PORE SHOOTER AMPOULE

Not Effective for Pore Care

Doesn't Remove Sebum

Disrupts Oil-Moisture Balance

Too Watery

Not Effective for Inner Dryness

Lacks Cooling Effect

Doesn't Increase Elasticity

Lightweight

Not Irritating

Doesn't Cause Breakouts

Not Sticky

Not Oily

Easily Absorbed

Moisturizing

The only slight disappointment might be the amount? Overall, I'm satisfied with the formula, so I just wish it came in a larger size.

I loved how moisturizing, lightweight, and oil-free it was. I usually dislike products that make my skin greasy or messy when applying makeup, but this one doesn't do that at all. It seems perfect for use these days.

포어슈터 앰플

Honestly, I'm not sure if this small amount justifies the price. I'd recommend waiting for a sale to purchase it.

I bought this because it's supposed to control sebum. While I can't say it dramatically improved my skin, it's gentle enough for my sensitive skin. I definitely notice a difference in my skin's condition when I use it versus when I don't.

Because it's lightweight, it lacks hydration. I couldn't feel any reduction in sebum production. Naturally, I didn't notice any changes in my pores either.

It seems gentle since I didn't experience any blemishes while using it. Plus, it's so lightweight that my makeup doesn't pill!

Due to the initial surface-sitting feeling, I applied it in two thin layers. Even with a small amount, the smooth and thin texture spreads easily.
As it settles into a soft finish over time, it takes sufficient time to complete the basic skincare routine.

As time went on, when faced with the humid summer air,
I felt like it actually increased oiliness.
After applying it at night and waking up, oil greets you in the morning;
This aspect made me hesitant to use it during the summer months.

Scent, Color, and Texture:
It's a fragrance-free, clear light green ampoule.
I liked that it's unscented, so it won't clash with personal preferences.
The consistency is like thin mucus, making it easy to spread.

Absorption:
At first, it feels like it's sitting on the surface, but gently patting it with your fingers helps it absorb deeply into the skin.
I could even feel a slight cooling effect.

Stickiness:
Initially, I thought it might finish sticky,
but personally, I felt it absorbed into the skin with a firming effect, as if it was tightening my pores.

Finish:
While there's some stickiness left, it also leaves a slight hydrated feeling.
As time passes, it settles into a smooth finish.

I love how well it evens out my skin texture.

Given it's summer and I've developed a mild case of contact dermatitis, I initially experienced some blemishes when I first applied it. So I stopped using it, but when I tried again after my skin improved, it was fine. It doesn't have a soothing effect, so you might need to be careful if your skin is sensitive or not in good condition. However, that's probably because my skin is super sensitive. For normal skin types, it should be okay.

- Texture:
It has a slightly viscous consistency. When dropped on the back of your hand, it slowly trickles down. You don't feel any oiliness.

- Absorption:
It's packed with hydration. When you apply and massage it in, it absorbs quickly. After absorption, it doesn't feel sticky.

- Feel on skin:
After it's absorbed, your skin feels somewhat refreshed and refined. It seems to smooth out your skin texture, giving a sleek feeling.

Pore management: I think I'll need to use it a bit longer to see if it has any effect on my pores. In my opinion, pore care is something that requires consistent, long-term management. Blemishes: I usually get small pimples regardless of the season, and this product didn't cause any sudden breakouts! However, it doesn't seem to have much effect on existing blemishes.

Texture: It applies with a moisturizing feel at first. As time passes and it absorbs, it becomes slightly firmer and feels refreshing! Even with my very oily skin, it still felt fresh 2-3 hours after application. Sebum control: I only used it for night care, but when I woke up, I noticed that my skin was less oily than before! It felt like about a 60% reduction in oiliness compared to usual.

I found it challenging to use this daily. Instead, what worked better for me was mixing it with purified water, the Pore Shooter Ampoule, and aloe vera. I'd soak several cotton pads in this mixture, refrigerate them, and use them as a mask treatment!

After using it for about a week, I noticed a few blemishes starting to appear.

For those with dry skin, I'd recommend applying a light serum after this product for better results!

I have combination dehydrated skin that's super sensitive.

Lately, I've noticed my pores seem to be getting larger, so I decided to give this a try.

The product feels lightweight, making it great for summer use.

Because of my sensitive skin, I usually can't use these types of functional products, but this one is gentle enough that it worked well for me - one of the few that has!

There wasn't any noticeable scent.

There's nothing particularly bad!
If I had to nitpick, the price is a bit high for the amount you get.
And the shipping box... it's way too big... Excessive packaging... It's really too much.. That's all! Otherwise, it's great!

The Hwahae Testers Review

Current skin condition:
Sensitive + oily due to summer

Texture: It's a runny consistency, but not quite watery. Think of it as your typical ampoule concentration.

Scent: Fragrance-free. This is truly amazing!

Application: For oily skin, it's just right! It adheres well to the skin, though there's a slight stickiness. If you have dry skin, you might want to follow up with a hydrating product right after.

Any skin irritation?
- No, none at all.
Really, none?
- Nope, absolutely none.
Oh, but maybe there was?
- No, seriously, there wasn't any.
I was so surprised because I was prepared for at least one small blemish, but there was genuinely no skin irritation! I'm extremely satisfied!!

So, what about the results?
- Still... not sure. This is a 2-week review, so it's too short to see significant effects... I'm hoping for even subtle changes.

Since you can't really expect much in terms of moisturizing power, choose a product that provides more hydration to use before this serum!

While I appreciate the light texture, it seems a bit lacking in terms of moisture. Perhaps that's because it's targeted at pore care?

There's no stickiness, but when I only use two products, it feels like even a slight breeze could make it disappear quickly.

This is a review from The Hwahae Testers!

The product feels incredibly light on the skin. It's perfect for those hot summer days when you're sweating a lot, or during the humid rainy season! However, due to its lightweight nature, it's a bit lacking in hydration.

It absorbs well into the skin and there's no sticky feeling at all!

Regarding its effectiveness, I've been using it for two weeks, but... well, I'm not sure about its impact on pore depth or similar issues. I have so many pores and blackheads from my T-zone to the bridge of my nose, it's hard to tell. Interestingly, I feel like it's more effective on my blackheads than my pores... Why is that?

I'm clearly writing a review, but why do I have so many questions? Haha!

Still, I plan to use up the entire bottle without interruption. Whether it helps with pores or blackheads, any improvement would be welcome!

Oh, and the product is quite gentle. No blemishes at all!

Instead of a tip, I'd suggest that those with dry or combination skin use a separate hydrating essence! Since pore essences need additional care to show dramatic effects, I also use a pore aesthetic device simultaneously.

Areas for improvement:

For someone with large pores like me, there wasn't a dramatic effect.
Well, I didn't expect dramatic results from this or other pore serums, but I'm not sure about the sebum control or firmness mentioned in the product description.
It's hard to see results from a pore serum during the trial period, but I couldn't really tell if it improved sebum production. I didn't notice any difference in oil production when I woke up in the morning.

The packaging
It feels like they used somewhat cheap packaging... The cap is a bit stiff to turn, and the dropper doesn't work very well either.

The first photo shows the product on day one of use, while the second photo is from day 7. This is a review from The Hwahae Testers. Although it's not purchased with my own money, I'll share my personal opinion candidly! About my skin: I have oily skin that lacks hydration, with blemishes and super sensitive skin. (By sensitive, I mean skin that's easily irritated by internal and external factors.) I have very large pores that clog easily, so natural oils and ingredients often irritate my skin or block my pores. <This review is from someone who has tried various pore serums>

What I liked:

1. Fragrance-free? 
Lately, strong scents have been giving me slight headaches, so I was really satisfied that this one has barely any fragrance!

2. A texture that oily skin will love
It has a typical essence texture, but it absorbs well... amazing! At night, I skip toner and layer this pore serum twice. The first application feels refreshing, and the second feels like it's replenishing moisture. It's great! The texture was perfect for my oily skin, so I could apply it morning and night without it feeling heavy.

3. Blemishes and skin irritation
I didn't experience any blemishes or skin irritation while using this product.

I wish it had a cooling effect or something like that. I'm not sure about its pore-refining and sebum-reducing effects yet, but I think I might be able to tell if I keep using it!

The ingredients are great, so it didn't cause any blemishes on my sensitive skin! The scent seems to be unscented? The texture has a slight viscosity, but when applied, it feels light like water. It seems to have a lightweight formula perfect for summer use. It absorbs super quickly! I can't really tell yet about its effects on sebum or pores, but my skin texture seems to be improving somehow! I think it's a great serum for light use in summer!
