ConsThe effects weren't as amazing as I had hoped. I might have set my expectations too high.

With this product, if you soak a cotton pad generously and leave it on for about 10 minutes, all the sebum just melts away. Though you can't see it with the naked eye, when I use my aqua peeling device, I can actually see the sebum coming out - it's so satisfying! Personally, I also like the fragrance. It might not be for those who prefer unscented products, but it's not overpowering - just a subtle, pleasant scent that I find quite nice.
ConsIt can be a bit pricey when not on sale. But it's worth grabbing during Olive Young's promotions.

ConsMay feel irritating during removal if not properly soaked

However, upon using it, I was pleasantly surprised. Both the fragrance and the feel on my skin were far different from what I had anticipated, making the experience quite comfortable. As for its effectiveness, I'll need to use it several more times to draw a conclusion.
ConsThe inconvenience of having to dispense the product onto a cotton pad yourself is a bit of a hassle. Additionally, if you're not careful and apply too much product before lying down, there's a risk of the liquid flowing towards your eyes, especially if you've applied it near your nose.

I thought it might have an overwhelming alcohol scent, but the fragrance is actually quite mild and pleasant. It's great for using as a mask by soaking a cotton pad and applying it to the face.
ConsI haven't noticed any dramatic effects yet, though to be fair, I haven't been using it for very long.

It adheres nicely to other cotton pads or embossed ones too. The scent is reminiscent of alcohol or hydrochloric acid used in chemistry labs - quite a chemical smell. It gives a sharp, tingling sensation in your nose for a while. While the smell might be a bit off-putting, it's not unbearable. As for the application, true to its formula, it clings to the face like a sheet mask, adhering well due to how easily it soaks into the cotton pad.
ConsI have combination skin that isn't particularly sensitive. Initially, I didn't notice any issues while using it, but after following the instructions carefully, my skin became red and started tingling afterwards. Despite claims of being gentle, I found it quite irritating. As it's a sebum softener, I left my skin alone for a week before using it to get a clear comparison. I didn't really feel like it softened or removed sebum effectively. Especially on my nose and chin, where I have the most blackheads and whiteheads - there were many when I received the product, but disappointingly, there was little to no change after use. Regarding the smell, it can give you a slight headache if you inhale it for too long. I used it twice a week but couldn't get used to it. It's not terribly unpleasant, but it might vary from person to person. I think it just didn't suit me, as everyone's skin is different.
TipFor those who find that the product effectively softens and removes sebum but experience some warmth or tingling on the face, I recommend using a soothing pad or applying a chilled cica pack from the fridge after rinsing off the product residue with lukewarm water. Personally, after cleansing, I applied a cica ampoule, massaged with a chilled gua sha tool from the fridge, and used a cica sleeping pack before bed. The next morning, I noticed significantly less warmth and tighter pores. My skin looked so good, I could hardly believe it had been irritated the day before.

It's also great at controlling excess sebum.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that you need to soak it into a cotton pad and wrap it for the best results.
TipUsing Daiso cotton pads works really well for better adherence!

While not unscented, the fragrance wasn't overpowering and had a pleasant, subtle scent. The texture was nice and light, similar to a regular toner, which I appreciated. I was satisfied that I could easily control how much I used!
ConsThe downside is that although it's marketed as a sebum softener, it doesn't magically remove sebum and doesn't seem much different from regular pore cleansers. Also, those with super sensitive skin might experience a tingling sensation, but despite my atopic and sensitive skin, I didn't find it irritating!
TipHere's a pro tip: instead of just using warm steam, try holding a hot towel on your face for a while to open up your pores before using the product. You'll likely see better results. Also, instead of regular cotton pads, try using those silky textured ones - they work even better! And don't forget, the finishing step is crucial! After using the softener, don't just leave it - finish with an emulsion for the best results!

I mainly use it on my nose, and I love that the scent isn't overpowering either!
ConsWhile it might not be strong enough for those stubborn, deep-seated blackheads, I'm still satisfied with the product's effectiveness overall. However, if you follow the instructions and use a cotton swab, it only removes surface sebum!
TipUsing this before extraction works wonders! You don't need to apply much pressure, which helps reduce irritation!

To use, soak a cotton pad and remove sebum with a cotton swab. Since it's the changing season, my sebum production wasn't too severe, and I was worried it might be irritating, so I only removed sebum around my nose area with a cotton swab. Surprisingly, it was quite effective at removing blackheads! I was amazed at how smooth my skin became! I think this would be great to use in summer! - Scent: Sometimes products can have overpowering scents, but this one has a mild fragrance that's not unpleasant to use!
Cons- I didn't find any major drawbacks! I think it would be good to use carefully to avoid irritation!
Tip- Make sure to moisturize well after use!
