It's lightweight and leaves skin feeling fresh, which I love. I didn't notice at first, but after using it for over a month, my skin texture and blemishes have significantly improved. I'm especially thrilled with how smooth my nose has become - it's incredibly satisfying!
ConsDuring winter, the hydration level feels a bit lacking, so I find myself using it alongside a richer moisturizer.

ConsThe hydration level was a bit disappointing! I didn't get that super moisturizing feeling I was hoping for.

Plus, the bottle is so pretty!
ConsIt's on the pricey side, and I'm not sure if I've noticed a dramatic reduction in my pores. But I'm continuing to use it faithfully, believing it'll improve with consistent use!

Although it's an ampoule, it has a runny texture. It's slightly viscous, like nasal mucus~ My skin is normal combination type, and as I'm getting older, it's becoming drier. This product is perfectly light and moisturizing, making it ideal for summer. It's called 'pore refining', and whether it's due to that or not, my skin looks great! Even though it's almost that time of the month, I'm not breaking out... Is this a placebo effect? Anyway, I'm completely satisfied and will definitely repurchase!
ConsI've used over a third of the bottle in less than two weeks since purchasing... Please release a larger size!

The absorption is great and it feels light on the skin. Unlike some pore products that can cause dead skin cells to flake, this one is genuinely gentle and non-irritating. The subtle fragrance makes it perfect for daily use. It's particularly effective after cleansing and removing excess sebum, especially for those with oily T-zones. While it doesn't dramatically shrink pores, there's a noticeable difference when used consistently. It seems to maintain pore size and prevent them from enlarging.
ConsBecause it's so light and gentle on the skin, I tend to use more than I realize. I wish there were more discount events for this product!
TipThis would be great as an after-care product following a nose strip or sebum removal. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to manage their pores but finds daily use of stronger products too harsh on their skin.

Cons➖ The selling price is a bit high. ➖ The results are somewhat disappointing considering the price. ➖ For dry skin, it can be drying, so you need to use it with other products.
TipUse this along with your existing pore-improving ampoule for better results than using it alone. (I use it with another brand's green ampoule, and the effect is much better.) Personally, I find it works best when applied first, right after cleansing.

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.ProsHere's my review after using the product for just under two weeks. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I really appreciated how lightweight and easily absorbed this formula is. Even when I used it while my skin barrier was compromised due to using another product incorrectly, I didn't experience any irritation or tingling sensation. Some serums can feel quite harsh, but the Rootree Mobiang Ampoule was gentle on my skin! In my evening routine, I applied it before my emulsion and cream. It absorbed quickly, and I could immediately feel my pores tightening, especially in areas where they tend to be more noticeable. I particularly loved using it in my morning routine before makeup. After applying my toner, the Rootree ampoule, and then emulsion, my makeup went on even better than usual! I've read that using a pore-focused serum is actually better for pore health and makeup application than using a pore primer. Primers can potentially clog pores and make them appear larger over time, which is why many beauty salons prefer using pore serums to tighten pores before applying base makeup. I definitely noticed that my makeup applied more smoothly and my pores were less visible when I used this serum beforehand. Highly recommend using it as a pre-makeup step!
ConsWhile I didn't experience any skin irritation and loved the lightweight texture due to my oily skin type, I can see how this might not be ideal for those with extremely dry skin or those looking for intense hydration from their serum.
TipAs I mentioned above, for the health of your pores, I recommend trying the Rootree Mobiang Ampoule instead of a pore primer!

While it wasn't quite enough for my severely dry skin during winter and seasonal changes, it's perfect for summer when my skin tends to get oily. It absorbs quickly, which I found beneficial for mild deep dryness and skin texture, rather than intense hydration. Both my oily-skinned family member and I, with my dry skin, were satisfied with it as a summer option. Scent: The fragrance is subtle. It's so light that I can't quite pinpoint what it is, but it's not off-putting at all. It's a scent that shouldn't polarize anyone. Texture: It's quite fluid for an ampoule, with a consistency between an essence and a serum. Definitely not runny like mucus, but light and fluid like a serum that absorbs quickly into the skin. Effectiveness: I noticed more improvement in skin texture than pore size. As someone with large pores, I haven't seen significant results yet, so I'll need to use it longer to fully assess its effectiveness. Ingredients: I appreciated the absence of harmful ingredients, and it suited my skin well. As someone prone to blemishes, this kind of gentle formulation is a big plus for me.
ConsWhile it's good for casual use in summer, there are many affordable and effective products out there. It would be more appealing if it were on sale.

It also has great hydration, which I really appreciated. The fragrance is almost non-existent, so I think it would be suitable for anyone to use!
ConsI'll need to keep using it to see if it has any effect on my pores!
