What Korean reviewers say

Daiso shoppers rated this 4.8/5 across 4,605 reviews, signaling strong appeal. Detailed written reviews show more nuance: users report visible overnight calming of freshly emerged red spots, particularly when applied thickly before sleep. However, efficacy is inconsistent and individual-dependent. A notable subset found results minimal or so-so, and some experienced initial strong effects that weakened with repeated use, suggesting tolerance buildup. Reviewers stress this is a complement to active acne treatments (like salicylic acid or PHA gels), not a replacement. It works best for sensitive or barrier-compromised skin; those centella-responsive see mild soothing benefits. Whiteheads, closed comedones, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation do not respond well.

Bottom line

At $2.22, this is a smart budget pick for testing centella’s soothing potential or rotating in on sensitive days between stronger actives. It is not a standalone acne solution, but the price makes the modest, fading results forgivable.
