Those with super sensitive skin might be a bit startled at first, but since I mainly use it in my nightly skincare routine, it wasn't too bothersome for me. As my skin adapted, I noticed the sensation becoming less intense over time. What I was most satisfied with was its effectiveness in pore care. I usually have large pores and uneven skin texture that concern me, but after using this product for a few days, I definitely felt my skin texture becoming more refined and my pores visibly tightened. I'd recommend this to anyone dealing with pore issues. The scent is a subtle ginseng fragrance, which feels natural and not off-putting. In fact, the herbal aroma gives me the impression that I'm applying something beneficial to my skin. I was quite pleased with it. What I loved most was how it revitalized my skin's glow. When I look in the mirror the next morning, my skin has a subtle radiance, and there's a noticeable improvement in my overall complexion - it looks clearer and healthier. My makeup applies better, and my skin itself feels more balanced, which greatly increased my satisfaction. So far, I haven't experienced any blemishes or irritation, and my skin feels comfortable after use, so I plan to continue using it. With these results, I'm **100% likely to repurchase**. Overall Review: Texture: Characteristic tingling from micro-needles (especially during first use) Scent: Ginseng aroma, may not be for everyone but natural and not overwhelming Effects: Definite pore tightening, skin texture refinement, and glow enhancement Recommended for: Those concerned about pores/uneven texture, looking for a night-time essence
ConsThe pump-style container made it a bit tricky to apply directly to the face at first, but I've gotten used to it now and it's fine

Above all, the gentle ingredients were perfect for my sensitive skin. After using it, I noticed a visible improvement in my skin condition and a reduction in pores. We often use microneedle products to help other skincare ingredients absorb better, and this product paired exceptionally well with my brightening vitamin products. Thank you for creating such a great product!
ConsI honestly didn't find any drawbacks while using this product.

It applies lightly and absorbs rapidly, leaving a fresh finish. Having used various pore products like MTS, needle shots, and air shots, I'm accustomed to them, so I didn't find it particularly stinging on my skin. Compared to other products, I felt it was less irritating. The needle sensation lasts until the next day's cleansing, and after washing, my skin texture feels smoother, and makeup applies better than usual. It was more effective for pores than needle shots or air shots, with noticeably reduced pore size. My skin looks brighter, and even those bothersome blemishes seem slightly faded. While it's effective, it's actually less irritating, and it even helped calm skin bumps and redness. My skin feels firmer, and my overall skin condition has improved.
ConsThere weren't any major drawbacks with the product. In fact, I used it so satisfactorily that I wish there was a larger size available!
TipMoisturizing after application is essential. For those with super sensitive skin, it's better to adjust the frequency of use to 2-3 times a week rather than daily.

Its low viscosity allows it to penetrate without any sticky feeling, resulting in a light and comfortable application. Benefits Users report that it effectively manages pores, visibly reducing their appearance, and provides a brightening effect that evens out the complexion! While I haven't personally noticed significant changes in my skin yet, it seems to regulate excess sebum production, making it suitable for oily skin types.
ConsDrawbacks For those with dry skin, using this product alone may not provide sufficient hydration. Especially for extremely dry skin types, you might need to pair it with additional moisturizing and soothing products. If you have super sensitive skin like me, I'd recommend patch testing first. I experienced quite a bit of tingling, and noticed my face becoming red during application.
TipOverall Assessment This product is primarily suitable for oily and combination skin types looking for pore management and complexion improvement. It's recommended for those who prefer a fresh finish! If you typically respond well to niacinamide, you're likely to be satisfied with this product!

I was so impressed after using it that I wrote nearly 1000 characters, but the app crashed and I lost everything. It's truly disheartening when that happens, but I'll muster up the strength to write again... For my age, I have rather large pores in my T-zone. In the third photo, you can see small dots on the left - those are my pores... There's even some light hair there... haha. That's why I always choose essences and masks that focus on pore care, but until now, no product had visibly reduced my pores. However, I saw pore-reducing effects with the Damton essence that I hadn't seen even with famous brand essences and masks... It was truly amazing... On the first day, I didn't notice much pore reduction, but when I woke up the next morning, my skin texture had improved so much! Excited, I used it every day, and around day 5, I started to feel like my pores were shrinking. After that, I noticed continuous, visible improvement in my pores. Now, after using it for over two weeks, my skin looks like it does in the fourth photo! Considering it's bare skin, I think it's improved significantly compared to the third photo... This product is truly outstanding when it comes to improving pores and skin texture... The needles have also helped with pigmentation, and I definitely want to repurchase it when I run out. If you're looking for a functional essence, I wholeheartedly recommend this! +) The product packaging design is also clean and pretty! The color combination is easy on the eyes. Since I keep all my skincare products on my vanity, I've realized that design is surprisingly important... haha
ConsIf I had to pick something, I'd say it's less rich compared to other essence products. Essences typically have a characteristic oiliness, but this product feels about 20% less hydrating and 40% less rich. I would have liked to feel more skin barrier support and moisturization at the essence stage! However, since moisturization can be sufficiently provided at the cream stage, it's hard to consider this a major drawback. The product's functionality (especially for pores and skin texture) is so excellent that it makes up for the moisturization aspect...
TipI unknowingly used this great essence every day, but when I checked the product page, I found out that applying it once every 2-3 days is sufficient! This is because the needles remain active in the skin for 72 hours. After learning this, I decided to apply it every other day from yesterday... If I had known it stays active in the skin for 72 hours, I wouldn't have applied this wonderful essence daily... Oh, what a waste... Oh! And for those with super sensitive skin + those new to needle cosmetics, I recommend this pattern: apply it once, then again 3 days later, then again 3 days after that, and then switch to every other day. For those with super sensitive skin trying needle cosmetics for the first time, I think it's best to give your skin at least a week to adapt. But honestly, while I'm not super sensitive, I do have sensitive skin, and this is my first time using needle cosmetics, but I've never had any skin reactions even with daily use! Still, I'm cautiously adding this advice in case it might help those with extremely sensitive skin...

I was skeptical at first, but after using it, I'm so satisfied that I wish I could have used it longer before writing this review (I only used it for 7 evenings due to the review deadline as a Hwahae Tester). My cheeks are particularly prone to visible pores, and while a week's use didn't make them disappear completely, I can definitely feel my pores tightening up! It also helps improve skin texture. Knowing that ginseng exosomes enter the skin through micro-holes created by spicules makes me feel like I'm getting a professional dermatology treatment. I'm not usually one to put much faith in functional skincare, so I'm a bit disappointed I didn't take a 'before' photo. I'll definitely be repurchasing this!
ConsThere's a slight tingling sensation when applying, but I consider this a characteristic of the product rather than a drawback. Even after applying essence post-evening cleanse and letting it absorb, I still feel a slight tingling the next morning during my skincare routine. I checked the website and found out it's because the spicules survive for about 72 hours. So, it wasn't really bothersome. The ginseng scent, which some people love and others hate, wasn't overpowering for me, so I was fine with it!
TipFor first-time users, I recommend using it every other day! Once you get used to the sensation, you can use it daily without feeling uncomfortable about the tingling. Also, I suggest applying a hydrating essence all over your face first, then using this essence only on areas where you're concerned about pores, followed by your moisturizer. This targeted application on problem areas after using a general essence is a great approach!

What I loved: 1. It's not drying This is my second time using a needle-type essence, and while some can leave my skin feeling a bit dry after use, the Damton essence doesn't do that at all! 2. Reduces dead skin cells I could definitely tell that my makeup applied better the next day, and I felt like there were fewer dead skin cells, making my skin texture noticeably smoother. + Pore-minimizing effect? While a week is too short to see all the effects, I feel like my pores might be less visible...? I think I'll need to use it a bit longer and leave an additional review!
ConsFor those who've never used this type of needle essence before, the sensation might feel unfamiliar and potentially irritating at first! But once you get used to it, you might even crave a stronger sensation...?! Also, the slight ginseng scent might be hit or miss for some people.
TipWhen I use needle-type essences, I always follow up with a thick, rich cream, and my skin looks amazing the next day!! I'd recommend a heavier, oil-based cream rather than a light gel texture for best 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.ProsI was concerned about how to manage my already enlarged pores in the T-zone. I decided to try the Damtone Essence because it promised direct help for pores with its acu-needle technology and care for damaged skin with ginseng exosomes. After using it for two weeks, while I can't say the enlarged pores visibly reduced, what impressed me most was how incredibly soft my skin felt during cleansing the next day! Rather than directly shrinking pores, it seems to be great for overall skin texture management. It also had good hydrating effects, so I didn't experience any tightness after use. I think this would be an excellent starter product for those new to pore care.
ConsThe downside for me was that the needle itself seemed a bit irritating. While I didn't experience any blemishes, my super sensitive skin felt a stinging sensation during application. Those with sensitive skin might need to be cautious.
TipFor those with sensitive skin like mine who still want to try a needle essence, I recommend patting it in rather than rubbing. It's much less irritating and causes less tingling!

No stickiness or heaviness. The fragrance-free formula was inoffensive. Experience: It feels stronger than the Daiso 300. I used it once every 5 days and noticed improved pore elasticity and healing of troubled skin! The next day, I definitely felt a smoother texture. Even with my sensitive skin, I had no issues, likely due to the good ingredients.
ConsThere aren't really any cons, but if I had to mention something: Tingling: As mentioned earlier, it tingles a bit more than Daiso 300. It's best to start with cheeks or nose area, and if it feels okay, apply to the whole face. Quantity: The product comes out in small amounts, so I needed to pump 2.5 to 3 times. (The photo shows one pump.) While it might seem pricey for the quantity, I'd likely repurchase after finishing it.
TipI always follow up with a mask after using this spicule treatment. It feels like the mask ingredients penetrate better, and I've heard it's important to moisturize well afterwards. I recommend using the spicule treatment at night rather than in the morning, followed by a mask! I spaced out my treatments to every 5 days, but using it every 3 days should be fine too.

Compared to the famous BYT LDS 100, I found Damton to be less painful. However, I noticed that Damton had a lingering tingling sensation until the next morning's cleanse. Damton seems more effective for pores than BYT. After reading reviews, I used it every 2-3 days. While the before and after difference isn't dramatic, my enlarged pores appear more refined. Makeup definitely applies more smoothly now. I'm eager to continue using it consistently. In the photos, #4 is before use, and #5 is the most recent application. If you look at the butterfly zone on the left cheek, you can see the slightly stretched pores have become more circular. Hyperpigmentation has lightened a bit, and blemishes have calmed down too.
ConsThere weren't any significant downsides. No blemishes appeared. The only minor issue might be that the container lid is a bit stiff to open.
TipI applied an extra layer on areas with pore and hyperpigmentation concerns. It seems to be effective on emerging pimples and dark spots too. I'm planning to keep using it regularly!
