But this product actually gets rid of most of them! Since I opened it, I've barely had to squeeze any blackheads on my nose or chin.
ConsThe scent is quite strong, almost like alcohol, so I wouldn't recommend it to those sensitive to smells. While I only experienced blemishes on my nose and chin when I first started using it, the rest of my face broke out severely every time I applied it, completely upsetting my skin. Unlike its effect on blackheads, I didn't notice much improvement with whiteheads. Also, I developed blemishes when I used it on areas other than my nose and chin, where blackheads are most common.
TipTo use, dampen a cotton pad with the product and gently wipe areas with many blackheads. This helps remove sebum and makes most blackheads disappear without extracting them.

I've been using a bottle a month, and I've already gone through more than 6 bottles. The pump design is really convenient. For those with oily skin who aren't satisfied with exfoliating toners, this is an absolute must-have. If you dislike pore strips but need sebum control or blackhead management, you should definitely try this. It's a completely liquid formula with a slight herbal scent that feels refreshing. While some effects require consistent use to see results, you'll notice improved oil control right away. If you stop using it, your skin's oil production will increase noticeably.
ConsThe effects aren't dramatic. Other than that, there aren't any major drawbacks.
TipIt's better to use cotton pads that don't easily fall apart.

I use it year-round for exfoliating dead skin cells and managing sebum. It's incredibly lightweight with a strong cooling effect. Absorbs quickly - feels like it evaporates.
ConsNot suitable for dry skin in winter. It can cause tightness and increase dryness. You can compensate by following up with hydrating skincare products. Despite these drawbacks, I'm still satisfied enough to continue using it.
TipSoak a cotton pad generously and use it as a mask.

Before discovering this, I'd just grab any cheap, large-volume toner and follow it with a skin. But when a friend recommended this, I bought it after finishing my old products. After cleansing, I soak a cotton pad and wipe my face as if I'm cleaning my pores. You can see the impurities on the pad afterwards. Since seeing that, I always use this! It reduces oiliness and leaves my skin feeling clean. Those tiny bumps around my face have decreased too. I'm still on my first bottle, so there's no dramatic change, but I can feel the difference myself.
ConsIf you have dry skin and only use this toner, you might not be satisfied. Don't think of it as just a toner - consider it as a pore cleanser that removes any residue left after washing your face. With that mindset, you'll likely be reasonably satisfied.
TipHere's my routine: Morning: Freshener - Toner - Day Cream - Sunscreen. Evening: Freshener - Toner - Eye Cream - Firming Cream - Night Cream. For those with dry skin, I'd suggest using eye cream and lip balm, replacing the firming cream with a deeply hydrating one, or using a hydrating night cream after the firming cream.

Using it as an exfoliating toner really smooths out my skin texture and even seems to reduce the size of my pores.
ConsThe pump dispenser tends to splash the product around when I'm trying to apply it to a cotton pad. It's really not suitable as a daily toner, and instead of helping with deep dryness, it actually seems to make my skin feel more dehydrated. This is probably due to the alcohol content.
TipIt's perfect for occasional use when your skin is producing too much oil or you're dealing with large blemishes.

It works well as a light exfoliating toner. It feels like it effectively removes excess sebum left on the skin. I think it would be particularly suitable for use during summer rather than fall or winter.
ConsWhile it's marketed as a product that cares for your pores, I'm not entirely convinced. There's a slight burning sensation when applied. Initially, it feels moisturizing, but then it evaporates quickly like alcohol-based disinfectant, leaving the skin feeling tight and dry. It didn't give me the impression of being particularly beneficial for my skin.
TipI think it would be particularly suitable for use during summer.

After a while, it even smells like regular wet wipes, so I'm satisfied with the fragrance! It's also moisturizing, and after washing my face and using this, I feel refreshed, which is really great. Considering the price, you get a lot of product, making it a great value for money! For those with slight blemishes, it has sebum care properties which seem beneficial. When I used it myself, I noticed an improvement in my skin, as long as I didn't squeeze my pimples!
ConsThe only downside is that if you pump it too hard, it sprays and feels wasteful... Other than that, there are no drawbacks! I'm really satisfied.
TipTo prevent waste, gently press the pump about three times. This way, you can control the amount that comes out, with half absorbed by the cotton pad and half prevented from spilling.

My usual toner was discontinued, so I tried this product with a mix of worry and hope. To my surprise, it exceeded my expectations! It has a nice calming effect, controls sebum well, and comes in a generous size at an affordable price. I'm using it liberally and loving it. Etude's skincare basics are working so much better for me than I thought!
ConsTo be honest, there's nothing bad to say... I just wish they'd sell refills in offline stores too.
TipI highly recommend this for those with oily skin!

Plus, it leaves my skin feeling hydrated, which I love. When applying makeup, if I use this multiple times to prep my skin, there's a noticeable difference in how my makeup looks and applies compared to before. It's great that the product works so well. I'm thrilled I bought it on sale - you get a lot for a great price. I'll definitely be repurchasing!
ConsIf you only wipe once with a cotton pad, it absorbs quickly and can feel a bit drying! Also, when using the cotton pad, you have to be careful not to press too hard as the liquid can splash a bit.
TipI found it works best if you don't just do one round of skin prep, but rather 2-3 times until your skin feels super hydrated!
