ConsIt pills like dirt when applied, possibly due to conflicting ingredients with my regular cream.

It's refreshing and doesn't cause pilling before makeup application.
ConsFor those with dry skin, it might feel a bit drying, so you'll likely need to layer another product on top.

But after using this for over a month, I've noticed my pores are less noticeable - seems like it's actually effective for pore care! Plus, the dead skin cells that used to flake off excessively whenever I applied makeup, regardless of the base I used, have significantly reduced. Texture and Finish: It has a light, watery essence texture that absorbs quickly and well. It doesn't cause any pilling with makeup. The finish is so refreshingly light that it makes me want to keep applying it. Scent: I didn't notice any particular fragrance - it seems unscented to me. Packaging: The pump dispenser makes it easy to apply. The bottle is lightweight, fits comfortably in one hand, and has a simple, appealing design.
ConsThe downside is that due to its watery consistency, even though it's a large volume for an essence, it seems like it will run out quickly. It feels very lightweight.

The toner leaves a refreshing finish, while the essence provides deep hydration. Even when using both products together, my skin doesn't experience any tingling or irritation.
ConsThere's nothing to complain about! I'll definitely purchase the Pore Clearing mask or other products in this line if they become available...

I tried it, but it fell short of my expectations. Given that my skin typically reacts sensitively to products for oily skin or pores, I suppose this outcome was inevitable. Hydration: While it might be suitable for those with oily skin or for light summer use, as someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it too drying. The finish, however, is fresh and lightweight!
ConsBlemishes: After using it twice, my cheeks started to itch, and a couple of small pimples appeared. Unfortunately, it doesn't suit my skin.
TipRecommended for those with oily skin or anyone looking for a lightweight option for summer use.

It absorbs exceptionally well. After application, it feels fresh and smooth without any stickiness.
ConsIt sinks in and feels moisturizing at first, but then there's a tightening sensation. True to its name as a 'lock essence', it gives a firming effect. This might make your skin feel dry and taut.
TipI'm not sure if the tightening feeling is due to the firming effect or because it's drying, but there is a noticeable tightness. If you have dry skin, it's best to layer a hydrating essence or moisturizer on top. I applied this to my son who has oily, acne-prone skin, and it seems to have significantly reduced his overnight oil production.

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.ProsI have oily skin that's prone to blemishes and is quite sensitive. My skin also changes with the seasons, so I pay extra attention to skincare in summer and focus on exfoliation. When I saw the Real Barrier Pore Clearing Serum, it seemed like exactly what I was looking for - a product that could exfoliate and hydrate at the same time. The texture is like a runny gel, and while the color isn't particularly appealing, it absorbs well into the skin. It's smooth to apply, feels fresh, and doesn't leave any sticky residue. Despite having super sensitive skin, I haven't experienced any irritation or breakouts from using this. The pump bottle makes it convenient to use.
ConsI'm not sure if I'm seeing any improvement in dead skin cells yet. I wonder if I need to use it consistently for a month to see results. The packaging makes it difficult to see how much product is left. While I appreciate the light, non-oily hydration it provides, I think it might not be enough for those with dry skin.

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.ProsThis is perfect as a base booster toner for combination skin that's lacking hydration! The absorption and application are excellent - it's not quite a watery toner, but it feels like using one. My usual skincare routine includes toner, ampoule, oil, and cream, so I found this product great to use as it's not oily and feels refreshing. However, if you're planning to use this as your only toner or ampoule, you might want to choose something with more richness or layer an additional serum to avoid dryness. I especially recommend this for those with oily skin!
ConsIt's disappointing that the container is opaque, making it difficult to see how much product is left. While it claims to control sebum, I haven't noticed significant effects yet as it's been less than 4 weeks since I started using it. I'll need to use it for longer to see if there are any noticeable changes and update my review accordingly.
TipIf you're using this product during the dry winter season, you might need to add an ampoule or oil to your routine to prevent dehydration!

Recommended for those who prefer a less heavy application even in winter. Despite its freshness, it doesn't dry out quickly, offering a perfect balance of hydration and lightness.
ConsThose with dry skin might find it a bit light. It would work well when paired with an oil or a richer cream.

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, the texture is exactly the type of light essence I love - not sticky at all and absorbs quickly. It's perfect for layering under cream. While it might be too light to use alone, I have oily skin even in winter, so I prefer a fresh essence when I want to add more cream. It's also very gentle, which I appreciate. I have sensitive skin, but despite containing exfoliating ingredients, it doesn't cause any irritation. It's super mild! Pore essences usually need consistent long-term use to see noticeable results, so I'll need to keep using it. But I'm satisfied so far because the flaky skin that usually appears on my cheeks and between my brows in winter has reduced a bit since I started using this. With no irritation and some reduction in dead skin cells, I plan to continue using it. I'll update again in a month!
ConsIt's extremely lightweight, so those with dry skin might need to pay extra attention to their moisturizer.
TipFor winter use, a moisturizing cream is definitely necessary. The texture is great for multiple applications in summer. As I have oily, acne-prone skin, using this followed by a hydrating cream has been perfect so far. When it gets colder, I'll switch to a richer moisturizer. I focused on applying a bit more to areas where dead skin cells tend to accumulate, like around the nose, cheeks, and between the brows. I gently pressed it into my skin using the warmth from my palms to help it absorb.
