The 'extraction cotton swabs' I bought at Olive Young are a real gem.

I used to squeeze pimples at home with my dirty fingernails every time I got one, which left me with dark scars. To avoid scarring, I bought these at Olive Young—one end is an extractor ring and the other is a cotton swab—and it's a total game changer! When the pimple is ripe, I lightly wipe it with rubbing alcohol, then gently press down with the ring, and the sebum pops right out! It doesn't hurt as much as squeezing with my fingers, and it doesn't damage the surrounding skin tissue, so I love it. If you get breakouts frequently, never squeeze with your hands; make sure to buy these 1,000-won extraction cotton swabs and use them!
