I was hoping for a significant pore-tightening effect, but unfortunately, it didn't deliver as much as I expected

It has a slightly thin consistency, making it great for lightweight application

율피 모공 타이트닝 세럼

Sometimes it feels a bit too rich, crossing the line from hydrating to oily. It might not be the best fit for those with oily skin.

It's deeply hydrating and the scent isn't irritating. It also has the added benefit of minimizing pores.

I don't think there were any major drawbacks. Among all the products I've used so far, this seems to suit my sensitive, oily combination skin prone to blemishes the best.

When I first used it, I was pleasantly surprised by how it effectively tightened my prominent pores, even if the effect wasn't dramatically instant. I think it's especially necessary during seasonal changes like now, as it also helps with deep dryness. I plan to keep using it in the future.

As someone with oily skin, I can't say I've noticed any significant reduction in my pores

I always use a pore-targeting serum during the day! This time, I tried the Molbani product. While it was a shame I couldn't test it in-store, I decided to purchase it based on its great ingredients and numerous positive reviews. There's a very subtle scent - could it be chestnut shell? It's a fragrance I've never encountered before, but it wasn't overpowering at all. When I first pressed the dropper, the texture seemed so thick that I thought it would be an extremely sticky, oil-rich serum. However, upon application, it felt refreshing, absorbed quickly, and turned out to be perfect for oily skin!

There's honestly nothing bad to say! This product works so well for me. The only downside might be the price - it's not exactly cheap, so I'd recommend buying it during a sale!

I always use a pore-targeting serum during the day! This time, I tried the Molvany product. Although I couldn't test it in-store (which was a bit disappointing), I decided to buy it based on its great ingredients and numerous positive reviews.

There's a very subtle scent - could it be chestnut shell? It was a new fragrance to me, but not at all overpowering.

When I first pressed the dropper, the texture seemed quite thick, so I thought it might be an extremely sticky, oil-rich serum. But when I applied it, it felt fresh, absorbed quickly, and was perfect for my oily skin!

I've used tomato and mung bean serums before, but the Molvany product had the most significant effect on my pores! My pores have really diminished noticeably. The results were as impressive as when I used retinol for pore reduction.

While retinol made my skin glow and reduced pores by exfoliating dead skin cells, the Molvany serum seems to target pores specifically.

I'm not sure about its soothing effects, but it definitely provides hydration! My skin doesn't get oily as quickly. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product!

The disappointing thing is, well, the amount is small. The more I used it, the less effective it seemed. I guess it's typical for products to work well only at the beginning...

I didn't expect much, but it seemed to tighten my skin more than I thought. Other products were just so-so.

In 17 years, I've never had issues with skincare products, except for that one time I used hand cream on my face. Whether this is an essence or serum or both, it caused tiny blemishes all over my face the very next day, giving me a terrible time. As a resident of 'Angel Town' (someone with good skin), I loved Cellpium products, so I never thought Molbani could be the problem. Months later, I tried again diligently, and my skin completely broke out once more. I'm going crazy! I have over a dozen of these at home, and I can't even sell them on secondhand apps.

Nothing good to say. It just sits on the skin and doesn't absorb well at all.

For combination dehydrated or oily skin types, you can complete your skincare routine with just a toner and this product! It's a hydrating serum that works well unless you have extremely dry skin.

There's not much to criticize! It does leave a slightly sticky finish, but it's not overwhelming and quite acceptable.

The impressive 81% chestnut extract as the top ingredient makes this product truly exceptional! Despite its rich, nourishing texture that looks thick, I was surprised by how well it absorbs without leaving any residue. It's likely to work best for combination or dry skin types. Not only does it address pores, but it also provides brightening and anti-aging benefits, making it a total care solution in one product!

Unlike typical pore care products that often have a light finish, this one stands out with its strong viscosity and rich texture. This difference might be a matter of personal preference, so keep that in mind! It seems more suitable for fall and winter rather than summer.

Recommended for:
- Those seeking a moisturizing pore care product
- Anyone looking for an all-in-one product that targets pores, brightening, and wrinkle improvement

It's perfect to use right before your moisturizer in your skincare routine.

While this product seemed to emphasize pore care, I didn't really notice any significant reduction in pore size after using it for nearly a month. It's a decent option if you're just looking for hydration, but don't expect miracles for your pores.

When I first applied this product to my skin, I was amazed by how incredibly well it absorbs, defying expectations based on its initial texture. You'd think its slick, heavy feel would just sit on top, but the moment you start massaging it in, it disappears into the skin like magic. All that stickiness and weight? Gone in an instant. And the fragrance? A subtle, sweet scent that's absolutely my cup of tea.

For dry skin during seasonal changes, you might find the serum step not satisfyingly hydrating enough. I recommend using this product on nice summer days instead.

Its mildness is both a pro and a con? The more I use it, the more I feel it lacks a strong appeal. It's not particularly impressive for pores or hydration, unfortunately.

It seems gentle without causing much irritation. There's almost no scent, making it great for light use during summer!

I applied this product only to areas with high sebum production - forehead, nose, philtrum, and chin - for about four days. While I've never had pustular acne on my nose before, during the time I used this product, a severe pus-filled pimple appeared there. I also developed regular pustular acne on my philtrum. I'm not certain if it's directly caused by this product, and I'm curious to try it again, but I'm hesitant to do so

The scent was pleasant, and the texture felt firm, giving the impression it might help reduce pores
