Community summary
The key point is the renewal. With the switch to a version that added a textured (dotted) surface, there are positives: you can soften the sebum and then rub with the texture to remove it thoroughly, and it grips the nose more snugly than before for improved fit. Some also say the tea tree and cica feel soothing.
However, a large share of the reviews criticize the renewal. Reviews saying the old version was better, that they repurchased it for years and its discontinuation is a shame, that the sebum doesn't soften well after the renewal, and that the textured side is irritating (67 irritation mentions, 26%) show up mostly in the low ratings (28 at ★1–2). That said, even among high ratings, quite a few note disappointment with the renewal in the body of the review.
Beyond that, there are complaints that dropping the film and cotton swab feels like cost-cutting, and split opinions that the texture looks off-putting. With only 255 Olive Young reviews, we read every one, and more feedback still needs to accumulate.
These are counts of only those reviews, out of all 255 read, in which the expression appeared directly in the text (a minimum). 'Irritation' is a neutral tally that includes negative contexts such as irritation from the textured surface.
Expressions found in the reviews read (original tone kept, not rewritten)
Strengths reviewers kept mentioning
- Thorough removal with the texture (dots) — a renewal upsideSome say you can rub the softened sebum with the surface texture to remove it thoroughly. There are also usage reviews saying that wrapping the textured sheet around a finger lets you care for the butterfly zone and the creases around the nose too.
- Improved fitThe old version had the drawback of not sticking well to the nose, but there are positives that after the renewal it grips snugly with no parts coming off or lifting, making it easier to use. That said, there's also an opposing view that the weight of the texture keeps it from sticking to curved areas and lets it slide off instead, so opinions on fit are split.
- Tea tree and cica soothingSome say the tea tree and cica ingredients feel soothing during use (an impression that varies by person).
- One-step convenienceSome say it's easy to use as a one-step pack. There are also usage reviews saying there's plenty of solution, so they soak it a bit more.
Downsides (mentioned repeatedly)
- Drop in results after the renewal — the core of the low ratingsThe criticism that the old version was better, that they repurchased it for years and its discontinuation is a shame, and that the sebum doesn't soften well after the renewal shows up mostly in the low ratings (28 at ★1–2), but even among high ratings quite a few note disappointment with the renewal. Reviews saying only the old version worked for them come up again and again.
- Irritation from the textured sideThere are 67 irritation mentions (26%). Some say the textured side on the back irritates the skin unless you use a light touch. The note is for sensitive skin to rub gently.
- Complaints about the reduced contentsThere are complaints that dropping the film that wrapped the slippery gel part and the cotton swab feels like cost-cutting. Some are also put off that you have to touch it with your hands before applying.
- Split opinions on the texture's lookThere are split opinions that the textured (dotted) look is off-putting or triggered trypophobia. Some reviews mention a visual aversion apart from usability.
- Based on users' own impressionsContent about sebum and soothing reflects users' own impressions and varies by person. We make no efficacy claims.
