Due to my excessive sebum production, I needed help with blackheads and pore management, so I decided to give this a try. While I can't say it dramatically reduced oil production, it does leave my skin feeling smooth after application. It's like my pores got a bit tighter? My sister and I have been using it together, and we're both pretty satisfied with the results!
ConsThe formula is incredibly watery - if you apply it directly to your face, it'll run right off! The dropper has a wide opening, which makes it easy to dispense, but it also means dust can get in easily. You'll need to be extra careful not to spill it.

The packaging is really pretty. The water-like texture glides on smoothly and absorbs well.
ConsI'm not sure about its effectiveness on pores. It tends to run, so you need to apply it carefully, which can be a bit inconvenient.

Her skin looked so smooth that I had to try it myself. I've been using it for 3 months now, and my skin texture has definitely changed. Even though I only use it at night, I can see the results.
ConsThe price compared to the amount is a bit disappointing, but I understand given it's from the Hanyul brand.
TipIt's better to use this at night rather than in the morning. It absorbs well too.

I found this product to work really well for me, but I see it's quite polarizing. I used it without any expectations, but after 3 days my face became smooth with a glow. It's the product that showed the fastest results, to the point where people around me asked why my skin looked so smooth. I think it might be due to the exfoliating ingredients. Those tiny bumps and uneven texture somewhat disappear. I had blemishes on my jawline, and when I first applied it, it stung so much I thought my skin would react badly. But surprisingly, my blemishes actually decreased! I'm not sure what caused this effect... My skin wasn't in great condition, so when I applied foundation it would look patchy and pill. But after using this, my makeup adheres perfectly. I also have super sensitive skin that reacts badly to most products, but this one was really good for me. It's very watery, but when you apply it, it feels like... oil? Or something bouncy? It's fascinating. Surprisingly, it doesn't dry out my skin... It's like a hydration and oil balance that keeps skin moisturized?
ConsThe scent is a bit off-putting. It's somewhat sharp and overall not great, but the effects are good enough that I can tolerate it. If you have even a small scratch on your skin or if you're not feeling your best that day, it can sting. However, it doesn't cause any adverse reactions the next day, so I just bear with it and apply it anyway. It doesn't have any effect on pores.
TipI apply it in this order: Hanyul serum - this essence - moisturizer. If you're like me and struggle with dehydrated skin, deep dryness, uneven texture, and tiny bumps, try this routine. Your face will seriously glow and become smooth.

But this one's effects are truly visible! I only apply it to areas where I'm concerned about pores, and the next morning, my skin is noticeably smoother with less visible pores. It's amazing how well it works! I'll definitely repurchase. I love how it leaves my skin feeling slightly firmer after application. Plus, I haven't experienced any blemishes while using it, which is fantastic!
ConsWhen applying, I sometimes feel a slight tingling sensation. It doesn't happen every time, but I'm still not used to it, so it can be a bit startling.
TipI recommend applying it with a skincare brush rather than your hands. It helps reduce flushing and allows the skin to absorb the product better. I highly recommend this to anyone concerned about their pores!

It definitely works wonders on pores too!
ConsHowever, it causes a slight burning sensation, so I don't think I can use it too often.

Most pore-tightening products I've tried were sticky and felt too heavy for morning use. But this Hanyul product actually makes your skin look better when you apply base makeup over it - leaving a smooth, velvety finish that enhances skin texture. I've lost count of how many times people have told me my skin looks great and that my pores are invisible since I started using this. Even though I don't have naturally good skin, this product's effectiveness is so remarkable that you can literally see the pores disappearing!
ConsIf I had to nitpick, I'd say it tingles a bit and has a slightly peculiar scent. The tingling is mild, similar to using retinol, which actually made me feel like it was working its way into my skin. As for the scent, I wondered if they were going for a ginkgo fragrance...? But that might just be me - everyone else I asked didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

Thanks to the exfoliating ingredients, my skin texture has become smoother with reduced unevenness. Despite having redness and super sensitive skin, I didn't feel any tingling when applying it. Some people mention a stinging sensation, but I guess it varies from person to person. While I'm not sure about the pores on my cheeks near my nose, I can see that the pores on my nose have become smaller. This makes my blackheads appear less noticeable!
ConsIt feels a bit sticky after applying and letting it absorb. Those with bangs should be careful as hair might stick to your forehead...
TipSince it exfoliates, I'm also using a barrier cream to prevent skin irritation. This combination keeps my pores clean without causing redness or irritation! I recommend using it every two or three days in the evening rather than daily. (Don't use this product on days when you've used a nose pack or sebum softeners to remove blackheads! It can cause intense irritation!)
