It's mild and moisturizing, giving you a hydrating feel. The price is also really cheap for an ampoule, so I'm actually using my fourth bottle!
ConsHwahae Trial Reviewers may find the ampoule to be a sticky situation, as it could potentially feel oily for those with dry skin.

This product had an immediate pore-minimizing effect. On days when I was particularly self-conscious about enlarged pores, I would apply it just once before bed, and my skin would be left smooth and pore-free the next morning. I would recommend this to anyone looking for fast-acting pore reduction. 2. I also felt it had a soothing effect on my skin. Even though it's not a dedicated calming serum, I noticed my blemishes seemed to calm down after using it. 3. Considering the product quality, I think it's quite affordable, so I'd recommend this serum to anyone dealing with pore concerns.
ConsSince I have a sensitive skin, I prefer skincare products with a light texture, but I felt that the products were a bit heavy and thick for me. After applying and waking up, my face still felt sticky and oily. So I would not recommend this to those with extremely oily skin or those who prefer a lightweight skincare routine. The product has a runny, watery texture.

After using the pore refiner, using this ampoule seemed to enhance the effects even more! I can visibly see my pores on my nose shrinking dramatically!! The ampoule has a texture that is not too viscous, more like a slightly clear runny nose - so the application is very smooth. It also absorbs quickly.
ConsRegardless, it seems that the esteemed individuals tend to have a bit of oiliness come up the day after using it. However, I don't think there were any other disappointing aspects!

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 it since last July, but not consistently - only on days when I needed pore tightening. 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!☺️

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.ProsThe pore serum was purchased from Abeille (around 5,800 won) after seeing some interesting reviews about its effectiveness on uneven skin texture. Isn't 5,800 won, including shipping, too cheap for a serum? It passes the cost-effectiveness test, and the application is smooth like other serums. There is some oiliness, as it starts off moisturizing but the oil quickly surfaces. This is a Hwahae product, and the reason I bought it was for the uneven skin texture, as the reviews suggested it might be effective, and the low price made it an easy purchase. However, I'm not sure about the effectiveness, as I didn't use it consistently due to the oiliness, which made me not want to apply it often. Overall: - Cost-effectiveness: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 (5,800 won on Abeille) - Application: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 (applies smoothly) - Oiliness: ⭐️/5 (oil surfaces quickly) - Uneven skin texture: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 (unsure due to inconsistent use) - Makeup compatibility: ⭐️⭐️/5 (not good for before makeup)
ConsThe product was difficult to apply due to its oiliness, and I'm not sure if it has been effective as I haven't used it consistently on the uneven skin texture or pores.

I used it comfortably without any special irritation and the scent did not bother me either! The price is not too high for a serum, so it seems to be a good daily pore management item!
ConsHowever, as a dry skin type, I did feel some oiliness..!ㅠㅠ There was also a slight stickiness.. So I mainly applied it sparingly as a night care product.

The texture is like clear mucus, and it seems to have good absorption, but it might feel a bit sticky. Since I have dry skin, I apply it before makeup to make my skin more supple.
ConsHwahae Trial Reviewers may have a bit of an oily complexion, so please keep that in mind!
TipApplying it before makeup makes the skin feel nice and taut!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsThis is a product I have been using continuously for almost a year since February of last year. One of my biggest skin concerns is pores, which has been a source of great stress for me. However, after hearing good reviews about this product, I immediately purchased and tried it. The texture was very lightweight and slightly thick, with a smooth and dense feel during application and absorption. Even though my skin is quite sensitive, I found it to be very gentle. After using it for about two weeks, I could clearly see a reduction in the appearance of my pores. Moreover, I've found that using this serum before makeup application makes my makeup apply and wear much better. This product, which I initially only used at night, has now become an essential part of my skincare routine that I can't imagine living without. The price is also quite affordable, so I would recommend giving it a try.
ConsThe product felt a bit more sticky and tacky than the desired firm, dense texture, and I also perceived a slight oiliness to it.
TipA refreshing toner and a cream like a soothing cream with little or no oil content would be a perfect match.

ConsAfter application, it feels greasy, heavy, and unpleasant. If someone with oily skin uses it, it will likely become an oily mess.
