ConsWhile it's generally good, I sometimes get startled by a tingling sensation when applying it

There's no oiliness, so it doesn't leave a greasy feeling, and it seems to absorb quickly. I'll need to use it a bit longer, but I think my skin texture has already improved somewhat.
ConsThe price is quite high... Even when you catch it on sale, it's still expensive!

While not all natural ingredients are good, I appreciated that it doesn't contain any harmful components. The texture is like a white hydrating moisturizer or sunscreen. It doesn't run when squeezed out and maintains its form. It applies smoothly, and while the finish isn't exactly matte, it absorbs completely without leaving a greasy feeling - it's as if you're not wearing anything. However, I didn't feel any dryness. It seems like a versatile product. I applied it in thin layers after 3-4 layers of toner, followed by a soothing gel, Ducray serum, and then this cream. This product seems suitable for those with oily to combination skin. It would be great to use during the humid spring and summer months. The scent is somewhat cosmetic, so those sensitive to fragrances should definitely test it before purchasing. (I personally wasn't a fan of the scent.)
ConsThe price per volume is a bit high, which might be burdensome for students. Also, while I didn't notice it much (I'm not very sensitive), my sister often mentioned a tingling sensation. If you have sensitive skin, make sure to test it thoroughly before buying. I used it for 9 days from the evening of March 24th to April 2nd, and my skin texture seems to have become smoother. I think this is due to its pore-refining properties. Other than that, I'm not sure if my pores appear smaller or if there's been a reduction in sebum production. I might need to use it longer to see those effects.
TipWhen applied after a soothing gel, it tends to pill due to the film-like texture of the gel. It's better to apply it right after toner as instructed.

Contrary to my expectation of a thin consistency, it was actually quite rich, with excellent absorption. It wasn't sticky or greasy, and I loved the matte finish. It seemed to absorb quickly too. I've been using it for just over a week, and as usual, it's hard to see significant results in such a short time. I haven't noticed any major changes, but importantly, I didn't develop any new blemishes either. Given that it claims to offer benefits I need, I think it would be good to use consistently.
ConsThey mentioned AHA ingredients, right? I was surprised by the tingling sensation when I applied the product. My face felt so hot that I wanted to wash it off. It took a few days to get used to it, which was quite challenging. Fortunately, I didn't experience any additional blemishes. The only other downside is that it's a bit pricey. Other than that, I don't have any particular complaints.
TipIt seems important to control the amount you use. Also, I avoided applying it around my eyes. A little goes a long way, so using too much can lead to that burning sensation. If you decide to purchase this, I strongly recommend doing a patch test first. I've rarely felt any irritation from skincare products before, so this was unusual for me.

I absolutely loved it! The scent is amazing too - it's like a clean soap fragrance, which I adore. It provides just the right amount of hydration without feeling greasy, so my face didn't feel tight at all. After application, my skin feels plump and firm. I'm thrilled that it helped reduce blemishes and seemed to take care of dead skin cells too! The pump packaging makes it convenient to use. While it's marketed as a pore-care serum, I didn't particularly notice that effect, but it definitely improved my skin texture. I usually use Badecasil, which can sting when applied, but this barely stung at all. I'm definitely considering repurchasing! Oh, and some people mentioned issues with pilling, but I didn't experience that at all. In fact, I've never had pilling problems with any products (maybe I just have non-pilling skin?). I tend to apply a generous amount, but after toning and applying this, my makeup goes on smoothly. However, I don't apply makeup immediately after the serum - I wait about 10-15 minutes. I think pilling might occur if you don't give it enough time to absorb before applying makeup. Anyway, I really like it!
ConsThe amount you get for the price is a bit small, and it feels like it might run out quickly. I'm trying to use it sparingly, but the texture is quite rich, so it's hard to cover your whole face with just one pump. I usually end up using two or three pumps. The main downside is the price... it's pretty steep. I wish there was more product for the price.
TipAfter cleansing your face with toner, pump it twice and apply it to areas where you're concerned about blemishes, troubled skin, or dead skin cells. I recommend using it before bed rather than before makeup. You can use it before makeup too, but since there's not much product, you might want to save it for nighttime use.

On dry days, I layered it thinly twice and then applied cream on top. Being formulated for oily skin, I loved that it wasn't rich at all. I have super sensitive skin, so I was worried about blemishes at first, but it suited me well!
ConsOn the first day, I pumped it twice to apply, but it caused pilling. From the next day, I adjusted the amount and made sure it absorbed fully, which was better. Also, the scent was too artificial, which I didn't like.
TipIf you pump once and pat it on thinly, you can use it without any pilling issues.

Though it's a serum, the texture is delightfully rich like a cream. However, it applies smoothly without any stickiness and absorbs well into the skin! As someone with oily skin, I usually avoid overly greasy skincare products, but contrary to my concerns, this one leaves my skin feeling fresh after application. In my case, I didn't experience any blemishes! I'll need to use it a bit longer to see if it truly brightens my complexion~
ConsWhen I first applied it, there was a slight burning sensation. I don't have super sensitive skin, so it was fine afterward, but those with sensitive skin should carefully check the ingredients and be cautious. Also, being a serum, the price (38,000) seems a bit high for the amount you get. If the effects match the price, I'd be willing to purchase it again, but while I think this product is decent, I can't say it's particularly great value for money, unfortunately.

Scent: I love the subtle herbal fragrance - it's right up my alley. Feel: I'm really satisfied with how quickly it absorbs without any stickiness or greasiness. Effects: After using it morning and night for about a week, the most noticeable improvement was a significant reduction in the redness on my cheeks that used to stand out.
ConsThere's a stinging and burning sensation for a while after application. There's also some slight itching, but for me it didn't last long. Fortunately, I didn't experience any small pimples like some others reported. I personally interpreted this tingling as a sign that it's working on my skin, but I have to admit it was a bit bothersome. A week of use isn't quite enough to claim dramatic improvements in pore size or skin texture. However, as mentioned earlier, there was a definite improvement in the redness left behind by blemishes.
TipThere's not much of a tip to share, except that one pump is plenty for each application.

First off, I didn't experience any tingling or irritation when applying it. The feeling on my skin after application is incredibly soft and smooth - it's like having baby-soft skin! It's wonderfully hydrating without feeling greasy or oily. It's truly moisturizing, but not quite like a gel cream. Right after application, it feels like a nourishing moisturizer. The scent is pleasant and mild. The texture is smooth and easy to apply. Lately, I've been focusing on applying it just to my nose area. I used to worry about pores and oiliness around my nose, but now my pores seem slightly smaller and the oiliness has decreased compared to before!
ConsThose with dry skin should be cautious when using this. Personally, I have an oily T-zone but forgot about my dry U-zone and applied it all over. This resulted in small blemishes appearing in the drier areas. Now I only apply it around my nose within the T-zone. For those with oily skin in summer, or even those with dry skin, it might be good to focus application around the nose area.
TipFor oily skin types, apply all over. For dry or combination skin, focus application on areas that tend to get oily.

After applying, you can definitely feel your skin texture becoming smoother and more refined. If you have oily skin and are looking for a skincare product that controls sebum and tightens pores, this might be worth considering! As someone with dry skin, I usually go for serums and essences that provide hydration and nourishment, so this felt a bit lacking in that department. However, I noticed it really helped with pores and dead skin cells! The flaky skin around my nose after makeup disappeared... amazing! I used it morning and night for 4 days. Also, the fragrance is lovely... a subtle floral scent. It's very similar to Avène's Cleanance Expert, if you're familiar with that. Ingredient-wise, it's great - no concerning ingredients except for fragrance. I saw some reviews mentioning a stinging sensation, but I didn't experience that at all... I guess I have steel skin, haha!
ConsFor my dry skin, it was a bit lacking, but that's not really a fault of the product! After all, it's designed for combination to oily skin types and marketed as a pore serum, so it definitely delivers on its promises. It's hard to even call this a downside, to be honest. If I had to nitpick... maybe the price compared to the amount you get? I probably won't repurchase it because it's a bit pricey, and as someone with dry skin, it's not an absolute must-have or essential product for me. Still, it's the kind of product that would be handy to have around!
TipFor those of you with dry skin who are concerned about pores and dead skin cells, try using about half a pump just on your T-zone and areas with larger pores. That's how I'm using it now! I keep using it because I noticed my nose doesn't get flaky after makeup anymore. I think it might also work well as a morning skincare step in summer to control excess oil.
