I'm on my 6th bottle and counting, When applied to the T-zone which is prone to excess oil, it absorbs the oil and leaves my skin smooth and velvety🥺. After evening cleansing, I used to wake up with a shiny nose and melting makeup due to the oil, but that's no longer an issue,,ㅜㅜ The size may seem small, but the creamy formula spreads widely with just a small amount, so it lasts a long time:) I've tried many pore care products as someone with large pores, but this is the only one that's been this effective••. It helps control excess oil production, preventing pore enlargement.✔️✔️
ConsAbsolutely nothing. At first, I thought the price was too high compared to the quantity, But since it's a cream only for the T-zone, the quantity isn't that small, and it's worth the price. If it gets discontinued, I'll go for the Bioderma one.
TipAfter applying hydrating or oil-based skincare, when you put this on, It gets absorbed so quickly, leaving your face looking radiant and your nose feeling soft and fluffy..🤣🤣 The order might be a bit confusing, but I go toner or watery essence>pore refiner>moisturizing step:-) It gets absorbed in about 10 seconds, so it doesn't interfere with the next moisturizing step.

After applying it to your nose, just wait a bit and look in the mirror - you'll see your nose stays smooth and matte, even if you've applied a moisturizer before. You can immediately feel this product's oil-controlling power!ㅎㅎ ⭐️Versatility You probably already know this product can be used as a primer, right? The product description says it can be used as a multi-purpose primer for makeup, so I apply it to my nose and between my brows after sunscreen, before foundation or cushion. This dramatically improves the longevity of my makeup on oily areas. In addition to its excellent skincare abilities, the fact that it can also be used as a primer means I keep repurchasing this product!
Cons⭐️No Effect on Blackheads The reason I originally bought this product was for blackheads, but personally I didn't see any effects. As I mentioned before, I use it great as a primer during the day, but at night, even after applying it over my moisturizer, my nose still gets shiny after a while, showing this product doesn't fully control oil. It seems simply applying a product isn't enough to get rid of blackheads - consistent care and management is necessary..
TipAt night, apply this as the last step after your moisturizer, and during the day, apply it after sunscreen as a primer before foundation or cushion - this will boost the longevity of your base makeup on oily areas like the nose, between the brows, and forehead!

The absorption is fast, and I strongly recommend it for its effectiveness.
ConsThe amount is too small, and it's quite expensive. I can't use it freely, and I feel regretful every time I use it. The ingredients also seem to include some undesirable components.

When applied and dried, it feels like the pores are temporarily reduced. It gives a feeling of controlling excess oil.
ConsIt controls oil a bit too much, leaving a very dry feeling. The price is very high compared to the volume. The pores feel tightened, but it's a temporary effect.

It absorbs into the skin well and leaves a soft, fluffy finish, so I use it instead of a base layer or primer before makeup. Applying it before makeup helps control T-zone oiliness and prevents makeup from breaking down, it's the best!
ConsWhile it does help control oil, it doesn't really tighten pores, and the scent is a bit like detergent :(
TipUsing it as a primer before makeup, rather than as a base layer, helps minimize makeup breakdown and reduces the need for touch-ups^_^!

It also functioned as a primer, so it was great to use in the summer!
ConsUsing this product alone seems a bit drying, so it's better to thoroughly hydrate the skin when using it as a base, and only apply it to the T-zone area.

ConsThe amount is quite small for the price. Other than that, it's great!

Absorption was very fast.
ConsI have combination skin and lately the T-zone area has been getting oily and the pores on my cheeks and nose have been gradually enlarging, so I tried a pore management product. My husband and I used it for about two days?? My face felt irritated and the skin started peeling off and turning red... It got extremely dry. I only applied the serum to my cheeks and nose, and used my regular lotion on the other areas, but only the areas where I used the product felt irritated, turned red, and the skin peeled off. And my pores didn't shrink at all.... Ugh.
TipI have combination skin and I think the reason my pores have been enlarging is that the product ingredients didn't agree with my skin, but the product itself felt a bit strong.

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.ProsFirst of all, the feel of use was good. When I apply and rub it a few times, I hate products that feel sticky, but this one was quickly absorbed. It doesn't feel moisturizing, but just like my skin is dry. It applies well on top of my skincare routine before makeup. However, using a matte cushion on top might make it seem like my dry patches are accentuated. I'd recommend getting a sample, especially if you have oily skin or are concerned about the T-zone area.
ConsIt didn't really stand out to me that much since it works well for me. However, it dries down quite matte, so I wouldn't recommend it for dry skin types. It also doesn't seem to work that well with matte cushion foundations.
TipI tried a sample first and liked it. My T-zone isn't super oily, but it does get a bit shiny. Applying this before makeup leaves a nice, smooth, velvety finish.
