  Pros

  This works well for those with thicker, less sensitive skin. When used as an exfoliating toner, it leaves your skin feeling thoroughly cleansed and effectively removes dead skin cells, leaving your complexion smooth and radiant.

  Cons

  The scent is reminiscent of vinegar, which suggests it could be quite irritating to the skin. It also has a slightly slippery texture. Those prone to redness should absolutely avoid using this product.

  Tip

  It's best to use this as an exfoliating toner only occasionally, when you're dealing with a serious build-up of dead skin cells.

  Pros

  It effectively removes dead skin cells. This product truly excels at the basics.

  Cons

  I apply it with a cotton pad, but it feels quite harsh, possibly due to the friction. It's best to use this only once every two or three days.

  Excellent at removing dead skin cells. Use with caution as it can be slightly intense.

  Cons

  It's quite intense. If you apply even a little too much on sensitive areas, it feels like a mild burn.

  Pros

  First off, as soon as I used it, there was a scent reminiscent of apple cider vinegar mixed with honey water. Wondering if it was just my imagination, I sniffed it again during the second use, and sure enough... the exact same scent was there! I used it as an exfoliating toner with a cotton pad to remove dead skin cells, and it felt a bit irritating. To give you an idea, it seemed more irritating than when I use 2% BHA or 9% BHA. However, if you follow up with a hydrating toner or moisturizer, the irritation is significantly reduced. Personally, I think this product might be less irritating if you apply a small amount directly to your skin with your hands, rather than using it as an exfoliating toner. Rubbing it with a cotton pad might increase the irritation. Although it's marketed as being developed specifically for Korean skin, in my opinion, that's questionable...

  Cons

  It's a bit irritating. Moreover, it doesn't surpass the effectiveness of the existing 2% BHA and 8% AHA products. For some reason, this product is noticeably more expensive than those two. I'm a bit skeptical about why this particular product is so pricey. The ads claim it's tailored for Korean skin, but from my perspective, it seems like marketing jargon to justify the high price. I've experienced amazing results with 2% BHA, 8% AHA, and 9% BHA, but this BHA+AHA+PHA treatment feels much more irritating while being less effective compared to those three products. If they were to allow the import of 2% BHA even now, I think it would give consumers greater satisfaction. It's unfortunate that for some reason, 2% BHA is banned in our country. I won't be repurchasing. I'd rather buy 2% BHA from overseas.
