I'm really interested in pore tightening, so I used a sample my friend gave me just once!
ConsAs you can see from the photo, my skin texture completely flipped out. With a burning sensation, my skin felt so tingly that when I looked in the mirror, it had turned out like this. I used all my other skincare products the same as usual! It took a week of constant care with modeling masks and aloe packs to get my skin back to normal. My skin is usually quite smooth with only small bumps in the T-zone. I think the areas where I focused on wiping gently along the skin grain after using the pad reacted particularly badly (left cheek, between eyes and nose, forehead, T-zone). If you have sensitive skin, be sure to check the ingredients! If you can get a sample, definitely try that first!

When I apply it to my skin, it feels incredibly soft and smooth. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but I feel like my pores have even gotten smaller! I highly recommend it!
ConsThere wasn't anything that didn't work for me or any aspects I found disappointing.

The pads have two different sides - one with a raised embossed texture and the other smooth. This dual-fabric design allows for two uses: the embossed side is great as an exfoliating toner, effectively removing fine dead skin cells and stubborn sebum, while the smooth side works well as a pore-tightening pack. They even have a pointed tip that adheres well to the sides of the nose, allowing for targeted care of areas like the nose wings and between the brows. The fabric is the thickest I've used compared to other products, with a subtle balm fragrance. The pads are designed to fit snugly around the nose area, and contain just the right amount of essence. The pointed part adheres well to the skin even if not perfectly aligned with the nose wings. While the pore-tightening effect isn't dramatically noticeable, it does help somewhat. After gently patting it in, it seems to reduce oil production when applying makeup. The Buddle Balm Pore-Tightening Pads are perfect for T-zones or areas with many pores. The thick, soft fabric makes them versatile for use as both an exfoliating toner and a pack. I find them particularly effective for tackling blackheads - I wipe the area, leave it on for a bit, then remove.
ConsHowever, the scent is quite strong and might not be to everyone's liking. While the pads are moisturizing and pleasant to use, the pore-tightening effect seems to vary from person to person.
TipWhen I'm in a hurry, I quickly swipe it over my whole face (except the eye area) two or three times, like applying toner. At night, I use them as a 20-minute pack, placing one on each cheek and one on the forehead. They adhere well and stay put until most of the essence is absorbed. As I don't have extremely sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes or redness from using them.

First off, the adhesion is fantastic, and you can see the pore-minimizing effect immediately. Even in my butterfly zone where the pores are quite noticeable, it feels like they've tightened up significantly!
ConsThere's nothing bad to say! I even love the slightly pointed part - it's absolutely perfect.

But since using this product, I hardly get any blemishes there anymore! I also feel like my pores have slightly shrunk. I'm now on my 10th bottle. If you have an oily T-zone with blemishes, you absolutely must try this!
ConsThe scent might be divisive. It's like a sweet bubblegum smell? I personally don't like it. Also, it feels a bit sticky after application. The product comes with a built-in plate and tweezers, but removing the plate every time you use it can be a hassle. Sometimes it doesn't come out easily, so I end up using it without the plate altogether.

The shaped pads make it easy to apply on contoured areas, and personally, I love the scent.
ConsThe pore-tightening effect is temporary. When I switched to a different pad, my pores went back to normal. It seems you need to use this consistently for lasting results.

Wow, Hanyul has done it again. This product is absolutely incredible. It has a sweet candy-like scent, but surprisingly, it's a game-changer for pore tightening. Using it as a toner right after cleansing, I noticed immediate pore minimizing effects. Plus, there's no stickiness or oiliness at all, just pure hydration.
ConsAs expected, the scent is a love-it-or-hate-it situation. It's nice at first, but if you use it daily, you might get a bit tired of the fragrance.
TipIn my case, I focused on applying it to areas where my pores are most visible, like around my nose and the 'butterfly zone' on my cheeks. Then I squeezed out more to spread over my entire face. I saw an instant reduction in the appearance of my pores. (In other words, the pore-tightening effect is temporary, unfortunately.)

While the effects aren't immediate, with consistent use, you'll notice your elongated pores transforming into tiny dots! Scent: Instead of a typical chemical cosmetic smell, it has a delicious, sweet chestnut aroma! (But please don't try to eat it... ahem.) Quantity: With a total of 50 sheets, you can use two sheets a day for 25 days! At this price for a month's worth of pore care, it's hard to resist!
ConsThe price is a bit on the higher side. However! Since it lasts for about a month, grab it when it's on sale. Hwahae also offers many coupons, so be sure to take advantage of those!
TipNote: While the Hanyul Puddle Balm works well on its own, using it together with IOPE Actinol Pore Shot will make your pores virtually disappear! I recommend storing it in the refrigerator and using it cold. (It's heavenly for soothing skin heat!)

I had concerns about enlarged pores on my nose and T-zone. To cut to the chase, the Buddle Balm Pad is more effective on the T-zone than the nose! I actually used a total of 3 pads - 2 for the cheeks and 1 for the nose. The results on the T-zone were visibly noticeable, with pores appearing significantly smaller! So, I highly recommend this product, especially for those struggling with T-zone pore issues.
ConsThe price is quite steep, which is disappointing! I really wish they would have sales more often.
TipAttention pore-conscious folks! Here's a one-month user's golden tip! This pad works wonders when used in combination with other products. Here are two killer combos: 1. Riddle Shot + Buddle Balm Pad: This combo is absolutely amazing. Apply Riddle Shot, then gently press the pad onto your skin for about 10 minutes like a mask. Follow up with your cream, and your night care routine is complete. 2. Buddle Balm Pack + Buddle Balm Pad: I was blown away by this combination. It's fantastic! The Buddle Balm Pack is great for oily skin with horizontal pores and dry skin with vertical pores. After using the pack and rinsing, follow up with the Buddle Balm Pad as an exfoliating toner. You absolutely must try this routine!

ConsI'm not sure if it's because I have sensitive skin, but when I used it as a pad pack after cleansing in the morning, my face turned red like a rash. Those with sensitive skin should be cautious!
