어성초 발효 로션

This product works well for acne-prone skin types.

In winter, it might be too drying to use alone. You'll probably need to pair it with a hydrating moisturizer.

As someone with oily skin, I love that this doesn't leave any greasiness when applied. After trying many products, I've come back to using this one exclusively.

There's nothing bad to say. I'll definitely repurchase after I finish this one.

It absorbs well, leaving skin moisturized without feeling greasy. My skin feels comfortable and at ease.

1. Contains many potentially irritating ingredients, increasing the risk of irritation. 2. Doesn't agree with my skin, causing more blemishes. In conclusion, it was clearly not compatible with my skin, so I only used it a couple of times before discarding. I guess my skin doesn't get along with houttuynia cordata.

Is it suitable for providing deep hydration? For oily skin types, it doesn't feel dry..?

There's not really anything bad, but when I just apply the lotion, it tends to dry out easily.

It absorbs quickly and doesn't get greasy, so it feels soft and smooth when you wake up.

After using it, I feel like it's a bit drying, which is disappointing.

It feels like I have fewer breakouts and I think it's a good product.

It feels a bit drying for my dry skin type. After finishing the first bottle, I noticed the subsequent ones didn't seem to help with my acne as much as before.

The cream-based formula applies smoothly and felt great when I first started using it. My acne even started to clear up!

There were not many downsides, but the slight stickiness was a bit disappointing.

The product had excellent spreadability and absorption, and I personally found it to be quite satisfactory.

We all apply basic skincare products and then sunscreen at the end, right? The thing is, most sunscreens have a certain amount of oil in them. So for those of us with oily skin, if we use a heavier basic skincare routine and then put sunscreen on top, the oil can just become way too much. And then when you apply a makeup base on top, it can start breaking down really quickly... But when I use this lotion and then the sunscreen and a semi-matte makeup base, it's the perfect combination! 👍 And the oil doesn't come up as much as before, so my makeup lasts a lot longer too. For those of you with super oily T-zones and cheeks, you have to try this!!

If you have dry skin, you might feel very dry using this. If you do try it, you'll need to make sure to use other moisturizing basic skincare products to provide enough hydration. Even though I have oily skin, when I just used the serum and lotion, my face still felt a bit tight.

I have an extremely oily skin type, especially in the T-zone and cheek area. Even after cleansing, the oil quickly returns... That's why when I use basic skincare products and then apply sunscreen, the extra oil from the sunscreen makes my eyes sting. But when I use this lotion and then apply sunscreen, I feel like the oil and moisture balance is just right for me~ And since the ingredients contain Houttuynia cordata, I don't get any breakouts and the texture is great too! I highly recommend this to fellow oily-skinned people!

It's too drying and the smell is a bit off......

I've been using it and my acne has decreased significantly!!!!

The scent... the scent is a bit like a healthy scent...

After using this product, my acne is calming down. Even though I have sensitive skin, it applies well without any redness.
It absorbs really well too~~
I feel like my skin is becoming more supple!

For those struggling with acne, use it in combination with dermatological treatment!

But when just looking at it as a cosmetic product, the effects don't show up quickly.
Those who say they see great results really praise it a lot, but for people like me who don't respond well to it, it's hard to see effects even after 6 months of use. It's not that it makes my acne worse or anything like that, small blemishes do go away, but since I had high expectations after buying this, I didn't really get the feeling of my acne calming down quickly. And the moisture level isn't that high either. Since it's an acne product, you'll need to use a separate moisturizer.

The spreadability is not bad and the absorption is quite fast!! The smell is not great, but...
What I want to say is that I didn't really feel the effects being that significant when using just this product alone!! However, since it is a basic skincare product for acne-prone skin, when used in conjunction with dermatological treatment, it works really well. As it contains Houttuynia cordata, when used at night after dermatological treatment, it helps calm the skin quickly and there is no tightness.
