The point mentioned most is sebum-removal power. With 173 nose, 157 sebum, and 107 blackhead mentions, the central impression is 'you can visibly see the sebum come out — so satisfying.' As a multi-step kit you do focused care in sequence; some reviews say pairing it with a water-peeling device makes it 'like a dermatology clinic,' and there's repeated long-term trust in it as the original, used for over 10 years (some for 15).

The format is a strength. All the steps you need come in one set, so you don't have to prepare several products separately, and many say they use it about once a week to once every ten days. Some also mention good value, calling the sale promo set a great deal.

On the other hand, the renewal is a major sticking point. The core of the low ratings is the criticism that after the renewal the sheet became thinner and dries quickly so the sebum doesn't soften and the results are gone, plus irritation reviews saying the step-1 pack stings enough to cause a headache. A small number even say their pores got larger.

These are counts of only those reviews, out of the 500 read, in which the expression appeared directly in the text. 'Irritation' is a neutral tally mixing positive and negative (a minimum).

Expressions found in the reviews read (original tone kept, not rewritten)

1. Visible sebum-removal power — the central impressionWith 157 sebum, 107 blackhead, and 89 removal mentions, the central impression is 'you can visibly see the sebum come out — so satisfying.' Satisfied reviews repeatedly say the sebum lodged in the nose comes out and the surface of the nose turns smooth.
2. Multi-step kit — focused care in one setMany say it's convenient that all the steps you need come in one set, so you can do focused care in sequence without preparing several products separately. The context is using it about once a week to once every ten days.
3. The original · trustedThere's repeated long-term trust in it as the original blackhead care, used for over 10 years (some for 15). Some also say pairing it with a water-peeling device makes it 'like a treatment at a dermatology clinic.'
4. Promo-set valueSome mention good value, saying the promo set is a great deal during sales. There are 37 repurchase mentions too.
5. Low irritation, gentle feel — mostly positiveMost of the 128 irritation mentions are positive — 'less irritating than peel-off nose packs' and 'gentle' (31 gentleness mentions). That said, as in the con below, a small number say the step-1 pack stings, so sensitive skin should take care.

1. Drop in results after the renewal — the core of the low ratingsThe core of the low ratings (25 at ★1 in total, mixing renewal, stinging, and reduced results) is the criticism that after the renewal the sheet became thinner and dries quickly so the sebum doesn't soften and it no longer works as well as before. There are many long complaints missing the pre-renewal version.
2. Step-1 pack stinging — irritationSome say the step-1 pack has an irritation you can't tell is cooling or stinging, enough to cause a headache, so they took it off partway. The context is to be careful if you're sensitive to irritation.
3. Enlarged pores — minority opinionA small number of low ratings say the sebum didn't come out and only irritation reached the skin, so the pores got larger. Results vary a lot by person.
4. Variation in resultsSome compare and say that before the renewal the sebum would come off when scraped with a cotton swab, but now nothing comes out. The experience may differ by lot or version.
5. Based on users' own impressionsContent about sebum and blackheads reflects users' own impressions and varies by person. We make no efficacy claims.

• When you want removal power where you can visibly see the sebum come out. 157 sebum and 107 blackhead mentions

May not suit you if: When you're sensitive to irritation. There are reviews of step-1 stinging and headaches / When you expect the pre-renewal results. There's a lot of criticism that the results dropped / When you only want a simple stick-on, peel-off nose pack. This is a multi-step kit

• There's a note to use it in the right sequence (steps) and to press the step-1 pack on firmly, but to shorten the time or stop if the stinging is severe
• There's advice to soften the sebum fully, then tidy up with a cotton swab or the like, and to use it about once a week to once every ten days
• Some reviews say pairing it with a water-peeling device gives good care results (watch for irritation)
• The note is to remove it right away and do soothing care if you feel irritation

• Some value-focused reviews say the sale promo set is such a great deal that they stock up
