It also significantly reduced my blemishes.
ConsIt feels a bit drying. While it might be too dry for those with dry skin, it's excellent for combination or oily skin types!

I have to say, my blemishes have reduced a bit...
ConsAt first, it feels fine after application, but later my skin becomes extremely dry. Also, my face gets super sensitive - when I lie on my side or face down, my skin feels incredibly tingly where it touches the pillow! That's why I especially don't recommend this for those with super sensitive skin!!
TipIf you apply a generous amount to your blemish-prone areas before bed, you'll notice your blemishes shrink a bit.

It's perfect for those with extremely oily skin. When applied in moderation, the absorption and texture feel just right. I also appreciate its unscented formula, which doesn't irritate. This product really helped calm my skin when I was dealing with excessive sebum production and acne breakouts. Having sensitive skin, I often struggle to find suitable cosmetics, but this one is gentle enough to work well for me. Highly recommended for those with very oily skin!
ConsSince developing combination dehydrated skin, I'm not sure if this product is the cause, but my skin became so dry that I can no longer use it. This product lacks both hydration and oil content for standalone use (except in summer). It feels more like a toner. After prolonged use, I noticed extreme tightness and dryness in areas other than my T-zone. Desperate to make it work, I tried layering it with other products, but it seemed to only clog my pores without providing any real benefits to my skin. Strongly discouraged for those with combination dehydrated skin!
TipThis might be suitable for occasional use when your skin is feeling sensitive, excessively oily, or temporarily dry during travel. However, it's a bit lacking as a daily skincare product.

When I'm doing my makeup, I feel like this emulsion is a must-have in my base routine - it seems to make my makeup apply even better. I plan to keep using Papa Recipe's emulsion consistently in the future.
ConsThe only downside is that the scent isn't great, but the effectiveness is so good that I continue to use it regularly.

It moisturizes and softens the skin. It's particularly known for calming acne inflammation, making it beneficial for blemish-prone skin. Azelaic Acid: Derived from wheat, rye, or barley. It helps inhibit acne bacteria growth and aids in controlling sebum production. Centella Asiatica Extract: A type of herb also known as 'tiger grass' because tigers supposedly rub against it when wounded. It has skin regenerating properties and is widely used in ointments and cosmetics. Undaria Pinnatifida Extract: A plant-based active ingredient that protects the skin from external factors and improves elasticity. Arginine: A natural amino acid that's a key component of proteins. It's involved in collagen activity, helping to improve skin condition. Most of the natural ingredients included are beneficial for acne-prone and troubled skin. It's a shame that the product contains the three ingredients I'll mention in the 'bad' section - it would have been even better without them.
ConsIngredients that may not be suitable for sensitive skin: Propylene Glycol: Used as a fragrance, moisturizer, and skin conditioning agent. It has a moderate risk rating on EWG. Carbomer (Carboxyvinyl Polymer): A substance that may potentially contain the harmful chemical benzene. Propylene Glycol, despite its excellent feel on the skin, can potentially cause various side effects. It's a substance that may affect the kidneys, which is why it's banned as a food additive in Germany. Carbomer is controversial because it may contain benzene, a harmful substance. This depends on the manufacturing process, and there's no way for consumers to verify whether the carbomer in this product contains benzene or not. Personally, I think it's best to use products that don't contain carbomer at all. I never want to recommend products with even slightly controversial ingredients. In my opinion, a truly safe cosmetic product should only contain ingredients that are completely free from any issues.
TipThe product is transparent and fragrance-free. It absorbs relatively quickly, but using Papa Recipe Trouble Hide-and-Seek Oil Minus AC Emulsion alone might not provide quite enough hydration. There's no sticky feeling or discomfort when applying.

I also noticed it helped calm my blemishes.
ConsHowever, it felt a bit drying during winter. Even when I used it with a toner, it controlled oil but left my skin feeling too dry after a while. As the weather improved, it became more tolerable. I think this would be perfect for summer use.

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.ProsIt's incredibly hydrating with a super lightweight formula that glides on smoothly and absorbs really quickly. It seems to even out skin texture too. For blemishes, you start to see results pretty soon after you begin using it. Great for oily skin, though those with dry skin might feel a bit of deep dryness.
ConsWhile my blemishes didn't get worse, I can't say they've improved much either. I've been using it for quite a while now, but I'm not seeing any more progress, so I'm thinking about switching to something else.
TipInstead of rubbing it in, try patting it on for better absorption.

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.ProsIt has a cool, slightly watery feel with a nearly unscented fragrance. It seems to refine skin texture nicely... leaving it moisturized. Since switching to this, I've noticed my skin isn't as oily as before. What's most impressive is that I bought the AC toner, emulsion, and BHA soap as a set, and my previously irritated skin has calmed down significantly. The frequency of blemishes has also noticeably decreased. I recently finished the products and have already repurchased to continue using them.
ConsIf you accidentally apply it near your eyes, it can sting - ouch! Other than that, I don't really have any complaints.

I used it together with the toner.
ConsSince it has no rich feeling at all, it can leave your skin feeling a bit dry. It might be a bit challenging to use in winter.
TipI think it would work well if used alongside a hydrating moisturizer that doesn't cause blemishes.

ConsIt's so lacking in hydration that my once-oily skin has turned into combination dehydrated skin, not even just dry.
