This product works hard to improve your complexion while providing deep hydration. It's great for those looking to even their skin tone and achieve that coveted Inner Glow. Remember to patch test if you're a super sensitive skin type!

If you have extremely sensitive skin, you might find this product a tad irritating.

At first, I felt a slight tingling sensation, so I was worried it might not be suitable for sensitive skin. I started by applying small amounts only to areas I wanted to treat, like around the nose and where I needed pore care. Although it tingled a bit, I didn't experience any blemishes, so I eventually applied it to my whole face!

What's impressive is that it goes on with a bit of thickness, and the next day, not only were my pores improved, but the hydration was surprisingly amazing. My skin felt completely firm and plump. Makeup also applies beautifully over it.

I have a slightly oily skin type, so I was concerned it might cause excess sebum or acne, but I'm happy to report that it didn't!

보들은행잎 모공핏 세럼

The product absorbs well and works hard to address pore concerns. It's suitable for those with combination dehydrated skin and super sensitive skin. However, some users may experience a tingling sensation, which could be interpreted as either a sign of effectiveness or potential irritation, depending on individual skin sensitivity.

There are times when it feels slightly tingly (of course, on areas with wounds..!). I personally interpret this as a sign that it's working, but my friend sometimes mentions that it stings.

I have combination and sensitive skin, and I've been a fan of Hanyul products because they're generally gentle. At some point, I became concerned about my pores and decided to give this a try - and it works great!
It's like flowing water, absorbs quickly, and the results are fantastic!

It's too lightweight to use on its own. You'll need to finish with a cream.

After using it every morning and evening, I noticed a significant reduction in the appearance of my pores.

However, considering the price, I don't see any significant effects on pores or other areas. Also, it feels a bit rich on the skin...

The angled applicator makes it so easy to apply! The next day, my skin feels slightly softer.

It can be a bit tingling. Rather than using it alone, apply it after your other skincare steps but before your moisturizer.

Helps tighten pores!! It's great for refining pores and smoothing skin texture.

My skin type: Combination dehydrated skin (oily on the surface when dry, with deep dryness)
+ My skin rarely develops blemishes, even when I apply random products or vigorously remove makeup with wet wipes.

1. Texture
This is very subjective, but the texture was too watery, making it difficult to spread evenly as it would immediately run off when applied.

2. Absorption
Despite being marketed as a functional ampoule, it doesn't absorb well and feels like it's just sitting on the surface. Right after application, it feels sticky, and after a while, it becomes excessively oily, noticeably disrupting the skin's oil and moisture balance. However, underneath, my skin feels extremely dry.

3. Pore Minimizing
I used it for about two weeks, which might not be long enough, but I didn't notice any significant effects. As mentioned earlier, the excess oil seemed to increase sebum production.

Even with my typically resilient skin, I started noticing acne and blackheads forming 2-3 days after I began using this product. It seemed less about the ingredients and more about how it threw off my skin's oil and moisture balance. I tried to keep using it for two weeks because I didn't want to waste it, but I eventually had to give up.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any positive aspects to mention... It's quite disappointing.

I don't think I felt like my pores have significantly reduced.

My skin feels smoother and more refreshed.

Using the serum while also using the serum mask pack doubled the effectiveness~🎀

There didn't seem to be any particular downsides. If I had to nitpick, there was a slight stinging sensation when I first used it. I was concerned that the cosmetic product might be harsh, so I checked, but it seems that was just due to the condition of my skin. The cosmetic product is made with only good ingredients in a vegan formula, so I could rest assured!

First of all, my body type is a watery type, so it absorbs quickly without stickiness.
However, there may be a stinging sensation when using it for the first time, depending on the skin condition.
But after using it for a few days, I quickly adapted to it!
It cares for the pore walls, pore interiors, and pore texture!!
It seems to have provided a three-dimensional care, so I was even more satisfied with it.👍 The ingredients were also ones that could be used safely on sensitive skin.
Since any product needs to be used consistently in the long term to see the effects, I will continue using it consistently going forward.🎀

For those who find it difficult to apply because it keeps running down your face like I did, instead of dropping it all at once, try lightly touching the dropper to your skin and 'drawing' it on. This way, you can apply it without it dripping.

The moment you try to apply it, the formula is so runny that it drips down your face, making it a bit challenging to apply properly.

My skin type: combination dehydrated skin, blemishes, redness, blackheads

My skin is extremely prone to redness and quite thin, so I was hesitant to buy this product after reading reviews where many people mentioned a tingling sensation. However, I didn't experience any irritation at all! As expected from a popular product, it's definitely effective - much better than not using anything. It seems to work especially well when applied after a sebum softener or oil.

The 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.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I'm definitely on the oily side! 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!

I bought this because everyone around me said their skin became super smooth after using it, but I didn't see much effect unfortunately. Also, it stings my eyes a bit more than other products.

It absorbs well and I like that it's not sticky.

For those with dry skin, it may not provide enough hydration in winter. The thin consistency can sometimes run and get into your eyes, which can be quite uncomfortable. The pore-refining effects are minimal.

The lightweight formula absorbs well without sitting on the skin. It has a nice texture that spreads easily. Seems perfect for summer use.

The effects seem to be amplified when used in combination with microneedling.

It stings my eyes when applied all over the face. It's best to avoid the eye area. The scent is a bit strong and reminds me of old-fashioned cosmetics.

You can really see the pores shrinking. It seems even more effective when applied after removing excess sebum.
