This helps ward off blemishes caused by excess oil. However, I'll go into more detail about some drawbacks below.
ConsFirst off, it's so drying that it seems to worsen acne. Acne-prone skin needs good hydration, but this product makes your face feel tight. It's especially harsh in winter. It's not bad for spot-treating tiny popped pimples as a disinfectant. However, with its many irritating ingredients, I can't recommend it for sensitive, acne-prone skin.

It's so effective that I break out when I don't use it. As someone with oily skin, it controls my sebum really well. I use this as my first step, followed by a soothing, hydrating toner.
ConsDue to ingredients like alcohol, you need to pay extra attention to hydration.
TipI'm sure most of you do this already, but make sure to apply it with a cotton pad.

I have neither oily nor dry skin, but I always used to wake up with an oily feeling after applying toner and emulsion. With this product, however, I wake up feeling fresh! It seems effective for managing sebum production. Even the scent of this product seems determined to eliminate almost all excess oil... It has a slight alcohol smell, but it appears to be effective for skin with excessive sebum production and acne-prone skin~
ConsI used this product for a week, and since I bought it to manage sebum, I only used this product because I was afraid that using other products would cause oiliness to return... After using it for a week, my face started to crack ㅜㅜ It's because of the dryness, so I'm planning to apply other products lightly as well! While it's true that it helps with sebum and acne, there hasn't been any dramatic change so far...

When you feel a pimple coming on, applying this is spot-on!
ConsIf you apply essence or emulsion right after this, it's a disaster. You need to let it absorb a bit before applying anything else.
TipIt's best to apply this only before going to bed.

The ethanol content gives me peace of mind about potential follicle mites.
ConsWhenever I apply an emulsion after using this product, it always pills, which is really frustrating. It feels like it's stripping away all the moisture from my skin.

While you might not notice significant results after just one or two uses, with continued use, this product definitely regulates oil production. Usually in summer, I become an oil tycoon with excessive sebum, so I tried this hoping it would be worth the money. At first, it didn't seem effective and pilled badly with other products, making me think I'd wasted my money. But once I figured out how to use it properly, I noticed a real difference in my usual summer oil production. If you have oily skin, start using this ASAP to manage your pores and prevent them from stretching! I wish I'd known about it when I was younger... I used to wake up with so much oil on my face that I had to cleanse every morning, but now my sebum has reduced so much that a simple water rinse is often enough. - It's effective for blemishes. I used to get small, bumpy pimples once a month, but when I wash my face thoroughly and use this product diligently during those times, they disappear without any issues.
Cons- It contains alcohol. While I'm not incompatible with alcohol, I don't prefer it. After using only alcohol-free products for a while, this one felt so strong it was like applying liquor to my face. You might experience some eye stinging, but now that I've seen the results, I've come to appreciate even the burning sensation as refreshing... - It doesn't play well with other products. The sales assistant warned me that due to its high alcohol content, it might pill when layered with other products, and they were right... Other reviews say the same. However, once you master how to use it, it becomes a treasure!!
Tip- If you're tired of being deceived by sebum control cosmetics and want a product that finally shows results, I recommend this. - Let me share how I overcame the pilling issue. After washing my face, I put an appropriate amount of this product on a cotton pad and thoroughly wipe my face. Don't throw away the used cotton pad immediately; peel off a clean layer (you need to use multi-layered cotton pads). Apply a regular, alcohol-free toner to the clean part and wipe your face again. You can do this multiple times, like the 7-skin method. It's okay if it's not 100% absorbed at each step. The goal is to gradually mix this product with another toner to avoid pilling. However, make sure everything is fully absorbed before applying cream. I follow up with a very light gel cream - Innisfree Artichoke Layering Cream Intensive. Despite its name, it's not intense at all, but it gives a comfortable feeling to the pores rather than a heavy film-like finish. After letting it absorb completely, I apply a gel-type sunscreen, patting it on thinly along the skin texture instead of rubbing it in thickly to prevent pilling. I use the Biore sunscreen in the blue bottle. Following this method, even in midsummer, you can maintain a balanced oil level instead of being an oil tycoon!

ConsIt tends to make my skin feel quite tight, and it stings considerably if it gets into the eyes.

ConsIt's almost too effective at controlling oil - it feels a bit tight on the skin, as if it's absorbing all the moisture too.

It's a triple threat, tackling blemishes, oily skin, and dead skin cells all at once!
ConsIt seems affordable, but it's actually quite pricey. However, I'm satisfied because it lasts a long time.
TipI never use this all over my face. If you have extremely oily skin with acne on your cheeks, nose, and forehead, avoid applying it to your entire face. It can be drying, potentially making things worse overall. I recommend using it on a cotton pad, gently wiping just your forehead, nose, and under the nose area. It's best to use it only once a day, preferably in the evening after showering. This isn't a product where using more gives better results.
