Plus, it's so lightweight that my makeup doesn't pill!
ConsBecause 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.

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.
ConsAreas 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.
TipInstead 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.

As someone with oily skin, the excessive sebum production due to summer has really stretched out my pores. So, I focused my evaluation on this product's pore-tightening and sebum control functions. @Pore Tightening Perhaps due to the short period of use, I haven't seen significant results yet. I'll update this aspect after using the entire bottle. @Sebum Control The formula is perfect for the season - it doesn't feel oily at all and only provides hydration. Even when used in the morning before makeup, it leaves the skin feeling firm without any greasy residue. It strikes the ideal oil-moisture balance for oily skin types. In my evening skincare routine, I found it paired perfectly with a moisturizer to fill in any gaps. Highly recommended for oily skin in summer! @Application & Scent Imagine a water-like consistency with almost no viscosity. It spreads smoothly on the skin without any stickiness. The scent is very mild and refreshing, unlikely to bother anyone. Overall, it seems to hit the mark, but for sebum control and pore improvement, a longer period of use might be necessary.
ConsThose with dry skin might find the lack of oil content actually strips their skin of moisture. Also, don't expect immediate improvements in skin texture and sebum production like you might get from AHA/BHA products.
TipFor nighttime care, using this alongside a slightly richer moisturizer seems to strike the perfect oil-moisture balance!

ConsDespite using it diligently every day, I didn't really feel like it made much difference in controlling my sebum.

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.ProsThis ampoule feels more like a daily pore care product rather than a special intensive treatment. It's the kind of product you use consistently for pore management, rather than something you apply with high expectations of instant pore reduction. The scent isn't overpowering, and the formula is very lightweight, making it easy to absorb. I found it to be incredibly gentle - I could use it daily without any skin irritation or breakouts. As for its effectiveness in pore care: I think it works quite well! While I'm not sure if it exactly matches the claim of 'shortening' pores, I'll describe what I experienced. Rather than feeling like the actual size of my pores decreased, I noticed that the appearance of congested, noticeable pores was reduced. You know how deep pores can look shadowy or have oxidized sebum that appears as blackheads, making them more visible? I definitely found that my pores became less noticeable to the eye. However, I wouldn't set high expectations for sebum control with this product.
ConsSince this ampoule primarily focuses on 'shortening' pores, I had hoped that this might lead to a reduction in sebum production. However, during my two weeks of use, I didn't notice any improvement in oil control. It seems that to effectively manage sebum production, you'd need to incorporate additional steps to balance oil and moisture levels. (Given its light texture, those with combination dehydrated skin should definitely include separate hydrating and moisturizing steps alongside this product.)
TipIn the before and after photos, please note that the reduction in blemishes is due to other soothing products I used and natural healing over time. Disregard the reduction in redness and focus only on the areas I've circled to see the changes from this product.

The product has a viscous and rich texture. It worked well for my dry skin without feeling dehydrating, and effectively addressed deep dryness. The scent is almost fragrance-free. 2. My face often gets oily after skincare, but I noticed less shine after using this product followed by a moisturizer. I think it's great to use before makeup application. 3. As someone with super sensitive skin, I found this product to be gentle.
Cons1. While it maintained good hydration, I didn't notice any reduction in sebum or pore-minimizing effects. 2. The price is a bit steep for the amount you get. There are many similar products on the market with comparable effects, so I'm not sure if I'd purchase this again without a sale. While I'm satisfied with the product's performance, the price point is disappointing.
TipI recommend using this with a moisturizer that's low in oil content! The product itself doesn't have a particularly hydrating formula.

It's so convenient, especially for serums where you usually have to dispense onto your hands first. This way, less product gets absorbed by your hands, so you end up using more on your face. Unlike runny formulas that are hard to control, this one's just right. And the absorption? It sinks in within 30 seconds, tops. Even when applied generously, it feels fresh without any stickiness. For a product targeting pore reduction, it's surprisingly gentle, so it's unlikely to cause blemishes for most people.
ConsI was so excited about improving my pores that I used this religiously until the very end. I tried every possible combination - adding it to my regular routine, using it with just toner, pairing it with a moisturizer, using it alone, mixing it with other soothing serums, you name it. But sadly, it didn't control my sebum at all. I could overlook the lack of visible pore improvement in two weeks, but sebum control usually shows immediate results. For me, there was none. When I used only this product overnight, my skin's oil-moisture balance went haywire, and I woke up with my face literally beading with oil like droplets of water.
TipNo matter how I tried to incorporate it, I just couldn't make this product work for my skin.

The texture has a slight viscosity, so you can use a small amount before makeup. It doesn't feel too sticky or cause pilling. Hydration: As it's a slightly viscous ampoule, it feels firm and moisturizing when applied. It's not a water-based formula, so it doesn't dry out quickly. Irritation: Despite having sensitive skin, the ingredients are gentle, so I could use it without worry. There was no stinging or redness when used, and it was great for hydration without any issues. Effectiveness: It was great for replenishing moisture and smoothing skin texture after cleansing. After applying the ampoule, there was no excess sebum production. It seems to perform its role as an ampoule well. I'm not sure about sebum reduction or pore tightening yet - I'll need to use it more to tell. Repurchase intention: It's not heavy even in summer, so it's good as an ampoule after toner. However, the price is a bit steep for the amount... I might repurchase if it goes on sale~
ConsMaybe because I haven't used it for long, I'm not sure about the sebum reduction and pore-tightening effects yet. If it shows these effects with consistent use, that's one thing, but if it's just for hydration, the price might be a bit burdensome.

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 ingredients are gentle! As someone with sensitive skin who can't use just anything, this feels mild and didn't cause any blemishes or redness issues! The texture isn't super light, but rather slightly slick without feeling greasy. I think it would work well for oily, dry, or combination dehydrated skin! I used this alone under makeup and it didn't cause any pilling or problems!
ConsWhile I know it's supposed to improve skin texture, I didn't really notice any actual effects. It felt a bit lacking in hydration, perhaps due to its slick texture, which was disappointing. I was hoping for the advertised sebum control since I struggle with oiliness in summer, but I didn't notice that effect. It just felt average overall, which was a letdown.
TipThose with oily skin might find it a bit uncomfortable if applied in multiple layers, as it can feel slick. I'd recommend it more for those with dry skin!
