I have extremely sensitive, acne-prone skin with concerns about acne scars and pores, though fortunately no major scarring. In short, I have incredibly sensitive, acne-prone skin. Application: Feels like a typical aloe gel Scent: Smells like antiseptic, but not overwhelmingly so - just a mild medicinal scent Effectiveness (this is my personal experience, as everyone's skin is different): - Papules: Extremely effective - Pustules (yellow pus-filled): Slight improvement, but noticeable - Closed comedones: Almost no effect (99.9% ineffective) - Folliculitis: Some improvement, similar to effect on pustules This product is absolutely amazing for eliminating papules in their early stages! For mid to late-stage papules, it takes a bit longer to reduce them, but it definitely works. I spotted a papule one morning, applied this product that morning and evening, and the next day the inflammation was gone, leaving just a slightly raised bump. I was impressed, so I applied it again morning and evening. By the following day, it had subsided so much that you could barely tell it was there - you'd have to touch it to notice anything. There's still a tiny bit left, but after applying morning and evening for about two days, the results are great. Papule effectiveness: Excellent For pustules, the effect is... subtle, but you can gradually see it calming down. It definitely helps soothe them - they do get smaller compared to the previous day. Pustule effectiveness: Good Unfortunately, it's 99.9% ineffective for closed comedones. I'm leaving that 0.1% because while it didn't work for my closed comedones at all, it might work for yours...? Closed comedone effectiveness: Poor For folliculitis, the effect is similar to pustules, maybe slightly less effective. But it does help reduce them. Folliculitis effectiveness: Good Let's all fight acne together! Fighting! Oh, and thank you to the Hwahae staff for adding this product after my request!
ConsWhether on the official website or elsewhere, this product costs 56,000 won for two 6ml tubes. It's really expensive. But once I buy it, including the samples, it lasts me about 2 months. So I guess it's not too bad... Still, it is pricey, especially since I'm a high school sophomore.
TipI'm not sure if this qualifies as a pro tip, but be careful not to apply too much as it can irritate your skin! Just apply enough to lightly cover the blemish. I applied it a bit too thickly once, and the inflammation actually increased, causing more redness than the day before.
