Community summary
First, about the method: this is not a peel-off strip but a 'melting' nose pack — you place it on the nose to soften the sebum, then scrape it off with the included spatula. So rather than the satisfying rip of a peel-off pack, many say it's more about tidying up gently with little irritation.
Irritation comes up a lot, in 301 reviews (60%), but most of it is in the sense of 'low irritation · gentle' (79 mention gentleness). The aim of sebum and blackhead care is clear (sebum 350, blackheads 202, pores 230), and reviews repeatedly say it's easy to use at home. With a 4.9 Olive Young rating (25,761 reviews), the sample is large and the rating is high.
On the other hand, split opinions on results are the core of the low ratings: some say not as much sebum came out as they'd hoped. There are also comments that scraping with the stick can be irritating, that the price and pack count feel steep, and a few saying pores actually looked wider.
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 that mostly includes the 'low irritation' sense (if anything we undercounted rather than inflated — it's a minimum).
