Spreadability (Absorption) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's a moisturizing, soothing cream-type product that applies smoothly and absorbs quickly. I don't like sticky products, and this one is moisturizing yet absorbs rapidly without any stickiness. It's very suitable for my dehydrated oily skin as it's moisturizing without any greasy residue. 2. Trouble (Soothing, Sensitivity) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It feels gentle and soothing when applied. As someone with sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation or breakouts. 3. Transfer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It absorbs quickly and thoroughly, so there was no pilling or transfer when I applied makeup on top.
Cons1. Tightening⭐️⭐️ As the product itself is lightweight, I didn't feel that it tightened my pores firmly. It was difficult to see results in the short term. 2. Whitening⭐️ There was no whitening effect at all.

Let's be honest, for functional skincare products, effectiveness is the most important factor, right? I've tried many, but this is only the second one that's shown noticeable results! While effects may vary from person to person, it was genuinely effective for me. Don't expect dramatic changes overnight though. With consistent use, you'll see results! I was particularly bothered by the pores on my nose, but after just 3 days of use, I noticed a significant reduction in pore size and my skin felt smoother! Cooling effect - 4 stars It has a cooling sensation. This is why you need to control the amount you use... The cooling effect intensifies the more you apply, so I recommend using a small amount. You know lowering skin temperature is good for skin health, right? At first, I thought more product would mean better results, so I applied it generously. The cooling sensation spreading across my face felt a bit unpleasant (personal preference). I have super sensitive skin, so I might have felt the sensation more intensely, but after that, I had no issues when I applied small amounts only where needed! Scent - 5 stars It's so subtle, you might think it's unscented. I'm sensitive to fragrances and don't prefer scented skincare, so I was very satisfied with this. It's probably not completely fragrance-free, but even when I tried to detect a scent, I could barely notice anything. Blemishes - 3 stars I'm not sure if it's because it's a functional product with some irritation, or if my skin needed time to adjust, but I did experience some blemishes.. It wasn't a major breakout, just a few small blemishes on my cheeks. However, because it was effective for my pores, I continued using it, and the blemishes gradually cleared up!
ConsBrightening - 1 star I'm not sure about the brightening effects. I applied it all over my face not just for pores, but also because it claimed to have brightening effects. Don't get your hopes up. Oiliness - 3 stars This may vary depending on skin type, but my skin felt oily. It doesn't feel oily immediately after application, but over time, it seems like oil starts to surface? This is reason #2 for using only a small amount. It's the changing seasons, so my skin has been dry and I've been applying more cream than usual. I was shocked by how oily my skin became the first day I applied this all over my face. It's completely fine if you apply a small amount only where needed. Blemishes - 3 stars It would have been great if I didn't get any blemishes from the start, but that wasn't the case. Also, during the adjustment period, my skin felt irritated, so I'm mentioning this for those with sensitive skin to take note!
TipDon't apply too much thinking more product means better results! It's much better to apply small amounts in layers! Also, I found it more effective to apply it to areas with pore or blackhead concerns rather than all over my face. If you use an appropriate amount on problem areas, the product should last a long time.

It leaves my skin feeling plump and moisturized, and I can really feel how firm it makes my skin. While it's not quite a holy grail product, it's definitely worth trying!
ConsI didn't notice any brightening effects or pore tightening. Also, it caused quite a bit of eye irritation.
TipI've been using it lately both before bed after washing my face and before applying makeup. It absorbs well when applied before makeup, leaving the skin nicely hydrated!

I tried this product after removing blackheads with a sebum softener! Texture: It's a white cream with a slight green tint, neither too heavy nor too light - just the right consistency for a soothing cream. Compared to the P*re pore cream, it's much lighter and less oily. Application: As a soothing cream, it's very hydrating and spreads smoothly. There's a slight cooling effect when applied, which feels refreshing on the skin! It's perfect for use on irritated skin, like after blackhead removal or exfoliation. Scent: It's essentially unscented. If you really put your nose to it, you might catch a faint mung bean scent common to the B PLAIN mung bean series. I love that it's almost fragrance-free! Overall impression: I compared it to my usual P*re pore cream while applying. I really like that the texture isn't heavy, it's adequately moisturizing, and has a very subtle cooling effect! The cooling is so gentle that it feels more calming than irritating, which is great. It's perfect for daily use, morning and night! I think those with combination dehydrated skin will be very satisfied! I personally highly recommend it and would definitely repurchase. I give it 5 out of 5 stars!
ConsCons: There aren't any major drawbacks! If I had to nitpick, I'd say the skin brightening effect isn't very noticeable...? I usually don't leave the 'cons' section this empty, but I genuinely loved this product. I've been using the mung bean cleansing foam and thought this would be good too, but it exceeded my expectations!
TipHighly recommended for those with combination dehydrated skin, especially if you have an oily T-zone like me! Apply a thin layer to areas where you're concerned about pores (nose, butterfly zone, chin, etc.) after building a solid skincare base. It absorbs well and leaves skin feeling hydrated! After removing sebum with a pore pack or softener, use this on the enlarged pores. The cooling effect helps to soothe the skin and tighten pores! (That's how I used it for this review!)

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAfter receiving the product from The Hwahae Testers, I applied it consistently morning and evening. The texture was thinner than expected, but it absorbed well. The third and fourth photos were taken on the first day of use. That day, due to high levels of fine dust, wearing a mask caused a lot of irritation, resulting in facial redness. The last photo is the most recent. While I didn't notice a significant reduction in pores, the redness seems to have decreased. Though it's not very visible in the photos, I have many wrinkles on my neck, so I applied the product there too. I feel like the wrinkles have become less noticeable!
ConsThe instructions said to apply morning and evening, but when I applied it in the morning before makeup, my makeup didn't adhere well. I didn't notice any brightening effects. There was some slight skin irritation. I didn't feel an immediate cooling sensation on my skin. I didn't see much effect on pore tightening.
TipFor those with super sensitive skin, I recommend patch testing before use! I would recommend this to those concerned about wrinkles, but if you're worried about pores, don't use this soothing cream alone. I suggest using it in combination with B-plane's Pore Tight-up Serum!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone who was interested in trying a cream for pores, I was excited to use this product. Although the trial period was too short to visibly confirm its effectiveness in pore reduction, I found other benefits. As someone with dry skin, I appreciated the hydrating formula. Even in the dry winter indoor air, I didn't experience any tightness or dryness, even after waking up. Being a fan of dewy skin, I loved how it kept my skin moisturized during makeup application. My routine of toner, this cream, and essence allowed for a beautiful dewy finish. The absence of any strong scent was a plus for me. The texture is like a lightweight moisturizer rather than a thick cream, providing a pleasant cooling effect when applied. It also absorbs well into the skin.
ConsWhile there's an initial cooling sensation when applied at night, I noticed that about an hour later, my cheeks would become flushed and warm. This wasn't typical with other products I've used, but seemed to happen consistently with this cream. (I'm unsure if this reaction is beneficial for the skin or not.) Despite claims of brightening effects, I didn't notice any improvement in that area.

It has a scent reminiscent of cica or forest. There's a cooling effect that makes your skin feel refreshed upon application. Significant pore-minimizing effect! Comparing the before and after 2-week usage photos, you can clearly see the pores have visibly shrunk. Honestly, I've never experienced actual results from other so-called pore-tightening products, but this is the first time I've genuinely noticed a reduction in pore size. Will definitely repurchase, 100%!
ConsThe brighter complexion in the 2-week after photo is just due to lighting differences. I didn't see any brightening effects. During seasonal changes and winter, you'll need to apply an additional moisturizer. It's difficult to rely on this alone for hydration.

Not too thick, and absorbs evenly. You could say it's similar in texture to snail creams. Once fully absorbed, there's no sticky residue. Scent: It's practically unscented, making it non-irritating. Packaging: Unlike jar packaging where you worry about bacteria every time you dip in, the tube design is definitely more hygienic. From photos, it might look like an eye cream container, making you wonder if there's enough product. But in reality, the tube is quite large with a generous amount of cream.
ConsEffectiveness: Despite the name suggesting 'pore tightening', I didn't notice any significant difference in my pores. Maybe it's because I haven't used it long enough. It's also supposed to have whitening and anti-wrinkle effects, but I didn't take before and after photos, so I can't really tell.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst off, I have combination dehydrated skin that's super sensitive - even the slightest issue can cause blemishes to pop up immediately. When I used this product, it felt refreshing and non-greasy, yet had this really nice, firm texture. Usually, when I use regular moisturizers, my oil and moisture balance gets thrown off, and my skin feels tight after a while. But with this one, it's hydrating and fresh, yet has that firm feel, so my skin didn't feel tight even after some time. Plus, it's fragrance-free, which makes me trust it more, and I didn't experience any breakouts when I applied it. Overall, it seems like a solid, reliable product.
ConsThey claimed it was good for brightening and pores, but I didn't really see much of an effect... Should I keep using it for a bit longer to see results?

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product has a slight greenish tint and has a gel-like texture with more hydration than a regular cream. The product itself feels cool, so when you apply it, you can feel a cooling effect that seems to slightly reduce skin heat! I tend to have noticeable pores in my T-zone, but I liked how this product made my pores feel tighter right after application. When used together with a serum that has similar effects, it seems to create a great synergy in making the pore areas smooth! It absorbs quickly and provides deep hydration. Even without a particularly rich feel, it still maintains good moisture retention.
ConsThere's not really anything to complain about! However, due to the short usage period, it's difficult to confirm the brightening and anti-wrinkle effects. While there's a feeling of tightness in the pores, it's impossible to visually judge any actual changes.
TipIt might be more effective for pore tightening if used after removing sebum from the pores. For those with dry skin, it might be good to apply an additional layer of a richer moisturizer.
