Not Effective for Inner Dryness

Pleasant Scent

Easily Absorbed

Easy to Apply

Creamy

Rich

I've included a tip to address the drawback I mentioned. Though this review is a bit late, I'm sharing it now because I had no issues while using the product.

I tend to apply it at night, but when I only use this after toner, my skin feels tight. It works better when I layer it with a hydrating cream or a tea tree soothing product.

This product was great for summer use. I applied it after toner, mostly at night. In the mornings, I couldn't wait for it to absorb fully (to avoid pilling), so I only used it in the morning on weekends. The scent is very subtle, almost non-existent, making it pleasant to use. It has the typical sticky texture of an essence.

포어 타이트닝 세럼

It might be a bit drying if you only use the serum alone. The amount is quite small, so I ran out of it quickly.

I was extremely satisfied with this product. After using up two bottles, I definitely felt it provided excellent pore care. It also kept my skin well-hydrated, making it a go-to product for me. I think this would be perfect for those with combination dehydrated skin.

I mainly used it on my nose and T-zone. Given its good hydration, it could work well as a hydrating serum.

I bought this before discovering the Hwahae app. After checking the ingredient list... well... I haven't used it much, but I'm not sure if it's really effective for pores as I expected.

This pore serum has great hydration, feeling as moisturizing as a hydrating serum. It gives a temporary brightening effect when applied. The generous amount should last a while.

I'm not sure about its effectiveness, but that's the case with all pore products. I wonder if it might help with maintaining skin condition?

I bought this product for summer because it claims to minimize pores, but it's actually more hydrating than I expected.

Disappointing pore care
My main reason for purchasing was pore care and tightening, but unfortunately, I didn't see the desired results. This left me feeling a bit let down.

Usage period: 6 months

Delightfully firm texture
The formula has a slight tackiness, which made my skin feel wonderfully taut. I have sensitive, blemish-prone skin, but after applying this product, I didn't experience any breakouts or skin irritation. This gave me peace of mind while using it.

While it's good value for money, I don't feel like my skin has seen enough improvement to warrant repurchasing it.

It applies gently and smoothly. The scent is pleasant and it absorbs well into the skin. The pump dispenser works efficiently too.

Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done for pores that have already expanded significantly. Using this product won't make them shrink.

My skin is combination dehydrated, sensitive, and occasionally prone to blemishes. I've been wearing a mask for a long time due to the pandemic, and I think that's why I keep getting blemishes and my pores seem more noticeable. So after some deliberation, I decided to order this product...

I'm pleased with the hydration and how well it absorbs. It's nice that it absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky feeling. As for the pores, well... I don't expect any cosmetic product alone to reduce pore size, but it does make my skin look smoother, if that makes sense? When I apply makeup, my pores don't stand out and my skin looks more even. 

The scent is slightly reminiscent of tea tree. Personally, I prefer herbal, floral, or citrus fragrances.

There are no drawbacks. None at all. Absolutely nothing negative to say.

I used this because my pores were really noticeable. When I applied it using a device rather than my hands to help it absorb better, I felt like it might be having a bit of an effect.

I can't really think of any downsides at the moment. I haven't been using it for long, so it's still hard to say...

I was worried about my enlarged pores, so I decided to give this a try. It absorbs well and seems to be quite effective.

I'd recommend this product for those with oily skin. Try to purchase it when it's on sale for the best value.

I managed to snag this at a great price during a sale and have been using it consistently throughout the summer. My skin tends to get quite oily in the summer, making it difficult to apply cream after toner, so I found myself reaching for this more often. While I didn't notice any dramatic changes, I didn't experience any adverse reactions either. In fact, I felt like my pores appeared slightly smaller. I'm planning to continue using it!

After a few weeks of use, I developed some blemishes. I'm not sure if it's because of this product, so I'll need to keep using it to find out.

I really like how well it absorbs and applies after use. It leaves my skin with a beautiful glow.

It claimed to tighten and refine pores, but I didn't see any effects, unfortunately. 
The ingredients list is a bit concerning...

I love the fresh, zesty scent! 
The semi-transparent container is great - you can easily see how much product is left. 
It applies smoothly with a slightly silky texture that absorbs well!

- While it provides some hydration, it doesn't quite address deep dryness

- Absorbs well with a rich texture that doesn't smear
- Almost fragrance-free, with just a hint of refreshing lemon-like scent
