ConsHowever, I'm not sure about its long-term effectiveness. Also, it seems to draw moisture away, leaving my skin feeling a bit dry.

When summer comes, my pores tend to expand and become more noticeable, so I always find myself reaching for pore-focused products during this season. The texture is smooth, and when you squeeze it out of the dropper, it has a slightly runny consistency. I thought it was free from allergens when I bought it, but I might have been mistaken... Anyway, even though it lists some potential allergens, my combination dehydrated skin didn't experience any blemishes! I didn't have any allergic reactions either. After application, it absorbs quickly into the skin, giving a tight and firming sensation. Is this what they call the 'tightening effect'!? But it doesn't feel suffocating, more like it's holding everything in place. You know how applying too many skincare products in summer can feel heavy? Well, this pore essence alone solves that problem perfectly! I'm prone to getting blemishes on my nose, so I usually avoid applying products there. However, this pore-tightening essence worked fine even on my nose! Not only did it not cause any blemishes, but it actually helped control my pores and sebum.
ConsThose with dry skin might find it a bit drying. It may be too drying for winter use.
TipGreat for pore care in summer. One layer is enough in summer! It's perfect for summer use!

ConsEven after using almost the entire bottle, I didn't see much pore-reducing effect. It caused severe tightness, and as my skin became drier with age, it made the dryness even more noticeable, making the whole bottle difficult to finish. Also, when I applied this and then put on makeup, it would pill up and make it difficult to apply makeup. It seems to create a protective layer, but I'm not sure if that's because the product isn't fully absorbing or if it's because I'm using a matte type and then a more hydrating one on top, causing the pilling. In any case, I wouldn't recommend this to those with tightness or dry skin, even in the summer.

I only apply it to the areas around my nose and chin where I often get blemishes, and the blemishes have definitely decreased, and it's effective!!
ConsIt's very drying! My skin is also dry, so it really pulls. That's why I only apply it to my nose and chin where my pores are large and I often get blemishes!
TipThis product line is quite drying for those with dry skin! However, for those who can't avoid using it, make sure to apply a generous amount of moisturizer at the end.

I also feel like my face has become more taut and firm.
ConsYou should only apply it to the areas with large pores, because if you apply it all over your face, your whole face will feel tight and uncomfortable. Be sure to apply it only to the targeted areas!

Even when I use natural cosmetics, some products can cause breakouts, redness, or irritation. However, this product applies smoothly and gently, and my skin feels soothed, so I continue to purchase it.
ConsWhen I use it alone, my skin feels a bit tight, but I still use it by itself. Other products don't seem to work for me, but this one keeps my skin clear of blemishes. It does feel a bit tight, but there's no redness, dryness, or flakiness, and no irritation... As for pores, well... I don't see an immediate effect. With any skincare product, consistent use is necessary - if you want quick results, you'll need to see a dermatologist. But despite the tightness, I'm completely satisfied since it keeps my skin free of breakouts.
TipUse it with a lotion or moisturizer.

ConsThe downside is that it feels too tight after absorption (for dry skin)
TipGently pat to help absorption, then follow up with moisturizing care and finish with an oil
