The pore-minimizing effect seems to be short-lived. However, it doesn't cause any breakouts, so I'll just keep using it.

I tried the pink product and it has a lighter texture. It's suitable for my sensitive skin.

I think it would be great to follow up with a hydrating essence after applying this!

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

When applied, it gives a slightly tightening sensation on the pores!

I'm currently using this with 'ISOI Pore Tightening Fresh Gel Cream', and it seems great for pore management. I'm considering trying the serum next. My evening routine: B.PLAIN Greenbean Cleansing Oil → B.PLAIN Greenbean Low pH Cleansing Foam → Torriden Dive-In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner → ISOI Pore Tightening Program (Ampoule) (1-2 times a week) → ISOI Pore Tightening Fresh Gel Cream (used together with the ISOI Pore Tightening Program Ampoule).

It might be too drying for winter use, but should be fine for summer.

I bought this last winter and tried it, but stopped using it due to dryness. I've been using it again since February 2023, and I feel like my pores have shrunk a bit. Since I saw results with ISOI's 'Cicago Cica Double Effect Ampoule', I believe consistent use of this product will also show benefits.

While the effects weren't dramatically noticeable, I still found it to be quite effective.

The ingredients seem to be high-quality. I can trust and use ISOI products with confidence because they're known for their gentle formulations.

As it's a cosmetic product, there's no dramatic effect, to be honest. I use it thinking of it as part of a consistent skincare routine.

I trust and use ISOI products because of their excellent ingredients. In summer, I use it as a serum all over my face. At other times, I apply it specifically to areas like my nose and chin. I always make sure to use it after removing blackheads.

Great for pore care in summer. One layer is enough in summer! It's perfect for summer use!

Those with dry skin might find it a bit drying. It may be too drying for winter use.

This is from the ISOI pore line, and I used it in summer! 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.

Try keeping track of how many times you use the product on the packaging. It'll give you an idea of how quickly you go through it and help you plan your future skincare purchases!

I'm not sure about the actual effectiveness. Personally, I preferred the tonic essence from the same line - it was really great. If I had the money, I'd love to buy the larger size of that one.

I found this product to be a perfect match for my skin, which is prone to blemishes and enlarged pores. It's a functional, natural product that really suits my needs. I recommend buying it when it's on sale in the Isoi app, as it can be quite pricey. The 30ml bottle has lasted me 22 uses so far (I keep track), and I still have half left! I don't use it daily, just when I'm concerned about breakouts. It gives me that feeling of taking good care of my skin. At night, I often use a brightening serum with niacinamide, so this complements my routine nicely.

I found using the tonic essence (toner) from the same line to be even more effective! It's also great value for money.

It's decent overall, but if you have super sensitive skin like me, it can cause small bumps. If you're prone to breakouts when using watery products during sensitive skin phases, use this cautiously and monitor your skin's condition!

Its strength lies in its versatility! While effective, it's a bit pricey... Check out my pro tip!

Great for soothing pores. The essence and serum have similar effects.

There's nothing to complain about, but they're making me write more than 20 characters...

True to its name, it's effective at tightening pores. I tried the more concentrated serum since the essence worked so well... The effects seem similar between the two. It's summer, so I'm skipping emulsion/cream on my T-zone and finishing with this instead. It doesn't leave my combination skin feeling dry. The back label says it's a functional cosmetic for wrinkle improvement, so I tried it around my eyes too. I can actually feel a slight firming effect!

It seems like the firm texture disappears rather quickly... Even though it clearly absorbs well when you touch your skin, the overall feeling on the skin is somewhat underwhelming.

The texture is smooth and has a nice firmness to it. It's not too sticky and absorbs quickly after application. There's a definite feeling that it's working to minimize pores.

Even 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.

It has a non-sticky texture and reduces sebum production, so it seems like a good option for oily skin.

The price-to-volume ratio is disappointing
If you apply too much, it will peel off like a mask ㅜㅜ

We're all using the same pore line
When your pores get irritated, use a toner pack and this product well-applied, your skin will be smooth.
