It comes with a seal and spatula inside, making it hygienic to use. The cream has a thicker, more dense texture than I expected, which felt a bit heavy. I'm applying small amounts to areas where I'm concerned about pores. It's great to use after regular sebum removal. While it's not sticky, it is heavy, so I think it's better suited as a night care product for those with dry skin rather than oily skin.
ConsWhile it's not excessively rich, as someone with oily skin, I could feel the oiliness. I've noticed some blemishes appearing, so I can't use it daily. Instead, I'm using it every other day.

Pore tightening & skin texture improvement My skin texture wasn't great due to cosmetic buildup, but after using this product as night care, I saw improvements! My skin felt as soft as when I slather on moisturizing products - it was like baby skin texture. 2. Hydration As mentioned earlier, it's as moisturizing as a rich cream! I think it's as good as Bioderma's moisturizer. It seems suitable for combating deep dryness in fall and winter! 3. Fragrance The scent is like a natural fabric softener, which I really loved! Actually, highly moisturizing creams often have a peculiar fishy smell, but this one has a pleasant scent, which is fantastic!
Cons1. For oily skin types, the moisture might cause blemishes due to excess oil! Since my T-zone is oily, I apply it thinly there. 2. Also, it takes a bit of time to absorb... There's a slight transfer of product.
TipWhen I apply it generously for night care, avoiding the T-zone, my skin texture improves and I really feel like my pores have shrunk... I'll need to use it more, but so far I'm satisfied.

The scent is so mild that it's unlikely to be polarizing. ✔️Texture: It has a balm-like consistency, quite thick. There's a slight oiliness that leaves a bit of stickiness on the face after application, but it's fine once absorbed. The thick texture actually feels great for pore tightening! ✔️Color: Opaque white ✔️Hygiene: Loved that it comes with a spatula for scooping! ✔️Application method: - The instructions say to apply upwards, but since my pores are slightly diagonal, I applied it diagonally upwards, imagining I'm filling in the pores along their natural direction. - I mainly used it on areas with pore concerns rather than all over the face. - As I have dry skin, I followed up with a hydrating moisturizer all over after it absorbed. I usually apply it at night before bed. ✔️Results: The cream feels like it's filling in and tightening the pores due to its firm texture. I didn't expect dramatic results after just a week, but looking at the photos, I was surprised to see that my elongated pores appeared slightly shorter. I think continued use could yield more noticeable results! Also, it seemed to balance my skin's oil and moisture levels, which I really appreciated. After using this cream, my skin's oil-moisture balance felt more harmonized than before.
ConsThe slight oiliness might be too much for those with oily skin...! However, if you have dry skin, it could be great for balancing oil and moisture!
TipWhen applying upwards, try to imagine you're filling in your pores according to their natural shape! It might also be beneficial to apply a few extra layers until you feel like the pores are fully filled in!

Scent: The fragrance is neutral, making it suitable for all ages and genders. Experience: The rich texture is perfect for dry winter skin. With consistent use, I believe it could effectively tighten pores.
ConsDue to its thick consistency, it might feel a bit heavy for summer use, making it less ideal as a year-round product. There's also a slight shine after application (though this could be due to my oily skin type).
Tip1. While the included spatula is a bit short and stubby for my liking, I found that applying thin layers multiple times with a slimmer spatula gives a satisfying mask-like feeling. 2. As this cream focuses on pore tightening, I believe using it in conjunction with a LED therapy device could maximize its effectiveness.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsScent: It has a subtle fragrance, not too overpowering! Texture: It's closer to a rich, creamy consistency rather than being runny. It's not overly oily, and it comes with a spatula, making it easy to apply. Feel: It doesn't feel sticky, but rather has a substantial feel on the skin! The moisturizing effect is great. It feels gentle and doesn't cause blemishes. There's a tightening effect on small pores, though it might not be as effective on larger ones.
ConsSince it's good for dry skin, it does have a rich texture and some oiliness. Those with oily skin might find it a bit heavy and potentially sticky. It might be challenging to use as a daily standalone cream. It seems more suitable as a night cream or for intense hydration after showering.
TipFor those with oily skin, you might try mixing a small amount with a lighter formula! When blended, it absorbs well and can be used daily. If you apply a thin layer before bed and cleanse in the morning, you'll notice softer skin texture and an Inner Glow.

It might feel a bit rich for those with oily skin. How I used it: With the changing seasons, I was worried about my skin cracking, so I applied this cream to my T-zone and U-zone after my regular skincare routine (toner, emulsion, and moisturizer) both morning and night. Sometimes when it felt too rich, I skipped the T-zone but always applied it to the cheeks near my nose. I'd use about a pinky nail-sized amount, patting it in. To prevent pilling with my moisturizer, I sometimes mixed it with a watery toner for a smoother application. Texture and feel: The texture is truly unique. It looks like a sticky, moist cream, but when you scoop it out to apply, it feels like you're using a super rich balm. Despite its rich feel, it's less sticky and doesn't leave a greasy shine. Even when mixed with a watery toner, once absorbed, it still has that balm-like texture! This would be great for those who need a rich cream but don't like an overly sticky feel. Pore-minimizing effects: Honestly, I don't think one week is enough to judge its pore-minimizing effects! I did feel like there was some improvement, but I think that's more due to the hydration making my pores less noticeable rather than actually tightening them. I tried taking photos, but my redness makes it hard to judge objectively. I'll keep using it and update later.
ConsWhile I didn't experience any blemishes, I noticed an increase in sebum production on my nose. The areas where I'm concerned about pores are mostly areas that produce a lot of oil, so I find the richness of this cream a bit overwhelming to apply there.
TipThe attached photo was taken right after waking up, before washing my face. I used the rear camera for the best possible quality.

Despite its thick appearance, the cream's surprisingly smooth application left a great first impression.
ConsAs someone with dry, dehydrated skin prone to contact dermatitis and super sensitive skin, I found this cream to be more rich than hydrating. The moment I applied it, my face lit up with an intense glow, feeling like it was oozing oil all over. Unfortunately, this led to some massive blemishes bubbling up from within - something I haven't experienced in a while. I had high hopes since it's made by Yakson House, but sadly, it just didn't work for my skin type.
TipGiven its rich texture, this cream might be beneficial for firming when used in conjunction with gua sha tools on areas that need a massage for improved elasticity.

Product scent: It has a noticeable cosmetic fragrance! User experience: Being sensitive-skinned, I'm always cautious when trying new products. On the first night, I applied a small amount only to my butterfly zone and nose area. The next day, I was relieved to see no blemishes had appeared, so I've been consistently applying it to those areas every evening. It feels a bit heavy for all-over application, so I use it partially and apply a hydrating cream to the rest of my face. Honestly, I haven't noticed significant effects on pores yet, but I'll keep using it. Sometimes I think I see a slight improvement in pore appearance, so I'm motivated to continue! The pores haven't dramatically disappeared though. Packaging: While I'm not usually a fan of jar packaging, this one comes with a spatula-like tool for easy scooping, which is nice. There's also an inner lid, allowing for relatively hygienic use.
ConsWhile it worked fine for me, I think those with oily skin might find it too rich and heavy. It felt a bit weighty on my skin as well.
TipIf you have super sensitive skin like me, I recommend patch testing a small amount for a couple of days. If there's no reaction, you can then use it consistently.

Packaging The clean white and green combination, along with the glass container, makes it feel more hygienic. 2. Texture Rather than a typical moisturizing cream or gel-type formula that holds water or oil, it's closer to a heavy balm-type with more oil content. When applying, it felt heavy and a bit suffocating in terms of absorption and spreadability. The scent is fresh and light, with a subtle fragrance. 3. Effectiveness Since I've only used it for a few days, there hasn't been a significant effect on pore size or number yet.
Cons1. Price It's on the pricier side, so more frequent sales would be appreciated. If it doesn't show effects on pores, I probably wouldn't purchase it again as there are many cheaper and better moisturizers available. 2. Ingredients While the ingredients are generally mild, it's disappointing that it contains some pore-clogging components. 3. Side Effects After use, the areas around my nose became red and irritated, so it didn't suit me well. Also, as time passed after application, my eyes became very irritated, possibly due to the high oil content.
TipThis product might be suitable for those with non-sensitive skin who can use a variety of products without issues. Especially for those with oily skin, it feels like it could lead to an oil overload.
