Pros
I seem to be using about three bottles or so. This product is one I found while searching for an exfoliating product that includes both aHA and bHA. It doesn't feel slippery and doesn't just fly off quickly. So I definitely want to exfoliate thoroughly, so I soak a cotton pad for skincare and leave it on for 10-20 minutes. Even though I don't have inflammatory acne, I often get closed comedones, and this product seems to manage them pretty well through exfoliation, so I've been using it regularly. After the skincare pack, my skin texture definitely changes from rough to smooth.
Cons
I'm not sure if it's aHA or bHA, but when you buy chemical exfoliating cosmetics, there's a distinctive chemical smell, like alcohol or acetone, that's not very pleasant. 😅 It's better than having a strange smell from mixing with strong fragrances, though. And when using it as a skincare pack, it disappears too quickly. 😭 I wish there was an affordable large-size option.
Tip
This is my own method, not suitable for sensitive skin (it may be too irritating). Soak a cotton pad for skincare thoroughly, leave it on for about 15 minutes, and then do your makeup - your makeup will stay on better that day.

Pros
The formula is like water, absorbing quickly and providing decent pore refinement. While not dramatically effective, it's a fuss-free daily skin that I reach for often.
Cons
The scent has a somewhat chemical smell, though I've gotten used to it now. My husband occasionally applies it, but he says it stings his eyes around the eye area, even though it's not going into his eyes.

Pros
My skin felt a bit rough before using it, but after using it, it definitely feels smooth and soft.
Cons
The scent of the product is a bit disappointing. I'm not very sensitive to smells, so it wasn't overly unpleasant, but it has a slightly alcoholic-like fragrance.

Pros
I have highly sensitive and complex skin with flushing. I have been applying a dermatological product to my nose and chin for a few years now. My cheeks are extremely sensitive, so I exclude them. I haven't had any breakouts, and it's not overly dry, but I'm not sure if it's improving my sebum or blackheads. Since I don't have any blemishes, I just keep applying it.
Cons
The fragrance seems to have an alcoholic scent, which could be irritating. But since I only apply it to my cheeks, I don't have any issues, and it works fine for me!
Tip
For those with dry skin and high sensitivity, it's best to only apply the dermatological product to areas like the nose, chin, and forehead, rather than the entire face.

Pros
I finally want to write a few words about CosRX's AHA BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner. To be honest, I was extremely reluctant to introduce this product, the main reason being that this toner felt just mediocre, neither particularly bad nor good. The second reason was ironically that there were no alternative products on the market that could replace this ambiguous toner. Hearing the latter, one might think that it must be a reasonably good product. However, as I mentioned earlier, this is a very so-so toner, so it was very... ambiguous to evaluate this product positively, with the sole advantage of being a pore and exfoliating toner. Nevertheless, I'll try to list the points that were reasonably good. First of all, as an exfoliating toner, it does a pretty good job of removing dead skin cells. Of course, it's not as effective as an exfoliating cream, but honestly, doing skin exfoliation once a week is... a very annoying task. When you're too lazy to use pads, there's nothing better than this toner. If you use it consistently, you can see a slight difference in the smoothness of your uneven skin surface. Of course, using this product alone won't give you that effect, and you'll need to consistently use other things (peeling gel, pads, creams, dermatological treatments, etc.) to see some results. It absorbs well and feels lightweight. It seems to absorb quickly regardless of skin type, and it doesn't feel too tight, which is good. For busy modern people, it can save you a second or two.
Cons
It's tolerable once you get used to it, but to be honest, it was very stinging when I first used it. My skin hurt. Maybe because it's AHA BHA, the irritating artificial fragrance was also disliked. (If it gets in your eyes, you can feel the pain of your eyeballs burning. I really felt like lava was flowing out of my eyes.) Another problem is that it doesn't provide enough moisture. Honestly, it wasn't a big issue in the summer, but it doesn't seem suitable for winter when you need to pay extra attention to hydration.

Pros
Since I have polar skin, I purchased this product due to the oil, sebum, and dead skin issues. Using it as a cleansing toner or face pack has definitely reduced the oiliness, and my skin feels cleaner compared to when I use a regular toner. It seems to be a good product. There is also a 50ml size available, which is convenient for travel use.
Cons
The product has a slight alcohol-like scent, which is a bit disappointing. Individuals with sensitive skin should exercise caution when using this product.

After watching Director Pai's video, I liked the ingredients. It's easy to apply and has no stickiness.

The alcohol-like scent is disappointing. It's been almost two months, but there's been little change.

Apply to the back or chest after showering and drying the body.

Pros
My skin type: Neutral + Acne + Not sensitive (Most products work well for me) Purchase motivation: Exfoliation + Skin texture management What I liked: 1. Even though it's an AHA/BHA product, it didn't cause any irritation or redness 2. When used as a cleansing balm, it left a clean feeling without any oiliness 3. The ingredients were satisfactory (I didn't pay too much attention, but they were good)
Cons
1. It has a somewhat alcohol-like smell (not very pleasant, but still tolerable) 2. The hole in the container is a bit awkward, making it difficult to dispense 3. It's just average overall... I might use it occasionally as a cleansing balm to maintain my skin
