  Pros

  I've had this product for about a month, but haven't used it often. The irritation is quite intense. After applying it all over my face, I experienced a severe burning sensation and pain, so I couldn't use it for a while. Because of this, I can't really speak to its effectiveness yet. I bought it because it's supposed to prevent blemishes and help with blemish marks. I tried applying it only on scarred areas as a spot treatment. However, I haven't noticed any changes at all.

  Cons

  The irritation is no joke. At first, I tried to control the amount and applied just a little, but my face still flared up. The worst part is that it can't be purchased in Korea, which increases the risk of getting a counterfeit product.

  Tip

  The most important thing to consider when buying this product is whether it's authentic or not. Given the irritation I experienced, I think the one I bought might be genuine (I saw reviews on a certain platform where people said they felt no irritation at all, suggesting those might be fake). That's my hope, anyway. The slightly dull color of the product makes me suspect it might be counterfeit. If anyone knows how to distinguish between real and fake, please leave a comment. I bought mine through direct purchase on a popular Korean search engine. Next time, I'll buy from the official website even if it takes longer. Yes, even though I haven't seen results yet, I'm considering repurchasing. If you check the official website, you'll see this product has some truly dramatic effects. As for usage tips, beginners should start by applying about a pinky nail-sized amount to the entire face, or apply it over another moisturizer, or mix it with another product. Alternatively, you can use it just as a spot treatment.

  Pros

  It's effective for blemishes and acne scars! The texture is creamy but lightweight, so it doesn't pill when layered with other skincare products.

  Cons

  If you apply too much, it can pill and potentially irritate your skin!

  Tip

  I recommend applying a thin layer on blemish-prone areas or acne scars, or using it as a spot treatment directly on pimples. Highly recommended!

  Pros

  When I mixed it with my moisturizer, I noticed my small blemishes gradually disappearing. It definitely showed results. I love that it's so affordable too!

  Cons

  Using it alone might be irritating and could potentially cause some side effects.

  Tip

  Try mixing it with your favorite nighttime moisturizer for best results.
