Pros
This is definitely the best cosmetic product I've ever purchased! To list the advantages I've experienced while using it: - No irritation whatsoever - Noticeable effects after just one use - Completely cleared up my acne - Removed blackheads - Leaves my skin feeling moisturized after application True to its reputation as the mildest AHA, there was no stinging, redness, or any such side effects, not even when I applied it to blemished areas. It felt just like applying a regular facial oil at first, making me wonder if it would actually work, but lo and behold, my skin looked visibly different the very next morning. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The reviews on The Ordinary's website weren't exaggerating - people really do see results after just one or two uses. From the first day I started using it, my skin felt incredibly smooth to the touch. I was amazed, as I'd never experienced that before! I ended up applying it almost daily, and after 2 weeks, I've had zero irritation and the bumpy, uneven texture on my face has completely smoothed out. I used to have a lot of acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, but those have faded noticeably in just 2 weeks of use. I get excited every time I look in the mirror and see the changes in my skin! Even the stubborn blackheads on my T-zone have significantly diminished. Honestly, for the price you're getting 10% mandelic acid plus hyaluronic acid - you really should just go ahead and try it out.
Cons
While it had dramatic effects on my acne, blackheads, hyperpigmentation, and skin texture, it didn't do much for my hormonal cystic acne. ㅠㅠ But even so, my skin just looks and feels so much better after using this product!
Tip
A must-try for anyone dealing with acne, hyperpigmentation, or sensitive skin who wants to use an AHA!

Pros
This is a life-changing product!! I suffered from milia for years, but after finding this product, I've been freed from the shackles of milia~~ Now, I only have some acne scars left, and I'm so happy that no new milia are forming! It's gentler than other acid products and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all ^^
Cons
If you apply too much, your skin will become completely dry and cracked the next day after washing, so you need to be very careful with the amount you use!
Tip
I mix this with another serum (the brand's niacinamide one) and apply them together~ About 3-4 drops of this, the size of a coin, is just perfect!

Pros
Mandelic acid is said to be less irritating than AHA or BHA because its larger molecular size means it is absorbed more slowly. So at first, I didn't feel any stinging or irritation when I just used it. Definitely, using mandelic acid has reduced my flaky skin and whiteheads.
Cons
It's a shame that while there are offline stores in Seoul, there aren't any in the provinces, so I couldn't test it.
Tip
If you're using it for the first time or plan to use it daily, it's better to mix it into your regular skincare and apply it that way.

Pros
As someone with sensitive skin who couldn't even consider using products like Aha, I bought this based on the recommendation that it's gentle. I decided to give it a try. After using it today, it really does provide a gentle exfoliation. There's no stinging sensation, and my face doesn't turn red either~ It seems to be providing exfoliation without irritation. My skin feels smooth and glowing.
Cons
There's nothing disappointing so far.. The products here seem to be working well for me.
Tip
I'm using this product as a toner-serum routine. Am I using it correctly?? I remember my sister telling me not to use this together with the Buffet product when I bought it.
