  Pros

  I first tried this as a sample when I bought a cushion foundation, and I loved it so much I purchased the full-size product. It has a nice, firm texture that feels great on the skin.

  Cons

  It can feel a bit heavy during the summer months. You'll need to be careful with how much you apply to avoid that suffocating feeling.

  Pros

  The rich texture was perfect for winter use. It kept my skin hydrated for a long time.

  Cons

  However, I didn't notice much difference in terms of its main purpose of improving pore elasticity.

  Pros

  It's nice and firm, and I didn't get any blemishes. Usually, these types of functional cosmetics tend to cause milia, but this one allows for gentle pore care, which I really like.

  Cons

  There weren't any real downsides. Maybe the container is a bit heavy? The texture is quite thick, so layering might be a bit challenging?

  Pros

  This serum seems to be trending among the younger generation for slow aging. Its texture is rich yet lightweight, making it suitable for all skin types. It feels like a versatile product that can be used by everyone.

  Cons

  From an ingredient perspective, I was hoping it would provide more significant improvements in pore elasticity compared to other slow aging products. The unique selling point of this product over others seems a bit weak.

  Pros

  ✓ Texture Moisturizing + Elastic The consistency is like thin mucus, neither too light nor too heavy. When applied, it becomes elastic and really helps with deep dryness. You can layer it multiple times without feeling heavy, and you can feel the nourishment! ✓ Fragrance-free This was my favorite part - being fragrance-free, there was no aversion when applying it. You know that feeling when a product contains fragrance and you worry it might be more irritating to the skin... ✓ Sturdy packaging I liked that the lid isn't flimsy but made of solid plastic. While dropper-type containers are common these days, I preferred this pump-type as it's more hygienic and clean to use. One pump dispenses just the right amount, and two pumps are perfect! It even has helpful recycling instructions for when you're done using it. ✓ User experience It retains moisture well! I'll need to use it consistently for another month to be sure, but I experienced zero irritation. Despite my sensitive skin prone to dead skin cells, redness, and blemishes when using the wrong products, this one balanced my oil and moisture well! I applied it before bed and before makeup, and it felt great both times. ✓ Ingredients The ingredients speak for themselves! I trust this product completely as it's made with only gentle, skin-friendly ingredients.

  Cons

  Given its title as a pore-tightening serum, I'm not sure about its effectiveness on pores, but I know it's hard to expect dramatic pore-minimizing results from skincare products alone :) There weren't any notable downsides. It's a serum that's good for everyday, undemanding use.

  Tip

  If you layer it multiple times, you can experience a hydration explosion for your skin!

  Pros

  · I was pleasantly surprised that this product wasn't irritating, unlike most pore-tightening cosmetics which tend to be harsh on the skin. · It didn't leave my skin feeling greasy, but instead provided just the right amount of hydration for combination skin. While this might be a drawback for those with dry skin, I found it perfect for my needs. · After using this product, I noticed my makeup applied more smoothly. I think it's because the serum absorbs well, leaving a firm and adherent finish. · I heard it contains brightening ingredients, and interestingly, I saw more improvement in my complexion than in pore tightening. My skin tone seemed more even and radiant.

  Cons

  · During my time as a Hwahae Tester, I used this product consistently but didn't experience any dramatic pore-tightening effects. However, I did feel slightly less conscious about my pores when applying makeup.

  Tip

  · Some might find the firm finish a bit sticky, but I'd recommend using a sponge to apply the serum. This technique should help eliminate any feeling of stickiness.

  Pros

  1. Product Packaging: The pump-type design makes it convenient to use. I was impressed by the thoughtfulness in making the label easy to remove for recycling! 2. Texture + Feel: The formula has a nice consistency that's not sticky and spreads easily on the skin! When you pump out the right amount and apply it to the needed areas of your face, it absorbs moisturizing goodness! It's not too thin, giving a pleasantly firm feel. This serum is perfect for combination dehydrated skin!

  Cons

  This product is so great for daily use that I didn't really find any significant drawbacks.

  Pros

  I absolutely loved this product! Although I've only used it for two weeks, so I can't be 100% certain, I noticed a significant difference when applying makeup. The pores were much less visible when I used this product compared to when I didn't. The texture is somewhere between a serum and an ampoule. When applied, it feels incredibly hydrating for a serum, and surprisingly, it has a nice, rich consistency!

  Cons

  I haven't really found any downsides yet! If I had to nitpick, I'd say it's slightly disappointing that you need to use it consistently for a long time to see accurate results for pore improvement.

  Tip

  Personally, I prefer applying it directly rather than dispensing it onto my hand first. It feels less wasteful that way.

  Pros

  I really liked the texture of this product! Among ampoule types, it has a bit of viscosity - slightly elastic, you could say? It applies smoothly and has a pleasantly soft feel on the skin! I noticed it's almost fragrance-free too!

  Cons

  I'm so disappointed... My face broke out in red patches immediately after using it. It was so itchy that I had to struggle not to touch it. There must be an ingredient that doesn't agree with my skin. I have super sensitive skin prone to blemishes and combination dehydrated skin, so it's really frustrating that I can't use such a great product after being lucky enough to receive it.

  Pros

  I've always struggled with pores, but often found pore-specific products either didn't suit me or seemed ineffective, so I couldn't use them consistently. This product, however, is great because it's a pore serum that doesn't cause any irritation. Unlike other pore serums that can feel tight and drying, this one feels comfortable and hydrating. The texture is like a runny gel, making it easy to apply. It spreads well, so a small amount goes a long way. After application, it doesn't feel sticky, but rather gives a nice, firm feeling to the skin. I had a preconception that pore serums were drying, but this one is moisturizing without causing any blemishes, which I really appreciate. It's a product that allows you to manage your pores and skin elasticity without irritation. The ingredients are great, and I like that there's no artificial fragrance. With panthenol and squalane high up in the ingredient list, it seems to maintain hydration well. To be honest, I haven't seen any dramatic reduction in pore size yet, but I feel like my skin is being cared for and refined. So, I plan to keep using this The Lab by blanc doux Expert Lu-Tension Serum consistently. I'd recommend this as a gentle pore serum that even those with super sensitive skin can use.

  Cons

  While the product effectiveness is good, if there's one downside, it's that the quantity is a bit small.

  Tip

  I apply this as the very first step in my skincare routine. I put this on first, then follow with the rest of my skincare.
