The pore tightening toner is replaced with the pore tightening gel cream. While applying, it felt slightly sticky, but the stickiness disappeared after fully applying it. However, those who dislike even a brief moment of stickiness should take note. It is a non-runny gel-type with a slightly opaque color. It has a texture that is slightly tacky and adheres well. Although it is not unscented, the scent is similar to mint candy and quickly disappears. The fragrance is very mild, which is good. There is no irritation, heat buildup, or redness. The pore tightening effect will be known after using it, but it is unknown at the moment. The sebum secretion did not increase much even after 30 minutes, but a decent amount came out after waking up. As expected, the ingredients are good in the Papa Recipe product. + 2017.02.06 After exfoliating, I used it for the first time in a while, and I applied the moisturizing oil 2-3 times more than usual and the gel cream thickly, but the oiliness did not break out. Rather, as time passed, my cheeks seemed to have become a bit dry again, and when I wiped the back of my hand, it felt dry, and the oil on my forehead was less. It may be because it's winter, not summer. There was no internal dryness. + 02.07 Before makeup, I wiped with a toner and applied only half the amount of yesterday, but it didn't get too oily. However, it's not that there is no dead skin, just less. The moisturizing power is medium, as it is not oily.
ConsSince it was a 50ml gift, I didn't particularly care about the price. The carbomer ingredient seems a bit high in the ingredient list, and the cetearyl alcohol is also not great. The shea butter also doesn't seem quite right, but since it's in small amounts, it should be fine with caution. There was a spatula included in the set, but it seems too flat. The flat shape makes it difficult to pick up and uncomfortable to apply on the skin. + 08.14 Breakouts appeared on my forehead (3), cheeks (2), and around the nose (3-4). They are painful when pressed, but not large cystic ones, just small, red, and raised blemishes. + 08.19 Concluded that it's not the toner's fault. Seems like it might be due to the high carbomer content or the shea butter ingredient. Started using it again today, and feel like breakouts are starting to come up again. Can feel some bumps, so I'll try a blemish care pack first and then apply this tomorrow. + 08.20 Seems like this is really causing the bumps to come up. Breakouts on the cheeks and around the nose... Applied it after the pack, but still feel uneasy about it. + 08.22 Bumpy breakouts have come up on both cheeks, to the point of being able to extract them. Looks like the chin area will be next. + 2017.02.07 In the morning, there was a slight bump on the forehead. There was also a reddened spot on the cheek, but it could be a coincidence. + 04.04 Lately, it doesn't seem to be causing breakouts, but there seems to be another cause. It might be from switching Japanese products or the dirty bedding in the dorm.
TipIt seems the Japanese library has the heater cranked up too high, and the air is stuffy and stifling. The AC lotion and gel cream both lack oil, so the internal dryness hasn't improved at all, leading to flaking skin, itchiness, tightness, and heat. - 04.10 The conclusion is that my skin is struggling, and even layering this product didn't help. But when I changed the cleanser and used it, it got better, to the point that my sebum production became too active, so I'll use only a small amount from now on. - Please just go away, photo.. Could you at least have a temporary save or similar storage function..
