I love applying it right after cleansing.
ConsI'll need to use it consistently to see if it really improves my pores. Still, it seems good for light, everyday use.

It feels gentle, provides hydration, and seems effective for deep dryness. The pump bottle makes it convenient to use, and the lid ensures good storage.
ConsThe price seems a bit high, and the lid was somewhat stiff, making it difficult to open. However, these minor drawbacks are outweighed by the product's quality.

As someone concerned about pores, I was excited and curious to try Real Barrier's new pore-focused product. The ingredients are all gentle and free from any harmful components. It's not sticky at all, applies moistly, and absorbs well into the skin, which I really liked. After a little while, there's some dryness, so you definitely need to follow up with a cream. I wish they had a cream in the same line... Since I haven't used it for long, I'm not sure about its effects on pores yet, but it doesn't feel like it's clogging them. When I apply it, there's this refreshing sensation. Anyway, I love how light it feels and how the essence seems to absorb directly into the skin. It might be too drying for those with dry skin. If you have oily skin and are worried about pores, this essence might be worth trying.
ConsThe downside is... When my skin is sensitive, I feel a slight irritation. But it doesn't last long or cause any concern, it's just momentary. There's no blemishes or anything, so it's fine. I'll buy it again during a sale... right now it's a bit pricey.

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.

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 essence has a runny texture, so it applies smoothly even in small amounts. I used it consistently morning and night for two weeks without any blemishes. It felt incredibly gentle, and I noticed my T-zone, U-zone, and butterfly zone gradually becoming smoother. I wonder if it's reducing the appearance of pores? I'm just recording my impressions since I used it without prior knowledge of the product. It's easy to reach for because it's so comfortable to use. I'm very satisfied with both the quantity and price.
ConsPerhaps because it's a pore-focused line, that's all it did. It only maintained a slight level of hydration, so after applying it, I felt the need to layer another serum, oil, or rich cream on top.
TipI think this could work well as an all-in-one product for men. Since men tend to have oilier skin and often find creams too heavy, this alone might be sufficient. I'll have to get my husband to try the rest.

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.

Ingredients I felt reassured after checking the ingredients on the Hwahae app - no harmful components! It's also fragrance-free, so there's no noticeable scent. 3. Application The lightweight, fluid texture makes it easy to apply and absorbs well. 5. Effectiveness As a product designed to improve dead skin cells, I noticed my skin texture felt more refined after application. 7. Hydration As a water-gel type essence, it provides an immediate and satisfying boost of hydration.
ConsThere weren't any particular downsides. It seems to be a product that focuses on its core functions.
TipSince this product helps control excess sebum, it might feel a bit dry if used alone in winter. For combination or normal to dry skin types, it would be best to finish with a richer product for optimal oil and moisture balance.

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 oily, acne-prone skin that's super greasy even in winter, I prefer a hydrating essence + moisturizer combo over thick creams. After using this for a week day and night, I'd sum it up as 'hydrating and fresh'. The product has a runny, translucent consistency - thinner than mucus - with no scent, feeling light from the start. It applies smoothly, absorbs quickly, and really cuts down on busy morning prep time. Surprisingly, despite being very hydrating, it doesn't feel sticky or rich. Instead, it adheres nicely to the skin, making application enjoyable. The hydration lasts quite a while too, not evaporating quickly. I think it's perfect for oily skin types like mine. After finishing this product from The Hwahae Testers, I definitely plan to repurchase!
ConsWhile it feels very hydrating, it doesn't quite address deep dryness. For my oily skin, it's adequate, but those with normal to combination skin might find it lacking as a standalone winter essence. Also, while it claims to improve dead skin cells, pores, and sebum control, the effects were either too subtle or just didn't manifest on my skin. I didn't notice significant improvements in dead skin cells or sebum during use.
TipSince it's a light hydrating essence, if hydration feels insufficient when used alone, it might be good to complement it with a more moisturizing cream in the next step of your routine.
