The absorption does not seem to be very good. The finish is a bit sticky. The effects are that uneven skin texture is greatly reduced and pores are quite minimized. The best thing is that it is very plump, so makeup applies incredibly well - after using this serum, my makeup has never lifted.
ConsIt's disappointing that the finish is sticky, and there's no cap to hold the wand, so the contents are spilling out of the wand, which is quite disappointing.

My facial skin feels more tightened and firm!! I've read some reviews saying it's quite thick, but even though I don't use thick products as a base for my makeup, this product works well - I just apply a small amount, fully absorb it, and then do my makeup, and it makes my makeup apply better~~ At night, I apply a generous amount and sleep, and my face is nicely supple in the morning~!! I bought the 30mL size, but it seems they also offer a larger size. Since everyone's skin type is different, it's best to try the 30mL first and then purchase the larger size if it works well for you~~
ConsThere aren't really any disappointing aspects, but if I had to pick one, it would be that when using the dropper, the serum tends to flow out a bit from the side.

After applying it, the skin feels much smoother, and makeup applies better. With its lightweight formula, it absorbs quickly and leaves a refreshing, non-greasy finish, making it suitable for combination to oily skin types without any burden. The ingredients are also great. The key ingredients, niacinamide and betaine, help improve skin tone and provide hydration, while being gentle enough for daily serum use.
ConsDespite the good moisturizing properties, it lacks sufficient hydration. At my age, I'm concerned about dehydration, and this product made my face feel a bit tight. Especially in the winter, I definitely need to layer on a cream or additional moisturizing product. The pretty design is nice, but the lid is inconvenient - it doesn't close properly, which makes me worry about the product leaking. I'm a bit uneasy about using it for travel. To be honest, I didn't see any immediate, dramatic changes. My skin texture improved, but the effects on brightening my complexion and fading blemishes were minimal.
TipApply the serum and reapply it once more on dry areas. This will definitely refine the skin texture. As a makeup primer substitute: It absorbs lightly, so applying it before makeup will organize the skin texture and allow the foundation to adhere well. Use with a moisturizing cream: If you feel your skin lacks hydration, be sure to apply a moisturizing cream after the serum.

While it has a thick and sticky finish, it is definitely noticeable that my pores have shrunk, and it's affordable so I use it generously!
ConsThe lack of a cap at the entrance means the dropper can flow out through the entrance, which seems a bit vulnerable in terms of hygiene.

The moisture balance was just right and well-balanced. The formulation had quite a bit of viscosity, which was more than expected. But the moisturizing feeling didn't last very long. It's just good for those with mild oiliness or combination skin. For dry skin, hmm... No trouble with breakouts. No smell (a huge plus).
ConsI had high expectations for this 'closer serum', but it didn't do much for my pores...I'm disappointed that I didn't see any noticeable effects. The packaging is very inconvenient. The dropper tube is too thick compared to the hole, or the hole is too narrow compared to the dropper. So if you're not careful when putting it back in, the dropper can scrape against the opening and cause the serum to leak out the sides. I thought I had found a product with a good price and good functionality, but I'm quite disappointed with this one.

Just give it a try Ollying is even cheaper, I like it
ConsThere's not really anything bad, but if I had to say, the serum does tend to flow out of the container
TipApplying an extra thin layer and layering it on the areas with bumps and milia would be even better

With consistent use, the uneven texture seems to gradually disappear.
ConsThe dropper is smaller than the opening, so serum can sometimes get on the outside of the dropper and drip out.
TipIt's best to apply after removing excess oil.

Sometimes they discount it to 8,000 or 9,000 won, and with this much quantity, the price is truly angelic!
ConsUnlike other ampoules, the cap on top is a bit weak, so it tends to leak out. The chewiness could also be a downside.

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.ProsPore-related serum types generally have a sticky feeling right after application, and there have been times when my face felt sticky even during long outdoor outings. However, in the case of this product, after the initial absorption, there was no discomfort in my daily life, and my boyfriend said that he didn't need to use any other basic skincare products besides this one. Even when I went out with just this product on, my face didn't get oily until I got home, and it didn't dry out. Although I purchased it to reduce my pores, the uneven texture on my face disappeared in less than a week, and I would recommend this to anyone who wants a glowing, firm complexion.
ConsThe cap is missing, so the contents sometimes leak out. Although the advertisement claimed that it significantly reduces pores, I felt that the actual effect on my pores was slightly less than expected.

When I was in middle school, I was greatly stressed by my acne-prone and oily skin, but around high school 2nd year, my skin improved to the point where people would compliment it. However, if I don't properly hydrate my skin and build a solid skincare routine, it can become tight and dry. And pores are still a concern!! I decided to try this product that was recommended for its pore-improving effects. The price is quite affordable compared to other ampoules. The texture is transparent and honey-like, sticky. There's no particular scent. Surprisingly, after applying the ampoule, my skin starts to glow! It's not just a temporary shine from the product sitting on the surface, but my skin looks radiant and smooth even after it's fully absorbed and I go out without makeup. People have commented that my skin looks luminous. I didn't have high expectations for visible pore improvements from a cosmetic product, but I was pleasantly surprised that this ampoule did make a noticeable difference in my pores. I think it's an excellent product if it can produce such visible effects.
ConsFor oily skin, especially in the summer, I wouldn't recommend this. The texture is sticky and heavy. I think those with oily skin would find it suffocating. Even in the morning, I had a hard time using it, so I can imagine it would be even more difficult for those with true oily skin. There's no sense of the skin being dried out, but rather a feeling of the surface being coated. When using the dropper, the product on the side of the dropper tends to drip out of the bottle.
TipIt's best to use a toner pad to smooth the skin first, then layer the ampoule 2-3 times, allowing it to fully absorb before applying a cream. By applying the ampoule in multiple thin layers, you can address dryness, radiance, and pores all at once!
