  Pros

  Absorbs well: Compared to the 0.1 product, this one applies more smoothly, like an emulsion. Hydration: For oily skin types, using this product after a serum provides enough moisture that you might not need an additional moisturizer.

  Cons

  Comparing this to the 0.1 product from the same brand: Irritation: The higher concentration definitely caused irritation. It was the first time I experienced irritation from a skincare product. Initially, my eyelids stung terribly. It was so uncomfortable that I couldn't even apply sunscreen in that area. When I tried avoiding the eye area, I experienced an overall burning sensation and stinging on my face, making it impossible to apply other products. I had to stop using it. After my skin returned to normal, I tried again, but the stinging and flaking returned, forcing me to discontinue use once more. Blemishes: One of the most satisfying aspects of the 0.1 product was how it reduced acne and improved skin texture, with really noticeable results. However, this product didn't seem to have the same level of effectiveness. It's puzzling and surprising how such a difference in concentration can lead to such different outcomes.

  Tip

  This product is not suitable for those with sensitive skin. Even though I don't typically have sensitive or delicate skin, I couldn't adapt to it. I recommend starting with the 0.1 product first.

  Pros

  The device is sleek, and the ointment-like packaging that you puncture to open feels more hygienic. The texture is also quite nice.

  Cons

  The instructions say to use it 2-3 times a week initially, which I've been doing, but yesterday the area under my eyes started tingling... even though I only applied a tiny amount. Also, while it's standard to review after 2-3 weeks of use, and the event page states this too, I feel the review submission deadline is a bit short.

  Tip

  It's important to start with a small amount, gradually increase the quantity, and use it every other day for best results.

  Pros

  The texture is slightly thick, but it absorbs well. Since it's a refrigerated product, it feels refreshingly cool when applied, which I really liked! I have sensitive skin, but it didn't cause any blemishes.

  Cons

  The tube packaging makes opening and closing the cap a bit inconvenient. You really need to be careful with how much you apply. Even though I only used a small amount every other day, the skin around my mouth and cheeks started peeling, and the area around my eyes felt irritated the day after use.

  Tip

  Controlling the amount is crucial! Apply even less than you think you need!
