To be honest, this product didn't suit me at all, so there weren't any positives. If I had to mention something, I guess it's the large size? After applying this product, I developed contact dermatitis and suffered terribly for a month. I really, really recommend avoiding this unless you have extremely resilient skin. Even when I diluted it by mixing with an emulsion and applied just a small amount, I still developed contact dermatitis. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJan 24, 2021
Responds quickly to acne, effectively calming blemishes. I found it quite effective for the first three days of use (applying a small amount locally to troubled areas before bed every night). On the fourth day of use, I had to stop due to the well-known benzoyl peroxide side effects. (Despite no change in application method) Severe redness appeared in all treated areas. It had no effect on small bumps, instead making the surrounding area look red like mosquito bites, making previously invisible bumps appear inflamed and unsightly. Even when I tried it on areas where inflammation had almost subsided, it still caused redness. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJan 22, 2021
After not using it for a while, I tried it when my skin was at its worst. (Updated rating: 3 stars) I have various types of blemishes, and this was effective on those with pus but without redness. For other types, not so much... To be honest, pimples with pus usually form a scab and fall off, or subside on their own after a few days, even without applying ointment. Sometimes they can worsen due to poor habits. In my case, it's usually the former, and applying this ointment speeds up the healing process. (Previous rating: 1 star) It seemed ineffective... I had such high hopes. Everyone's skin is different, but mine must be super sensitive. I applied just a tiny dot as a spot treatment, and the next day it was swollen like a blister. (Updated) It wasn't effective on large inflamed blemishes, red inflammations, pustular acne, or areas prone to breakouts. (Previous) As mentioned in the pros, the day after use, a blister appeared... Other areas where I applied it still have itching, flaking, and redness even days after stopping use. My skin was so sensitive that even water droplets in the shower caused irritation. Those with sensitive skin or atopic dermatitis should avoid this! - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinAug 24, 2020
I can't really say there was anything particularly good about using this product... It just doesn't agree with my skin. As soon as I applied it, my blemishes became completely hard and even grew larger. When I tried to squeeze them, it left really bad scars. It's such a disappointment. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinAug 11, 2020
The price is decent... It's cheaper than similar ointments with the same ingredients sold in Korea If you have super sensitive skin, absolutely do not apply this. I tried to get rid of a few blemishes by applying a pea-sized amount, and it caused dermatitis all over my face. Those with truly sensitive skin, please don't use this. My entire face was covered in blisters, wasting time at the dermatologist and spending a fortune on medication. I beg you... - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinJul 23, 2020
I used it for exactly 3 days. I don't get pustular acne, but I do get small bumps, so I decided to test it out. Day 1: Applied tiny dots on 4 spots - slightly red bumps on the forehead and comedonal acne on the chin. (Used very small amounts. The area felt a bit tingly but that sensation quickly disappeared. The product dried to a white finish where applied.) Day 2: All 4 treated areas became red around the edges... I was surprised but decided to apply it again and try it on new spots. Day 3: The redness around the forehead bumps subsided a bit and the blemishes seemed to have calmed down. However, there was zero effect on the comedonal acne - it just turned red. The new spots I treated also became red within a day, so I quickly washed it off. The good part...? It seemed to have some effect on slightly inflamed, reddish bumps. **Planning to test it again on my boyfriend's skin, who gets pustular acne. Absolutely do not apply this on comedonal acne! It had zero effect and actually made the surrounding area red, making it look worse. The redness doesn't subside quickly either... it takes at least two days to start fading. I had such high hopes after watching YouTube reviews and bought this with great expectations... but it's barely effective on small bumps. Since I don't want to waste my purchase, I'm planning to test it on my boyfriend's skin next. (He occasionally gets larger, pustular blemishes.) - Hwahae UserNormal SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 10, 2019
Even after just one use, I noticed a slight reduction in the redness of my acne The full effects are only visible with prolonged use, and it seems to cause some new blemishes to appear
