I was curious about its pore and sebum care claims, so I gave it a try. The texture feels refreshing, and the scent is natural and pleasant. It has a retinol-like color with medium consistency, gliding on smoothly. After application, you can feel the hydration deep within your skin. It strikes a great balance between oil and moisture, making it a gentle serum that's perfect for light makeup. It works hard without being overwhelming!
ConsAt first, I was surprised by the serum's color - I thought 'What's this?' But knowing it's made from natural ingredients puts my mind at ease while using it.
TipDuring the dry winter months, I apply this first, then layer a thicker serum on top for extra hydration.

There's a subtle scent - a fresh, powdery fragrance that I quite enjoyed. It's not overpowering at all, so it didn't bother me. I'm nearly finished with the product now, and I have to say, before using this I was really stressed about my pores and excess oil. But it seems to be working wonders for sebum control - my pores appear smaller and the tiny blemishes I used to have have significantly reduced! At first, I didn't see much effect and just used it with a 'let's see what happens' attitude. But with consistent application, I started noticing results! I read reviews saying it takes about a month to see effects, and I was skeptical at first. But it's true - you need to apply it diligently for the sebum-controlling ingredients to penetrate deeply and show results.
ConsI have combination skin with some oiliness. In my evening routine, I use this after toner and before serum, but it seems to increase the oily feeling when I layer other products on top. It's a bit better if I really take the time to let it absorb well.
TipConsistency is key! I didn't apply it in the morning due to my makeup routine, but I made sure to use it every evening without fail. Also, I used a separate sebum control product, and I feel like using both together enhanced the effects even more! It's as if the sebum control product works deep down, and this one dissolves what's left on the surface.

It has a bit of viscosity but applies smoothly, leaving a fresh feeling after application. Hydration: After applying, you can feel a lot of moisture. Not only hydration but also a rich feeling is noticeable. However, it doesn't leave a greasy shine after absorption. There's no stickiness, and it has a light finish, leaving a fresh, silky smoothness on the skin texture. It seems to have a good balance of oil and moisture, which is great for pore tightening. It's suitable for both morning and evening use for normal skin types, while those with oily skin might prefer using it lightly in the morning only. Ingredients: It contains Botanity's exclusive Makiol Complex and SOMB Complex, which are said to prevent moisture evaporation and control oil, balancing the skin's oil and moisture levels. It has passed suitability tests for acne-prone skin and completed skin irritation tests. This serum seems to target oily skin types, so I'd recommend it to those concerned about shiny sebum or looking for pore management. I didn't experience any blemishes or redness while using it. It has a gentle feel on the skin.
ConsThe texture could be a bit thinner. Compared to its finish, the formula feels slightly heavy when applying.

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.ProsAs a member of The Hwahae Testers, here's my review: Scent: While some people don't like the fragrance, I found the rose-like scent incredibly pleasant. Application: It applies moisturizing at first, then gives a slight pore-tightening sensation, which I enjoyed. For reference, I have dry skin, and after applying and letting it absorb, followed by ample hydration, it's perfect for summer. Effectiveness: Recently, due to wearing masks, I've had many blemishes on my chin and cheeks. After using this product and applying plenty of moisturizer, my skin felt lighter and more breathable, not stuffy at all. As a result, blemishes stopped appearing and are calming down. If you're looking for a soothing summer skincare product with a light routine, I highly recommend this.
ConsAs I mentioned earlier, I have dry skin, so my only concern is whether I'll be able to use this product in autumn and winter. For someone like me who prefers light skincare, I think it's ideal for summer skincare.
TipHere's a soothing skincare tip for you: I have dry, sensitive skin. After using a low pH foam cleanser, I don't use a towel. Instead, I shake off excess water and pat it into my skin. Then I apply this product once, let it absorb completely, and apply it again. (Since it's layered, you don't need to apply a large amount at once.) Next, I apply a hydrating ampoule twice, also in layers, allowing it to absorb fully. Finally, I finish with a balancing cream for oil and moisture. This skincare routine takes quite a while, but the improvement in your skin is really noticeable. I highly recommend taking the time to try it. Even after just one day, you'll experience slightly improved skin. When I'm exhausted from work, I used to quickly wipe my face with a towel after cleansing and go to sleep without properly absorbing my skincare products. My skin would react badly to even the slightest irritation. Just as effort and time yield good results in all areas, if you want to improve your skin, don't just think about it - start with something small and put it into practice. Changing your cleansing method or how you apply skincare isn't difficult, but these small changes can greatly influence your future skin. Let's start small, one step at a time. I'm too busy to attach photos right now, but I'm planning to document how much I can improve my troubled skin with home care. I'm confident I can improve my skin and know how to do it. If you'd like to see the process of my skin improving, leave a comment. I'll share my changing skin along with my methods. Being selected as a Hwahae Tester and happily using this product has reminded me of skincare methods I knew but wasn't practicing. I haven't used this product extensively yet, so I'll leave a second review with photos after using it more. I hope everyone achieves glowing skin! This concludes my review for now. If you have oily skin with excess sebum, this is perfect for summer skincare. Even for my dry skin, it works well for summer, so don't hesitate to purchase it. I'll be back with an even better review! This is truly the end now.

Skin texture - We only applied the Bancore toner + Makiol Sebum Serum! It feels like his skin texture has been neatly refined. His skin looks cleaner? Even though we haven't used it consistently or for long, we're satisfied with these results! Hydration - His skin has a glow to it. It seems to balance the moisture levels well.
ConsScent - If you're not bothered by emulsion or toner smells, it might be okay, but it has a sharp scent mixed with a unique fragrance! The smell is quite strong, so I wouldn't recommend it to those who buy based on scent! Stickiness - It remains sticky for about a minute after application! After that, it feels kind of 'squeaky clean'? Not recommended for those who dislike stickiness!
TipI forgot to take a before picture. I'll post again when we finish the serum!

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.ProsDuring the two weeks of using this product, I actually experienced pore-tightening effects! After years of blemish-prone skin and slightly enlarged pores due to warmer weather, my skin felt as firm and taut as if I'd just stepped out of a dermatologist's office! Also, since I added this serum to my usual toner and cream routine, I noticed my complexion became about half a shade brighter, probably due to the improved hydration!
ConsThe most disappointing aspect was the fragrance... Looking at the ingredient list, I noticed there were no concerning ingredients except for two fragrance components that may cause allergic reactions. However, the scent was quite unpleasant... While I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, those who are might find it off-putting. I wonder if it would have been better to omit these potentially irritating ingredients and focus on the fragrance-free formula instead. Secondly, this product tends to pill like dead skin cells... Due to COVID, I usually only wear sunscreen without makeup under my mask, but even when I adjusted the amount, it still pilled (using my regular routine and products).
TipFor daytime use, I recommend applying a small amount only to areas where pores are a concern to minimize pilling. In your evening routine, you can apply a more generous layer for better results.

I decided to try the Makioll Sebum Serum because it claims to reduce sebum production. It does seem to have slightly decreased my oil production. I've been using it for about two weeks, but I think I'll see more definitive results after using it for a month or longer. The texture is great - it's not too sticky but has a nice, firm feel that makes it easy to apply. I also liked that it seemed to provide some hydration.
ConsIt's difficult to expect immediate, visible results. As the sebum production decreases, it seems the pores naturally appear smaller as well. I think you need to use it consistently to see these effects. While I do have large pores and oily skin, I also have some deep dryness, so I'm not excessively oily. Because of this, I didn't notice a significant reduction in oil when wearing makeup.
TipI think it works best when applied generously to the T-zone, nose, and cheeks, rather than on dry areas.

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.ProsThe Hwahae Testers' review after 2 weeks of use: First off, I have combination skin. I usually have 3-4 blemishes on my forehead, but since using this product, they've noticeably disappeared. Now, there's not a single blemish on my forehead. As for pores, while it's not quite 'egg-shell smooth', there's a visible improvement in pore refinement since using the product. Whether it's solely due to this product, I'm not sure, but I'm extremely satisfied. More details below: Texture: It's not watery, but rather feels somewhat concentrated without being thick. It's white in color. The scent isn't strong - imagine 80ml of fragrance-free product mixed with about 20ml of scent. It's not an artificial cosmetic fragrance, just a fresh, indescribable scent. It's reminiscent of forest phytoncides. Feel: The finish is incredible. It's truly amazing. Usually, when you apply various products before bed, your skin can become excessively shiny. But this absorbs without that greasy feeling. The surface feels slightly powdery, while the skin underneath feels firm. It's not the kind of powdery that dry skin types worry about, but more like a freshly steamed bun. The absorption and finish of this product are exceptional. I'm quite lazy and don't spend much time patting products in - maybe a minute at most before lying down. Previously, this would result in my hair sticking to my face when I turned on the fan, which was infuriating. But with this ampoule, it absorbs quickly and finishes so freshly that even when I switched to using only this, nothing sticks! It's truly remarkable. You might wonder if my previous ampoule was the problem, but it wasn't some unknown brand. It's simply a difference in product quality. How does it feel in the morning? It's like your skin has transformed into the most perfect mochi that no artisan could replicate. The absorption is so good that while the skin's surface doesn't look greasy, each cell beneath feels like it's holding moisture. What's more surprising is that usually when I wake up, my face is 100% pure oil, but now it's only about 40-50%.
ConsDownsides? Honestly, I can't think of any. I'm pondering this more seriously than I did for my college entrance exams, but I really can't find any. However, it's important to note that I didn't use this ampoule alone! I also used a soothing cream with a fresh texture. (My routine consisted of just these two.) But among all the ampoules I've used before, this is definitely my favorite. I will absolutely repurchase.
TipTip: While I honestly think this would work for all skin types, it's particularly great for those with oily skin due to its fresh finish and good absorption. For combination to very dry skin types, I recommend using it in conjunction with other skincare products. It's best to think of this product as the finishing touch in your routine!

I've seen amazing results for pore tightening! First off, it has a minty scent that gives a refreshing feeling, which I absolutely love. I use the Too Cool for School Fixing Cover Cushion, and because of my pores around the nose area, a primer is a must. When I'm rushing to work, I usually just pat on the cushion without primer. Before using this product, you could see each and every pore, but after using it, the visible pores have significantly reduced! It's absolutely incredible! I have sensitive combination skin, but I didn't experience any blemishes or irritation from using this. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with it! It absorbs well into the skin and seems to control oil nicely too.
ConsWhile I like it, those who are sensitive to fragrances might want to be cautious.

It absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling moisturized, and it sinks in quickly. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, it suited me well and felt gentle without causing any blemishes. I think it might work even better for oily skin types. My complexion has brightened a bit, and I feel like my pores have visibly reduced. Even when I only applied this serum without any other products, my skin didn't feel tight. The hydration lasts for a long time, making it perfect for summer use. Overall, I'd recommend this for oily and combination skin types. It seems to help with pore management. I plan to keep using it consistently!
ConsWhile there's nothing particularly disappointing about the serum itself, I found it a bit tricky to control the amount when first dropping it on my face with the dropper. It tended to run down. I got the hang of it after a few uses. It absorbs quickly, so you might go through it fast. It's more suitable for oily skin rather than dry skin types.
TipI apply it right after washing my face. Since it absorbs well, I apply it twice for extra hydration. One full press of the dropper is enough to cover the entire face.
