  Pros

  Quick review: If you're in your 20s or 30s and want to tackle pores, sebum, and firmness all at once, give Mamonde Pore Shrinker Bakuchiol Cream a try! Its rich texture, gentle ingredients, and quick skin texture improvement make it an excellent daily pore cream! What I loved: Formulated with 30 times more potent Bakuchiol (3,000ppm), 95% pure retinol, and peptides compared to the previous version, this cream is specially designed to care for pores from early to advanced stages. Its effectiveness is proven by clinical trials, where 96.6% of participants experienced improved pore elasticity. Despite its rich and creamy texture, it's not oily and spreads smoothly with a hydrating feel. After absorption, it leaves your skin feeling protected, smooth, and soft, making it suitable for both morning and evening use. With its nearly fragrance-free beige color, it's safe for sensitive skin! Many reviews say even retinol beginners can use it daily without irritation. Users report quick improvements in skin texture and a feeling of tightened pores the next morning! It simultaneously controls sebum and improves elasticity, making it especially recommended for those in their 20s and 30s with oily skin and pore concerns. It also works great under makeup without any pilling.

  Cons

  The finish is more rich and matte than watery, so extremely dry or mature skin might find it drying when used alone. If you have dry skin, be sure to layer it with a moisturizing cream. Those with very large or deep pores might not see dramatic shrinking effects, and some reviews mention that consistent use is needed for gradual changes. Since it contains retinol, you might experience temporary flaking or tingling if your skin is sensitive. It's best to start with a small amount and gradually increase usage as your skin adapts.

  Tip

  For best results, apply a thin layer to areas with larger pores after your toner and serum in your evening routine, then layer it once more over your entire face. If you have dry skin, follow up with a hydrating cream or facial oil to balance moisture and firmness care. In the morning, applying a small amount can create a smooth skin texture like a pore primer, without causing makeup to pill! If you're sensitive or new to retinol, try using it every other day at first, then increase to daily use as your skin adjusts.

  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

  I've been using this product since before it was reformulated. My skin tends to get red even with the slightest increase in retinol content, but then I discovered bakuchiol as an ingredient. Surprisingly, my skin seems to tolerate bakuchiol well, without any rejection, which is why I keep repurchasing it! I don't use it too often, but when my skin feels rough and dehydrated, I apply this. The next day, I immediately notice my skin becomes more supple and soft, so I trust in its effectiveness!

  Cons

  While it would be great to use it more frequently, my skin is super sensitive, so I only apply it for a day or two when my skin feels dry and rough. This limitation is due to my skin's sensitivity, which is a bit disappointing :(

  Tip

  When I use active ingredients, I keep my skincare routine minimal. Layering too many products can be overwhelming, and I want my skin to focus on absorbing the active ingredient. However, if I feel my skin is dry after application, I'll apply a very thin layer of hyaluronic acid cream!

  Pros

  I bought this product on my friend's strong recommendation, and I can see why they were so enthusiastic about it! As soon as you apply it, you can feel it firming up your skin. I'm confident that with continued use, the pores around my T-zone will noticeably shrink!!!

  Cons

  If there's one downside, well... it's probably the price. It feels a bit expensive for the amount you get, but I suppose you're paying for quality results.

  Tip

  Try to grab it when it's on sale!

  The tube packaging makes it hygienic and easy to use. The texture is delightfully bouncy and it absorbs well into the skin.

  It seems my skin type didn't agree with it as I experienced some blemishes. However, my husband found it perfectly suitable and used it happily.

  With consistent use, I noticed my skin texture becoming more refined. I really liked the firm, smooth finish it gave.

  Pros

  I've been using this for 3 weeks! When first applied, it feels more like a dense, firm texture rather than an intensely hydrating one. It was fine for the first two weeks, but from the third week, I started feeling a slight tingling sensation. So now I'm applying it every three days. I didn't experience any blemishes, and I appreciate how gentle it is on the skin. From the one-month mark, I noticed a reduction in the size and number of pores! I'm not sure about its effect on fine lines, but the pore-minimizing effect seems significant! I'd recommend this to retinol beginners!

  Cons

  There's nothing particularly bad about it. If I had to nitpick, those with oily skin might find it a bit rich.

  Tip

  Although it contains a small amount of retinol, it's best to do a patch test on your skin before using it regularly.
