Effective for oil control (except during summer) 2. Smoothens skin texture 3. Gives a slight impression of minimized pores 4. Slightly brightens areas with pigmentation
ConsFor oily skin, it's too hydrating for use in midsummer. Personally, I use niacinamide for oil control, but it's ironic that this product feels a bit sticky and greasy, making it unusable in midsummer when oil control is crucial.
TipDue to its intense hydration, it was too heavy for summer use, so I diluted it to 5% in a toner with high alcohol content for a refreshing feel. For those who find the texture uncomfortable, I recommend mixing it with another toner.

I changed my entire skincare routine, but nothing seemed to help. Then a friend recommended this product, and I decided to try it along with a few others from the line. It's amazing! I'm in my third week of use, and people have been commenting on how much brighter my complexion looks. Personally, I feel like my pores have tightened a bit, and my skin feels smoother. Those little bumps under the skin that weren't surfacing have diminished! I know it's difficult for products to actually shrink pores, but this is the first one that seems to be doing it! (And believe me, I've tried everything from Thermage to Ulthera to Rejuran, sparing no expense.) The reasonable price is just the cherry on top - I'm so satisfied! I don't usually write reviews, but I had to share this while reordering.
ConsThere's honestly nothing bad to say! If I have to write at least 20 characters... well, I'm at a loss!
TipI use the 10% version in the morning and the 20% version in the afternoon. When blemishes appear or on areas prone to breakouts, I apply centella soothing ampoule on a cotton pad and leave it on the skin. It has a great calming effect. I'm also using the Dunahorang ampoule alongside this product!

After using this following my skin toner and before my ampoule cream, I noticed my skin seemed to absorb the ampoule cream much better.
ConsI haven't experienced any downsides so far, but I'll update if anything comes up in the future!

It feels like my pores are getting more refined.
ConsIt doesn't seem to completely eliminate blemishes, but I suppose I should be satisfied with them becoming slightly less noticeable.
TipThe texture is so fluid that I sometimes use it in place of my toner.

I loved how easily it absorbed, even with just a small amount.
ConsAs someone with dry skin, I found it a bit disappointing that it left my skin feeling somewhat tight...

I was thrilled to be selected as a Hwahae Tester for this product I had high hopes for. I focused on examining the key features this product emphasizes: non-irritating, sebum control, and pore improvement. ✔ Non-irritating While I don't have super sensitive skin and rarely experience irritation, this product was indeed completely non-irritating. ✔ Sebum control I saw fantastic results here! Around my nose and forehead, I had oily patches that weren't improving even with hydration. But after three days, I noticed my makeup wasn't separating and my skin looked smoother. I'm very satisfied! ✔ Pore improvement Honestly, there weren't dramatic effects, but my skin did become smoother overall, which I think contributed to the appearance of my pores. Overall, I'm satisfied, especially with how well it controlled excess sebum.
ConsThe quantity is disappointingly small... I find myself using it sparingly. Wish they offered a larger size!
TipWhile this is a treatment, using it alone might leave your skin feeling dry. Be sure to layer a hydrating moisturizer on top for extra skin protection!

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 off, I was thrilled to be selected for The Hwahae Testers program, especially since this product claims to improve pores! Here's my honest review after 3 days of use (for combination dehydrated skin): - Despite my super sensitive skin, I experienced no adverse reactions during the 3-day trial. Checking on Hwahae, I found it's indeed a very gentle product! - Unlike typical serums, this one leaves a slightly powdery finish rather than a moisturized feel. - The brightening effect mentioned is no joke - I noticed my complexion looked a bit brighter after application!
Cons- Three days might not be enough to see significant pore improvement, but I do think it helps control excess oil. - When applying, I noticed some small white particles. Not sure if this happens to everyone or just on my skin...
TipI'd recommend this more for oily skin types rather than dry!

It's supposed to be good for pores, and it feels like it's... tightening them? But it's not an instant tightening effect. It's more like a cosmetic that shows changes after repeated use! When I first received the product, I didn't notice much, but after consistent use, my skin became so soft and smooth! I was initially puzzled by the small size of the product, but after using it, I understood why. It turns out that applying a small amount gently and consistently to your face is what brings about the changes!
ConsThe downside is that the storage method is surprisingly tricky... I keep it away from sunlight in a cool place where the temperature doesn't fluctuate much. I hope people don't expect to see immediate changes with this product! I don't mean this in a negative way, but it's because you'll see even better results with consistent, long-term use!
TipI found that when I apply this product after my skin pack, emulsion, and eye cream, my skin looks better the next day! My pores appear tighter too! Thanks to this, my makeup goes on more smoothly. Another tip: take out an amount about the size of a dime, warm it slightly between your hands (just a tiny bit of warmth!), and it absorbs even faster!

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. Before diving into the product review, let me describe my skin condition. I have a lot of pores and sebum around my nose area. While my skin is generally dry, the area around my nose tends to be oily. Also, my skin doesn't usually develop blemishes unless I use very harsh cosmetics. One of the product's strengths was its ability to help control sebum. Since this product focuses on improving sebum and pores, I applied it primarily around my pore areas for a week to assess its effectiveness. The day after application and in the afternoons, I could notice less oil production around my nose compared to usual. The second positive aspect was its firm texture and quick absorption. Although the formula wasn't completely liquid, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it adhered to my skin, despite initial doubts about its effectiveness on pores. It's a plus that it absorbs relatively quickly after applying toner, allowing for gentle patting. Thirdly, I appreciated the lack of fragrance. The absence of a distinct scent made it easy to apply without any aversion and blend well with other skincare products. While the pore photos don't show dramatic changes visibly, the area around my nose feels smoother, without the bumpy texture it had before use. I was satisfied with how it absorbed without irritation when I developed milia due to hormonal changes. Although there weren't noticeable changes after a week of use, seeing how it regulated oil production from pores in the short term makes me think it could be beneficial with long-term use. It also worked well with other skincare products (IOPE Derma Cica Cream, Mamonde Rose Water Toner, Innisfree Green Tea Emulsion) without causing major blemishes. I was satisfied throughout its use and would consider repurchasing when I run out.
ConsThe absorption was quicker than expected, which meant I had to apply it rapidly to ensure even distribution when dispensing it onto my hand. By the time I finished applying it to other areas, it felt like it was already being absorbed, which was a bit disappointing.

For the first three days, I was worried about potential irritation, so I mixed about 3 drops with a soothing gel and finished with a cream on top. About an hour after application, I noticed a temporary pore-tightening effect. When washing my face in the morning, my skin felt incredibly soft to the touch, which I was thrilled about. After three days without any irritation and seeing great results, I increased the amount to a dime-sized portion as suggested on the product label. Unfortunately, this led to small, red blemishes appearing in my U-zone. It seems using a smaller amount works better for me. After about a week of use, I noticed the pore-tightening effect was only temporary in the beginning, and I'm not sure about improvements in elasticity or wrinkles yet. However, the brightening effect is truly remarkable and visible! I got quite tanned over the summer, but with consistent use, I think my skin will return to its original fair complexion.
ConsInstead of applying a dime-sized amount from the start as per the product instructions, I recommend gradually increasing the amount drop by drop to find what works best for you. Since this product contains such a high concentration of niacinamide, rather than using it with other essences or functional products, mixing it with a soothing gel or gentle emulsion might be a way to reduce irritation while maximizing effectiveness.
TipApplying this after chemical exfoliation with BHA yields even better results. The key tip is to carefully control the amount you use.
