Great for covering pores and achieving a flawless complexion. Recommended for dry skin.
ConsSlight tingling sensation at first. Feels a bit rich. Leaves a sticky finish.

ConsMy face felt too tight so I stopped using it, but it continued to feel tight and itchy for almost a week. Areas with less sebum like around the mouth are so tight I can't apply it at all. It feels like it's blocking the deep hydration of my usual moisturizing products. After using this, my skin barrier broke down for the first time in my life, and I'm still struggling. My skin was fine even with double cleansing daily, but it changed from oily over time to dry over time (the sebum reduction effect is definitely there). Just when I think it's getting better and try it again occasionally, it gets worse again. I'm not sure if there's an ingredient that doesn't agree with me. The pore-reducing effect was good, but it's a shame it didn't work out.

It seems even more effective when applied after removing excess sebum.
ConsIt 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.
TipThe effects seem to be amplified when used in combination with microneedling.

It's likely to be a great fit for those who dislike sticky textures. While it's marketed as vegan, it's worth noting that sometimes vegan cosmetics can actually be more irritating to the skin, so keep that in mind.
ConsThe tingling sensation is intense! If you have blemish-prone skin, this will definitely wake you up. I applied it to one cheek and it stung so much I had to wash it off immediately and use something else. Looking at other reviews, it seems many people experienced this stinging sensation too. Interestingly, the ingredients list doesn't show anything that should cause such irritation - I wonder why? It's even more intense than retinol. Unless you have really resilient or naturally good skin, this might be hard to get used to... Other Hanyul lines like mugwort or yuzu are genuinely gentle and nice, but this one? I'm not so sure...
