The viscosity is just right and there's no stickiness.
ConsThe fragrance is a bit like cosmetics, but it's not really to my taste, which is disappointing.

ConsThe fragrance is a bit strong for me. The cosmetic scent is quite intense, so I'm wondering if it might be a bit overpowering. I'm curious about it.

Texture The texture is more fluid compared to the ampoules I've used before. This allowed me to apply it evenly and moisturize my skin. 2. Soothing Before using this, I had some inflammatory acne on my cheeks that was about to flare up. After using it for a few days, the inflammation visibly subsided. However, it doesn't seem to be effective on closed comedones.
Cons1. Hydration As someone with very dry skin, I had to apply a separate hydrating ampoule because this one didn't provide enough moisture. 2. Fragrance The fragrance is quite artificial.
TipYou need to twist the cap of the ampoule before using it!

It's true that there are many products out there that claim to be good for pores, and they are constantly evolving, but they haven't been able to significantly reduce the size of my cheek and nose pores. 🥲 So the two main things I looked for when using this product were: 1) Whether it could maintain the current state of my pores without letting them get any bigger 2) Whether it would be non-irritating for daily use Pores are often associated with retinol and retinal, but using high concentrations of these ingredients daily can be too irritating. Lower concentrations don't provide satisfactory results. But the Liv Em Exocore Ampoule contains exosomes as the main ingredient, which are skin-boosting components, so I was excited to try it out. The texture is very watery and absorbs into the skin like a toner, leaving no residue. Even when I applied a cream on top later, I didn't feel any dryness. As for irritation, I did experience a slight tingling sensation the first time, but it went away after a couple of uses, and I didn't notice any redness or other reactions. After using it morning and evening for about a week, I could visually see that the uneven texture and smaller pores had become smoother, even though the larger pores didn't change much. The biggest improvement I noticed was a significant reduction in redness. While this ampoule may not have a dramatic effect on pore size, I think it's a great option for the summer due to its lightweight, hydrating formula. I'll definitely continue using it consistently this season.
ConsEverything else about it is great, but the scent 😓😓😓 it smells like bathhouse body lotion..; I think it would be better if it was unscented...
TipSince it's so hot in the summer, I just left it at room temperature and used it, and it was quite warm! 😆 But when I kept it in the fridge and used it chilled, I felt like my pores tightened more, and it also helped reduce skin heat. It's a two-in-one benefit!

I didn't feel like it improved a lot, but I did feel a slight improvement. •Pores I didn't feel like it greatly reduced the size of my pores, and compared to other brand's pore ampoules, it felt a bit weaker. But still, my skin seemed to be more refined, and my pores appeared to have shrunk a little. •Soothing As soon as I applied it, I felt a quick and effective soothing effect.
Cons•Dryness It was drying!ㅠㅠ If you don't use a highly moisturizing lotion, it will likely feel very drying. When I used a light lotion with it, the dryness caused some breakouts to appear.ㅠ •Flakiness Due to the dryness, I felt like some flakiness was also appearing. For those with dry skin, this might feel extremely drying. •Fragrance It has a distinctive grape-like sweet fragrance, so those with sensitive noses should take note!
TipWhen I used it with the light lotion I had been using in the summer, it felt too drying. But when I used it with the heavier lotion I had been using in the winter, there was a slight tightness, but no oiliness, and it seemed to be okay.

Even until the beginning of this year, I was only using very gentle basic skincare products because of my persistent acne! I never even dreamed of using functional or nutritional products. Once my troublesome acne disappeared, I started noticing other skin concerns like freckles, enlarged pores, and wrinkles. I wanted to finally address the areas I had neglected, so I decided to try this product! I have sensitive skin, so I carefully check ingredients, but this product worked well without causing any trouble. Most pore care products tend to be a bit irritating or stinging, but I didn't feel that at all with this one, and it didn't make my skin drier either. The formula is very lightweight, which is great for applying during the hot summer. The trial period was short, and the changes weren't dramatic, but I do think it's helped with my pores! To be honest, I didn't have high expectations when I got this, I just thought I'd try it out. I regret not taking before photos now! It seems like the pores around my nasolabial folds, which were the most prominent, look a bit less sunken. I wish I could do a proper comparison, but I'll have to take photos today after finishing the product.
ConsThe scent of the product is kind of... like old-fashioned mom's cosmetics? Most recent products have more of a herbal fragrance, but this has a rather artificial... cosmetic-like? scent, so there will likely be a clear love-it-or-hate-it reaction. The packaging could also be simplified a bit more.
TipThese days in the summer, our skin really absorbs a lot of heat. Try storing this in the fridge and using it, or apply it generously to problem pore areas before doing a cooling modeling pack - that seems to help with the management a bit more!

As someone with extremely dry skin, I sometimes need to apply an extra layer on my T-zone or dry areas even in the summer, but there's no heavy or sticky feeling, and it absorbs right away. - The hydration is moisturizing, but for those with very dry skin like me, it might be good to layer an extra step, like a moisturizing cream, on top (I always use a moisturizing cream in the summer too since my skin is so dry). - When I first opened it, the green essence seemed to settle, which gave me an intuitive sense that good ingredients were included. - After using it for about a week, I noticed my pores around my nose looked more refined.
Cons- The scent... hmm... it's similar to a soothing gel or aloe vera, which I'm not a big fan of.
Tip- I'd recommend this hydrating essence for those looking for pore refinement and soothing effects, especially in the summer. - It's also gentle enough for sensitive and extremely dry skin types.

However, from the weekend when I stopped sweating, the difference started to show up~ From the 5th day, my skin started to revive, and the red spots, redness, and rashes quickly disappeared, showing fast recovery~ I've always struggled with rashes, acne, and resulting wounds in the summer, but this product is quickly absorbed into my skin and leaves it so clean, I love it~ When I first mixed the ampoule according to the instructions, the color was so beautiful! 🤩 The subtle pale green was so charming~ I was upset, but I'm so glad I can return to my original skin~
ConsThere's a mild artificial fragrance, so sensitive people may notice it~ Apart from that, there are no other downsides~~

As an oily-skinned person, this is a pleasing aspect for me. It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly whether applied with the hands, cotton pads, or puffs. The finish is quite powdery. So it may feel a bit drying for those with dry skin! Packaging🧐 The twist-to-mix mechanism when first using it was a novel experience. The tall, slim container with a narrow base doesn't take up much space, and most importantly, it's incredibly lightweight, making it pleasant to use. The long dropper also allows for easy, single-pump application across the entire face. 🐶 2-Week Honest Review!!🤩 While it may be too soon to say my skin has significantly improved after just 2 weeks of use, the fact that I haven't experienced any allergic reactions or contact dermatitis is already a positive sign. When I first started using it, my skin neither improved nor worsened, but when combined with the microneedling treatment, my complexion looked noticeably brighter for several days! I'll continue to use them consistently together.
ConsFragrance🤢 Compared to other serums, this one has a fairly strong artificial scent. Not recommended for those sensitive to fragrance ㅠㅠ☠️😱
TipI noticed my skin looked much brighter when using this serum together with the microneedling treatment! I plan to incorporate the microneedling 1-2 times per week along with this serum. If you're already using MTS or microneedling, I'd recommend trying this serum as well.
