  Pros

  • Skin Type: Combination leaning towards dry, sensitive, thin skin with visible capillaries, around 11-13 in skin tone I'm already on my 3rd bottle of this product. As my skin is quite sensitive, I couldn't do physical exfoliation, so I bought this. It seems to be the least irritating among other brands' products! The peeling effect is sufficient after using it for about a week, and it takes 2-3 weeks of consistent use to see improvements in skin texture. And it also worked well for my milia! When I use this and follow up with extractions and proper moisturizing, my milia tend to subside (although I don't have cystic acne, so I can't speak to its effects on that). In summary: If your skin is sensitive and you find physical exfoliation too harsh, I'd recommend this! It helps improve skin texture and is effective for milia as well!

  Cons

  1. I don't know if it's just me, but when I use this and then apply a cream, it always seems to pill up. 2. You need to press the middle part when pumping, otherwise only one side keeps coming out, which is such a waste. 3. It's quite pricey, but there are occasional discounts, so I tend to buy it when it's on sale!! (It gets discounted at Olive Young very rarely!!)

  Tip

  For the pilling issue I mentioned in point 1, I found that applying it as: Toner -> This product -> Sheet mask -> Essence -> Cream works well for me without any pilling.
