I saw amazing results for pore reduction, but it's tricky to wholeheartedly recommend since it doesn't work well on its own! I'll share my detailed review and the method that worked for me below. My skin type is combination dehydrated with enlarged pores, mild acne, and some acne scars and hyperpigmentation. The scent is refreshing and minty, but not overpowering or harsh, which is quite pleasant. Texture-wise, it's called an ampoule, but it's more like a slightly viscous toner or essence that flows easily. It absorbs into the skin without any stickiness or slipperiness, leaving a fresh feeling. It felt too light to use as an ampoule, so I applied it as a toner after my exfoliating toner, then layered other ampoules on top. It doesn't provide intense hydration, so it might be great for combination or oily skin types. For pore reduction and effectiveness, I used this as a toner substitute and then applied my regular pore-targeting ampoule with a slightly sticky, skin-firming finish on top. Surprisingly, while my original pore ampoule didn't show results even after six months of use, I noticed visible pore reduction about three weeks after incorporating this product into my routine. I even tried it with a different firming ampoule and still saw pore reduction. It seems to work synergistically with skin-firming products! However, when I ran out of the firming ampoule and used this product alone for about a month, my pores started reverting to their original state. I didn't notice any pore-reducing effects when using this product by itself. I'm planning to repurchase a firming ampoule to use in combination with this one again.
ConsIt's disappointing that the product doesn't seem to deliver its main benefit of pore reduction when used alone.

However, if you apply more than a certain amount, it seems like the skin can't absorb it all. And when you open the cap, there's this refreshing mint scent... so cool! It gives you the feeling that your pores might feel refreshed too. The biggest advantage of this product? The baby bottle-shaped container. It's like they've taken all the best features of a dropper and put them into this container. When you think about typical ampoule containers, you usually have to squeeze the dropper two or three times to get enough product for your whole face. But with this one, there's no need for that. It's so much more convenient! The large body of the dropper allows you to dispense the desired amount in one go. But you know what's even better? You can also control the amount precisely. The body isn't too flimsy or too rigid, so the ampoule won't suddenly squirt out or dispense too much at once. It has just the right amount of softness, allowing for precise control. As someone who really dislikes sticky products, I've been using this as a toner. After applying my regular toner, this product made my face feel too slippery and sticky. Since it has a toner-like consistency anyway, I decided to use it as a toner, and it's not bad at all.
ConsThe most disappointing aspect... it's supposed to be a pore-related product, but it has no effect on pores! I'm not sure if it's because I don't have particularly prominent pores, but I saw absolutely no effect on my pores. So I'm just using it as a substitute for a hydrating toner. I guess because the price is low, the effects aren't really visible.

A pore-targeting ampoule for just 5000 won? Incredible! It doesn't cause any blemishes or skin reactions. There's a subtle mint fragrance, and the consistency feels just right for an ampoule, though slightly on the thinner side.
ConsI'll need to use it longer to be sure, but there's no dramatic effect so far. It feels more like a light hydrating essence rather than a dedicated pore-targeting ampoule.

It applies smoothly and absorbs well. Plus, it has a lovely scent! I started using it because my pores, blemishes, and blackheads have gotten worse lately, and it's surprisingly good! It seems to be effective! If you haven't tried anything else, this might be worth a shot! The mini size is cute, and the case design is pretty too!
ConsBeing a Daiso product, it feels like the quantity is a bit small. I wish it had even better results, even if it cost a bit more.
TipFor best results, do a warm compress, take care of blackheads (after cleansing thoroughly), then apply the pore ampoule in that order! Don't forget to exfoliate those dead skin cells too!
