  Pros

  This product doesn't have any particular strengths or weaknesses. As far as I can remember, I bought it for around 10,000 won, which is its biggest advantage. At that price, the 150ml volume is quite good, so the cost-effectiveness is excellent. Another positive is that it absorbs very quickly, and as a gel-type lotion, it works well for oily skin types in the summer. In terms of moisturizing power, it's just average - not too oily. I'd recommend this to someone looking for an inexpensive option. Personally, I have a lot of acne on my forehead, but I didn't notice any improvements or worsening after using this. Oh, and the packaging is unique and looks refreshing, not something you see everywhere.

  Cons

  As I mentioned, there aren't any major pros or cons, but it does tend to be quite drying... The moisturizing ability is really lacking. Maybe because I'm very sensitive to scents, the alcohol smell keeps bothering me. Even after the alcohol smell fades, there's a polarizing fragrance. While I listed it as a positive, it's not actually marketed as an acne-improving product, so using it didn't make my acne better or worse. And sometimes when I apply it, my face gets quite red and irritated. I was going to recommend this to cash-strapped students, but after looking at the ingredients, I'd advise saving up and getting a better product instead.

  Tip

  Of all the lotions I've tried, this is the cheapest and most disappointing. I had high hopes for Holika Holika, but I was foolish.
