I applied it in the morning and it stayed on the edges without lifting all day. However, since I didn't engage in intense physical activities like exercise, I'm not sure how well it would hold up against sweat. But compared to sticker-type patches, I think the adhesive durability is superior. ๐ Hygienic Care with Sterile Cotton Swabs I was impressed that sterile cotton swabs were included. The cotton swabs are individually packaged, so you can tear off one side first and use it, then tear off the other side to use the remaining swab, which allows for more hygienic use. ๐ Customizable Application Area, Size, and Thickness Sticker-type patches have a fixed size, and since they are adhesive, it can be difficult to cover areas with high contours, like the jawline, or larger areas. But with this product, you can apply and dry it however you want, without any issues. As it dries, it becomes more transparent, and once fully dried, it has a peel-off pack-like feel. ๐ Non-Artificial Ingredients No fragrance or plastic adhesive ingredients! It's amazing that even though the formula changed from a cream to a patch, there are no adhesive ingredients added. Although individual differences may exist, my fairly sensitive skin was able to use it well.
Cons๐ฆ Not so effective on small blemishes It seemed to have some effect on larger blemishes, but I didn't see much effect on small, stubborn blemishes. I had hoped it would work regardless of the size of the trouble, since it can be applied in any amount. ๐ฆ Dosage Control is Essential At first, I tried to apply just a tiny amount, like a drop of ant tears, but ended up soaking the cotton swab. When I applied it thickly, it was too thick. If you apply it too thickly, it's easy to peel off later, but even after it dries, it doesn't become fully transparent and leaves a slightly yellowish tint. I'll need to get more used to controlling the amount.
TipFor small blemishes, you can apply a very thin layer and then cover it with makeup. But thorough drying is essential!

Skincare was possible without any issues, and the base makeup also looked quite natural~ (It dries with a glossy finish)
Cons- Patch removal Due to the strong adhesion (?), the patches had to be peeled off separately after washing, and if applied too thinly, the removal could be irritating~ - Drying time To check the drying time, I applied a thin layer on top and a thicker layer on the bottom, and checked after 1 hour. As you can see, the area with the thin application dried, while the thicker application was still not fully dried, right? The thin application took around 15 minutes to dry, while the thicker application had a dried surface, but the inside was still not completely dry~ - Flow When applied thickly, there is also the downside of it flowing downwards due to gravity! - Soothing effect It did not have any effect on the acne that had already started to appear. Also, while it claimed to be effective on blackheads and whiteheads, after using it for 3-4 days, I did not see any results. (Do not use on extracted acne or wounded areas!)

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- The disposable cotton swabs were individually packaged, making them hygienic and convenient. - They dried faster than expected, so there was no inconvenience. - Unlike adhesive patches, I could apply them to a wider area without any quantity restrictions, so I could easily cover any trouble spots that were about to appear. - The product itself was not very irritating and had a mild fragrance, so it was not burdensome to use on troubled skin. - The double-lid design allowed me to use and maintain the product in a clean manner.
Cons- Although it is stated that the product can be applied thinly and makeup can be done on top, after drying, the surface becomes smooth and matte, so the makeup does not adhere well, and the shiny areas are quite noticeable. If I have to wear makeup, a thin adhesive patch might be better. - The effectiveness of the product varies depending on when you apply it, and it's not easy to know in advance where the trouble spots will appear, so I often end up applying it after the blemishes have already formed. While there were many positive reviews about the effectiveness, it didn't seem to work as well for me when I applied it after the blemishes had already appeared.

When I applied it and went to sleep, it would visibly subside by the next day. It was also great that it stayed in place well after just one application and drying. The cotton swabs that came with it made it easy to use.
ConsThe product's texture seems similar to wood glue. It starts off white and gradually dries to become transparent, and the sticky texture is reminiscent of wood glue as well. So if you apply it incorrectly, it's not easy to wipe off, and it feels difficult to apply. Also, since this is a product you have to use before your skincare routine, you have no choice but to leave your dry skin alone while it dries.

I often get blemishes on my forehead and chin... It was a hassle to apply them one by one, but it's so convenient and great to apply a large area!! It comes with a cotton swab, and the 100% cotton swab is individually packaged with Okotext certification!! After washing and drying, without applying anything, just dab the skin with the cotton swab. After 5-10 minutes, it turns into a transparent film and adheres tightly. They say this patch is for pre-emptive use before blemishes appear, but I've used it on blemished skin, and there's no irritation at all. It contains tea tree leaf, vitamin tree oil, and salicylic acid, which are effective for skin soothing and exfoliation. Even after the blemish has formed and is subsiding, I think it's good to apply the cream patch. I've tried so many spot treatments, but I think the biggest advantage is that I can apply it to the exact area I want. When you open the cream container, there's an extra lid inside. They say they use a double lid to prevent contamination!! It's not inconvenient at all, and it's actually better to use the spot cream in a more hygienic way! The effect wasn't an immediate reduction of the blemish after it formed, but there was a calming and soothing effect with the redness subsiding. Definitely, if there's a lot of dead skin or pores are clogged, or if there are blackheads on the nose area, applying a thin layer and checking the next day, the skin is clearly soothed and cleared!! It seems like a really good pre-emptive care product before blemishes appear. If you manage your skin condition in advance on bad days, it seems like blemishes won't appear!) I think I'll keep using it consistently as a pre-care product.)
ConsThe next day, when removing it from the skin, it doesn't come off very easily, so wipe it off gently with a damp cotton pad.

(If you apply too much and then move around a lot while drying, it will drip...)
Cons๐ I thought it would be too much for me to put makeup on top of it like a regular pimple patch. As it dried, it did have a bit of a wrinkled feeling, so when I put makeup on top, it looked a bit wrinkled.

When blemishes appear, I cleanse the area and then apply the cream thinly to the dried skin using a sterilized cotton swab. (The thicker you apply it, the easier it is to remove) When the cream becomes transparent, I apply my basic skincare products (and makeup) as the finishing touch. To remove it, I use warm water and it comes off easily. As for the usage, personally I think it's best to apply the cream thinly if you're going to wear makeup. Applying it too thickly can make the surface uneven and opaque even when fully dried. The cream has a yellowish tint to it, which I find amusing. I find it better to apply it thickly before bed and sleep in it, rather than when going out. When applying makeup, it feels like the cream creates a protective barrier so the cosmetics don't directly touch the blemishes. The package comes with sterilized cotton swabs, which are thicker than regular ones, and I find that really helpful. Blemish patches are clearly visible and have distinct edges, but applying the cream and letting it dry provides great adherence. Once dried properly, I don't have to worry about it falling off even when making facial expressions or laughing, which is the biggest advantage. Of course, it also has soothing effects. Women often get blemishes around the mouth and chin area, which have a lot of movement and contours, so I was careful not to smile much and felt like I was wearing a face mask. This product was perfect for solving that concern. It's also said to be effective on blackheads and whiteheads, so I'm going to try it on my nose as well!
ConsI understand, it must have been quite uncomfortable. For those with just one or two blemishes, they may be able to apply this product carefully, but in my case, with more than that, it wasn't as effective. Ultimately, the most disappointing thing is that I didn't see significant results on my skin... That's the biggest letdown.
TipIt's very important to only apply this blemish prevention product to areas without any broken skin, as it can be extremely irritating. If you apply it in the evening, I recommend doing it on a morning when you have some extra time to cleanse, as it takes a bit of effort to remove due to the strong adherence. I would recommend this product more for those who have just a few scattered blemishes, rather than those with widespread breakouts across the face.

ConsIrritation: (Slight stinging sensation upon application) Price: (More expensive than benzoyl peroxide-based acne treatments, which are considered among the most effective. The price feels a bit burdensome considering the usage, quantity, and effectiveness) Patch: (Adheres well after drying, but may be too strongly adhered, making it difficult to remove)
TipAs time passes and you need to remove it, do not peel it off with your nails. Instead, soak it in water first, then gently wipe and peel it off with a cotton pad or swab.

First, my skin has scattered acne, cystic acne that I've had since I was a student. Pros: 1. The feeling when applying is more like a cream than an ointment, which I like. 2. For my milia, using it consistently has been effective. 3. The drying time is short, around 5 minutes. 4. The disposable cotton swabs!!!! They're so hygienic, I really like them. 5. The transparent, colorless formula is undetectable.
ConsCons: 1. It has a nail polish-like scent (haha). 2. Removing it? They say it washes off easily with lukewarm water, but it doesn't come off easily, so I have to rinse and rub it several times.
TipSince I didn't have time to wash my face multiple times in the morning, I applied it in the morning and washed it off in the afternoon. Actually, applying it in the morning and washing it off in the afternoon seemed to work better, as any mask or dust would stick to the patch rather than my skin.

I don't usually use products like this often, as my skin isn't prone to a lot of acne breakouts. When I do get the occasional stubborn pimple, I would just slap on an emergency patch, pick at it with my fingers, and not really apply any ointment - just let it heal on its own over time. Recently, I've had to do a lot of photo shoots, so I've been focusing more on taking care of my face. I was lucky enough to win this product in a giveaway, and I'm really glad I got to try it out. 1. The cotton swabs come individually packaged with a cap, so I can use them cleanly and in line with the product's purpose. 2. I can apply it not just on active breakouts, but also on any spots that have become irritated or wounded. It acts like a patch, covering them up so I can still wear makeup without any issues. 3. Of course, you won't see dramatic results overnight, but I did see faster improvement compared to just leaving it alone. It's great to apply it preemptively when I feel a breakout coming on.
Cons1. The product dries up and hardens like a patch, so you have to put in some effort to scrub it off during cleansing. It can leave a white, flaky residue, and you might not be able to fully wash it off, especially around the hairline. 2. As expected, it doesn't work miracles overnight. You need to use it consistently to see the benefits, but there aren't really any major downsides to it.
TipI like to apply a generous amount before bed. But be careful around areas with wrinkles, like the eyes and mouth - I found that when I slept on my side, the product would kind of 'seal' those areas, making the wrinkles more pronounced in the morning.
