Overall rating: 5 stars. While I haven't done any pore size measurements, I can confidently say that my sebum production has decreased and my skin texture has become more even. For my very oily skin, this was truly satisfying! Application: It glides on smoothly. There's a slight yellow tint and it may seem to sit on top of the skin at first, but don't worry - this is temporary. The texture isn't thick, and it feels very hydrating. Hydration: I absolutely love that it feels almost oil-free. Even those with dry skin might enjoy this in summer! It leaves the skin feeling moisturized and fresh, making it a year-round recommendation for oily skin types. Irritation and blemishes: I was using Retinol before this and was concerned about potential irritation, but there was none at all. It's just like any other serum. No irritating fragrance, no tingling sensation, and no small pimples or other blemishes. Overall, I'm very satisfied and expect to use this all summer long for hydration and pore care.
ConsThe instructions say to use a rice grain-sized amount, but I found it a bit tricky to control the quantity.
TipAfter application, it might look a bit yellow like you've applied paint, but just massage it in well for absorption.

Luckily, I received this great product as a Hwahae Tester! This product contains retinal, known for its anti-wrinkle and pore-refining properties. Given its potent ingredients, it's recommended to apply a small amount consistently for best results. I used it every other day for about a week and a half (10 days). While there weren't any dramatic changes yet, I could definitely feel my skin texture becoming more refined! When applying makeup, I noticed my pores were much less noticeable, and my skin looked smoother - I loved it! I usually dislike products with strong fragrances, but this one has a subtle, refreshing vitamin scent that's almost unscented. The lightweight, hydrating serum texture makes it easy to apply without feeling heavy. I also pay attention to packaging design, and this one is beautifully eye-catching - it grabs my attention every day! The helpful instruction leaflet that came with it was great too. Since I can feel it's having some effect, I plan to continue using it consistently! If I notice any significant improvements or side effects, I'll be sure to update my review.
ConsWhile not exactly a flaw of the product, it's crucial to carefully control the amount you apply due to the main ingredient being retinal! The instruction leaflet that came with the delivery emphasizes using only a rice grain-sized amount. This advice should absolutely not be forgotten! In fact, when I applied slightly more than a rice grain, I experienced a burning sensation the next day. Having never felt irritation on my face before, it caught me off guard. Fortunately, I was able to soothe it with an over-the-counter blemish cream! For those using this product, please make sure to squeeze out only a small amount. If you accidentally dispense too much, I recommend distributing it over several areas. I'm not sure if it's due to the ingredients, but it leaves a slight yellow tint on the skin, which might make it difficult to use before going out. Since vitamin-based products are also sensitive to UV rays, it's probably best to apply it in the evening after cleansing, just before bed.
TipFor first-time users, follow the instructions on the leaflet: apply a rice grain-sized amount every other day for 14 days to areas of concern (wrinkles, enlarged pores). If you experience any irritation, stop using it immediately and apply a soothing ointment! Also, remember that moisturizing after applying these types of creams is crucial. After applying the serum, follow up with a moisturizing cream for even better results!

It was truly touching! Seeing that they actually wrote it by hand, photographed it, and then printed it - it's adorable and shows the thoughtful nature of the Bider Skin staff. It made me think that if these are the kind of people making the product, it must be trustworthy. The product's exterior has a simple and casual design, with a youthful look that could feature in a magazine targeting the 10-20 age group. The color combination and intuitive design were so pretty, I felt excited from the moment I opened it. The pump bottle makes it easy to dispense just the right amount. Although it's called a serum, I was surprised to see a yellow pigment come out instead of a light, watery texture. I was quite taken aback and wondered if it was safe to apply, but once I spread it on my skin, it absorbed quickly and the yellow tint disappeared. (Many reviews mentioned a yellow tint or staining, but I didn't experience this. Perhaps it's because I applied a small amount evenly. If you control the amount and ensure it's well absorbed, it shouldn't be an issue.) It's fragrance-free, but due to its appearance, it smells a bit like paint - that typical scent you get from unscented cosmetics. The application feels very light. I applied it after toner and serum, and the finish was so light I couldn't even tell I had applied anything. There was no oiliness, tightness, or pilling. However, because you need to apply a small amount, it absorbs very quickly. Before I could finish applying it to all the desired areas, it had already absorbed, making it hard to tell where I had applied it. Instead of applying it area by area (forehead, eye area, nasolabial folds), I found it better to dab it onto each area with my fingertips. This allowed for better control of the amount and wider coverage. After using it every other day for a few days, I didn't notice immediate effects. But suddenly, one morning while doing my makeup, I realized I wasn't conscious of my pores anymore. I used to be very aware of the enlarged pores near my nose, but lately, I haven't been noticing them at all. While I'm not sure about the whitening effects yet, it definitely seems to be working on skin elasticity.
ConsWhile the pump bottle is convenient to use, it's not easy to control the amount dispensed for a product that should be used sparingly. The instructions say to apply a rice grain-sized amount to the necessary areas, but it dispenses more like a soybean-sized amount!
TipAfter pumping once, spread it out a bit, then lightly dab it onto your fingertips and apply it to the necessary areas by dotting it all over before spreading. This way, you can apply small amounts effectively.

Since you only need to apply a rice grain-sized amount, the fragrance shouldn't be a big issue. ✏️Texture: It's thicker than a serum or emulsion, but a bit runnier than a cream? It absorbs well into the skin. ✏️Ingredients: It's vegan-certified and uses gentle ingredients for sensitive skin, so I'm trying it with peace of mind knowing it's less likely to cause irritation. Retinal is said to be more effective but less risky than retinol, though more expensive. After using it for about two weeks, I feel like my skin is becoming more firm. ✏️Effects: For beginners, it's recommended to use every other night. I only apply it in the evening, and I can already feel my skin texture improving and my pores tightening. It's supposed to be specialized for wrinkles and pores, so I'll keep using it. So far, I haven't noticed any blemishes or shortcomings.
Cons🖍️It's light-sensitive, so you're supposed to use it only at night, but I'm a bit anxious about using it under fluorescent lights since I don't go to bed immediately after washing my face. 🖍️They say to use a rice grain-sized amount, but that doesn't seem enough to spread thinly over the face, so I just use as much as I feel is right. 🖍️I understand that genuine retinal has a yellow color, but I'm a bit concerned about potential skin discoloration.
TipDue to the light-sensitive ingredients, it's probably best to wash your face and go straight to bed after applying.

First off, the packaging is absolutely gorgeous, and the handwritten note that came with it was such a touching detail! The detailed usage instructions were also incredibly helpful. The product has a distinctly yellow formulation. Be careful not to apply too much, as it can make your skin look quite yellow - just use about a rice grain-sized amount. Since it contains retinal, it should only be used at night. For those of you who tend to sleep in like me, make an effort to wake up earlier and cleanse your face promptly. Regarding wrinkles, consistent use is necessary to see results, so I can't comment on that aspect yet. However, I definitely noticed improvements in pore appearance, just like many other users have reported! I have particularly noticeable pores around my nose and T-zone. After applying the product consistently for a few days, I felt like the pores on my nose appeared slightly smaller. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but it seemed like my skin was producing less oil too. I didn't notice any changes in my T-zone pores, probably because they're quite large to begin with. I'd recommend this product not just for its anti-aging properties, but also for those concerned about pores.
ConsInitially, I wasn't aware of the proper dosage and applied a full pump, which was too much and caused some blemishes. I should have used just a rice grain-sized amount as instructed. Everyone, please make sure to use the correct amount! After that, when I used the right amount, I didn't experience any more breakouts.
TipI recommend applying this right before you get into bed and cleansing your face as soon as you wake up!

It's really pretty. The size fits perfectly in your hand, like a large glue stick, making it convenient for your bedside table or to carry around. I couldn't really detect any scent in this product. Even now, as I'm writing this review and sniffing it, I can barely smell anything. This would be great for those sensitive to fragrances. I've been working late nights recently and my skin has been a bit sensitive, but I used this without any issues. It doesn't feel greasy or leave any residue when applied. I use this after toner and before a rich night cream, and it layers well without feeling heavy. The bright yellow color does tint your face a bit, but it actually helps you see where you've applied it, which is quite handy! I assume the color is due to the product's properties rather than added pigments, right?
ConsI experienced some small, thin blemishes that looked like they might burst easily. I'm not entirely sure what caused it, but since I haven't changed any other products recently, I figured it might be an adjustment period to this one. The amount you get for the price feels a bit disappointing. Considering you only use a rice-grain sized amount, don't apply it all over your face, and only use it at night, it's somewhat reasonable. However, not seeing dramatic results after two weeks makes it hard to feel like it's good value for money.
TipMake sure to apply a cream or emulsion after using this product. The finish is quite matte if used alone.

What's even better is that unlike many other products I've received from The Hwahae Testers, which often come in plain boxes, this one included a detailed instruction leaflet - a thoughtful touch I really appreciated! I've tried a few skincare products with similar ingredients before, but they tended to irritate my skin. With this one, I only felt a slight tingling on the first day. After that, it felt like it was absorbing beautifully into my skin! I've only used it about 6 or 7 times so far, so it's too early to definitively speak to its effectiveness. However, for some reason, my makeup seems to apply more smoothly in the morning after using this product! At the moment, I'm more concerned about my pores than wrinkles, but I'll update on the results once I've finished the entire product.
ConsWhile the quantity is a bit on the smaller side, a little goes a long way. A dollop slightly larger than a grain of rice is sufficient for each application.

User experience: I have super sensitive skin, so as instructed, I applied it every other day for the first 2 weeks. Since there was no irritation, I've been using it daily since then. It's gentle enough for daily use!
ConsWhile there's no irritation or blemishes to complain about, the quantity feels a bit small for the price. Since they recommend using only a rice-grain sized amount, I wish they offered a smaller, more affordable option.
TipWhen applied, it temporarily gives your skin a yellow tint, so make sure to use it only in the evening!
