Application: The lightweight formula is easy to dispense with the dropper. It glides on smoothly without any stickiness, leaving a fresh finish. When applied, it creates a 'tightening' sensation, almost like a coating that smooths out your skin texture. Absorption: It absorbs quickly when spread thinly, maintaining hydration without any deep dryness. I love how long-lasting the moisturizing effect is. After absorption, it doesn't sit on top of the skin and plays well with other products (creams, makeup). Recommended for: Dry/Sensitive skin: Gentle ingredients (peptides, vegan collagen) make it suitable for sensitive skin without irritation. Combination skin: A small amount keeps skin hydrated, making it perfect as a daily serum!
ConsTexture: If you have oily skin, it might feel like it's sitting on top of your skin. This can cause your makeup to pill if used before foundation (though it should be fine for night care). While the 'tightening' effect is nice, it might feel a bit heavy if you layer it on. Blemishes: For very oily or acne-prone skin, the PHA ingredient might cause irritation (I got some small bumps in my T-zone). The pore-minimizing effect isn't as dramatic as you might expect from a single ingredient. Not recommended if: You use multiple skincare steps before makeup (toner, ampoule, cream), as it may cause pilling. It's better suited for evening routines. If you have oily skin, the film-forming property might feel greasy and uncomfortable.
TipAfter a sheet mask: Dry and combination skin types will notice much better absorption! Before makeup: Allow at least 10 minutes for absorption to reduce pilling. For dehydrated oily skin: Try combining this serum with a gel cream!

I'm so pleased with it! It's not sticky at all, and even though I usually dislike putting things on my face, this absorbs so lightly that I've continued using it. It's been a great experience!
ConsI bought this after hearing it was for pore care, but I'm a bit disappointed as I don't feel it's been particularly effective.

It's truly a skin-loving product. However, I'm not sure about its effects on pores. I don't reach for it often, so I use it only occasionally, which might be why I haven't noticed any dramatic results. There's some hype around it, but overall it's a pretty decent product.
ConsI have combination dehydrated skin, and without knowing better, I applied it in long strokes once on my forehead, then again on my left cheek, and once more on my right cheek. Big mistake - my face turned into an oil slick! It's a bit disappointing. But since it does make your skin feel bouncy even with a small amount, let's stick to using just a little bit.
TipPlease don't apply too much if you have oily skin. I learned the hard way that using too much can make your skin peel off. I wish I hadn't found out, but when I over-applied, my face became incredibly greasy. Use only tiny amounts, okay?

The small size and affordable price caught my eye, so I decided to give it a try. I used it from April 28th to May 25th, about a month, applying it morning and night. I tried to squeeze the dropper as much as possible each time, though it never quite reached the very bottom. Here's what I liked: * Absorbs well Using just one dropper-full, I could easily spread it across my forehead and both cheeks. It has a great texture - not too slippery, but not too thick either. * Perfect for skincare explorers Calling all skincare enthusiasts! While the bottle may be smaller than some others, it packs a punch. The price point makes it easy to try without breaking the bank. * Travel-friendly Though I haven't taken it on trips myself, the compact size seems perfect for travel. * Smooth complexion After about three days of use, I noticed my skin felt incredibly smooth. Especially in the mornings after cleansing, my bare skin had a silky texture. It reminded me of how my skin feels after using a gentle exfoliator following a low pH cleanser.
Cons* Sticky texture Some might describe it as "bouncy," but as someone who absolutely hates stickiness, I found the texture unbearable until it fully absorbed. It's so tacky that you have to be extra careful to keep your hair from sticking to your face. * Fragile packaging I accidentally dropped the bottle in the bathroom, and the dropper broke immediately. Luckily, I had already finished the product - if it had happened mid-use, I would have been devastated. While I've marked this as "recommended" since there are only two options, I think the pros and cons are quite distinct. If it were up to me, I'd suggest trying it yourself to see how you feel.
TipRemember to patch test any new skincare product, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergic reactions. Results may vary depending on your skin type and concerns.

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 absorbs is quite firm, feeling very tight when applied. The absorption rate is neither bad nor great, just average. If you apply it inconsistently, you might not see results, but with regular use, you'll definitely notice a difference in your skin. When applied after cleaning out blackheads, whiteheads, or pores, it helps fill in those areas. However, if you have larger pores, it might be best to use this alongside other products. After applying it before bed, you wake up with silky smooth skin. I've already gone through two tubes!
ConsThe scent is a bit odd. If you're not particularly sensitive to smells, it shouldn't be a problem. Other than this, there aren't really any drawbacks.

It was great to apply before makeup.
ConsWith the dropper-type bottle, it's hard to get the last bit out. It's easier to just remove the dropper entirely to use up the remaining product.

When applied, it makes your skin feel incredibly firm and supple! Even with my super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation whatsoever.
ConsI didn't see significant results in terms of pore reduction. Initially, there seemed to be some effect, but with consistent use, I noticed no further changes.
TipApply morning and evening after cleansing your face!

At first, it glides on smoothly, and then it finishes by giving you that perfect, bouncy rice cake skin. I love it so much I'm on my 5th bottle!
ConsI'm not sure about its pore-minimizing effects. If you don't like a sticky, tacky finish, I wouldn't recommend it.
TipIt's amazing as a base before makeup! Your makeup will sit beautifully on top of this.

The way it tightens the skin is truly amazing!
ConsWhile I don't typically have large pores, I didn't feel the effects were as significant as the name 'Closer Serum' would suggest. I couldn't really notice any reduction in pore size.
