This product gives a pore-filling sensation, so it's great to apply before makeup!

There's not really anything to complain about, though the effects aren't dramatically instant.

It seems to create a tightening effect on the pores, and you can feel a refreshing cooling sensation. It's like applying aloe gel, which is great for adding hydration before makeup. I feel like it smoothly fills in the pores! I'm concerned about the pores around my nose, so I hope they'll shrink. I'm looking forward to using this diligently! Remember, smaller pores make your makeup look smoother and more beautiful!

모공 숨바꼭질 포어 타이트닝 에센스

Right after application, there's a slight stickiness, so I'd recommend those with bangs to pin their hair back. Be patient for 4-5 minutes and it'll become powdery soft. Also, I'd suggest using this more in summer than winter!

It might be a bit drying for winter use. Also, if you have bangs, you'll need to pin them back for 4-5 minutes after application, which can be a bit of a hassle.

When I first touch it on the back of my hand, it feels a bit sticky which makes me nervous, but once applied it spreads beautifully. After just 4-5 minutes, my skin feels incredibly soft and smooth. Even without using any additional emulsion, my skin looks noticeably better with just this product alone. Honestly, I think this might be my holy grail product!

This seems like a good, safe option for those with combination skin to use during the summer months.

While it's a pore essence with great hydration, it feels like applying a thin, refreshing aloe gel, which makes me question if it truly qualifies as an essence. Moreover, I'm not sure if it's actually effective for pores.

Despite having sensitive skin, it wasn't irritating. As someone with combination skin, I appreciated how well-balanced it felt for my skin type. It's fragrance-free with a slight cooling effect and absorbs quickly, leaving a fresh feeling.

The ingredients are high-quality, so I trust it and use it consistently.

The texture is a bit too watery for my liking, which is disappointing. I haven't noticed any dramatic effects, but then again, most skincare products don't produce miracles. All things considered, I'm satisfied with it.

I apply it only to areas with visible pores, and it gives a nice firming sensation. It feels slightly cooling and doesn't cause any irritation, which I really appreciate.

I didn't experience any blemishes, and it seems suitable for most skin types. However, despite being an essence, it doesn't feel as moisturizing as I'd hoped. Additionally, I didn't notice much of a pore-tightening effect.

Its biggest advantage is that it doesn't have any major pros or cons. It absorbs well and has a nice, firm texture, though it might not provide enough hydration for dry skin types. The scent is pleasantly clean and close to fragrance-free. The quantity runs out quickly with daily use.

However, it's extremely watery - I thought it was a toner at first. While it's good for summer, I wouldn't recommend it for winter. There's absolutely no nourishment in this.

Perfect for summer skin! It's not heavy at all and feels so refreshing...

I'm not sure about the product's main claim of reducing pores, which is supposed to be its key function.

In summer, my skin usually becomes an oil slick just an hour after cleansing, making it difficult to apply anything. But this product is great because it's almost oil-free and feels refreshingly cool on the skin.

I've been using the entire pore line, from the cleansing bar to this product, but my pores haven't reduced (seems to vary by person). Rather than absorbing immediately, it feels like it sits on the surface. Also, it has a sticky feeling until it dries, similar to aloe cream

I keep it in the fridge as recommended, and it feels wonderfully cool when applied

I wouldn't recommend this for those with dry skin, unfortunately.

I have dry skin but bought this for my pore issues. However, it's way too drying. No matter how much I apply, once it absorbs, my skin feels extremely tight.

I use this with both toner and essence, and I love the cooling effect. The essence texture feels a bit like... runny nose? Haha!

I'm not really sure about its effectiveness. However, since it's apparently not good for sensitive and dry skin, I'll have to reconsider using it next time.

I used this in winter, but I think it would be great for summer too. I keep it in the fridge, so it feels refreshing when applied. I don't really notice it evaporating quickly, and I rarely feel dry or tight when I wake up in the morning. It seems like a good option for lightweight hydration.

Store it in the fridge for an extra cooling sensation! Since the volume lasts so long, don't be shy about applying it generously.

The product volume doesn't seem to decrease much. This could be seen as a plus, but I usually go through 2-3 toners while using just one essence. I've almost finished my toner, but I've only used about a quarter of this essence.

This product is perfect for those with oily skin. It has a refreshing cooling effect and seems to tighten pores as well. Keeping it in the fridge makes it extra soothing. It's free from harmful ingredients too! The formula absorbs quickly and leaves your face feeling firm and bouncy.

There's nothing bad to say! Though I wish the packaging was a bit prettier.

This skincare is the best for summer! My skin absolutely loves its bouncy, plump texture.
