We had several products to try, so we're only getting around to using these now. Personally, I love the scent! It has a watery texture like toner, and I'm satisfied with how it absorbs. When layered three times, there's a slight stickiness.
ConsIt's disappointing that you can't stand the product upright after use.

After using a volcanic ash pore mask, it really works wonders! The texture is water-like and it has a lovely scent!
ConsUnfortunately, since it comes in single-use containers, there are occasionally some defective ones. While some products dispense well, others are really troublesome... You have to tap them dozens of times to get the product out. Other than that, I'm not sure what else to say!
TipAs we all know, it's better for your skin to use ampoules a few times a week rather than daily. That's why I mainly use ampoules only when I'm doing a mask routine. My routine goes like this: cleanse - toner - pore mask (volcanic ash) - cleanse - green tea cleanse - toner - ampoule. The next day, my skin looks absolutely amazing! I have super sensitive skin that's easily affected by environmental factors, but when I follow this routine, my skin feels incredible the next day!

It was adequately hydrating, making it great for winter use. To be honest, while it was a solid product, there wasn't anything particularly outstanding about it for me. It was truly just a reliable, no-frills option. I chose it because the ingredients seemed better than Hydra Shot. Currently, I'm using a Hydra Shot sample, but I prefer the scent of this product.
ConsSticky...? As someone with extremely dehydrated skin, I often layer multiple products, and this was one of them. But well... it's definitely sticky. Also, occasionally the product wouldn't dispense properly. I had to wait while holding the bottle...
TipIf the serum doesn't come out, cover the opening and shake it vigorously! It should dispense more easily after that.

I'm using it a bit differently from the product instructions - I only do one layer every day after cleansing and before my skincare routine. Even with this minimal use, I saw some results after finishing three bottles. While the changes weren't dramatic, my pores looked more refined, which improved my overall skin texture. I've never experienced noticeable improvements when switching cosmetics before, so I decided to repurchase this product.
ConsIf I'm only going to do one layer daily, I wonder what's the point of that ampoule bottle...

While you won't see your pores visibly shrinking, the hydration is noticeably different. The moisture boost hits you before you even notice the pore-tightening effects. The amount is surprisingly generous, so it'll last a while. Being able to layer it three times gives you that extra pampered feeling. It feels great as it absorbs into the skin. It doesn't just sit on top, and even with three layers, it's not sticky. You can really feel it sinking in - it's like your skin is truly drinking it up! The scent is lovely too. It's not an overpowering artificial fragrance, so even after three layers, the texture and scent keep it feeling light and fresh.
ConsWhen opening it for the first time, they tell you to turn the bottle upside down to get the air out. I boldly flipped it 180 degrees and... oops, it gushed out! What a waste. I managed to use it all on my face, but be careful when first opening it. Check how it comes out drop by drop. It's tricky to control just 2-3 drops, so be mindful of that too. When you're getting to the end, you'll need real patience waiting for those last drops to fall. Personally, across all three bottles, I noticed more of an effect on hydration than on pores. But I actually liked that. Pores don't shrink overnight with any product, but it was nice to feel some kind of change in my skin.
TipThe instructions say to tilt it directly onto your face, but that makes it hard to see and control those 2-3 drops. I focused on dropping it on areas where pores bothered me most, then used what was left on my hands to cover the whole face. Mainly on the nose, cheeks, and forehead between the brows.

I bought both the Pore Minor Shot and Excel Toning Shot, and I'm currently using the Pore Minor Shot. I'm a bit nervous about the difference in ratings between this and the Excel Toning Shot... As someone with super sensitive skin, not only is there no irritation, but it also calms my small blemishes. This is truly the only product where I've seen real results from a mask or ampoule. The scent is also subtle and pleasant. Plus, all the ingredients are EWG grade 1, which is reassuring. The amount is generous too. This is honestly my holy grail! Everyone, you absolutely must buy this!!!
ConsWhen you first open it, you have to wait for the ampoule to drip down. And when you want to use it all up, the container's design leaves a bit of product inside, which is a shame.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. Better late than never, here's my Hwahae Tester review. First off, I chose this ampoule because I have a lot of concerns about pores. I was pleased that the volume wasn't small (I was impressed when I received it, as it seemed larger than I initially thought). The texture is slightly watery, giving it a fresh feel when applied. It has a subtle aromatherapy oil scent. The absorption is excellent - it sinks in quickly after application. After patting it in a few times, it's fully absorbed. Plus, it's great for travel. The bottle isn't made of glass, so I thought it would be convenient to carry around on trips.
ConsIt was really difficult to control the amount I wanted to use. Although it's labeled for pore management, it didn't solve my concerns. I didn't notice any pore tightening. At one point when I applied the ampoule, I felt a sudden heat rise, followed by a stinging sensation and redness on my skin, which startled me. I stopped using it when I developed acne-like bumps on my forehead and around my nose. I debated whether to use it again after the reaction subsided, but when I did, it was fine. I realized the initial reaction might have coincided with my cycle.
TipI started using it in the evenings from the day after I received it. When you apply the ampoule, despite its fresh texture, it feels like it forms a layer on the skin. So I stuck to a simple 4-step routine: 7-skin method, emulsion, ampoule, and cream. On days when I used a mask, I skipped the ampoule.

I received a set with 3 full-size products to try out. The bottles aren't too large - you could probably use one up in about 2-3 weeks, or a month at most. When you tilt the bottle, the product comes out drop by drop, but the drops are quite generous in size. I applied one drop each to my forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, layering it 3 times. First off, it absorbs beautifully! I thought it might feel heavy, but it's not at all - it spreads smoothly and easily. The scent is lovely too! When I first applied it, the fragrance seemed strong, but it quickly mellowed out. I guess I got used to it pretty quickly! But the absorption is really where this product shines. It spreads easily, and after patting it in a few times, it just sinks right into the skin! There's no residue or slippery feeling - it absorbs completely. I have dry skin, so I usually moisturize right after cleansing. Normally, I wipe my face with a pad and then apply an ampoule. But with this product, I wiped my face, layered this 3 times, and then went straight to my moisturizer. I didn't use any other ampoules while testing this. After using the pad and layering this 3 times, my skin felt hydrated without any tightness! If you have very dry skin, you might still feel a bit of tightness, but for me, this product alone left my skin feeling quite hydrated and plump. I was really satisfied with how it applied, absorbed, and hydrated my skin! Of all the products I've tried through the Hwahae Testers program, this one had the best hydration - I was really pleased! Oh, and it was great for improving skin texture too! I applied it the evening I received it, and the next morning my skin felt so much smoother! It's quite effective for improving skin texture.
ConsOne downside is that the product doesn't always come out easily - sometimes you have to shake it a bit. But then it can suddenly come out in a big glob. You have to be careful and shake it gently. I didn't see much effect on blemishes or pores. It didn't cause any breakouts or skin reactions, but it didn't really help with existing blemishes either. As for pores, I didn't notice any improvement at all. It's only been about 2 weeks, so maybe it's too soon to see results, but if you're hoping for major improvements in these areas, you might want to lower your expectations. I'm satisfied just using it for the hydration benefits! Also, if your skin is feeling sensitive, you might experience a slight tingling sensation when you apply this. I noticed this when my skin was more sensitive during my period. Lastly, if you rub it in too vigorously, it can start to pill. Apply it gently, spreading it out and then lightly patting it in for the best absorption. Don't use too much pressure when applying!

The quantity is surprisingly generous, and the packaging seems perfect for travel.
ConsSince it's a runny product, you need to quickly absorb it after spraying. Applying just one layer feels a bit insufficient. You need to layer it at least three times to feel like your skin has a protective barrier.

Non-irritating I have sensitive skin and had some minor wounds, but even when I accidentally applied it to those areas, there was no noticeable irritation. 2. Fragrance The scent is fresh and subtle, which I really like. 3. No pilling It works well when used with other products or during makeup application without any issues.
ConsI'm not sure about the actual pore-minimizing effect, but my skin feels incredibly refreshed and has become slightly more translucent.
TipAs described, applying it once and then reapplying keeps the skin hydrated for a long time. I'm grateful to be selected as one of The Hwahae Testers, but I guess my pores were too large to expect significant results.
