As soon as I applied it, I could really feel a tingling sensation! The texture is like thick nasal mucus that doesn't flow easily! I feel like my pores might have shrunk a bit...? But I think I'll need to use up the whole bottle to know the effects more accurately.
ConsThe dropper... doesn't work well. You have to press it really hard and use it carefully for a lot to come out. After applying, a huge blemish popped up. The amount feels too small...
TipYou can probably just apply it to the areas where pore care is needed! Be sure to test on a small area first before use, as it causes a tingling sensation.

Cons- Although it was said to be suitable for sensitive skin, while it was fine on my nose, it stung when applied to my T-zone. I thought I'd get used to it after a few days, but for two weeks, it irritated my skin every time I applied it, aggravating existing blemishes and making them redder. I don't recommend this for those with sensitive, blemish-prone skin like mine. - Since it's not a runny formula, how about a pump container instead of a dropper?
TipI don't use nose packs, so I tend to have some excess sebum. I think it would be effective to remove sebum with a nose pack and then finish with this serum kept cool in the fridge.

It doesn't flow like water, making it easy to apply by dropping a single drop on your face. ※ Scent A harmony of aromatherapy and medicinal scents? The smell isn't unpleasant, more like a therapeutic fragrance. ※ Application & Absorption Despite its thick texture, it spreads easily and absorbs well like water when applied. It's slightly sticky, but I only used it at night, and since my skin is dry, I'm used to heavier products, so the stickiness wasn't particularly bothersome for me. Oh! And it tingles a bit when applying. ※ Sensation This was the most disappointing aspect - as someone with super sensitive skin, I experienced some irritation. On days when my skin wasn't at its best, I couldn't use it at all. Even when I applied it on my skin's best days, I noticed blemishes the next day. Small pimples would appear. During the 14 days, I only used it about 4 times, and only once did I not have any blemishes the next day. It seems my skin doesn't agree with this product, so I probably won't be able to use it anymore.
ConsIt might be too harsh for sensitive skin. Seeing as blemishes appear the day after using it, even on days when I didn't have any to begin with, I'd recommend those with super sensitive skin to opt for a different product.

It absorbs well without any stickiness, making it perfect for summer use. <Hydration> It provides ample hydration, staying true to its serum nature. <Expected Effects> As I'll mention in the drawbacks, I'm not sure if the citric acid and rosemary leaf oil (which sensitive skin should be cautious of) are highly concentrated, but I felt a tingling sensation immediately upon application and stopped using it. I've used products containing citric acid before (like Skinfood's famous carrot pads) without any issues, and I've also used products with rosemary oil without problems. So I'm not sure what specifically caused the tingling sensation that made me stop using it. Those with atopic or sensitive skin should be careful. Ultimately, I couldn't use it for a sufficient period, so I'm unsure about its expected effects. I'll have to try another pore serum. +The tingling was caused by the spicule particles, which are a feature of the product. However, a subtle tingling sensation remained even after application, so I'm unsure if I'll continue using it unless the effects are exceptional.
Cons<Tingling> As mentioned earlier, I was surprised to feel a tingling sensation as soon as it touched my skin. <Packaging> I felt I had to mention this. At first, I thought the product was defective because no serum came out no matter how much I pressed the dropper. Unlike other serum cosmetic packages, you can't close the cap completely and press the dropper. You need to open the cap first and create some space between the dropper and the bottom of the package before drawing up the serum.

To compare, it's like static electricity but 10 times milder, or a gentle tickling sensation. • Although it's recommended to avoid sensitive areas like the eyes due to the spicules, I accidentally applied it around my eyes. Surprisingly, I didn't experience any discomfort, even though I usually have sensitive skin around my eyes and can't use most sunscreens there. • The scent is quite distinctive - it might be polarizing. It's reminiscent of herbal medicine or fresh leaves. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance. • The dropper has excellent suction power. It draws up the product smoothly, like a mini vacuum cleaner. • I'm not sure about its effects on pores yet. I'll need to use it longer to see, but while there wasn't a dramatic reduction, my skin condition was noticeably better the day after use.
Cons• Those with oily skin might find it challenging to use in summer. It leaves a slight film on the skin, which can feel a bit heavy.
Tip• For those with oily skin using this in summer, it might be sufficient to apply just toner and this serum.

Sensation: There's a slight tingling when applied, but I was relieved to learn it's due to the liposome spicules. This sensation disappears as it absorbs! It's less irritating than Ri*shot! Texture: Not runny at all. It has some viscosity, so it doesn't flow easily. I thought it might be a bit heavy, but that feeling vanishes as it absorbs! Since it's summer, I applied a light emulsion, then a small amount of this serum, followed by the emulsion again - it worked great! Effects: While I'm not sure about its impact on pores (they're constantly open in summer), I'm sure continued use will help prevent issues. More importantly, it instantly smooths out dead skin cells. The morning after first use, I thought I'd need to exfoliate in the evening, but when I washed my face that night, it was already smooth! (Note: I didn't even wear sunscreen that day) Ever since, I've noticed improved texture every time I use it. It's becoming my go-to for texture care. It's absolutely amazing! The deep hydration is fantastic too!
ConsThere were no downsides! I initially thought the texture might be too viscous, but it absorbs well, which is great.
TipA small amount is enough to cover and smooth the entire face! I only use two drops!

The semi-transparent formula isn't too runny or fluid, making it perfect for light summer use. Recommended for: Those needing pore tightening and individuals with dark pores due to pigmentation. How to use: After gently prepping your skin with toner, apply the pore serum and lightly pat it in for better absorption. Personally, I like to prep my skin with madecassoside pads before applying a thin layer of this pore serum. Adjust the frequency and amount based on your skin type. Benefits: - Absorbs well without feeling sticky or heavy - Provides hydration Precautions: Avoid using around the eyes and mouth. Do not apply to wounded areas. If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test before full application.
ConsWhile I didn't have any major issues, my sensitive skin did experience a slight tingling sensation.
TipFor enhanced results, I find that following up the madecassoside pore serum with a cool, soothing cream helps calm and moisturize the skin.

The ingredients are great, and the scent is pleasantly neutral without any overwhelming artificial fragrances. The texture is a non-runny, thick ampoule that applies smoothly and absorbs well into the skin, which I really liked. It contains spicules, but I didn't find it as irritating as I expected. It's a bit less painful than Ni*shot 100, and I didn't experience any lingering discomfort the next morning.
ConsUnfortunately, I used this when my skin wasn't in the best condition, and it seems it didn't agree with me. After using this product, my skin texture became more uneven with bumps. I'm not sure if it's a temporary reaction or if I need to use it more consistently to see results, but for now, the irritation seems too intense, so I've stopped using it. I'm quite surprised because I didn't have this reaction even with Ni*shot. I thought the ingredients in this product would help calm my skin even when it wasn't at its best, but it seems there might be something in it that doesn't suit me. Also, it made my skin feel drier than expected, causing more oil production, so I'll need to be more diligent with moisturizing. I'll try it again when my skin condition improves and update my review. Make sure to do a patch test before using this product!

There's a fresh, herbal scent that feels invigorating. It's not unpleasant and quite agreeable. ✨ Texture: It has a slightly runny consistency, but it adheres well without dripping. It's not heavy, and when applied, there's hardly any rich feeling. After it absorbs, there's no stickiness, leaving a fresh sensation. It doesn't seem to have much moisturizing function, and appears to be 100% designed for pores. 🧚🏻♂️ Effects & Review: I'll need to use it longer to see if it actually reduces pores, but so far I'm unsure. I do like that it's almost oil-free. I really dislike feeling greasy or slippery, so I'm satisfied in this aspect. No blemishes yet, and there's a very slight tingling when applying, but it's fine. I'm using it comfortably without issues. This would be good for those with oily or normal skin looking for a non-sticky, oil-free pore care product.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about it, and it seems like a decent pore product for maintaining the status quo. It would be especially good for oily skin, and suitable for normal skin too. However, for those with thin or super sensitive skin, I think it would be best to do a patch test before using.
