I have combination skin and am prone to developing milia and pustules. I've been gradually changing my skincare products, but milia still appear periodically. Wondering if my basic skincare wasn't suitable, I decided to purchase this product after reading reviews that it's good for milia and acne. (I used to use The Saem's Harakeke line, but it contains silicone ingredients like dimethicone, which seemed to keep clogging my pores.)
At first, I felt a bit of irritation due to the high content of Centella Asiatica extract. For about a month after starting use, I actually struggled with more dead skin cells and dryness than before. However, as time passed, I noticed the dead skin cells decreasing and it felt like hidden sebum was being drawn out. When my skin barrier felt very thin, I briefly paused use, but now I'm using it regularly with good results.
I used to do the 7-skin method, but using this toner for that can be quite irritating. As other reviewers have mentioned, it's better to use the included cotton pads for gentle exfoliation or have other moisturizing products ready. I'd recommend applying this lightly just to refine skin texture.
