It's not because the ingredients are bad, but rather the alcohol in the product can feel irritating on wounds! However, the soothing effect is amazing) I recommend this to you. I don't usually get big pimples, but I have a lot of heat on my face, large pores, and combination skin with blackheads and oily nose. I used this product about once a month for around 5 years. ㅠ.ㅠ Now it's difficult to purchase through overseas direct buying, so I'm leaving this review with a heavy heart...
ConsIf you dislike products that feel irritating, or don't like the alcohol smell/stinging sensation, or don't want something that stings your eyes, I don't recommend this!

First of all, it overwhelms with its quantity, and although it was originally intended for spot treatment, given the military's characteristic of not allowing personal items to be used freely, and since my entire face was in a state of acne alert, it was fine for me to apply it all over. It gives a feeling of removing excess oil, and I think it's a product with a generally good balance, without any tightness and also good for soothing. I would often reapply it and rinse my face with water when I was sweating during the day, and it worked very well for me. It doesn't have any particularly outstanding features, but it's not lacking either, and it's a product that I'm generally satisfied with, without causing any problems.
ConsThe first thing you notice when you open the lid is the scent! I got used to it and didn't mind it, but it's strong enough that people around me can smell it right after application. They say it smells like alcohol swabs. When you apply it, it has a stinging, tingling sensation that's addictive, but I don't think it's a good thing for the skin. Sensitive people might consider this the biggest downside.

That's why I always rely on this product for soothing and astringent purposes. I've been using it consistently for about 4 bottles now. I almost always have it stocked up, like an essential item. When I have folliculitis or acne, I can apply it on a cotton pad and place it on the troubled area to disinfect it, and it provides a refreshing, calming sensation. I also use it as an astringent during seasonal changes when my face gets flushed. Sometimes after shaving, if I get irritation, applying this gives me a soothing, cooling feeling... It has a very strong disinfectant (?) smell, but even as a highly sensitive person, I haven't experienced any adverse reactions from using it for a long time. This is my holy grail product.
ConsFirst-time users may be taken aback by the smell... My family describes it as having a dental office-like odor. This is likely due to the camphor (from camphor tree) component, which creates a stinging, pungent scent. And since it's not a gentle toner but an astringent, it contains alcohol, so it may be irritating around the eye area.

Definitely, my blemishes have calmed down and the bumps have disappeared, so I'm seeing great results! I got a discount on Hwahae, so I'm satisfied with the price and the amount.
ConsThe smell is quite alcoholic, so it's not very pleasant when applying it. And when I put it on my face, there's a stinging sensation that comes up and it hurts a little bit ㅜㅜ The effects are good, but these aspects make me hesitant to use it.
TipIt's best to apply it concentrated on the areas that need care by soaking it in cotton pads!

Applying it briefly to the troubled area shows quick effects 2. Seems to have a cooling effect
Cons1. Quite irritating 2. Leaves a drying sensation after application 3. Overpowering alcohol smell 4. Minimal effect on closed comedones
TipThis product seems suitable for those with inflammatory or pustular breakouts, rather than those with just closed comedones. It may be too harsh to apply all over the face.

He says that using it as a disinfectant stings a bit at first, but then it calms down and feels good.
ConsMy husband says it's good, but I'm worried that it might disrupt the moisture balance. I also tried applying it to my extracted areas as a disinfectant, and the smell was really like a disinfectant. I dabbed a little around my eyes with a cotton swab, and my eyes started tearing up.
TipDabbing the extracted areas with a cotton swab can help calm down the irritated extracted areas a bit. I only use it in specific areas, not all over, and use a different toner, but I think it's good as a spot disinfectant.

The capacity is large, so it seems like it will last a long time But I still wish I had bought one more, I feel a bit regretful (But that's right, it's wise to just buy one safely, since cosmetics come in so many varieties and there are so many options to choose from) It really calms down quickly Before using this, all kinds of pimples, acne, and eczema kept popping up on my face Even though I haven't used it for a long time, it's not completely cleared up, but the redness has disappeared and Lately, whenever something feels like it's about to pop up on my skin or has already come up, making it itchy and making me keep touching my face without realizing it, that feeling has gone away - it's really amazing. Yesterday I went to bed at 4pm and thought my skin was ruined today, but after putting on makeup and going out, my skin has completely calmed down with this.
ConsThe alcohol smell was as strong as I had heard, and it stung when I applied it to my skin. But I actually liked that - the medicinal smell made me feel like it was really disinfecting and treating my skin, and the stinging sensation went away quickly, leaving me with a refreshing, clean feeling. Especially lately, my skin has been in chaos, with oozing and an unpleasant sticky feeling, but the sensation of it all just blowing away and my skin feeling soft and fluffy was really relieving. Many have said that dry, sensitive skin shouldn't use this, but even though my skin is dry and sensitive, the ingredients seem to work well for me.
TipSome have said that using this makes your skin dry, so it's good to layer other moisturizing products on top. I've tried that as well, since my skin is dry, but in my case, using this alone was actually more effective and long-lasting, and my skin felt so light and comfortable. If you're going to put on makeup right after using this, you'd need to add an oily product on top. But just for calming the skin at home, I think using this alone is the best. Though that may be because I have such a sensitive skin type and react sensitively to mixing products.

After cleansing, I used it as a spot treatment, absorbing it with my palms, and at night I would apply it all over my face like a pack. Within a week, the large, inflamed blemishes have been calming down, so I'm continuing to use it. It feels like I just bought it, but I'm already almost out and need to repurchase soon~^^
ConsThe large, thick blemishes have calmed down, but I'm still getting small bumps popping up occasionally. If you have any good product recommendations to use along with this, I'd appreciate the suggestion~~^^ The scent is not really like a typical cosmetic product~ㅋㅋ It kind of smells like something from the hospital? Pharmacy? at home~~^^ Just dab it on lightly around the eye area~~
TipKeep it in the refrigerator and use it. Applying the spot treatment after showering also helps to calm down the inflammation of the blemishes~~^^

ConsIt has a dental-like smell, and you may initially feel averse to using it.
TipCompletely soak the cotton pad and leave it on your skin for 5 to 10 minutes. Gently rub the used cotton pad on the back of your neck or your arms.
