It definitely seems to be the best for controlling sebum production! I don't use the pure essence, but instead mix it half-and-half with water in the bottle and use it that way!!
Cons
Personally, the whiteheads on my chin don't seem to get removed very well.. It might be because they've been there for too long. Of course, they can't disappear with just one use, and you have to use it consistently!
Tip
If it's too irritating, don't use the pure essence. Instead, mix it half-and-half with water in the bottle, soak a thin cotton pad thoroughly, and apply it that way!!

I've been dealing with blackheads since middle school, and it's been a constant source of stress... Now that I've started working, I've tried all sorts of things to get rid of the blackheads, but I haven't really seen much effect. Then I bought the Lotion X and scrubbing kit, which are supposedly the ultimate blackhead killers!! I was really worried that the Lotion X would irritate my sensitive skin, but surprisingly, as long as you take good care of it afterwards, it's fine! There's nothing better than this for clearing out pores... It's a large size and a bit pricey, so I'd recommend buying the smaller, divided version.
Cons
The grease on my nose gets cleared out really well, but for some reason, I'm not sure if the grease on my cheeks and forehead is getting cleared or not... When I look in the mirror, I can clearly see blackheads on my T-zone, but the ones that are really deep-seated don't seem to come out easily! I think I'll have to use an extractor tool to squeeze those out directly.

This product is excellent for managing blackheads, whiteheads, and dead skin. Even just wiping your face like a doctor before an important day when you really need your makeup to look great can make a huge difference in your skin.
Cons
As effective as it is, the side effects can also be quite significant. Absolutely forbidden for sensitive skin. I stopped using the product after seeing the silver pumping mechanism leaking into the lotion. Looking at the ingredients, it seems there are quite a few unregistered high-concentration components, which is concerning.

If you are reading this product review, I think you have tried everything to get rid of blackheads and have come this far. If you are still hesitant and want to try other methods first, listen to the student and ajumma (middle-aged woman).. ^^ Try other methods first, and then use this product.. This is the last resort. ๐ Cleansing oils, creams, and waters have lightened the blackheads, but after 2 months of consistent use, there are still some stubborn blackheads that won't go away, so I purchased this product. This product is a godsend for melting blackheads. From the days of using Etude House blackhead softening liquid, pore strips, cleansing oils, Baha, salons, and dermatologists, I've tried everything, and this is really powerful. ๐ As I'll mention again in the drawbacks, the ultimate combination is Lotion X + Scraper. When I first used this product, I tried extracting with the extractor tool without the scraper, but the liquid I applied dried up during the extraction, and the sebum came back.. So I explored various methods and ended up buying the scraper. Using a steam towel to soften the sebum and then using the scraper is not a major flaw, but after softening the sebum with Lotion X and using the scraper, you won't be able to resist the satisfying feeling of extracting the sebum.. However, the instructions must be strictly followed (also mentioned in the drawbacks). ๐ Peppermint scent. If you place a cotton pad soaked in Lotion X on your nose, the pleasant smell will make you keep sniffing it. While doing so, the cotton pad may block your nostrils, and you'll experience a "near-death VR experience," but you won't be able to stop sniffing the pleasant scent..
Cons
๐ฝ When I first used the product, I left the cotton pad on for 20 minutes, then removed it and vigorously extracted with the extractor tool. However, the areas I hadn't touched yet had dried up, so I applied the product a little more and left it for 5 more minutes, and my skin ended up peeling as shown in the second photo. I was prescribed an 110,000 won ointment from the dermatologist, and the third photo was taken a few days ago, 3 weeks later. There's no sign of improvement. My mom even says I look like someone who had a failed nose job.. Despite the powerful effects, due to the risks, I'm giving it a 3-star rating. Be sure to follow the usage time instructions. You'll want to keep going a little longer, but we must have the virtue to stop at the right time.. ๐ฝ Using this product doesn't mean the blackheads will be completely eradicated, and you can say goodbye to them forever. Even while using this product, you need to continue managing your skin in other ways for the best results (more tips in the "Honey Tips" section).
Tip
๐ I've been managing my blackheads by using this product only once a week on a designated day, and on the other days, I use cleansing oils, creams, and waters. By aggressively removing the blackheads one day and then maintaining them on the other days to prevent them from building up or hardening, my blackheads have significantly lightened. But they don't completely disappear. ๐ As mentioned earlier, while using this product, I've been consistently managing my blackheads in other ways as well. I've tried sebum-controlling products, melting products, and oil-water balance products, but I think hydration is the most important. Whether I use cleansing oils, waters, creams, or Lotion X, I always make sure to focus on intense hydration at the end of my blackhead removal routine. Those who have experienced how blackheads appear to lighten after showering or using cleansing oils know that it's because the blackheads are swollen. Even without using this product, if I consistently provide intense hydration, the sebum and blackheads will swell and come out of the pores, making them easier to remove with an extractor tool or cream/oil rolling. I only need to use the Lotion X once a week to tackle the stubborn, clogged blackheads, like on the way back home during the Chuseok holiday. ๐ If you're worried about the potency of the original formula, you can soak a 5-layer cotton pad in water, wring it out well, and then apply the Lotion X and attach it to your skin, wrapping it with the same kind of plastic wrap used for food storage. This will reduce the sebum-softening effect compared to the original formula, but it might be a good starting point for those with sensitive skin or first-time users to find the right method for themselves.
