Pros
The pore-cleansing gel really seems to have reduced my pores a bit. At least, I'm not getting any more acne.
Cons
In the winter, using just this makes my skin too dry. It's not possible to use it alone.

Pros
Applying the three-step toner, essence, and cream routine gives a less tight feeling. It seems to provide some sebum control.
Cons
After using it consistently for about a year, I finally checked the ingredients and was surprised to see quite a few concerning ones. I don't feel like it's helping to calm any existing blemishes.

Pros
This is a miracle for eliminating blackheads!!! It absorbs excess sebum and leaves the skin smooth without the hassle of using a nose pack separately. The lightweight formula makes it easy to just swipe it on, so it's very convenient.
Cons
No matter how much it claims to control sebum, using this alone will still leave you with whiteheads ㅜㅜ Especially on the days you've exfoliated, I'd recommend not using this. It didn't cause any irritation, but in terms of pore improvement, the effect wasn't that great.. I guess that's because I'm a super ultra pore queen, fact.
Tip
If you oily-skinned folks are tempted by its sebum-controlling claims, don't just use this alone - make sure to also apply a light moisturizer on top!

Pros
I've been using it for the second time! I highly recommend it to those who suffer from dehydrated oily skin or acne concerns!! I used to hear people say my skin looked great, but at some point my skin became dehydrated and I started getting more acne, with my makeup not applying well and my pores getting larger, so I purchased this product. When you apply it to the areas with pores or excess sebum, it absorbs well and helps maintain a good oil-moisture balance. The more you use it, the better it performs. I've updated. I've finished using the third bottle :)
Cons
True to the Vichy brand, it's a bit more expensive than the average Korean drugstore product? But these days they have sales quite often...
Tip
If you're dealing with acne concerns, try using this product together with the Vichy Mineral 89 Night Spa!

Pros
As a combination skin type, the weather getting warmer caused my skin to become oily on the surface but dry inside, so I decided to purchase this product. The fragrance is refreshing, and it feels cool when applied. Being a gel type, it leaves my skin feeling moisturized after application. It seems to control oil well, and the occasional blemishes I used to get don't seem to appear as much these days. I think I'll be able to use this product well throughout the summer.
Cons
For some reason, only the area around my chin tends to become dry when I use this product. I have to apply a separate moisturizer or oil just on that area. It starts off feeling moisturized, but the dryness returns quickly. Also, I have to pat it in for quite a while to get it to absorb properly.

Pros
Although my skin is dry, this product deeply hydrates my skin and doesn't make it look shiny. That's why I'm on my second bottle. It's great that it also regulates my sebum production.
Cons
I was really shocked when I checked the ingredients. I repurchased it this time, but if the information had been available on Hwahae Trial Reviewer earlier, I wouldn't have bought it. I'll finish the one bottle I have, but I won't be repurchasing it.

Pros
This aqua gel seems to be really great to use in the summer! It's refreshing and not sticky, so it's also good to use before makeup.@! Since it seems to control oil well, the shiny look is greatly reduced, so touch-ups are unnecessary... amazing!
Cons
For extremely dry skin, you may need to add another moisturizing product.

Pros
I'm using the same Biore line for my cleanser, toner, and essence. For my oily skin, the toner alone left my skin feeling moisturized without any tightness after use. There's no irritation either. These types of sebum-controlling skincare products usually leave a powdery feeling or make my skin feel tight, but this one is so moisturizing and the texture is amazing! It doesn't cause any breakouts and helps control my oil, so I'm really satisfied with it ♥ I've been using it since spring and I think it'll last me through fall. I'm almost done with my current bottle and I'll definitely repurchase once it's finished. + 06/30/17 No issues with the second bottle. + 10/04/17 The fourth bottle isn't enough on its own as the cold winds start to pick up. + 01/04/18 Finished the fifth bottle. My winter skincare routine is: Toner > Essence > Moisturizer > Oil, with the essence being this product 😋💕
Cons
I'm so satisfied with this product, but I was shocked when I checked the ingredients. I bought it without looking at the Hwahae reviews first, and if I had, I probably wouldn't have purchased it. + When I rub my hands together after using it, a white powder-like substance comes off. It seems to be from the occlusive ingredients, but since it doesn't leave my skin extremely dry, it's not a major concern for me.
