For localized use. The pus hardens and peels off like a wound 2-3 days later. But it seems to be discontinued, so I'm using it sparingly...
ConsThe applied area becomes dry. Those sensitive to sulfur compounds should not use it (my husband had side effects). I'm using it well.

My skin is generally good, but around my period, I get one or two large, inflamed pimples. As I've gotten older, it takes about a month for them to subside, and I end up with some discoloration. When a pimple is about to surface, if I apply the product well, it comes up within two days and then goes away again. If I keep applying it for a day or two after that, my menstrual cycle clears up and the pimple disappears. The effects are immediate. It also seems to have a blemish-reducing effect on existing pimples, so I dab it on with a cotton swab.
ConsThe smell is somehow, I don't know, it's a strong and frightening ointment smell, like it's going to completely peel off my skin. When I apply it to my skin, it feels like it's burning and heating up. I'm scared, so I only apply a little bit at a time, but looking at the ingredients now, it's not as serious as I thought.
TipMany reviews say that this product causes flaking after use, and when I apply it, a thin, plastic-like layer does peel off as it dries and hardens. I suppose that's part of the healing process? I've found that if I apply it thinly, especially at night on just the problem spots, it dries quickly without any peeling issues, and I can apply makeup over it in the morning. The thick application seems to be what causes that flaking. It's amazing for spot treatment, but don't use it around your eyes - it's way too irritating. I stopped using it for a while because the smell was so off-putting, but then my acne flared up again, so I started using it regularly. Even after a break, it still works really well for me.

ConsThe fragrance might be a bit strong, I suppose. And it causes a bit of flakiness while the blemish subsides.

The effect is really good.
ConsThere are times when it stings quite a bit when applying it. The case also feels very easily damaged, like a hand cream case, so you have to be careful when twisting the cap or it can get damaged.

When I wake up in the morning, the redness has subsided. I'd feel anxious without it!
ConsIf only the packaging was more durable, it would be even better.

It's more simple than the oil, but this is a gel? The formulation is convenient and better for moisturizing.
ConsWhile it may be effective for soothing trouble ((inflammation)), it doesn't seem to be very effective for reducing it. I've seen many cases where people have mixed feelings about the scent. (Personally, I'm like HO...)
TipUse it after toning your skin! Applying it before using a moisture pack (I mainly use wash-off packs) seems to enhance the effects.

If you dab it on and go to sleep, it will have subsided by the next day.
ConsIt's not effective on closed comedones (whiteheads). When applied broadly on areas with a lot of acne, it made it even worse. It's extremely irritating. ㅠㅠ
TipApply it only on the pimple using a cotton swab.

Since my skin is oily, I sometimes get breakouts, but when that happens, I just apply a small amount to the affected area before bed and the breakout calms down quickly. It seems to be effective for the occasional blemish.
ConsThe scent is a bit strong, and it can feel slightly stinging on sensitive areas at times.

The cool sensation of the ointment is also nice.
ConsThe cool sensation of the ointment may be divisive.
TipIt's best to use just enough to cover the affected area. Using more doesn't seem to increase the effectiveness.
