The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions.

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!

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.

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.ProsSkin type: Occasional acne, enlarged pores, combination dehydrated skin 1. Texture: Not drying and non-sticky. Feels like a very light gel (lighter texture than other brands' Riddle Shot 100) 👍 2. Application: True to its name as an essence, it absorbs lightly 👍 3. Blemish-calming effect: No new blemishes appeared when using this product. Feels generally suitable 4. Packaging: Good grip. Solid transparent lid. Pump dispenses easily with minimal pressure 👍
Cons1. Pore-refining effect: Minimal effect on tightening pores. (This might vary individually, but my pores are quite large so I didn't notice much difference) 2. Hydration: The light texture provides quick hydration, but for combination dehydrated skin types, additional moisturizing is needed soon after 3. Sensitivity: Less tingling than other brands' 500, but more than their 100. Might be challenging for those with super sensitive skin
TipNot recommended for those who find other brands' Riddle Shot 100 tingling For combination dehydrated skin, suggest using as a night treatment paired with a rich cream

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.ProsThis product has been a real game-changer for me. I've been struggling for months with a compromised skin barrier, resulting in red acne, milia, and various blemishes. I've tried numerous products, seeing improvements only to face setbacks again. Having previously experienced positive results with another brand's needle essence sample, I decided to give the Damton essence a try. Thanks to this, my skin is gradually improving. What I love most is how it applies without any stickiness, and despite being moisturizing, it doesn't leave an oily residue. It absorbs well, like a hydrating cream, so my hair doesn't stick to my face when I sleep. Plus, I can layer any cream over it without pilling issues. Some might experience a slight tingling sensation when first applying, but for me, it was just a mild tingle with no adverse reactions the next day. For those wary of clinical treatments or looking for a gentler approach, starting with the Damton essence could be an excellent choice.
ConsCompared to similar packaging designs, the opening of this container is particularly inconvenient. The product always gets stuck around the rim when dispensing. They should consider extending or raising the nozzle to improve usability. Also, the packaging seems quite similar to other brands in the market. It would be nice if Damton could create a more distinctive look that reflects their unique brand identity.
TipEven if you don't see immediate results, stick with it for a few days! Consistency is key!

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.ProsTexture and application: The consistency is just right - not too thick, not too thin. I heard that spicule products work best when patted on, so I applied it by patting instead of rolling from the start. It didn't feel sticky and seemed to absorb well into my skin. One thing that puzzled me was that I'd heard spicule products can sting when applied, so I was a bit nervous. Strangely enough, I didn't feel any stinging sensation at all. I have thin, sensitive skin, so I'm not sure if the lack of stinging is a good thing or not. Moisturization: Even when I only applied this product, my face didn't feel tight. However, being an ampoule, it didn't give me that super hydrated feeling either. Scent: It seems unscented, but I think I detect a slight rubber-like smell. Maybe I'm just imagining it because I'm paying extra attention to the scent. It wasn't noticeable enough to be bothersome.
ConsI have some visible pores around my nose area, so I was hoping for pore improvement and lifting effects. But so far, I'm not impressed. As I mentioned earlier, I didn't feel any stinging sensation when applying it. I'm not sure if that's why, but I can't really tell if it's working. It might show results with continued use, but considering the price versus the effects so far, I wouldn't recommend it.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.Pros- Texture: A bouncy soothing gel that's not too runny but has a nice consistency - Hydration: Barely feels oily, with moisture that seems to quickly penetrate deep into the skin - Application: Has a soft and lightweight texture that finishes fresh on the skin without stickiness. Despite being a needle essence, it applies smoothly and doesn't feel burdensome to use - Irritation: Hardly felt any strong irritation. There's a slight tingling during application, but personally, it wasn't very painful After using it in the evening, I could feel my skin becoming softer and having a subtle glow the next day
Cons- Price point The effects like improving elasticity or skin regeneration can be noticeably felt only with consistent use. Satisfaction might be low with short-term use, so long-term care is needed, but the price point might be a bit burdensome for some - Needle residue While most of the needles dissolve and absorb into the skin, you might occasionally feel a slight residue. This might be felt more strongly especially if you have dry or sensitive skin, so it's better to use it after applying a light base
Tip1. Make sure to apply a regenerating cream after using the product. If you don't have one, a regular cream or emulsion works too 2. Gently roll to help the needles absorb well into the skin. The more you do it, the better 3. As skin sensitivity can vary, I recommend doing a patch test with a small amount first

It wasn't bothersome at all. - It absorbs well into the skin with a smooth application. The texture isn't thick, but rather moisturizing and absorbs nicely without feeling sticky, which I really appreciated. - It provides a decent amount of hydration, so after skincare, my skin doesn't feel tight. It also offers a good level of moisture. - After using it for nearly a week, I noticed a significant reduction in my pores! I woke up to find my skin texture had improved, becoming smoother. I think with consistent use, you'll definitely see results!
ConsI didn't really have any complaints. The only potential issue is that since it's in a pump bottle, it might be difficult to get the last bits out when it's almost empty.
TipYou need to adjust the amount you use based on your skin's condition each day. If your skin isn't in great shape and you use too much, you might face consequences the next day... I'd recommend starting with two pumps and seeing how it goes!

TipAs I have super sensitive skin, the essence feels slightly warm when applied. I had high expectations, but the effects were minimal, which is a bit of a letdown.

With consistent use, I noticed my skin becoming more comfortable and regenerated, with a reduction in redness. The ultra-fine needles in this essence work to regenerate the skin, and I felt a real improvement in my pores!! The next morning during cleansing, my skin definitely felt smoother. What I appreciated most was how quickly it absorbs and doesn't leave any sticky residue, being an essence and all.
ConsAt first, I was worried the tingling sensation might cause a skin reaction, but fortunately, it seemed to suit my skin well and didn't cause any irritation. However, those with super sensitive skin should be cautious!
TipFor those with sensitive skin, try applying a thin layer of the essence, then top it with a hydrating moisturizer before bed. This method might help prevent any adverse reactions while still allowing you to experience the benefits.

When I got this essence through The Hwahae Testers program, I applied it diligently, hoping it might help fade some blemish marks. Despite my initial concerns due to my sensitive skin, I was pleasantly surprised. The texture felt nice, it was hydrating without being sticky, which I really appreciated. I was also worried about a strong herbal scent due to the ginseng, but it only had a very subtle ginseng aroma, making it easy to apply without any aversion.
ConsThe downside was that after a period of calm skin, a large pimple suddenly appeared between my eyebrows. I stopped using it and let my sister try it instead. Interestingly, she didn't experience any blemishes and actually said her skin felt smoother the next day. It seems to be a case of individual skin differences.
TipI'd recommend doing a patch test first before applying it all over your face.
