Texture Love how it's not sticky at all 2. Quantity Generous amount 3. Hydrating without feeling oily Feels slightly rich when applying, but absorbs incredibly fast. After absorption, skin feels soft and matte - perfect for oily skin 4. Non-irritating Doesn't leave any residue on the skin A major plus: when you apply makeup after this, it seems to reduce sebum production by about 5%. Great for oily skin in summer
ConsNeed to pump about 7 times for one use (1 dropper of regular ampoule = 4-5 pumps of this one) The amount dispensed per pump is relatively less compared to a dropper
TipHighly recommended for oily skin!! Perfect ampoule for a quick application before heading out!!

It definitely helps control oil production - I've noticed my skin produces less sebum when I use this!
ConsFor those with super sensitive skin, using this morning and night daily might be too irritating... That's been my experience, so I'm planning to only apply it in the evenings.

ConsI've only used it three times so far, and I haven't found any drawbacks yet.

The texture is just right - not too thin or sticky, but a perfect essence consistency. It applies smoothly and feels great on the skin. Compared to just using aloe gel or cream alone, it definitely seems more effective for pore care!! I'm totally up for using this more consistently.
ConsHowever, as someone with combination dehydrated skin - oily T-zone and dry cheeks - applying it all over my face in winter made my cheeks feel desperately dry. Still, when I only applied it to my T-zone, it worked well for balancing oil and moisture.
TipFor those with combination dehydrated skin, avoid applying it to your cheeks and only use it on areas where you want to balance oil and moisture.

Great for managing dead skin cells :) Managing dead skin cells and excess sebum is crucial for healthy skin care! After using it for about a week, I felt that Real Barrier Pore Clearing Essence helped remove dead skin cells and sebum without irritation, making my skin texture smoother! It definitely seemed to make a difference in how my makeup sat on my skin, haha. 2. Absorbs well :) Maybe it's because it's winter and very dry, but the essence had great absorption. After quickly sinking into the skin, it gave a feeling of hydration that felt like it was strengthening my skin barrier! I looked it up, and apparently one of the ingredients, glyceryl glucoside, helps increase moisture retention. 3. No blemishes :) After using it morning and night for about a week, I didn't experience any blemishes, probably due to the gentle ingredients! There's almost no scent, so I didn't have any issues using it. This product seems to be an essence that's easy to use with the added benefit of managing dead skin cells. I'm so happy to have found an essence I like that allows for both dead skin cell management and hydration, which are essential in winter!
ConsEven though I have combination skin, I often feel dryness in winter, probably due to my office environment. I didn't notice it right after application, but as time passed, I felt a slight dryness. That part was a tiny bit disappointing.
TipWhile it's a great essence, if you often feel dryness in winter, make sure to apply a super hydrating moisturizer generously. This way, you can maintain hydrated skin even in winter with the Pore Clearing Essence managing dead skin cells and the moisturizer providing hydration. Personally, I recommend the combination of Real Barrier Pore Clearing Essence and Real Barrier Extreme Cream.

The concept is nothing groundbreaking - various gentle exfoliating ingredients that care for dead skin cells while keeping pores unclogged. However, the 'unclogged pores' part leads to remarkable results! When pores aren't covered by dead skin cells, it allows for better waste elimination → less sebum buildup → even the accumulated sebum is easily removed during cleansing → overall reduction in sebum leads to fewer blackheads. It creates this wonderful cycle of improvement. We often focus on visible flakes, but it's those tiny, almost invisible dead skin cells that show up after makeup application. You can't do much once you've applied makeup, and it's hard to tell if exfoliating later even worked. This essence tackles those sneaky culprits that clog pores without being noticeable. By keeping these under control, it manages sebum production and makes pores less visible, resulting in clearer-looking skin. It might seem insignificant, but I've never used a product that provides such a perfect balance of cascading effects! This essence doesn't instantly smooth skin by removing all dead skin cells, dramatically tighten pores, or provide intense hydration. Instead, it offers a solution that may not be immediate but addresses the root causes fairly quickly. It's gentle enough for consistent, long-term use, which is why I love it so much. I had oily skin with seemingly hopeless blackheads, but after using the Water-lock Essence for about a week, I saw very satisfying results. Unlike other pore products I've tried that were just drying and ineffective, I'll definitely be purchasing this with my own money once I finish this bottle!
ConsI think this would be especially effective for skin types like mine, where dead skin cells easily clog pores, leading to sebum buildup and enlarged pores!

I've been using it for almost 3 weeks, and the texture of my skin when wearing makeup is completely different. I used to have terrible flaking when applying foundation due to wearing a mask daily, but now my skin feels like it did before mask-wearing became the norm. It's amazing! My pores have significantly improved, and the whiteheads and excess sebum on my skin have disappeared. I bought it again while it's on sale, planning to use it after I finish my current one. It's incredibly good! Skin type - Combination leaning towards dry (with extreme dryness around eyes and mouth) + Hypersensitive (cold urticaria, cholinergic urticaria) + Prone to hormonal breakouts during menstruation 1. Texture Slightly viscous but thin consistency. It doesn't drip when applied to the back of your hand. No stinging sensation when applying. 2. Scent Seems to be fragrance-free. 3. Absorption Absorbs well. Immediately after application, it might feel a bit surface-level, but after about 5 minutes, when you touch your skin, it feels powdery soft and well-absorbed, leaving the treated areas incredibly smooth. 4. Hydration Likely sufficient for oily skin types, but if you have dry skin and plan to use this alone, you'll need to follow up with a rich moisturizer to maintain hydration! 5. Skin texture improvement I always struggled with whiteheads popping up around my chin due to wearing a mask all day, especially when wearing makeup. This seems to have helped clear up some of those whiteheads. I'm also very satisfied to see a noticeable reduction in blackheads in my T-zone! I've had persistent blackheads for nearly 20 years, so I'm hoping to see further improvement with continued use.
Cons1. Blemishes around the nose I experienced a few small blemishes around my nose, which was a bit disappointing. This might vary from person to person, so it's best to test it yourself before purchasing if possible. 2. Slight dryness I have extremely dry skin around my eyes and mouth, and I start to feel some dryness about 5-6 hours after my skincare routine!

With its excellent oil and moisture balance, it's suitable for all skin types except very dry skin. Rather than removing sebum, it seems to prevent new sebum and pimples from forming. It's a non-irritating product, perfect for when your skin is super sensitive.
ConsIt's disappointing that it lacks brightening or anti-wrinkle properties. While it doesn't cause deep dryness, it's not particularly hydrating either - I wish it provided a bit more moisture. The opaque container makes it difficult to check how much product is left.
TipRecommended for days when you're dealing with lots of blemishes or super sensitive skin! Look for this gentle product when you need something mild. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight!

This was my first time trying this particular product. Gentle on Skin: As I have super sensitive skin, I was cautious about the exfoliating ingredients and initially applied only a small amount. Despite my skin being in poor condition due to the changing seasons, it felt gentle and caused no irritation. I also appreciated that it's free from artificial fragrances. Hydrating: While it controls sebum, it still keeps the skin hydrated. As someone with dry skin, hydration is more important to me than oil control, and this product satisfied that need. I could feel it effectively balancing my skin. Overall, this seems like a great product for combination dehydrated skin that's prone to blemishes.
ConsWhile I didn't find any significant drawbacks, I'm curious about whether it's suitable for daily use given its exfoliating properties.
TipIt becomes even more hydrating when used in conjunction with Real Barrier's moisturizer.
