Among sebum-regulating products, this one seems to be a gentle one.
ConsIt seems to be weak for strong sebum removal and only effective on areas that are not too severe.
TipApply gently to the skin after coating with cotton.

It also seems to be less irritating, so I like it. Even when compared to other brands, this product effectively removes sebum, so I don't think it's necessary to buy the famous sebum-softening product from Ol@. Anyway, when using sebum-softening products, you have to physically stimulate the area, whether by extraction, cotton swabs, or water peeling, even after the softening effect. So it's normal to have temporary redness or a slight stinging sensation where you applied it. So I think this product is sufficient without needing to buy an expensive one! In summary: it has good sebum extraction and great cost-effectiveness!
ConsAfter washing my face, I can scrape off the white sebum that comes up around my nose, but I can't scrape off the really old blackheads. However, at this price and with this performance, I'm satisfied. 😋
TipWrapping makes a huge difference in whether it's done or not. After showering, generously apply it to a cotton pad and then wrap it on top!!

It's so good and effective, and my pores have gradually become less visible.
ConsNothing seems disappointing. It takes time for the results to come out.

This really helps remove sebum well, so I recommend it!
ConsThe downside seems to be that you have to buy cotton separately to use as a blotting agent.

ConsIs it a bit too strong? Maybe it's because I gently patted it with a cotton pad...

The skin feels a bit refreshed, and there are no additional breakouts, right? Those with visibly oily skin would probably benefit from using this.
ConsI think my pores barely produced any sebum. Even what little did come out required squeezing my skin to get it, and I was worried that the squeezing would just make my skin even worse.
TipThose of you who have not seen the effects of this product might as well try the cleansing balm. I have genuinely seen much more effect from this than the product.

I'm always very stressed and concerned about blackheads and pimples, but it's definitely good. I was especially surprised by the nice scent, and if you wait about 13 minutes, whether it's absorbed into a cotton pad or applied as a peel-off mask, the sebum comes up nice and white! When you clean it, the sebum just pops right out! I've tried other pore products, but the Daiso pore cleaner seems pretty good, both in terms of price and performance. It's not perfect, but I think it's a product that people who manage their pores should try at least once.
ConsThere are no downsides! Especially the fragrance is so nice. The price is also satisfactory and I'm pleased with it.
TipI usually take around 13 minutes, though most people take around 15 minutes. I'm not too sure about that, but I feel like if I stay in too long, the sebum just gets reabsorbed, so I just Hwahae and remove it!

Unbelievable. As someone who has been using it for 3 bottles so far, I'm leaving an honest review. You know that you shouldn't squeeze out blackheads, right? You have to melt and remove them, but cleansing oils can be quite irritating to the skin, and to be honest, it's difficult to melt them. Even products from pharmacies are too irritating for the skin. So these days, I've been using a method that softens and removes sebum. The method is so simple and effective, I really recommend it. I liked the Mediheal one the best, and it's available in a small size for 3,000 won at Daiso, so I strongly recommend it for those new to sebum softeners! Skin type: Combination (oily T-zone, dry U-zone, blemishes, acne, redness, large pores) #Effects - Pros: The sebum removal is really quick and easy! I saw great results on my nose blackheads. The uneven, protruding sebum around my nose was cleaned up nicely. It's a lifesaver for blackheads! I'm not sensitive, but it wasn't too irritating to my skin. Of course, compared to other products, those with sensitive skin may need to be a bit more careful. Overall If you want to try a sebum softener, I recommend this as a starter product! It removes sebum easily. It's not a long-term solution, but it worked well.
ConsThe downside is that while I saw a significant effect on my nose, I didn't see any effect at all on my forehead or chin. The small bumps and uneven texture on my chin didn't go away. The effect on my forehead wasn't particularly significant either. Also, since it's not a permanent sebum removal, the sebum keeps coming back. I'm not sure if using the softening agent frequently causes pores to enlarge or anything like that, but once the sebum is gone, it just keeps coming back.
TipFirst, gently cleanse your face and apply the toner while your skin is still damp (you can also open your pores with a warm steam towel). Soak a thin, well-adhering cotton pad with the toner and apply it generously. Don't be stingy - I used too much at first and it just dripped off 😭. Apply the cotton pad to your nose, forehead, and chin, areas with a lot of sebum, and leave it on for 10-20 minutes (I started with 10 minutes and gradually increased the time as my skin got used to it, but don't go over 20 minutes). When the time is up, remove the pad and gently use a cotton swab or sebum remover to filter out the softened sebum. At first, don't try to aggressively extract the sebum, just remove the softened parts. After removal, cleansing is a must - thoroughly cleanse your face (just a light cleansing with a cleansing foam is fine) and soothe your skin!!! Especially if you have sensitive skin. Since there will be some irritation, be sure to follow through with this step. I simply did a quick face pack or an aloe pack, then applied my skincare products.

I couldn't use them, but then I found this affordable product at Daiso and decided to try it. If you're also troubled by excess sebum, please give it a try.. You can have a smooth, velvety T-zone!‼️👃🏻 ✅Comparison of ingredients between the original and Daiso product The original product and the 3,000 won Daiso product have the same ingredients and formulation ✅Effective results Soaking a cotton pad with the product and applying it to the problem areas for about 10 minutes can visibly reduce sebum ✅Minimal irritation Even for sensitive skin, the product provides soothing care after use, so there is almost no irritation ✅Affordable price Available at Daiso for only 3,000 won, it's a very economical option
Consthere are no regrettable points!! the product performs its role extremely well!!
TipLukewarm water cleansing▶️ Soak cotton pads thoroughly and place them on troubled areas, while applying a wash-off pack on other areas▶️ After removing the cotton pads, gently press out the enlarged sebum using cotton swabs or an extractor▶️ After water cleansing, apply a soothing skincare or face pack
