  Pros

  I saw great results for uneven texture and pores, and it had a good balance of oil and moisture which was perfect for my dry skin!!! It absorbs well into the skin, but if you apply too much, it can pill. So use a thin layer... just the right amount. I didn't experience any blemishes, so I think it's a good product.

  Cons

  While it works well for dry skin like mine, I think it might be too rich for others!!

  Tip

  This product seems to be particularly beneficial for those with dry skin types, offering a good balance of hydration. However, it's important to note that the richness of the formula may not suit everyone, especially those with oilier skin types. The key is to apply it sparingly to avoid any pilling issues.

  Pros

  -> It's affordable With the current discount, it's only around $6-7, right? The ingredients seem good, and for an ampoule or skincare product, it's really, really cheap.

  Cons

  -> It's irritating... It stings and keeps causing bumps to appear on my skin. I couldn't even use half of it before I had to throw it away. -> I can't see any effects Pores getting smaller? Can't tell. Skin becoming softer? Can't tell. Skin improving...? I can't tell at all. -> The finish is terrible It's slippery, sticky, and oily all at once - the worst combination.

  Pros

  First off, this is definitely one of those products that gives you great value for your money. It's fragrance-free and non-irritating, so I found it really comfortable to use.

  Cons

  The absorption is a bit slow, and it feels slightly rich on the skin. As for pore-minimizing effects, I think you need to use it for a longer period to really notice the results.

  Pros

  First off, applying this before makeup really helps your look stay put all day. It's gentle and hydrating, giving you that much-needed moisture boost. The price is incredibly reasonable for an ampoule, which is why I'm already on my fourth bottle!

  Cons

  For those with oily skin, this ampoule might feel a bit sticky and could potentially make your skin feel greasy.

  Pros

  I've been consistently using this ampoule for a year now! I found it particularly effective when applied after using a sebum softener. The pores on my nose have visibly reduced - it's quite noticeable! Among ampoules, its texture isn't highly viscous, more like a clear, runny consistency. This makes it absorb well into the skin. It also absorbs quickly, which is great.

  Cons

  Those with oily skin might notice a bit more oil production the day after use, unfortunately. Other than that, I can't think of any downsides!

  Pros

  I've been using this since last July, though not consistently - only on days when I felt I needed some pore tightening. Perhaps that's why I haven't noticed any significant effects. I don't see much improvement in pore size or skin texture. The formula has a viscous consistency, leaving a mix of stickiness and slipperiness. However, it applies beautifully and moisturizes well. After absorption, my skin feels firm and makeup goes on smoothly. I think this would work well for those with dry skin.

  Cons

  It doesn't absorb quickly and leaves a slippery, sticky residue. Those with oily skin might find it makes their face look shiny, and the slow absorption could lead to pilling. Personally, I even experienced some blemishes from it, which is why I didn't reach for it often. I wouldn't recommend this for people who dislike residue, those who don't like oily textures, or individuals with oily skin!

  Tip

  The high oil content seems to disrupt the oil and moisture balance of the skin. To counter this, I place oil blotting paper on my face after application. This helps prevent blemishes. On days when I didn't use blotting paper, I noticed some minor breakouts. I recommend using it in conjunction with oil blotting papers!

  Pros

  I bought this pore serum from Ably after seeing intriguing reviews about its effectiveness on uneven skin texture (around 5,800 won). Isn't that incredibly cheap for a serum, including shipping? First off, it's definitely a budget-friendly win. The absorption is smooth and gentle, just like other serums. It does have some richness to it. Initially, it feels hydrating, but the oiliness surfaces quickly - though this can vary person to person. To be honest, I bought this mainly for texture issues, and the reviews suggested mixed results, so I thought I'd give it a shot at that price. However, I'm not sure about its effectiveness... I didn't use it consistently due to the oiliness, which might have affected the results. It didn't seem to make much difference. Summary: - Value for money: 5/5 (5,800 won on Ably) - Absorption: 5/5 (applies smoothly) - Oiliness: 1/5 (feels quite rich) - Texture improvement: 3/5 (unsure due to inconsistent use) - Makeup compatibility: 2/5 (not recommended before makeup)

  Cons

  The oiliness made me reluctant to use this product regularly, so I'm unsure about its effectiveness on skin texture or pores due to inconsistent use.

  Pros

  I have extremely oily, acne-prone skin! This serum didn't cause any particular irritation, and I didn't find the scent bothersome, so I used it without any issues. For a serum, it's not overly expensive, making it a decent option for daily pore care!

  Cons

  However, as someone with oily skin, I could feel the rich texture... There was also a slight stickiness. Because of this, I mainly used it as part of my night care routine, applying small amounts.

  Pros

  I saw this on Instagram and decided to give it a try since it was so affordable. You know, taking a chance! The texture when applying is like clear mucus, and it seems to absorb well, making the skin feel firm. However, some might find it a tad sticky! As I have dry skin, I use this before makeup to give my skin that nice, plump feeling!

  Cons

  Those with oily skin might want to note that it could feel a bit rich.

  Tip

  It's great to use before makeup as it makes your skin feel firm and supple!
