It effectively controls excess sebum, which is perfect for days when I'm not using mineral sunscreen or Cezanne Mebae, just doing my skincare routine. The absorbs well and a little goes a long way. The pointed nozzle makes it easy to control the amount and apply to specific areas. It's also suitable for combination dehydrated skin as it doesn't leave my face feeling too dry.
ConsThe scent isn't particularly pleasant. Although it dissipates quickly, it's still not enjoyable. While it's effective at controlling excess sebum, it doesn't do much for pore care.

I liked that it didn't cause any blemishes or redness.
ConsI had high hopes, but it didn't live up to the ads where oil disappears after application. I'm someone whose skin gets super oily during school, which stresses me out. I bought this in desperation, like grasping at straws, but nothing changed... My pores are still the same, unfortunately.

While I can't confirm a reduction in facial pore size, I've noticed it helps control oil production, which is something I've always struggled with. I used to go through 3 oil blotting sheets regularly, but after using this product, I don't even carry them anymore. At first, I thought it might be due to cooler temperatures, but I've noticed a clear difference with and without the product. I can't speak to its pore-tightening effects as I'm not an expert and haven't done precise measurements. However, it has helped reduce oiliness and control sebum even after applying sunscreen. The product doesn't leave my skin feeling overly dry after application. It has a fast-absorbing moisturizer texture, so I didn't mind applying a generous amount. Best part: As someone with acne-prone skin, the reduction in sebum has helped alleviate blemishes on my cheeks. I'll continue to use the product and provide ongoing reviews.
ConsIt was difficult to confirm whether it actually helps with pore tightening. While using it in summer might make the effects more noticeable, it was hard to clearly determine its effectiveness as temperatures dropped. (This doesn't mean it didn't help with sebum control.)
TipUnlike sunscreen, which you might apply multiple times over several hours, you only need to apply this once for oil control. So don't overuse it - a little goes a long way. The bottle isn't that big either, so use it sparingly!

Great user experience!
ConsI've only used it for a week, so I can't tell if it really reduces pores and blackheads as claimed with long-term use. I'll need to use it longer to know for sure.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst off, I'm someone whose skin tends to get oily even after applying makeup and finishing with powder. It used to get so bad that by nighttime, my hair would embarrassingly stick to my face. Oil blotting sheets and powder were must-haves in my makeup bag. But since I started using this oil controller, I've definitely noticed a reduction in oiliness. My base makeup lasts much longer, and my hair no longer sticks to my face! The product itself has a nice consistency - not too solid, not too runny, as you can see in the photo. It's about as fluid as a moisturizing emulsion and applies smoothly and easily.
ConsTo be honest, I don't think the value for money is great, considering the regular price is 39,800 won and the sale price is 19,800 won for this amount. The product information claims it has pore-reducing effects, but I'm not sure if it's because I haven't used it long enough, but I haven't really noticed that yet.
TipI apply a thin layer from the T-zone to the butterfly zone where oil tends to build up, then apply my base makeup and finish with powder. With this routine, I don't need any touch-ups throughout the day!

Surprisingly, it really does reduce oil production! Even though I have oily skin that doesn't get very dry in winter, this product noticeably decreased my skin's oiliness! My skin looked great when I used this, followed by a hydrating sunscreen and a matte cushion foundation. It kept my skin balanced - not too dry and not too greasy! As someone with oily skin, I think this will work even better for me in summer than in winter!!
ConsAfter using it for a few days, I noticed some sebum buildup in the areas where I applied it as a final step. While my skin wasn't dry or excessively oily, I could see some sebum accumulation after a while...? (It was fine when I finished with a hydrating cream or sunscreen after this product) I wouldn't recommend this for those with combination dehydrated skin or dry skin... If you have combination dehydrated skin, you might experience some deep dryness in this weather! As for pore-minimizing effects... I'm not sure. Maybe it's because I only used it for the 2-week Hwahae Testers period, but I think I'd need to use it longer to see any pore-minimizing results.
TipIf you have oily skin, try using this as your final step in the morning before makeup - it helps control shine throughout the day!

I can't live without powder, regardless of the season, as my skin is always pumping out oil. - Texture: Spreads smoothly like a hydrating cream, with a cooling effect when applied. - Scent: Can't quite place it, but it's not unpleasant. Maybe a slight floral fragrance? - Effectiveness: It works! It effectively controlled my usually shiny and slippery oily skin. I tested it for 11 hours, using oil blotting paper once midday, and noticed a significant difference from before. Previously, even after using blotting paper, excess oil would cause my makeup to come off on tissues. With this product, barely anything transferred when I wiped with a tissue. I was amazed! It doesn't completely eliminate oil production - blotting papers still pick up a similar amount of oil. However, visually and to the touch, there's much less shine. One day, despite wearing thick clothes and sweating while eating hot udon, my skin still looked great. Personally, I'm extremely satisfied. I'm excited to see how it performs in summer when sweat and oil production are at their peak.
Cons- It might be challenging to use this as a replacement for a hydrating moisturizer. It seems best suited as a primer. - The price feels a bit steep. Compared to the amount you get, the regular price seems excessively high. - I don't expect significant improvements in pores. Even with this product, you'll still need to use powder or oil blotting papers, which can potentially clog and enlarge pores.
Tip- Use only a small amount on necessary areas. Applying too much can cause pilling, so be sure to use sparingly!

Sign me up! This moisturizer is designed for oily and combination dehydrated skin, promising 8-hour sebum control and long-term improvement in oil production. Being silicone-free was another plus that made me want to give it a try. With all the mask-wearing making my skin even oilier, I found this cream really helped balance my daily oil production without over-drying. It seemed to strike a good balance between oil and moisture control. The product is fragrance-free and didn't cause any irritation at all, which was great. At first application, I wasn't sure if it was really controlling sebum, but after it absorbed, I felt a slight powdery finish that really lived up to its name! It almost felt like applying a light, mattifying primer. If I notice improvements in sebum production and overall skin condition after a month of use, I'll definitely purchase it again and make it a staple in my routine!
ConsIt claims to have long-term benefits like pore tightening, reduction, and blackhead improvement, but I can't really tell yet. I guess I'll need to use it longer to see those effects. The quantity is a bit on the smaller side, so if you're applying it all over your face, you might go through it pretty quickly, which is a bit of a bummer.

I had been struggling with excess sebum production around my nose and T-zone, making my skin look like I had a dewy makeup look. That's when I decided to try this product. Previously, my face was so oily it felt slippery due to the sebum, but after applying this, it noticeably suppressed oil production and left my skin feeling fresh and matte. It also has anti-wrinkle and brightening benefits, so I applied it generously around my nose, T-zone, under-eyes, and smile lines.
ConsIt doesn't address the root cause of sebum production. While it prevents excessive oil from surfacing, it doesn't actually reduce the amount being produced. I can feel the sebum gradually building up in my pores, especially on my nose. I do remove it separately, but I think it would have been great if they made a set of two products, with one specifically designed to care for deep within the pores.
TipI noticed that when applied too thickly, it leaves a white powdery residue on the face after some time. Use an appropriate amount. At night, I apply it thinly after my skincare routine. In the morning, I either rinse it off during cleansing and reapply a thin layer, or skip it altogether.

This hydrating cream spreads smoothly and feels moisturizing without being heavy. It doesn't cause any pilling or emphasize dead skin cells when applying foundation. After my usual skincare routine, I applied this cream, followed by sunscreen and foundation. Even after 7 hours out, including a meal and no touch-ups, my skin looked less oily than usual across my forehead, cheeks, and T-zone when I got home. (The photo might look shiny due to the lighting, but trust me!) It seems to balance oil and moisture effectively. With less oil production, my makeup stays put longer. The ingredients are good, and true to its name, it really does control excess oil!
ConsI haven't found any downsides yet. No blemishes, itching, or other issues. To be honest, I don't expect creams to improve pores anyway. I'm satisfied just with how well it controls oil throughout the day!
TipI'm definitely considering purchasing this for summer use!
