I've been using it like an emergency medication for years now. When I use it at the first sign of trouble, it seems to help prevent the trouble from getting too serious. Of course, it doesn't stop severe breakouts, but it helps. I also really like the refreshing, cool feeling it has when I apply it. I tried the new Kiehl's product, but this one seems better to me.
ConsWhen I apply it, I get a stinging sensation and it feels like it's really grabbing onto the trouble spots, but that's probably why the makeup tends to come off more in those areas.

It seems like it would be good to use it in the early stages of a pimple.
ConsI get pimples periodically, and when I used the sample, it seemed effective, so I purchased it. But when I used it the next time I had a pimple, I'm not sure if it had any effect. I felt a bit of irritation, so I stopped using it.

It needs to be applied frequently to be effective.
ConsEven though I have oily skin, there is a burning sensation after applying it, possibly due to the menthol ingredient.
TipUsing a cotton swab is recommended.

It does have a real effect! I wouldn't give it a strong recommendation though.
ConsAfter applying it, the strong menthol sensation feels too irritating and stinging.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFor over 3 years now, I've been using this product. It's not something I use daily, but it's like an emergency medication that I always keep at home just in case. When I apply it, the next morning I find that my acne has disappeared, but it's not a dramatically effective product. This product is effective for yellowish, pus-filled acne (the kind that looks like it's about to burst). When you have acne that has become white and swollen, if you apply the product in a circular motion, a chemical reaction occurs almost immediately, and you can see the effects (it's less effective if the acne is less developed). After letting it dry properly and washing your face the next day, the pus is gone, and the acne has subsided. It's similar to the effect of acne patches, but with a more physical, chemical action that can calm down the blemish without having to pop it. I really like this gentle product (I really dislike popping pimples). As a result, there are also fewer acne scars left behind compared to manually treating the blemishes.
ConsThere is definitely a somewhat irritating sensation with this product. It contains menthol, so it can feel stinging and uncomfortable when applied, especially on already ruptured acne. It doesn't seem suited for use on already popped blemishes. Overall, it's a product that can be quite good if used properly and with the right understanding.

First, the transparent formula was not too burdensome, and I liked it. It doesn't drip after application, which is good... Certainly, my acne seems to be gradually diminishing after using it.
ConsHowever, the amount is a bit small... I felt uneasy when purchasing it. The moment I applied it, it stung really badly due to the menthol ingredient. After application, my skin turned reddish. So I passed it on to my younger sister. I didn't have this issue when using other acne spot treatments or medications. It's best to avoid this if you have sensitive skin..
TipIt works well when applied to ripe, inflamed acne. Never squeeze your acne. Applying it after squeezing makes the scarring worse..

One thing that's certain is that the product itself is quite popular. The tip has a pointed, syringe-like shape, which makes it optimal for applying the product to 'spots'.
ConsThe menthol ingredient causes a stinging sensation around the eyes when applied. You can really feel its potency, which makes me think it might not be good for long-term use... It's not a large amount and it's not cheap, but since I don't need to use it often, I barely manage to finish a bottle before buying another one.

When I run out of my holy grail product, I'll just buy another one. I apply it to my itchy, bumpy blemishes before bed, and they're gone by the next day! It's also effective at reducing redness.
ConsThe price...the price...it's almost 30,000 won for such a small amount ㅠㅠ The feeling...? If you don't apply it properly, it stings a lot (right after squeezing it out). But I actually like the stinging sensation because it makes me feel like the pimple is going away (not a weirdo, I promise).
TipI apply it in two layers - first a thin layer, then I add a bit more on top. / I put this on after my face cream, and then I use a cotton swab to dab off the excess before applying the final layer. / Don't throw away the tube when it's empty - cut it open with scissors to use every last bit! / I only use it at night because it can make my makeup look cakey during the day.

I always apply it directly to the troubled areas with a clean finger or cotton swab after cleansing and basic skincare before bedtime. It works great on small whiteheads or minor blemishes. While it may not be as effective on cystic acne, if you use it consistently, the acne will not necessarily calm down, but it will come to a head and disappear faster. It has a similar effect to a spot treatment, so it seems to work regardless of skin type.^^ I'm not sure of the exact price, but it's around 30,000 won and the volume is 15ml.
ConsIt can be a bit stinging, though! Especially when it touches inflamed areas, it really stings like crazy haha. And because the volume is small, if it works well, you'll end up using it all up quickly... haha.
TipIf you apply it before bed like I do, this spot gel type doesn't get absorbed right away, so it can get a bit sticky on your hair when you sleep haha. So it's better to try to avoid your hair from touching your face as much as possible!

Now I've completely switched over to Kiehl's. The narrow opening makes it easy to control the amount. I apply it a little around the troubled areas, and by the next day, the redness and size have diminished. I was worried that it might cause more oil production, but that was an unnecessary concern. My skin is really sensitive, and at first, it felt a bit irritating, but it doesn't turn red and it's good. It's a true lifesaver. I even packed it for my school trip and always make sure to have it with me.
ConsThe alcohol-like scent divides opinions. Before it dries, it sticks to the hair and feels sticky, so you have to lie still until it's fully dried. I'm not sure if it's because of increased sebum production or if the effects are wearing off, but two pimples suddenly appeared last week, and even though I've been applying it consistently, the effects haven't shown yet. On the days when my skin is unusually sensitive, using it makes my face turn really red and hot.
