So I'm not sure if it's had a big effect.😢 I don't think my pores have shrunk or the unevenness has improved. The texture is viscous, with a mix of stickiness and slipperiness that lingers. The application is very smooth and hydrating, leaving the skin plump.😍 I think it would work well for dry skin types.
ConsIt is not absorbed very quickly and leaves a lot of sticky and gooey residue. If oily-skinned people use it, it may feel greasy and heavy, as the absorption is slow. Personally, I also experienced some breakouts, so I didn't reach for it often. I don't recommend this to those who dislike residue, oiliness, or for those with oily skin types.
TipMy skin feels like the oil-moisture balance is disrupted due to excess sebum. So I apply blotting papers and that helps prevent breakouts. On days when I don't use blotting papers, I tend to have a few more blemishes. I recommend using blotting papers - it's really helpful!☺️

It has a chewy, smooth texture and applies well to the skin.
ConsDue to some residue, absorption is not very good and there is a slight medicinal odor.

The affordable price made it convenient to try out.
ConsOne disappointing aspect is that there is a sticky residue left on my hands after application. Also, I noticed that those with larger pores seem to see benefits, but for those with average-sized pores, the pore-tightening effect was not as significant.
TipThis has a plump and supple texture, and if you apply other products on top without allowing for sufficient absorption, it can feel like it's just sitting on the surface. So it's best to apply this as your first step, or after allowing enough time for absorption.

I purchased and have been using this product since it was first released, and it has been serving me well without any issues. —————— 🧏🏻♀️ SKIN TYPE Dry / Redness, Freckles, Dark Circles, Uneven Texture, Whiteheads, Milia Skin Tone: 23 / Long-Lasting Makeup / Mild Atopy —————— 👍 What I Liked - Smooth and satisfying usage It has a good consistency - it glides on smoothly and has a nice, creamy texture. I think even sensitive skin types could apply it without irritation. However, you do need to make sure it's properly absorbed. - Decent pore-minimizing effect🌟 📸 Photo (1) - Taken a day after using another product, with breakouts Even with the breakouts, my pores are barely visible, even with the flash on. Photo (2) - Two days later, with enlarged pores Photo (3) - Immediately after applying this product 3 times My pores are usually quite small and barely visible up close, but after using another product, my skin became unbalanced and my pores enlarged significantly. I quickly applied this product (about 3 layers) and while the ampoule ingredient likely helped, the pores did appear slightly smaller. Consistent use should provide even better results. I hadn't really noticed the pore-minimizing effect before, but I think the regular use of this serum has helped maintain my naturally small pores. - Incredible value for the volume Compared to other products that are typically 30ml and cost 10,000-30,000 won, this 30ml serum averages around 6,000 won, and the 60ml size is around 10,000 won. That's a lot of product for a very reasonable price. Even though cheaper products may have different formulations or lower-quality ingredients, this serum delivers good results for the cost. It's hard to feel like you wasted your money with this purchase. I believe I got the 60ml size for under 10,000 won during a sale, so I'd recommend keeping an eye out for discounts when purchasing this product.
Cons👎 Disappointing aspects - Sticky residue First of all, while this serum has the advantage of a plump and bouncy feel, it tends to leave a sticky residue. Applying makeup right after using it is a bit difficult, so I only use it as part of my nighttime routine. When I use this serum at night and then apply a rich replenishing cream and wake up, the residue from both the serum and cream is extremely noticeable.
TipApply the product by gently massaging it along the grain of the skin to ensure proper absorption! If you're using a device, a wider device would be more comfortable than a thinner one. (However, since the formula has a certain viscosity, I would most recommend using your hands) As for the Green Tomato Ampoule from the Ingredient Editor, I'll be sure to review and compare it soon.
