I've been using it for a long time, so it's not too harsh for me. However, if I haven't used it in a while, it can cause a slight tingling sensation. The next day, my skin feels as smooth as a peeled egg, which is why this is a must-have on my vanity. Initially, there's a slight tingling when applied, but now I don't feel anything. I apply it right after toner and serum, skipping moisturizer. These days, I'm using retinol, so I only use this once or twice a month to avoid potential irritation. I really hope they never discontinue this product!
ConsThere are no downsides. AHA is a strong exfoliating ingredient, so the tingling sensation is to be expected.
TipPro tip 1: After cleansing, apply toner then AHA. Wait 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse with water. Follow up with a high-concentration serum or functional skincare product. This seems to improve absorption, and you'll wake up to plump, firm skin the next day. Pro tip 2: If your face is super sensitive, you can use this on areas like elbows, knees, ankles, or heels for exfoliation. I also apply it on my back and chest when I have severe back or chest blemishes, and it seems to help fade scars faster!

There's a noticeable difference in texture. However, it shouldn't be used too frequently, and it's important to follow the recommended usage time.
ConsIt stings a bit, but that's unavoidable. Try to endure it. The tingling sensation disappears after a few minutes anyway.

Well, it's a bit stinging for my sensitive skin. So I just apply a thin layer, leave it on for 1-2 minutes, and then rinse it off. If my skin starts to feel too irritated, I wipe it off right away. I don't want to leave it on too long as it might thin out my skin even more.
ConsI feel like it's not exfoliating well enough. It might be because I rinse it off too quickly, but leaving it on longer makes my skin sting too much and I can't stand it. So even though my pores around my nose have fewer whiteheads after using it once a week, I don't get that instantly smooth and glowing skin. Another downside is that it's a hassle. It says to use it at night, so I have to remove my makeup, pat my face dry with a towel, apply it, and then wash my face again... it's just too much of a process.
TipIf I apply it lightly and roll it around with my fingertips, it's a bit less stinging.

A few days later, when I cleansed my skin with cleansing oil, I felt like my sebum was coming out more easily than usual!
ConsAt first, it stings a bit! I think it's important to gradually increase the time and get used to it!!

It's a product that can be applied to the face with your hands, so it's definitely less irritating than pads, but there's still some irritation from other sources lol
ConsMy face feels stinging and burning. The AHA must have been a bit strong and irritating. But even though it stung when I used this product, my skin texture did calm down a bit, so I persisted in using it, though it really hurt when it was at its worst...

However, since my skin is sensitive and this is my first time using it, I was worried, so I only left it on the T-zone and chin area for about 5 minutes before rinsing it off. After rinsing, my skin felt soft and smooth, and my sebum production seemed to have calmed down a bit.
ConsRight after applying, the acne-prone areas felt extremely stinging and reddened. Since the butterfly area is usually less prone to breakouts, I applied it there, but I could see slight redness and hives, so I knew it didn't agree with my skin. The ingredients weren't as gentle as I had hoped, and it was a bit irritating, which was disappointing. It would have been better if the ingredients were gentler and less irritating.

I recently had a terrible breakout of stubborn closed comedones on my forehead (they felt rough to the touch ㅠㅠ) and I had a sample packet, so I slathered it on and rinsed it off 15 minutes later, and I was shocked at how smooth my skin became - I immediately ordered the full-size product. Using this really makes your skin glow, probably because it gets rid of all the dead skin.
ConsSince it has a high 10% AHA concentration, it can be really stinging when used on sensitive skin. I just used it a little while ago, and after washing my face and picking at a blemish on my forehead, I put it on and my forehead started burning so badly I had to slap it ㅠㅠ It's best to use this on areas without any active wounds or irritation... Using it too often can also make your skin more sensitive, so for sensitive skin types, I'd recommend using it a maximum of 2 times per week.
TipSince this product really helps slough off dead skin, adequate moisturizing after use is essential. I like to layer a hydrating essence and a moisturizing cream to make sure my skin is well-hydrated.

ConsAh, the ingredients can be a bit stinging. But it's fine once you rinse it off?

The exfoliating effect is noticeable, though it can be quite stinging. Considering that it's used only once or twice a week, a single purchase can last a long time.
ConsIt has a pungent smell. It's very stinging when first applied. However, after using it once a week, the stinging sensation becomes less noticeable after about 2 weeks, likely due to getting used to it or the reduction in dead skin.
TipProper moisturizing is essential after exfoliating.

It's definitely effective.
ConsIf you cleanse your skin vigorously or use it when your skin is sensitive, it can sometimes feel a bit stinging.
