My skin feels softer after applying it.
ConsI'm not sure if it's just me, but my skin tingles all over when I apply it. However, I haven't experienced any major side effects like blemishes, so I continue to use it.

The absorbs well and feels lightweight on the skin. 2. You can definitely feel your skin texture improving! 3. The scent is quite pleasant too! My boyfriend recommended this to me, and I've been using it. He says his blemishes have reduced since he started using it!
Cons1. You absolutely can't apply makeup over this. It's only suitable for nighttime use. 2. It caused a tingling sensation when I first used it! 3. The amount is quite small....
TipIf you have acne-prone skin, you must try this!

The sample was an emulsion type, I believe, but the Olive Young staff recommended this pore serum for oily skin instead of the emulsion, so that's what I ended up buying. At first, I applied it all over my face, but it stung so much that I immediately stopped using it. Not wanting to waste it, I looked online and found that it's effective for improving pores. So, I started applying it to my nose and surrounding cheek areas where my pores are larger and produce more oil. I started using it just because I didn't want to waste it, but after a month or two, I began to see results! I have oily, acne-prone skin with large pores, and I noticed my pores shrinking and blackheads reducing! However, when I tried it on some closed comedones on my chin, it didn't seem to have much effect. I've tried Bioderma's pore serum before without seeing much improvement, so I didn't have high expectations. But wow, the effects of this one are amazing! You must try it! My pores have visibly shrunk and reduced in number! After applying, it forms a thin film that stays put even when I apply emulsion over it. Personally, I feel like this film helps cleanse and protect the pores. Of course, it disappears over time. With consistent use, it feels like it's pushing blackheads and sebum from the inside out. So after a few days of use, you can extract those sebum plugs (it's like it prevents sebum from building up inside), and if you follow up with good hydration, you can prevent and eliminate blackheads! Plus, it has great absorption! It's not like an emulsion or cream texture, more of a semi-velvety feel? Every time I use it, I think it feels a bit like melted whipped cream, haha!
Cons1. The amount is small compared to the price... (Though since you only need to apply a small amount, I'm not sure if the price can be considered a real drawback) 2. It stings. (This may vary from person to person, but when I applied it all over my face, it stung too much) 3. I only learned about its brightening effects from other people's reviews. (I personally didn't notice much brightening effect) 4. People say it improves skin texture, but since I only apply it to specific areas, I'm not sure about this effect
Tip1. Make sure to apply it during the toner step (applying after the emulsion step doesn't seem to be as effective... Plus, the product instructions say to apply it during the toner step!) 2. Only apply a small amount! 3. If you're hesitant to apply it all over your face, it's okay to just apply it to problem areas like I do

ConsThe quantity is only 30ml... And it stings a bit. If you're like me, at an age where your skin is super sensitive and prone to blemishes, be careful!

It has this fresh feeling that makes applying it a real pleasure. While I'm not sure about pore tightening yet, I definitely notice a reduction in dead skin cells.
ConsOccasionally, it stings a bit after application. This makes me a bit uneasy, wondering if it might be irritating my skin. However, the sensation usually subsides after a short while.

ConsRight after applying, it started to feel itchy, then slightly stinging. Soon after, red spots appeared on my cheeks, so I immediately washed it off with water. I'm not sure why, but I had to throw it away after just one use.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsTo be honest, I'm not sure if my skin is actually improving. I've heard that it can cause a tingling sensation on acne-prone areas, but why do I feel this tingling even without acne?
ConsIt's way too irritating! At first, there was just a slight tingling, but why does my entire face feel itchy the more I use it? Some people say it's part of the skin improvement process, so I'm still applying it, but I'm not sure what to do.

I hope it continues to get better with regular use!
ConsIt stings at first, though it does calm down after about 10 minutes... I'm not sure what's causing the tingling sensation. It seems to have some effect, but it's not a miracle cure. The Olive Young staff recommended it for my folliculitis, so I'm giving it a try. I really want to get rid of this folliculitis... it's so unsightly. I wonder if anyone else experiences this stinging sensation like I do? It's quite frustrating.

ConsWhen applied to areas with severe blemishes or on days when my skin isn't at its best, it stings quite a bit... It doesn't cause redness or itching, just a strong tingling sensation.
