ConsThe scent might be hit or miss / Not unbearable though
TipVery convenient when used with the cotton pads included in the Olive Young special set

The product itself was just a bonus, while the scaler was the real deal for me. However, the product's ability to remove dead skin cells is also excellent! I even apply it behind my neck and ears. When I put it on before washing my face and showering, I can feel the sebum and dead skin cells behind my ears are gone after I finish showering. And that's without even using the scaler! The texture is great too. It's not completely liquid, but has a slightly viscous consistency that makes it easy to apply.
ConsThe scent is quite disappointing. I guess this must be the mung bean fragrance?? It has a rather overwhelming floral scent that makes me feel a bit... uneasy. The amount is also a letdown. I tend to use products generously, so I feel like it'll be gone after about 10 uses.

Following the instructions, I left it on for about 10 minutes. Right after use, I noticed small bumps on my skin and slight redness. I immediately applied a soothing product, which calmed it down quickly. The next day, my skin felt much softer and clearer. However, if you have super sensitive skin, 10 minutes might feel a bit long. I recommend starting with shorter periods and gradually increasing the time. For sebum management, this product shows really powerful effects. Using it once or twice a week along with soothing care should be very satisfying. When using, you can remove the raised sebum with the included scaler product. The sebum comes off easily without much irritation.
Cons# 10-minute application may be irritating for those with sensitive skin # Bumps or redness may appear immediately after use # Soothing care is essential, otherwise irritation may occur # Not very effective on chin whiteheads

It was incredibly refreshing when it softened and removed the sebum trapped in my pores. I felt proud looking at my reflection in the mirror, seeing how clean and tidy my skin looked!
ConsWhen exfoliating, as I remove the sebum stuck in my pores, my skin tends to dry out and turn a bit red. This effect lasts about a day. The upside is that it definitely softens the sebum and removes it effectively.
TipAfter showering, I found it easier to extract the sebum trapped in my pores in the warm, steamy bathroom. The skin didn't dry out, making the process smoother. However, the redness is unavoidable, but it quickly subsides if you apply a soothing mask afterward.

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.ProsI bought this right away when it came out in collaboration with Soyoon. I've been using it for a solid month since receiving it on 3/18. I'd say I have deep-seated sebum issues. While my pores are small, the problem is that sebum builds up inside and doesn't come out easily, forming small bumps. I've always worried about squeezing them because it could enlarge my pores. But after using this product, I'm truly satisfied. First off, it's great at removing sebum. Plus, it's less irritating than that famous aesthetic product (emulsion something), making it perfect for at-home use!
ConsHmm, there's not really anything to complain about.. I didn't get any blemishes either.. It was great!
TipThe key point is soaking it, and I'm really happy using those nose-shaped cotton pads from B-plain! I place them on my nose and cheek areas (using thinner pads for the cheeks) and steam for about 5 minutes. This really helps soften and draw out the sebum.

Great for removing blackheads and whiteheads from both the surface and deep within the T-zone pores! 2. Especially helpful in improving excess sebum and uneven texture that often occur during seasonal changes. 3. I loved how it helped improve skin texture and remove dead skin cells!
Cons1. It feels a bit strong, so I wouldn't recommend using it for too long.
TipAfter cleansing, pat your face dry, then apply a generous amount on a cotton pad and place it on your T-zone and nose! The instructions say to leave it on for about 10 minutes, but that caused some blemishes for me, so I left it on for a bit less time and gently rubbed it with a cotton swab or the special applicator. Don't try to solve everything at once, as it can enlarge your pores. Be sure to be very gentle and don't attempt to tackle all issues in one go!

If you focus on removing large, deeply embedded blackheads with a nose pack or by hand, and then use this daily to dissolve smaller blemishes, you'll likely be satisfied. It's not about making sebum disappear completely, but rather softening it!
ConsThe scent was a bit... unpleasant, but I suppose it's unavoidable when trying to soften sebum and cleanse pores. It's just part of the process, unfortunately.

While I have extremely oily skin, I once used a powerful sebum dissolver that actually weakened my skin barrier. Since then, I've been looking for a product that effectively dissolves sebum while being gentle. I was using a milder sebum dissolver, but after winning this in a Hwahae event and trying it out, I unexpectedly found a sebum dissolver that's even more suitable for my skin. I plan to switch to this product after finishing my current one.
ConsIf you're looking for an extremely powerful sebum dissolver, this product might not be the right fit for you.
TipThe flat part of the scaler can be a bit tricky to use. It might be more effective to gently extract sebum using the opposite end, which is shaped like an extractor.

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.ProsI've been using this product for about 2 weeks, 2-3 times a week, and here's my honest review: • The texture feels like a cleansing water with a slight viscosity. • As a Hwahae Tester, I was really impressed with the packaging. • Having combination dehydrated and sensitive skin, I was worried about exfoliation, but this product gently removes blackheads and sebum, making it easy to use. • After the first use, I didn't notice much effect on blackheads or texture, but my skin felt smoother. By the third use, blackheads seemed smaller and skin texture improved. Makeup and sunscreen apply more evenly now. I didn't notice much day-to-day, but when I put on makeup, the improvement in my skin texture was really noticeable!
ConsAt first, I couldn't control the amount and it dripped everywhere. Also, I couldn't control the pressure when scrubbing, which caused some irritation, but the product itself is really good.
TipHere's a tip: In the evening, after cleansing in the shower, pat your skin dry, then apply the product on a cotton pad to your forehead, nose, and chin. Use a silicone sheet mask cover (you can find these at Daiso) to keep it in place. Remove and gently scrub at the end of your shower - it works amazingly well! I used to use pharmacy products, but they were too harsh and caused peeling. If you want a gentler way to manage your skin, definitely give this a try!

Some areas with thinner skin are also quite sensitive. I've been using the Mung Bean Scaling Water twice a week for a week now. First off, the ingredients are fantastic! It feels like half the battle is won just looking at the ingredient list. As someone who pays close attention to ingredients, I'm extremely satisfied with the formulation for a sebum-targeting product. Its ability to dissolve sebum is above average. While it doesn't magically make every single blackhead disappear, it noticeably evens out and brightens my complexion, leaving my skin looking more refined. In terms of irritation, it's particularly gentle on the nose area. Personally, I'm prone to irritation on my cheeks and forehead, so I avoid those areas. But my nose, having thicker skin, didn't experience any irritation at all. Conveniently, that's where most of my blackheads are, so I'm able to use it effectively without any discomfort. I think I'll keep using this consistently for managing blackheads on my nose!
ConsIt does have a noticeable scent, which is quite apparent when applying it to the nose area. It's not exactly a pleasant fragrance, but it's tolerable. The scaling tool can be a bit harsh on the skin. I tried it once on my cheeks, and because you need to apply some pressure, I could see my skin getting red in real-time. Now I'm sticking to using it only on my nose and avoiding the cheek area.
TipI recommend using this about once a week! Rather than trying to eliminate all blackheads in a short period, it's better to use it consistently once a week. This approach is less irritating and more effective for managing sebum and blackheads in the long run.
