I've been using Stridex (the green and red versions) for over a decade before they were even available in Korea, but I switched to this. Since it's an ampoule rather than a pad, there's less friction on the skin. It effectively removes excess sebum and tightens pores beautifully!
ConsThe packaging is a bit disappointing. I actually prefer the dropper that came with the sample version - the pump dispenser is really not great at all.
TipFor best results, try this routine: First, use a sebum softener to loosen up excess oil, then extract it. Follow up with a soothing rubber mask, and apply this as your first ampoule. The next day, your skin will look absolutely amazing!

It also layers well with other serums during the winter months.
ConsThe texture is a bit sticky, which can feel slightly heavy. At first, I was worried it might cause blackheads due to its stickiness, but thankfully it didn't. The packaging is a bit inconvenient though.
TipWhen applying serums, I usually use about three, and I apply this one last. I love how it provides a firm, tightening effect on my skin.

While it's not bad for daily use, I found it quite effective for smoothing dead skin cells and controlling sebum. Thanks to the AHA, BHA, and PHA ingredients, I felt my skin becoming smoother after application, and my pores seemed slightly refined. It wasn't irritating by my standards, but first-time users might find it a bit intense. With consistent use, it seems to help improve skin texture, and its lightweight formula makes it easy to apply without feeling heavy. It's a product that's better for long-term care rather than immediate results.
ConsIt does have a somewhat rich feel, so it might be better to use it only on blackhead treatment days rather than daily.

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've been using this for about two weeks, and my rough skin texture seems to have improved. I can even see a slight reduction in my pores! I was worried about irritation since it contains 15% exfoliating ingredients, but the highest concentration is PHA, which is gentle, so it was fine. It definitely exfoliates well, and with the BHA content, I feel like I'm producing less sebum too. I wasn't sure at first since I hadn't used it for long, but people have been telling me my skin looks better, so I'm planning to keep using it consistently.
ConsIt can sting a bit if your skin is sensitive or if you apply it after removing hair from your upper lip area. On those days, I just apply it to my T-zone. For someone like me who already has an exfoliation routine, I don't notice much effect on pores, but it seems good for improving overall skin texture.
TipIt's good to apply this as the first step in your skincare routine to enhance absorption.

I tend to have quite a few blackheads and excess sebum, but with consistent use, my nose and chin always feel silky smooth! The amount might look small, but a little goes a long way, so it lasts quite well.
ConsI couldn't find a single thing to complain about! I think I've found my holy grail pore serum.
TipI feel like the effects are even better when used together with the Medicube pore pads.

With AHA, BHA, and PHA all included, it's great for managing sebum and pores. Definitely a worthwhile product!
ConsThere's a slight tingling sensation, and it's on the pricier side.
TipThose with blemish-prone skin should use with caution.

But after using this, even the pimples that were about to form calmed down, and I'm not getting any breakouts at all now. I think this serum really helps control sebum! I rarely write reviews, but this product is such a great buy that I had to leave one. If you're struggling with acne, give this a try!
ConsThere's nothing disappointing about it so far. The price seems reasonable too.
TipI'm only using it on my chin since that's my problem area.

After using this product, it's like my pores have gained elasticity. I definitely feel like they've become less noticeable. As the pores tightened, excess sebum seemed to clear out on its own. When I used this product along with AHA/BHA, the effects were even more noticeable.
ConsWhile the pores do appear smaller, it's not like they completely disappear. It's more accurate to say that the pores gain elasticity rather than shrinking dramatically.

It's spot-on for that! ✓ It effectively dissolves impurities and sebum deep within the pores. It feels like a concentrated version of the first step in the Dr. Choi and Park blackhead removal pack.
Cons✓ The irritation is truly intense. Those with super sensitive skin, please don't apply this liberally all over your face, or you might end up in the hospital. Absolutely avoid that! ✓ There's no noticeable pore-shrinking effect. I envy those who've seen results for their pores, honestly.
TipRemember to apply only a tiny amount in a thin layer. If you have sensitive skin, don't use it daily. Leave at least 2-3 days between applications. Apply in small circular motions on areas with visible pores.

The effects are even more noticeable when you stop using it.
ConsThe downside is the stickiness, but this might vary from person to person. In my experience, while it feels sticky, it's not long-lasting and has a pleasant, bouncy texture that I don't mind. However, I'd recommend something else for those with super sensitive skin.
