My face used to get very oily when I'm out for a long time, but after applying this a few times before going out, the oiliness has definitely decreased. And if I dab it on my eyelids before doing eye makeup, my eye makeup seems to last longer.
ConsPersonally, I find powder a bit inconvenient to use. I often end up spilling and wasting it, so I wish the container was deeper. Or if it could dispense just the right amount each time by opening and closing it, that would be more convenient.

When I apply it first thing in the morning, the matte finish lasts for a very long time. I'm definitely repurchasing this. Since I have an oily T-zone, my makeup tends to break down within 1-2 hours, and my forehead and nose area get very shiny. So I always have to carry a pore perfecting powder with me. This product has the most impressive mattifying effect among all the ones I've tried. It controls the shine really well and keeps my makeup looking fresh for over 4 hours. I've had to touch up my makeup a lot less since using this. Those of us with very oily skin are often sensitive to weather changes, and even a little bit of heat or humidity can make us look greasy within a few hours. So the long-lasting matte finish of this product is truly invaluable. I usually use a compact powder for T-zone oil control, but this loose powder formula seems to adhere better and control the excess oil more effectively. Since I have a very oily complexion, my makeup tends to break down easily, and I'm not able to wear a lot of color cosmetics. But this product has improved the longevity of my makeup, so I've been able to experiment with more color products. The compact size makes it convenient to carry around. The previous product I used was a compact, and it would often shatter, which was frustrating. But this one doesn't have that issue, which I really appreciate. The fragrance is very subtle and doesn't bother me at all.
ConsOn the day I received this, it was a very hot day. The one I had been using before was a compact type, and when I corrected it, I would gently press the whole face. But without any thought, I applied it all over my face like I did with the previous powder compact, and my skin became extremely dry and cracked, and it was even difficult to open my mouth. The first day was a failure like this. After finishing my skincare routine, I recommend gently applying it only to the areas that tend to get oily, like the T-zone. And when I use it to touch up my makeup outside, my face gets too dry, and the makeup starts to crack and peel, so I carry a regular powder compact with me to press the whole face when touching up outside. It's so matte that I only use it for my first makeup application in the morning. Using the container seems a bit unpleasant. When touching up in the restroom, I'm not sure where to put the lid; I used to use a refillable powder compact with a mirror, but seeing this container makes me a bit gloomy. Since I don't use it much for touch-ups, I've resigned myself to it, but I somehow don't want to take it out in public. Well, if the performance is truly luxurious and amazing, the packaging, color, and overall appearance don't appeal to me.
TipYou apply the Tzone oil control powder in the last step. Then, thinking about the next makeup step, gently press the eyelid area once. This helps the eyeliner or eyeshadow stay in place better. If you use too much, it can cause dryness, and the eyeshadow may crease or crack, making the eye area look dry and flaky like tree bark. You should only lightly press the eye area after using the Tzone powder, just a little bit.

The powder's ability to absorb oil was very effective, I think! I usually have a lot of oil on my face, so I use a lot of powder, and this product is doing a great job at its role. It was easy and quick to use, which I liked! I didn't find the fragrance particularly objectionable, and I actually liked the nice scent. (I enjoy the scent every time I use it!) I will likely purchase and use this again! The lasting power is similar to other powders, and overall it was a satisfactory product for me! My skin is not particularly sensitive, so it was fine. If you have sensitive skin, I'd recommend checking the ingredients carefully before using.
ConsThere wasn't really any disappointing aspect, except that the pump was a bit of a letdown, I suppose! But the rest of it seems great.
TipYou can easily and conveniently remove oil throughout the day, so I'd recommend using it in a thin, moderate amount. For those with dry skin, use it sparingly! Instead of shaking the container with the pump, dispense it onto the lid and then apply it to your face to avoid leaving marks.

Skin Expression: I've tried various powders like Innisfree and Skinfood, and this one gives the cleanest skin expression. I usually like the blurred effect of powders, but this one lacks that slightly, yet it finishes the skin so clean, transparent, and not too thick, just nicely mattifying the oiliness, which I really liked. Durability: As a combination skin type with oily T-zone, I found that it's good to reapply after about 4 hours. Scent: It's almost fragrance-free. Ingredients: The ingredients are not the best, but it worked well for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. Overall, the powder I received as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer was much better than expected, with no major downsides, so I will likely repurchase once I finish this. Recommended!
ConsPuff: The puff is a bit too thick compared to other powder puffs, so if you don't apply it gently, it can press the powder down too much, making the makeup look slightly patchy. I'd recommend using a powder brush, but the puff can work fine if you apply it lightly. Other than that, there don't seem to be any other significant downsides.
TipDipping an appropriate amount of powder from the case lid and applying it with a brush is definitely neater and prevents caking. Applying a light layer over the face makeup, especially around the eyes and brows (before eye makeup), can significantly improve the longevity and vibrancy of the makeup.

Since my face tends to get a bit shiny in the afternoon, the lasting power seems to be decent. It seems like a good, versatile option to use.
ConsHmm... I don't really have any particular complaints so far. The price is also very reasonable!

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.ProsI used to hate using powder because my skin was dry, but I think I understand now why finishing with powder is helpful. It makes the skin feel smooth and velvety, and also helps the base makeup last longer! I was always worried about my laugh lines and oily skin, but luckily I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and tried it out. The results were amazing! The areas that used to get oily and shiny stayed matte for hours. I'd really recommend this to anyone with an oily complexion!
ConsI mainly used this around my laugh lines and nose area, but those hard-to-reach spots by the sides of my nose were tricky to clean properly. Maybe because I wasn't diligent enough with cleansing, or because this is a pore-filling powder, I started getting little whiteheads in those areas. They just kept coming back no matter how much I tried to extract them. If you use this, you'll really need to be extra careful with your cleansing routine, and use just a small amount.

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.ProsMy skin is sensitive and can be both combination and oily depending on the season. During the summer, my skin was oily, so I had to wear powder constantly. Compared to the product I used before (from Daiso), Coverage: It feels like the powder is applied naturally! It doesn't make my skin look white, but rather gives a skin-like finish, which I really liked. Oil control: It controls oil better than the product I used before, but over time, it does start to break down a little. However, it lasts quite a long time. Adherence: I always use a brush, so I'm not sure about the puff, but when using a brush, the powder doesn't fly around excessively.
ConsAs I mentioned before, since my skin is oily, it does start to break down over time. The T-zone area tends to get shiny.
TipCompared to the powder I usually use, this one is more natural-looking and lasts longer. I found that mixing it with the Ponds powder makes it last even longer!

I applied it well and walked outside a lot, but it lasted without pilling. And the scent is not polarizing, so I think other people can use it well too. When I applied it, there was no whitening or heating of the skin, and I used it well.
ConsLike other companies' products, I wish the puff was a little bigger. And I think it's good to be careful with the amount when applying. I also recommend applying it with a brush! And those with dry or extremely oily skin may not be satisfied.
TipIf adjusting the amount is difficult, I recommend applying it with a brush.

When used as a finishing touch on the T-zone after makeup, the long-lasting makeup effect was extended and the powdery finish felt wonderful.
ConsThe puff didn't feel very soft, and after applying the powder, it was clumped in one area. So I had to check it one more time before going out.
TipYou could try using a different puff or using a brush to apply it, which should allow you to use it without any clumping!

I disliked the characteristic fragrance of Innisfree products, but this one didn't have that, which I liked! -Application: It seems to apply at an appropriate amount. Since the amount that comes out is not a lot, I didn't have to adjust the amount too much and could apply it little by little, which I liked. -Longevity: I mainly applied it around the eyelids, and there was almost no creasing, and it seemed to last for over 6 hours. I once wore it all over my face and went for 9 hours without looking in the mirror, and it had faded a bit. But I think this level of longevity is excellent. -Skin Irritation: I have really, really sensitive skin, but there was nothing I would call a skin irritation.
Cons-Case: The hole is small, so it doesn't come out well... The amount that comes out is really little, so I wondered if it was even coming out? -Facial Discomfort: When I applied it all over my face, after a long time, I felt a bit of facial discomfort. For long-term use, it's probably better to avoid applying it all over the face.
TipI use it as an eye primer substitute, and it's fine. The amount doesn't apply excessively, and there's no fragrance, so I think I'll continue using this product rather than Innisfree products going forward!
