Pros
Due to the high concentration, using the product alone on the bare face caused troubles. Therefore, I mixed it with another serum product in a 1:1 ratio and applied it.
Cons
The high concentration caused breakouts, so it backfired. When I mixed it with other products, it was fine.

Pros
I'm not sure... I'm envious of those who found this cosmetic product to be a good match and saw whitening effects. It is moisturizing, though.
Cons
As it contains a lot of niacinamide, I purchased this product expecting whitening effects, but I am greatly disappointed. Those with sensitive skin should not buy this... The ingredients seemed mild, so I applied it without worry, but suddenly small pimples started appearing... However, since they said it has whitening effects, I tried using it for about two weeks, but I didn't see any effects. I can no longer use it on my face because of the small pimples that came up, and I'm trying to use it on my armpits, but there are no whitening effects on my armpits either...

Pros
I've tried about 1/3 of it, and it seems to be quite effective in terms of skin radiance and hydration.
Cons
It didn't seem to work well with my skin, and it caused some skin troubles, so I had to stop using it. People with sensitive skin should be cautious.
Tip
The price of 20ml is 64,480 won on Coupang.

Pros
The product comes with high-concentration niacinamide samples that help dissolve sebum. No irritation even with the first use of the high-concentration formula.
Cons
The price is expensive, but after using it for over a week, I don't feel any effects. I bought it for pores/sebum-related issues, but it doesn't seem to work in that area. I felt a very mild irritation for 1-2 times. After using it, my sebum production increased, and I got two huge blackheads. It seems like I get more breakouts after using this compared to summer.
Tip
I only use it at night.

Pros
I originally used a different 10% serum, but then I found a higher concentration ampoule on the brand's official website and started using it. Compared to the lower concentration one that left my skin dry, this one is more moisturizing and plump!
Cons
However, I think expecting it to be good just because it's a higher concentration was a mistake. I should have carefully checked the formulation and concentration that suits my skin, but instead the higher concentration one ended up being more irritating and caused me to break out.
Tip
If anyone else is having trouble, I'd recommend trying the Cosrx Niacinamide 20% Zinc 4% Ampoule. I switched to this and it's been so much better!!! Also highly recommend the Rize Niacinamide Serum, it has 20% niacinamide plus panthenol.

Pros
According to the dermatologist's YouTube video, to manage blackheads, you should use a bha toner and then follow up with a retinol treatment that helps with pore management. I purchased the retinol 1% treatment, and this other product as well, which is said to be less irritating than retinol but still effective (I checked the clinical data). The texture is good. There doesn't seem to be any particular fragrance. The volume is quite small.
Cons
At first, I diligently alternated using the retinol (once a week) and this product. But I started breaking out. The breakouts, especially on my chin, cheeks, and forehead, were quite severe, so I stopped using it. It took quite a while to get rid of them. It seems the retinol treatment was the culprit (it did say an adjustment period is needed), and this product was an accomplice. It's a bit strong, even though I'm not particularly sensitive. I have no plans to repurchase. The price is also too high. And for my already enlarged pores, the effect of cosmetics seems minimal. Even though I know this, I still end up buying, thinking 'this one will work'.
Tip
The discounts during sales seem quite substantial, around 20% or so. There also seems to be additional discounts for members. You definitely need to sign up on the website to get the discounts.

Pros
I bought the niacinamide product with high expectations as my skin tends to respond well to it. The Pola Choice products have also worked well for me in the past. After undergoing multiple laser treatments, my skin became dull and uneven, but this product has truly brightened my complexion. I didn't notice much difference at first, but with consistent use, my skin has become brighter and my pores appear slightly smaller.
Cons
However, since I have sensitive skin, using it daily might be too much. It also has a slightly irritating effect, causing some itchiness when I apply it before bed. But I haven't experienced any breakouts or other issues.
Tip
A little goes a long way with this product.
