The mung bean provides a cooling sensation, and it definitely helps to reduce heat. It's perfect for summer! I use it well whenever my skin feels heated. 🫧 The hygienic pumping style and the lid make me happy with the packaging. It's a functional product, yet the price is affordable, and it seems to be on sale often!! 👍🏻 🫧 It doesn't seem to reduce existing pores, but instead, it prevents my pores from getting larger as my skin gets more lax and stretched from the heat.
Cons💭 From a dry skin perspective, it has some plumpness, but the overall moisture and oil balance feel insufficient. I need to supplement it with a lotion or cream!

I prefer fragrance-free products, and this is almost completely fragrance-free. 🌿Texture It has a slightly slippery texture. It's not as thick as pudding, and not too slippery either, so it's a light serum that absorbs quickly when you pat it into the skin. 🌿Feel & Hydration I sometimes felt a cooling sensation, and other times I didn't. I think it depended on my skin's condition that day, but the cooling effect wasn't very strong, and it was more of a cooling sensation from the fragrance rather than a heating feeling. I didn't experience any breakouts.😊 There is a slight tightening sensation after application, but it doesn't feel as tight and dry as some other pore-minimizing serums. There's also a sense of hydration being replenished. 🌿Effects I feel like my pores have tightened, but I can't visually see the difference yet. I'll need to use it more to see the full effects!
ConsSince it's less oily, I think I'll need to add a moisturizer after using this serum in the fall and winter. But it's so light, it'll be perfect for summer use!😙
TipJust roll a little bit and gently pat it in, and it absorbs right away☺️

Dry but oily, prone to shininess. Absorbs makeup well. Has a lot of freckles, milia-like blemishes. Frequent breakouts. 》 Will leave another review after finishing the product. 🙂 Consistent results without rebound effects?? - Easy to apply. No side effects. -Immediately, the pores on my cheeks widened and had sebum buildup, so I tried it, and the sebum cleared and the pores shrank. (See photos) Saw dramatic immediate effects. 😁 🧴Texture: Heavier than a toner, lighter than a serum, with a flowing consistency. 🦨 Fragrance: Fragrance-free
Cons🤔 Point 4. Refreshing, moisturizing without burden?? -May feel refreshing and moisturizing when used in transitional weather or winter, when there is less oil. Recently, in warmer or hotter weather, it has more oil than moisture, not recommended. Felt sticky after application.
Tip😆 Point 1. Pore-tightening sensation upon application?? -Not sure. -If referring to a cooling sensation, try storing it in the refrigerator or a cool place before use in the summer. It feels very cool, and the pores seem less widened.

The T-zone area is very oily, while the rest of my skin is dry, making it a challenging combination skin. Texture/Usage: It's transparent. The texture is similar to aloe vera gel, so it applies smoothly. There's no stickiness, and it's very hydrating, giving my dry skin a refreshed, moisturized feeling when applied. I also experienced a cooling effect, which was immediately soothing on my sensitive skin. Fragrance: It's fragrance-free, so there's no burden from any scents when applying it.
ConsDownside: While it's very hydrating, it seems to lack oil. I felt my skin drying out quickly. On dry days like today, I don't feel like the moisturizing effect lasts. It actually seems more suitable for use in the summer.
TipPro Tip: Using this serum alone may not be enough. It's best to layer it with a toner several times, then apply it, and finish with a richer, more emollient cream to help the hydration last.

As I've gotten older, my oil production has decreased, and my pores have become more prominent. I chose this product to help manage my pores. 1. Packaging I liked that the product comes in a sealed, squeeze-type container. Personally, I dislike it when cosmetics come into direct contact with my hands, as I worry about bacterial growth. This product's packaging prevents direct hand contact, which I found to be a hygienic feature. 2. Texture The texture is a light, watery gel. However, it doesn't run or drip. I was able to apply it evenly to my face without it sliding off. I could thoroughly cover each area without the product running, making it easy to spread. 3. Cooling Effect The main advertised benefit of this product is its cooling effect. The high moisture content provided a noticeable cooling sensation upon application. I would apply it right after cleansing in the bathroom, and the cooling effect was soothing on my slightly heated post-cleansing skin. 4. Hydration Even though it's a gel texture, the product transforms into a more watery consistency when massaged. After applying and gently patting it in, I could feel it absorb completely within 2 minutes.
ConsAs this product is formulated for a quick-absorbing, cooling effect, it lacks oiliness. After absorption, you may need to apply a more emollient product on top to provide additional moisture.
TipSince my skin is prone to dryness, I've applied this product multiple times. Layering it helps me achieve an even more hydrated feel.
