I was a little skeptical when I first purchased it, scared it would do more damage, but my husband and I noticed how much it helped with unclogging the oil build up on our nose and chin. We both used it in our nightly routine (and we used the cosrx low pH good morning gel cleanser in the morning).
Both he and I have combo skin with an oily t-zone while our cheeks on the drier side.
I’ve noticed that whenever we chose to use a different cleanser for a few days or if we skip this product in our routine, our “strawberry nose” returns (sebaceous filaments) and I can physically feel and see the clogs.
The only con when using this product is that we need to moisturize our face ASAP or else it feels tight.
We’ve tried using Some By Mi’s miracle toner and really localizing it on just the t-zone, but my husband’s skin gets really irritated and red. I suspect it’s because of the tea tree ingredient.
Are there any other toners, cleansers or products out there that you folks would recommend for someone tackling a strawberry nose with combo skin or do you think we should just stick to this as our HG cleanser?
Thank you!

Very good for oily acne prone skin. Clears up all your sebum.
Big fan of this cleanser! Felt it wasn’t drying and left my face hydrating, while keeping pimples at bay
ETA: completely missed your question at the end, but I’m enjoying the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng toner. Should be ok for your husband since he has sensitive skin
i like it, it’s one of those cleansers that make your skin feel CLEAN clean and helps with breakouts. but i agree that you need to moisturize quickly after or it’ll feel dry. they have a similar one under their AC collection but i still prefer this one.
I love this, already have a backup. I am using innisfree bha volcanic one as well. I like it so far ☺️💗
This is truly a great cleanser. I used to use this back then and it miraculously got rid of fungal acne for me.
I also recommended this cleanser to a friend with a very acne prone skin, and this has helped keep her breakouts under control for the longest time. Each time she tried to change it to a different cleanser, her skin would experience breakouts all over again.
Very sorry, I don’t have an alternative to this that you could try.
Love this cleanser but only for when I’m breaking out, I never use it for more than a few times a week so my skin has time to rest
