However, upon checking the ingredient list, I found that it contains aromatic oils that can potentially irritate the skin, so those with sensitivity to such ingredients should avoid it. 👍Texture and Usage This is a 2-step gel mask. The ampoule, being the first step, did not cause significant stinging. The gel mask had a more bouncy than cooling sensation. It adheres well to the skin, but can initially feel a bit slippery. It's best to apply it and let it set for a bit before proceeding with your routine. As this product is targeted for pore management, the focus seems to be more on tightening pores rather than deep hydration. While pores may not be an easy issue to resolve, I did feel a slight improvement in pore appearance after use.
ConsAlthough it has passed dermatological testing and sensitive skin irritation tests, it does not feel particularly gentle. When I applied the ampoule with my eczema-affected hands and placed the pack on top, my hands felt stinging, and there were areas that felt itchy during use. Upon checking after using the pack, my skin had become reddened. (It is recommended not to use it when your skin condition is poor or you have skin irritation.) The immediate effect was that my pores felt temporarily filled, which was nice. However, the effect seemed to be mainly on the smaller pores on my cheeks, while the pores on my nose were relatively larger and I felt less satisfied. The effect also seemed temporary, and uneven skin texture was not improved. (However, since the product I received as a review event item was the Speculux 1000, which is for light pore management, the Speculux 3000 product may provide greater satisfaction.) The price, including the 2-step ampoule, is 5,000 won per individual item. While it is not an exorbitantly expensive gel mask, personally, I would feel a bit reluctant to pay the full price for a single pack. However, as it is a product to be used periodically rather than daily, I think it would be worth trying if there is an event.
TipSince the 1000-person and 3000-person Speculer products have the same price, I think I will try the 3000 product next time to ensure a definite effect. (The packages look the same, so you need to check carefully.) It's best to use it when your skin condition is good.

That was included separately, and I really liked it. The next day, it felt like my makeup was absorbing better..? And the packaging was clean and simple! I think it would make a great gift for a friend who loves face masks. Other than that, I'm not too sure.ㅠㅠ
ConsThe reason I gave it 3 stars is that it takes too long to become transparent when you're supposed to peel it off..ㅠㅠ.. My boyfriend only had it on for about 10-15 minutes and then he took it off because his face was itchy. (My boyfriend is sensitive to things on his face) And the price is also too high compared to the face masks I usually use..And the mask keeps sliding off...? The ones I normally use don't slide off even when I'm doing things, but this one kept sliding down.ㅠㅠ...That's why I gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!
TipTry putting it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before using it - the cooling sensation is amazing~

It's so convenient that you don't have to buy ampoules separately. The amount of ampoule in each use is just perfect. The scent is not overpowering or irritating, and you may even forget what it smells like after some time. The mask adheres perfectly to the face and doesn't drip off even when sitting and working.
ConsI was hoping the mask would become transparent as it absorbed, but it doesn't seem to be absorbing very well! It says it can take up to 40 minutes, but if you leave it on for longer than that, your face starts to get itchy.
TipDuring the cooler seasons like now, rather than using it, it would be better to store it in the refrigerator and use it in the summer when your pores are more enlarged.

STEP 1 is to apply the ampoule, and STEP 2 is to do the face mask. The first ampoule stings a little when applied! But I felt like my skin was getting better, so I was happy about it ㅎㅎ I evenly applied the stinging ampoule and then put on the second step, the face mask. At first, it was a bit of a struggle to attach the mask ㅠㅠ The face mask has a chewy, supple texture, like jelly. When I put it on, it felt like a face mask had been formed, which was fun ㅋㅋ I didn't notice a huge difference after taking off the mask, just that my skin felt a bit more moisturized. But the next day, my skin was amazing. My makeup applied so well. It's not the cheapest, at around 4,000 won per sheet. But considering the results, I would definitely repurchase!! I think it would be great to use before an important day. I'll mention the downside below, but when using the mask, you have to sit still and lie down quietly. But during that time, I felt like I was being pampered, which was nice ㅋㅋ
ConsThe downsides are very clear: 1. The stinging sensation may be difficult for those with sensitive skin. My skin is quite insensitive, so the herbal microneedle treatment at the dermatologist's office wasn't that painful for me. Compared to that, it's just an itchy level, but it could be startling for someone experiencing it for the first time. It says on the back of the product that it can be used by those with sensitive skin, but I can't recommend it. 2. The stinging sensation lasts for a day or two! I often used it to write Hwahae Trial Reviewer reviews, but couldn't use it every day. For a day or two, the stinging sensation would remain, and I didn't want to apply more on top of that. The second pack especially stung around the delicate eye area, which is already thin-skinned, so it felt quite prickly when touched. 3. I've only ever used sheet masks before, so this rubbery-type pack was a first for me. While wearing the pack, I tried to do things like paint my nails or clean the house, but the pack is heavy and keeps sliding down. You have to just lie down the whole time. If you sit up, you can feel your face sliding down. 4. The pack time is quite long! Regular sheet masks are usually around 20 minutes, but this product says 30 minutes (some say even over 40 minutes). It's not a fixed time, it's kind of ambiguous - it says until it becomes transparent, but even after 45-50 minutes, I'm still not sure when it's fully absorbed. I kept the pack on for a long time but eventually gave up waiting for it to become transparent. And because of the 3rd issue, having to lie down for over 30 minutes gets tiring and sleepy, and as someone who likes to multitask during a mask, the time feels wasted. 5. The application instructions are not very clear. As I mentioned, I've only used sheet masks before, so the split top and bottom design was unfamiliar to me. The small diagram confused me at first, and I ended up sticking the chin part to my forehead. The pack is sandwiched between a stiff plastic and a thin film, and it's not obvious which side to apply. I still don't understand the reason behind it. It would have been better if the instructions had explained it. Oh, and the plastic was really hard to peel off - I almost ended up cutting the pack itself trying to tear it open with scissors at first.

And it felt like it was managing my skin systematically, which I liked. While it wasn't for a long period, when I used it consistently for about 2 weeks during the summer, I could see my enlarged pores tightening up! The mask is separated into top and bottom layers, so it wraps around the face better. When the mask is fully absorbed, it becomes transparent, which makes it easy to tell when it's done.
ConsYou need to make sure the ampoule is fully absorbed before applying the mask, or else the mask won't stick well. The cheek area wasn't absorbing as much, so I had to keep the mask on for a long time, and the chin area started to feel a bit itchy, though it wasn't too severe. Just something to keep in mind.
TipI'd recommend placing the eye patches on top of the laugh lines to fill in any gaps. For those with dry skin, I suggest applying an extra layer of cream after removing the mask.

I was very interested in the Needle Shot, and the Specular Ampoule seemed similar in effect. The amount of ampoule was good, and it felt like I was getting professional skincare treatment at a dermatologist.
ConsAlthough my face is not particularly large, the sheet mask was smaller than expected. It was fine for me, but my boyfriend said it started to feel itchy after about 20 minutes of use, so if you have sensitive skin, it might be better to remove it a little earlier than 30 minutes. And even though I have oily skin, there were some drier areas after removing the mask. The price is also a bit disappointing.
TipSince there was a lot of ampoule, I used an appropriate amount before applying the sheet mask, and used the remaining ampoule the next evening before my skincare routine. That seemed to work well. The mask did cling to the eye and lip areas, but you can just tear off those parts instead of throwing the whole mask away. It's a good idea to stick those torn-off pieces on your neck.
