The smell is really terrible. The smell was so bad that I immediately left a negative review, as the effect was not even noticeable due to the unpleasant odor. It's not an alcoholic smell, but more like an old man's skin lotion (even an old one) - a very pungent middle-aged male scent. Although I've never been to a public bath for men, I imagine this product would have the same kind of unpleasant, strong-smelling skin care products that you might find in the men's section of a public bath. The performance is good, so I want to endure and continue using it, but the scent lingers for too long. The cooling sensation lasts a long time, which is a benefit of this product, but the scent also persists along with the cooling effect. Even though I don't have a strong sense of smell due to rhinitis, the scent was still very irritating to my nose. If you could remove the "refreshing and cool beach pine scent", it would greatly help boost the sales. Additionally, the absorption is very poor and it spreads excessively. I tried massaging it with the included massage ball, but it spread out so much that I was initially shocked, thinking it was dirt. It's inconvenient to have to wipe down the area I'm massaging each time with a wet wipe while using this product. If I don't wipe it down and just touch the area, it sticks to my hand like glue, an extremely sticky sensation I've never experienced with any other face or body product before. After the massage, I had to vigorously wash my hands with a foaming cleanser. Looking at the ingredients, it contains all kinds of great natural extracts like kelp, green laver, sea mustard, and Japanese cedar leaf, so I thought it was amazing for the price. But no matter how good the ingredients are, if the absorption is poor, it's all for naught. Even though my skin feels smoother after wiping it off, if they could improve the absorption, this product would be a real hit. If they could fix both the scent and the absorption issues, I'd be willing to pay up to 30,000 won for it. As it stands now, despite the good performance, these two critical flaws make me think it's better to find a more expensive product without these downsides rather than repurchasing this one.

Wiping it off with a wet wipe after using is absolutely essential. You also need to make sure to wash your hands thoroughly and go to sleep. Even until the moment you fall asleep, the old man's scent will linger on your hands.
