I love applying this before my emulsion. When you layer the emulsion on top, this slightly tacky soothing gel seems to lock everything in place, leaving your skin feeling wonderfully hydrated.
ConsIf you use it as your final step, it feels a bit sticky at first but then dries rather quickly. It's a bit disappointing as a finishing product or if you're expecting it to be a true 'all-in-one' solution.

My jawline and cheeks have been affected for about a year, while my forehead has been struggling for 2-3 years. The forehead blemishes seemed particularly stubborn and showed no signs of improvement. The same goes for my jawline. I tried everything - exfoliating dead skin cells, hydrating, changing my sleep schedule, and modifying my diet, but nothing seemed to work. Even prescription medications and ointments from the dermatologist were ineffective. However, like magic, after using this product, my forehead improved so much that everyone complimented me! There are still some small blemishes left, but compared to before, it's so much better. I'd be devastated if my forehead went back to how it was before...
ConsThe blemishes on my cheeks and jawline seem to be particularly stubborn... Nothing seems to work, so I'm going to see a dermatologist. This product has great value for money and is good overall, but since it's a gel, it tends to dry out, making it a bit difficult to use on its own. I have extremely oily skin, and even with just one application, my skin becomes excessively oily. Compared to other products, it takes longer for the oil to appear, but before that happens, my nose area becomes sensitive and hurts. Also, if I scratch when it's itchy, it pills like dead skin...

Perfect for applying liberally both morning and evening.
ConsNothing particularly bad, but the gel slightly hardens around the dispenser opening, making it a bit messy.

ConsIt dries quickly, so the hydration doesn't feel long-lasting.
TipIt feels refreshing when stored in the refrigerator before use.

When my skin was a mess from using the wrong cream, I slathered this on generously thinking it might help soothe things, and it actually improved! It's not really for daily use, but perfect for those times when you need some serious calming action. You can apply it liberally without worry.
ConsIt's not great for daily use. If you apply makeup over the gel, it can cause pilling. The texture is also a bit sticky when you apply it, though it does eventually dry down. Keep that in mind. I'd recommend using this occasionally as a soothing treatment rather than every day.
TipApply generously to areas with small bumps before bed!

As someone with super sensitive skin prone to seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis, my skin can easily flare up if I skip cleansing or use the wrong product. Even soothing gels don't work for me. But this product is perfect for my sensitive skin and doesn't cause any blemishes! I apply it generously, and it makes my skin feel plump and bouncy, just like in those Hada Labo Gokujyun ads. When I wake up after using it overnight, my pores appear tighter, my skin is calmed, and my complexion looks more even. It even soothes redness! This product works wonders for me. I initially bought it online for 9,500 won, but when I saw it on sale for 8,600 won in a physical store, I couldn't resist buying another one even though I'd barely used half of my first bottle. The photos show my new purchase alongside the one I've been using!
ConsThe only downside might be that the plump, bouncy feeling doesn't last too long. It feels like it dries a bit, but it's not actually drying. In summer, this alone might be enough moisturizer. Since I don't have dry skin, it didn't bother me much.
TipI layer the Innisfree Bija Cica Balm over this product. That combination helps the hydration last longer.

It's the best!
ConsIt feels a bit dry when it dries down, but other than that... it seems pretty good.

ConsBeing a gel type, it dries quickly. If you apply foundation right after using this as a base, your skin feels very tight and the makeup breaks down
TipI recommend mixing it with oil or applying a cream after using this product

But when I layer this gel on top, it's amazing how quickly it calms my skin! It truly lives up to its name. ❤️ Blemish Relief When I apply this carefully to any blemishes, it really helps reduce them! I love it! Even when I had forehead acne, using this for a few days showed quick improvement. ❤️ Ingredients and Fragrance-Free The ingredients are great, and as someone who absolutely hates fragranced skincare products, I really appreciate that this is truly fragrance-free.
Cons💔 Sticky Texture It does feel a bit sticky at first. Interestingly, though, it starts off sticky but then feels dry after a while. The outer layer of skin feels dry as time passes... 💔 Hydration As mentioned above, it feels like there's zero oil, so you definitely can't use it alone over toner. Especially in winter... It's best used with a moisturizer. It might be good for oily skin types in summer! However, it does lack in hydration... Despite this, I still like it! When used with a moisturizer, it feels nicely hydrated. I'm enjoying using it! ++Update 25.3.2020: I'm still using this consistently. While it doesn't have any dramatic effects, it's great for maintaining my current skin condition! I haven't had any blemishes at all, and I always apply this before my cream.

I have dry skin that's generally thin, with a tendency for redness especially on my cheeks. After about 3 days of use, my bare face looked less red, with the cheeks settling into a light pink tone, showing significant soothing effects. The texture is a basic gel, and since it's fragrance-free, there's no particular scent. If I had to compare it to something, it's similar to the Dokdo Skin toner. Having sensitive skin that tends to produce excess sebum when over-nourished, this product worked well for me as it's not overly rich in additives. I've found that some natural ingredients can actually be quite irritating, causing more redness on my cheeks.
ConsI usually apply two layers each time, and while it definitely protects the skin, making it feel firm, it does tend to dry rather quickly. About 30 minutes after application, I felt some dryness in my U-zone. When I tried using more product to combat the dryness, I found myself going through it quite fast. I've been using it for nearly 3 weeks now, and I've used up a little more than half the bottle.
TipIt's not quite moisturizing enough and tends to pill when used in the morning before makeup. It might be better suited for nighttime use before bed.
