ConsI am intelligent, but there was nothing particularly regrettable. When it touches the wound, it stings.
TipUsing it together with other brands' vitamin C ampoules seemed to have a greater synergistic effect.

Even if you just apply it before going to bed for one day, you'll see a noticeable difference the next day!! I sometimes get adult acne, and when it looks a bit inflamed, I apply it and go to sleep, and it calms down. That's when I use it. The smell is much better than The Ordinary Niacinamide! I think the smell is not too strong at this point.
ConsI'm not sure if it's because I only apply it when I'm flushed, but that area is very hot and slightly stinging! If you have thin and sensitive skin, be careful (I have oily skin).

I like it so much that I will continue to use it.
ConsFor sensitive skin, it's best to go through a gradual adaptation period. At first, it felt a bit stinging, but I used it 2 times a week, then 3 times, then 4 times, and now there's no stinging sensation at all.
TipSince they say the effect is better when used with retinol, try applying it together with retinol at night!

These days, basic skincare products are being launched by large corporations and small businesses alike, both domestically and internationally. Even pharmaceutical companies are now making basic skincare products, and there are truly so many brands out there. I've used many different brands, but I've returned to Pola Choice. Previously, I had wrongly used a shampoo with poor ingredients and suffered from cystic acne for a long time as a result. But after using this product, my skin has really improved a lot. The textural irregularities and cystic acne on my jawline, forehead, and chin have been resolved, and my overall skin texture has become smoother and more even.
Cons- Fragrance The fragrance is a bit unpleasant, perhaps because it's unscented and just the natural scent of the ingredients. But this can be both a downside and an upside - there's no need for added fragrance in a basic skincare product. - Texture The color is a very deep brown. I really love the niacinamide ingredient, and have been using basic products with this ingredient from other brands as well. But I've never seen such a dark color before. I'm curious if this is just the natural color of the high 20% concentration of this ingredient. I generally avoid using dark-colored basic skincare products on my face, as there have been cases of them leaving a visible residue. Fortunately, it didn't actually darken my skin tone. - Absorption After fully absorbing, over time a white powdery residue appears on the face. If left as is, this white residue will start to pill and flake off. So I have to make sure to apply a hydrating moisturizer as the last step after using this. This is why I absolutely cannot use this during the day. - Usage At first, it felt a bit stinging. Even after my skin adjusted, it still felt a bit drying and irritating when applied. So I'd recommend those with sensitive skin to do a patch test first before using this.

ConsWhen used on sensitive skin, it can be irritating. There is a stinging sensation, so I mainly use it on the T-zone.

As vertical pores started to appear, I've been using the product consistently, and while I don't feel my pores have significantly reduced, I do notice an improvement in my skin texture.
ConsI've been directly applying the dropper to my forehead and cheeks, and on some days, I experience a stinging, irritated sensation. On those days, I mix about 3 drops with my moisturizer before applying.

ConsIt didn't solve the dryness. There was always an irritating sting whenever I applied it. I never had a day without bumpy acne after using it. But it wasn't in a seriously bad state, so I just endured and used it up... However, I squeezed the bumps and ended up with scars..ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ I have no intention of repurchasing because there are many other products that can tighten pores without causing trouble, not just this one.

I was amazed at how quickly the effects showed up, even after just a few days of use.
ConsIt's not completely non-irritating, though. I have sensitive skin with a lot of acne, and if it touches areas that are irritated or have acne, it stings a lot.
