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.

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.
ConsAfter 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!
TipI 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!

I have extremely oily (combination dehydrated) skin with prominent pores in the T-zone. 1. Ingredients I'm very pleased that this ampoule contains no harmful ingredients. 2. Zero Irritation After clearing my pores with an extractor, I applied the ampoule. Thanks to its excellent ingredients, I felt no burning or irritation on my skin. 3. Astringent and Soothing Effects I applied it during my nighttime skincare routine and compared before and after photos. Overall, I could see that my prominent pores were significantly soothed and tightened! I was also satisfied with how it seemed to completely calm any redness. 4. Application The texture isn't sticky or prone to pilling. Instead, it has a smooth, clear consistency that's perfect for applying during the essence step.
Cons1. Lacks Hydration I've tried quite a few pore ampoules, and like most of them, this one doesn't provide deep hydration. I think this is unavoidable, unfortunately. 2. Pore Minimizing Effect is Lacking I couldn't really feel any powerful pore-tightening effect. However, I believe consistent use will likely show clear results!

Gentle ingredients with no allergens 2. Unscented, which keeps it clean and fresh 3. Runny texture makes it easy to apply and absorb 4. Visibly reduces pores even with short-term use
Cons1. Hydration level is on the lower side 2. Experienced some minor blemishes during use (reason for 3-star rating) * To confirm if the blemishes were caused by this product, I plan to let my skin recover and then reapply. Will update the review later.

I used this product for about 10 days, mostly at night before bed. I applied it after toner, and then either left it alone or followed up with a moisturizer. For dry environments or dry skin types, I'd recommend applying a cream after this serum. The plastic bottle with a dropper is lightweight, which I appreciated. There was a faint herbal scent, but it wasn't noticeable after application. I didn't experience any irritation or breakouts while using it. Right after applying, it felt a bit sticky, but it absorbed within 2-3 minutes, leaving no residue. In a short time, I felt like my sebum production decreased, but I'd need to use it longer to make a final assessment. The Retinue store on Naver sells the 30ml size for 38,000 won regular price, but it's currently on sale for 30,400 won.
ConsThere's a slight stickiness, but if you let it absorb fully before applying your next skincare step, it should be fine.

As an ampoule that's been clinically proven for five different pore-related benefits, I had high expectations when using it. I appreciated that it doesn't have any noticeable scent. It's also great that I didn't experience any blemishes after use. Being a slightly acidic ampoule that considers skin pH, it definitely didn't cause any irritation. While I'll need to use it longer to fully assess its effects on reducing pore depth and sebum backflow, I'm impressed with how it feels on my skin. I think I'll be able to consistently use up the whole bottle for my skincare routine.
ConsThe hydration level when used alone is slightly disappointing.

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.ProsQuick review: Not bad at all! Texture: It's quite runny. If you drop it, it'll flow downwards! Scent: I found it almost fragrance-free. Maybe a slight herbal scent? Ingredients: So gentle, I didn't get a single blemish!!! Lately, I've been a bit wary of changing serums, even with mild ingredients, but I'm satisfied that this didn't cause any breakouts! User experience: I don't have strong preferences about texture, so I focused on how it affected my pores. It seems to help with overall skin texture, and when applying, you get an instant feeling of pores being filled. I'm not sure about long-term pore reduction effects yet! But what I love most is that it's gentle and doesn't cause blemishes. I don't have extremely large pores, so the effects might seem less noticeable for me! If you have slightly enlarged pores, you might feel the filling effect more. Since I have very dry skin, I layered it with another serum! It blends well with other products!
ConsGiven that it's called a 'pore ampoule', I had higher expectations, but the effects aren't as dramatic as I hoped, which is a bit disappointing! It seems to work a little when applying, so I'll keep using it to see if there are more long-term benefits.
TipSince it's a bit drying for me, I apply it together with another serum!

Irritation level: Despite my T-zone being oily and susceptible to acne when exposed to rich products, this one felt comfortable without any heaviness or blemish occurrence. I was satisfied that it didn't irritate my sensitive skin or cause any breakouts. 2. Sebum control: As other Hwahae Testers mentioned, it seems to work by drawing out excess oil through the pores. Wiping this away and continuing use should show long-term benefits for sebum production and pore appearance.
ConsIt doesn't directly tighten pores or provide an immediate firming effect. Instead, as described, it works by regulating oil to inhibit sebum production. Those hoping for instant results on enlarged pores might not be satisfied. 3. Oil and moisture balance: The texture is firm without being oily, but it doesn't particularly add hydration either. You'll need to use it alongside your regular skincare routine. As someone with oily, blemish-prone skin, I found it satisfactory, but those with dry skin might find it lacking in moisture.
TipTip: The product instructions suggest frequent application. When I applied it several times throughout the day as I remembered, I noticed a significant amount of oil being drawn out through my pores.

As summer approached, I was always worried about excess sebum around my nose. Even with cleansing oils, it would be the same the next day. But this product definitely seems to help! It's great for managing oil production. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin and absorbs well too.
ConsIt would be even better if it didn't contain colorants. I'd also prefer a lighter texture.

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.ProsAs someone with sensitive and oily skin, I usually break out easily if there's even a slight irritation or pore-clogging ingredient. However, I didn't experience any blemishes with this! It also felt gentle without any irritation, so I think it's a product that can be used safely on sensitive skin.
ConsI was looking for a pore care product when I won this from The Hwahae Testers, thinking I'd repurchase if I liked it. To be honest, I'm not sure about its effectiveness on pores. It might be because I haven't used it for long... I'm deliberately writing this review on the last day after using it for two weeks, and I don't think I'll repurchase it.
