The Saem Mineral Powder is a great match for glowing base products. When used over a moisturizing cushion or liquid foundation, it enhances the glow while smoothly covering pores, resulting in a much cleaner skin expression. Personally, I recommend using a soft powder brush to lightly sweep it on, rather than an air puff. Focusing just on the T-zone and cheek area can help control oil while maintaining a natural, glowing skin appearance. For dry skin, it's better to use it as a spot powder rather than all over the face.

However, unfortunately, this product also has drawbacks. The biggest drawback is dryness. This product certainly makes the skin feel smooth, but for dry skin or sensitive skin, it can cause flaking or cracking. Especially when applied to relatively dry areas like the cheeks, chin, or around the mouth, the skin can become uneven or the base can break down.

The second is that there are limitations in covering uneven texture. This product is excellent at covering pores, but on skin with a lot of unevenness, it can actually accentuate the texture. Especially when applied to areas with acne scars or blemishes, it can appear chalky and the makeup may not look clean. Therefore, it is more suitable to use it focused on pores rather than uneven texture.

The third is portability. The product itself is small and lightweight, but the container structure makes it difficult to dispense the powder in small amounts, so when doing quick touch-ups, you may end up spilling too much or not getting enough. Since there is no built-in puff, you also have to remember to bring a brush or puff separately, which is inconvenient.

The fourth is the color. This product is a translucent powder, and it works well on bright skin, but it can appear somewhat white on medium to dark skin tones. Especially when taking photos with a flash or in direct sunlight, the face can appear unusually pale. Since the color cannot be adjusted, if you have a darker skin tone, it is recommended to test it first before using.

Lastly, it may be slightly disappointing for those sensitive to fragrance. This product has almost no scent, but it is not completely fragrance-free, as it has a slight powdery smell. Sensitive individuals may find this scent bothersome.

The Saem Mineral Powder was the perfect product for those who wanted to cover pores and achieve a smooth, powdery finish simultaneously. Especially for people like me with wide butterfly-zone pores and oily skin, powder is essential for base makeup, and I've tried many products, but none were as satisfying as this one in terms of price-to-performance ratio. In fact, I've repurchased it on Coupang 8 times, making it a true holy grail item that I use consistently.

The first advantage is the pore-covering power. Comparing before and after using this product, the butterfly-zone pores are noticeably filled in, to the point where the difference is clearly visible to the naked eye. Especially when using a glowy cushion foundation, this powder helps 'refine the texture' and makes the skin look remarkably smooth, almost like applying a Photoshop filter.

The second advantage is the finely-milled texture of the powder. While many affordable powders have coarse particles that are prone to clumping, this product has an extremely fine and soft texture that applies evenly without any clumping. When sweeping it on with a powder brush, the base makeup doesn't shift or become uneven, so there's hardly any caking or flaking.

Thirdly, I really appreciate the lightweight, non-cakey feel. Without the typical heavy or thick powder sensation, it can be applied in a thin, lightweight layer. Even when using it all over the face, it doesn't feel burdensome and leaves a semi-matte finish, making it perfect for daily makeup.

The fourth advantage is the great value. Although it's a small-sized product, it lasts an incredibly long time. I tend to powder my entire face, so I expected it to run out quickly, but the amount is quite generous, and the affordable price makes repurchasing easy. In fact, I always buy it through Coupang's rocket delivery, and I feel like my base makeup isn't complete without this product.Lastly, I'm also satisfied with the lasting power. When I do my makeup in the morning and go out, the oil barely comes through until the afternoon, and my makeup doesn't break down even without touch-ups. Particularly, the issue of makeup slipping away through the pores due to oil seepage has been reduced, so this is an item that can simultaneously provide makeup fixation and longevity.

샘물 퍼펙트 포어 파우더

I tried the Missha Glow Pore Powder, but I have to say there are a few things that disappointed me. First, the oil-controlling function was a bit lacking, so the oil came back quickly over time. Also, when I applied it, it finished the skin too matte, and I sometimes felt dryness instead.

There was also a bit of fine powder flying around, which was inconvenient as it would get on my clothes or hair when applying. And the pore coverage was a bit less than I had expected, so my pores weren't completely covered.

It seems like the exfoliation has become more pronounced, and I don't feel the benefits I had before.

It's difficult to achieve a perfectly matte finish, and some shine remains on the skin. I didn't really feel any tone-up effect.

The product did a great job of controlling oil and the puff had a nice thickness and softness to it. The particles were fine and spread well, and it didn't come out in large amounts at once, which was nice.

I can't help it, but it gets stiff, doesn't it?? That seems to be the biggest downside.

It's great that it can be used on both hair and skin, and it really helps control the oiliness. The scent is also refreshing.

Due to the nature of the powder, the puff is a bit small.

I had purchased this product because I have oily T-zone, and I was really satisfied with it.
It's an unscented white powder product, and I used it as the final step in my base makeup routine after my skincare.
When I apply it, my face becomes nicely matte and smooth.
I didn't experience any side effects like breakouts.

First of all, I'm sensitive to smells, and the smell seemed unpleasant, possibly mixed with the foundation's scent.

I think I bought it for around 5,600 won at an offline store at a discounted price. I'm not sure if there are any other advantages besides the price.

There are no downsides. There are no downsides at all..

It did a great job of controlling oil and wasn't too matte, but finished softly, which I really liked.
The scent is also great.
I highly recommend this to oily skin types.

Tap a bit of the product onto the brush, then sweep it across your face~

It's hard to close the lid. The lid is thin and not sturdy, which is concerning..

As soon as you apply it, it feels so soft and fluffy~~ Such a pleasant soft feeling. I recommend applying it with a brush rather than your fingers!! And if you gently tap it on the forehead area, goodbye excess oil~

I was completely satisfied with everything 🤩 I used it for a long time and didn't really notice any downsides!

✔️ It really absorbs the oil! 🖤 Personally, I found that the Innisfree No Sebum Powder had a bit of a clumping issue, but this one doesn't clump at all and absorbs the oil nicely (о´∀`о) I ended up using this powder type (ㅎㅎ)
✔️ A useful item when your bangs get oily..💞

The disappointing part is the ingredients, which are a bit unsatisfactory... Some undesirable ingredients are included, which is a shame.

The T-zone area was very oily, but this product definitely helps control the sebum. However, it didn't last very long...
It was better than Nose Balm as it didn't make my skin feel as stuffy. The price was also reasonable.

If I had to point out a downside, it would be the puff...?? The puff wasn't very good to use after applying makeup, as it felt too dense.

I wrote this review as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer! It was better than Innisfree No Sebum in terms of price-to-performance ratio!!! The puff included was not very good for applying after makeup, so I used a blush brush to dab it on instead!! I think I would be willing to buy and use it again in the future.

The only downside was that it felt a bit powdery, but most powders tend to have that slightly powdery effect.

It absorbs oil well and does a great job of color correcting. I bought it on sale for around 6,000 won. It also works well on the forehead area, helping to control oil and making the makeup look more natural.
