I've gone through 7 bottles already. "It's just straightforward, no frills." I think this is the best niacinamide product out there. The texture has a slight viscosity and feels a bit sticky when applied. While it doesn't completely prevent blemishes, it does seem to help manage them to some extent. When used in skincare before makeup, it seems to reduce oiliness a bit (though some still comes through - we'll tackle that with powder!). I feel like something's missing if I don't use it, so even if I stray occasionally, I always come back to buying and using this product! The glass container might be a bit heavy, but I appreciate that they've put thought into preserving the formula. As a side note, COSRX has great prices and product quality (though I'm not completely satisfied with everything). I've used many of their products and highly recommend them.
ConsIf you spill it around the opening, it turns white when it dries. But it didn't bother me. It can sting when applied to weakened skin barriers! But I often just applied it and covered it with a repairing cream anyway.
TipWhen first using, start with a small amount to check for any skin reactions. Due to its high concentration, it may irritate the skin, so when using with retinol or vitamin C, alternate between morning and evening use or gradually acclimate your skin. Our skin is precious, after all!

Currently on sebum-control medication for about 5 months. Combination dehydrated skin. Sensitive. Blackheads on nose and whiteheads on chin. Large pores and acne scars including boxcar, icepick, and other indented scars, plus red marks all over my face. My natural complexion is a grayish, dull muted tone with yellow undertones, but it's now chaotic with red acne marks. 1. Good ingredients (according to Hwahae) 2. No skin irritation (considering the high concentration of niacinamide) 3. Doesn't cause more blemishes 4. Appropriate amount 5. You can see the typical niacinamide effects without any fuss
Cons1. When the product gets around the container opening and hardens, it's difficult to clean. It sticks firmly and is hard to remove. (This seems to be due to the niacinamide ingredient) 2. I'm not sure about any dramatic effects

But when you apply it to your face, it adheres so well and becomes wonderfully elastic. I'll definitely repurchase this!
ConsThis isn't really a downside, just something I noticed while using it. It must be due to the ingredients. Before use, it's a clear liquid, but after it dries, it turns white. Be careful not to spill it on the floor!

ConsIt dries up and turns white, creating a bit of excess powder. The scent isn't very pleasant

I hope by the time I finish the bottle, my pores will have shrunk!
ConsI haven't used it long enough to find any major drawbacks. The only minor inconveniences are figuring out the right amount to use, which varies from person to person, and the slight product buildup that dries white around the container's opening.

(for dry, acne-prone, thin skin) I was using Paula's Choice BHA Liquid well, but in winter, when it's already so dry, the BHA seemed too harsh, causing more dead skin cells to surface... Still, I wanted to keep a product for blemishes and dead skin cell management in my routine, as those tiny bumps were really stressing me out. Looking closely at the BHA Liquid, I noticed another main ingredient was niacinamide. I heard it's good for brightening and textured blemishes, so I decided to buy this. With 20% concentration and zinc in the formula, I chose this COSRX product. Luckily, I could get it at a good price during a Hwahae sale with some points added. I've been applying it every night, and it's not irritating + it definitely seems to smooth out my skin better than when I don't use it. Acne scars also seem to fade faster than if I just left them alone. If nothing goes wrong, I think I'll keep using this~~
Cons20ml is indeed a small amount... It runs out quickly when I apply it generously to my face every evening. When you think about it that way, it's not really that cheap ㅜㅜ If you spill it somewhere, wipe it up immediately! It turns white and hardens as time passes!!
TipAcne can't be completely cured by cosmetics alone... Make sure to drink lots of water, keep your face hydrated, reduce flour intake, go to bed early - stick to these habits while using the product!! Also, keep the product in a place away from light~
