Pros

For combination dehydrated skin with deep dryness and minor blemishes, this product strikes a balance between refreshing and rich. It doesn't cause breakouts and seems to have a calming effect (I noticed my blemishes were soothed after applying it before bed, though it could just be time passing). I don't typically wear much makeup, but it doesn't cause pilling with sunscreen. When I layered it with sunscreen and cushion foundation, everything absorbed well without any patchiness (usually my skin is prone to makeup not adhering properly due to dehydration).

Cons

It doesn't quite tackle the dryness effectively! There's a scent to it which isn't to my taste (it's not overpowering, but I prefer fragrance-free products).

Tip

Recommended for use before applying base makeup. It's better suited as a makeup base rather than for everyday skincare. Instead, apply your regular moisturizer, then sunscreen, followed by your makeup routine.

Pros

I'm writing this review after using up two 30ml sample tubes of this product, which I received when I purchased it. Using these two 30ml samples is equivalent to finishing a full-size product. I used this product almost every evening. After applying my serum, I would spread this product over areas with large pores, followed by a moisturizing cream. 1. It's fragrance-free and has a beige color. 2. It applies incredibly smoothly, has a rich texture, and feels like it could fill in pores. 3. Except for retinol, all ingredients are gentle and skin-friendly, so you can use it with peace of mind. 4. It doesn't leave a shiny finish when applied all over the face and doesn't sit on top of the skin. Rather than feeling like it absorbs quickly, it feels more like it creates a strong, adherent layer that fills in pores. 5. Even when applying a generous amount, it doesn't clog pores or cause blemishes. 6. Despite containing both bakuchiol (a plant-based retinol alternative) and retinol, it doesn't cause any skin irritation, allowing for daily use all over the face. 7. This product adheres well to the skin, which seems to help improve skin texture. You can barely feel any unevenness. 8. Mamonde is very generous with their samples, often providing sample amounts equal to or even greater than the full-size product. I'm always touched by Mamonde's generosity. 9. The packaging design is beautiful, and the container is sturdy and robust, making it convenient to use.

Cons

1. I've tried many products claiming to help reduce pores, but honestly, I haven't seen any pore-reducing effects. Even after using 60ml of this product, I didn't notice any pore-shrinking results, possibly because my pores are quite large to begin with. If you have large pores like me, it might be difficult to expect dramatic effects, so please consider this when making your purchase. 2. While it's not completely lacking in hydration, those with dry skin or more mature skin might find it drying if used alone. Layering it with a moisturizer rich in oils and hydration can help manage both anti-aging and skin hydration.

Tip

To receive more Mamonde samples, it's best to purchase from their official website or Mamonde Naver Store. The Naver Store, in particular, offers coupon discounts, making it a great deal.

Pros

This product is absolutely amazing! I've been using it consistently since last winter, and I can definitely say my skin's elasticity has improved! I've had oily, acne-prone skin since I was young, which led to a loss of firmness. I decided it was time to take care of it, so I bought this cream. After just one use, I fell in love with it. Even though it's pricey, I keep using it because it's that good. It never causes blemishes and doesn't feel sticky at all. The finish is lovely, and even if you apply it generously, it doesn't leave an oily residue. Instead, it gives a nice, bouncy feeling to the skin. I really encourage you to give it a try!

Cons

If you use this alone, it might not provide enough hydration. I recommend applying a thin layer of a hydrating moisturizer first, then finishing with this cream. It's perfect that way. Highly recommended for oily skin types too!

Tip

When I apply it in the morning, I always make sure to follow up with sunscreen. Usually, though, I just apply it before bed.

Pros

Used for 6 months. Absorbs well. It strikes a great balance between rich texture and hydration, absorbing quickly. While it doesn't offer dramatic results, it's a reliable functional cream that's easy to use regularly.

Cons

It's slightly on the richer side, so those with blemish-prone skin might want to apply sparingly and only to specific areas.

Tip

It's best to apply a thin layer as a finishing touch after your moisturizer, almost like you're adding an extra protective layer.

Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Pros

I've been using this as my night cream for several bottles now - it's become a staple in my routine. While retinol products often raise concerns about irritation, this one is perfect for beginners as a daily item without those worries. I have combination to oily skin, and surprisingly, the finish isn't greasy or shiny at all. It absorbs well, and I love how I can feel the improvement in my skin texture the next day.

Cons

While it's great for retinol beginners looking for a low-concentration product, those seeking stronger and more noticeable results might find it a bit underwhelming. Personally, I noticed good improvement in skin texture, but in terms of pores, it felt more like maintenance rather than showing dramatic effects.

Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Pros

Skin type: Very dry, sensitive Review: This cream improves skin texture and pores without any irritation. Unlike regular retinol creams, this one contains bakuchiol, which makes it much gentler on the skin. It's perfect for retinol beginners or those who don't typically tolerate retinol well. I think they'll be really satisfied using this product. While there weren't any dramatic visible effects, it's just a nice, easy-to-use cream. My skin texture has become softer too.

Cons

The application is good, and everything else is fine, but the finish feels a bit uncomfortable to me. It applies very smoothly, but how should I put it... It feels slightly suffocating? It's not sticky, but it feels heavy on the skin.

Pros

Skin type: Slightly dry Application: Smooth Absorption: The effects seem incredible

Cons

Not recommended. It might just be me, but please make sure to test it before purchasing. The bakuchiol ingredient can cause allergic reactions. Currently, my skin feels hot as if it's burned, and as you can see in the photo, it's severely swollen, stinging, and itchy at the same time. I'm currently on an IV drip, taking medication, and applying burn ointment.
