and galactomyces, I thought using the two together would be beneficial. Anyway, the next morning, the redness had completely subsided, and the severe acne was quickly alleviated, much to the amazement of our whole family. It allowed us to see my sibling's natural skin tone again after a long time. The effect was so significant from just one use that I purchased the full-size product.
ConsWhen applied, my sibling said the cheek area was particularly irritating. I told them to bear with it. Haha. The cheeks are the bony area, so the skin is thinner there, which seems to be the reason for the irritation. The cheekbone skin (especially the photographed area, which had no acne but was still painful) and the forehead with lots of cystic acne were particularly irritating, they said. My own skin is also thin, weak, and sensitive, prone to acne, but it wasn't as irritating for me. So it seems the irritation was only on the acne-prone areas. This was my first time using the AHA cream, and with the galactomyces cream applied on top, it wasn't overly irritating and was manageable. My sibling also felt better after a while. (However, the cheek area continued to be irritating, so if you're an adult, it's probably best to avoid that area. The side effects may last longer since the skin's regenerative ability is lower than in teenagers. For reference, both my sibling and I experienced irritation but no redness.)
TipApplying a moisturizing cream on top can help reduce the facial irritation. Using it with a hydrating booster, which also contains some AHA, can further enhance the effects. However, it requires diligence, as you need to soak a cotton pad with the booster and wipe, then faithfully apply the cream every night, which can be quite a task...
