ConsWhile a skin lotion being watery and gentle is good, this is a spot gel, so it should be effective in making blemishes disappear. But the effectiveness is unclear - only the redness seems to have faded.

First, the Medicica Clear Spot Gel is mild and spreads well, making it easy to apply. Personally, I find the Origins Spot Gel to be the most effective, but it's a bit strong, while the Medicica is mild but may be slightly less effective. I'd recommend this to those with sensitive skin as it's very gentle. I sometimes use a generous amount all over when my skin feels a bit itchy or I want an overall 'disinfecting' effect, and I find that my skin feels more comfortable the next day, so I use it occasionally.
ConsSpot gels are usually meant for preventive use in the early stages of acne, so the effects may not be as noticeable. However, I find this product effectively and gently tackles my initial breakouts. But since the Origins works so well for my skin type, I likely won't be repurchasing the Medicica.
TipApplying a slightly thicker layer on the itchy, initial acne spots can make a difference and leave your skin feeling more comfortable the next day!

It was suitable for dry skin and applied well, so it seems just right. The fragrance-free formula was non-irritating to use, and the ingredients felt trustworthy.:)
ConsI didn't see a significant effect in calming my acne. Perhaps because I haven't used it for long yet, It might become clearer if I use it more. :) It may be a bit oily for oily skin types.
TipProper pressure control is needed!

After thoroughly absorbing the serum, I applied it. I applied it generously to all areas with acne and whiteheads. It has a feeling like a sticky ointment, but it applies without stickiness. It was less irritating than other spot-related products. I'm glad there was no tightness or dryness. The whiteheads seem to be going down a bit. The old acne scars also seem to have faded a little...? But since my daily life is a mess, I can't help but break out again.
ConsI'm the type who gets acne due to hormonal issues, so I didn't stop getting acne or anything. The acne kept coming up according to my menstrual cycle. The acne scars seem to have faded a bit, but when I looked at the photos, it didn't seem to be much different.
TipAs a working person who doesn't have time to retouch my makeup, I only applied it in the morning and evening. Since the cosmetic is small, it would be good to carry it around and apply it whenever I have a chance. I don't have time to apply it. T_T For people who get acne according to their menstrual cycle, taking birth control pills might actually be better.

It had a slightly viscous, watery texture, so when applied to the forehead, it didn't run down towards the eyes, which was nice. The effect wasn't dramatically noticeable, but by applying it consistently, the blemishes like acne gradually disappeared from the 3rd day. It wasn't irritating and the blemishes faded slowly without leaving any traces.
ConsThere wasn't any particularly visible effect, which was disappointing. After almost completely fading the blemishes by applying it consistently, when I stopped using the product, the troubles returned within 2 days. Having tried other effective cica serums and creams, I felt a bit let down.
TipWhen I first applied it on the blemished areas, there was a slight irritation. So I applied a hydrating ampoule first, and then applied it, which reduced the irritation.

In fact, formulas that are too thick can feel heavy and be difficult to absorb, but this product is lightweight and oil-free, so I could apply it in the morning on the really problematic areas and then apply makeup on top without it slipping or feeling cakey. ● The lack of irritating ingredients means this is a gentle product, right? Spot gels often have issues like stinging or strong smells, but this one has none of that! ● In fact, using acne-specific products can sometimes make breakouts worse. My skin is quite sensitive, so if a product doesn't agree with me, it can actually make my skin condition deteriorate, but this one is so gentle that even though the effects were mild, it never worsened my skin. ● Great value for money! Spot gels often have small amounts for the price, but this product has a generous amount, so it feels like a real bargain!
Cons● My skin was in really bad shape, so I had high hopes for this spot gel, but I didn't see any dramatic effects 😞 Other people have said it really calmed their redness, but after a week of using it, I didn't experience that. It could be because my skin was in such poor condition, so I'll keep using it consistently and see if it helps further down the line.
Tip●This is good for lightly textured or suddenly emerging pimples! And since it's so gentle, you don't need to worry about it making your skin worse.
