I have pretty oily skin, and I was worried that constantly squeezing my pores was making them larger. That's why I decided to give this a try. What I love is that it dissolves sebum without any irritation whatsoever. The best part? When I use it on my nose, it seems to pull out an endless amount of softened sebum... I absolutely recommend this product. It's a game-changer!
ConsDoes it not stay in place well? The only issue I encountered was having to hold it with my fingers the whole time, reapplying the liquid as it dried out.
TipApply the soft side to your skin, then use the rougher side to gently wipe the areas where you want to remove sebum. If you're having trouble getting everything out, you can use a blunt tool (like a Baskin Robbins ice cream spoon, or ideally a proper pore extractor) to gently push along your skin. That'll help you win the battle against stubborn sebum!

I'm always stressed about blackheads and pores, but this product is definitely effective. I was particularly surprised by its pleasant scent. Whether you apply it with a cotton pad or as a nose pack, after about 13 minutes, you'll see the sebum gently surfacing as white spots! When you clean it off, the sebum comes right out! I've tried other pore products, but considering its price, the Daiso pore cleaner seems pretty good. While it's not absolutely perfect, it does a decent job! I think it's probably a staple for anyone who's serious about pore care.
ConsThere's nothing to complain about! The scent is especially lovely. The price is also very reasonable, which I appreciate.
TipI leave it on for about 13 minutes. Most people do it for 15 minutes, but I'm not sure about that. I feel like if you leave it on too long, the sebum might go back in, so I remove it after that time and clean it off!

However, it's not quite enough to remove blackheads on its own. When I use this to dissolve the sebum and then follow up with the Extra Super9 Plus Sebum Softening Stick from the same line for cleansing, the blackheads on my nose completely disappear!! I use this whenever I'm concerned about sebum on my nose, and it even removes dead skin cells, leaving my skin incredibly smooth.
ConsThere weren't really any downsides, but if I had to pick one, it's that using this product alone and then washing isn't quite enough. You need to buy and use the stick product from the same company too!

Plus, it's sold at Daiso for just 3000 won, making the price incredibly satisfying.
ConsThere aren't really any negative points about the product. The only slight inconvenience is that you need to warm up the area before applying it.

There's a noticeable reduction in my blackheads. My routine involves applying the sebum cleaner generously on the nose strip, leaving it on as long as possible until it's almost dry, then removing it with a cleansing balm (I use Medicube Super Cica Deep Cleansing Balm). The results are truly impressive! The second photo shows my nose before use, and the third photo is after using the sebum cleaner. For just 3,000 won, it offers incredible value for money. I didn't expect dramatic results given the low price, but I'm so satisfied that I plan to repurchase.
ConsThe formula is quite runny, which makes it difficult to use without nose strips.
TipWhile the instructions suggest leaving it on for about 10 minutes, I apply it generously on a nose strip and leave it for as long as possible, around 30 minutes. However, those with super sensitive skin should be cautious! After removing it with a cleansing balm, my nose feels incredibly clean and clear.

It's gentle enough for sensitive skin, with minimal irritation and lasting hydration after use.
ConsCons: Due to its strong cleansing effectiveness, it's best used only once or twice a week. Those with super sensitive skin might experience some dryness if used too frequently.
TipPro tip: For best results, focus application on the T-zone where sebum tends to accumulate. Follow up with a thorough hydration routine to balance oil and moisture while improving skin texture.

Leave it for about 10 minutes, then gently rub with a cotton swab. This effectively removes sebum without the harshness of pore strips. It's a gentler method that's less irritating to the skin, which I really appreciate!
ConsI can't think of any downsides to mention. It works great!

It was my first time using a sebum softener, so I tried it with some skepticism. But it works especially well on removing sebum from my nose and T-zone. Using it once every 1-2 weeks leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh. My skin tends to burn or develop small bumps when I use the wrong products, but I've had no such issues with this. I'm really enjoying using it.
ConsThe effectiveness of sebum removal varies greatly depending on how you use it!
TipFor best results, use very thin cotton pads sold as 'half cotton pads'. Soak them thoroughly in the solution and place them on your skin. Then take a warm shower, washing your hair and body while trying to keep the pads from getting too wet. By the time you're done, you'll see the sebum has formed into little balls. At this point, you can gently scrape it off with a comedone extractor for a super clean finish. I've tried using warm towels too, but letting the steam from the shower naturally soften everything while the pads are on your face is far, far more effective.

I used it after showering when my nose was soft. I applied it, waited a bit, then gently wiped with a cotton swab - and wow, the blemishes really came out! Usually, I just manage my pores with cleansing oil, but after getting this sebum softener, I use it once every 1-2 weeks. It's so satisfying to feel how smooth my nose becomes!
ConsThe only slight concern is the mild scent, but it's not a major issue.
TipIf you have thin, sensitive skin, don't leave it on for too long or use it too frequently. About 10 minutes is enough, then remove it right away. When you apply it to open pores on your nose, it absorbs quite quickly, so you don't need to leave it on for long. Keeping it on for too long can be harsh on your skin. Be careful not to rub too hard, as this can enlarge your nose pores. Instead, use a cotton swab to gently wipe it off, or if you have a comedone extractor, use that to lightly push. After using the sebum softener, it's great to follow up with a pore-tightening product for best results!

(Bought 250ml at Olive Young.) Effects: It's for combination dehydrated skin. Does it work? Kind of. It reduces sebum production a tiny bit. Honestly, you're better off buying a blackhead-removing cleansing oil from Olive Young. This produces even less sebum than a cleansing oil, haha! Skin types I'd recommend this for: It might be okay for non-sensitive oily skin or combination skin.
ConsGot sensitive skin? Don't bother buying this. Combination dehydrated skin? Skip it. It feels like it's stealing what little moisture you have left. While it doesn't cause immediate redness, I actually broke out more the next day. What a waste of money...
