This sensation continues even when applying cream. However, after using it for a day or two, I'm delighted to wake up to incredibly smooth skin texture. I plan to keep using it consistently!
ConsThe only downside was the slight tingling sensation, but that's unavoidable with this type of product.

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.

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.

I hadn't tried the famous VT product, but after using another spicule product and experiencing smoother skin the next day, I became interested in spicules. That's when I decided to try Damton. I've been testing it periodically based on my skin's condition each day. Curious about Damton, I discovered it's based on a signature treatment called Coratherapy from a specialized scar treatment clinic. This treatment uses acuneedles (spicules) to untangle collagen in scars and promote skin regeneration. Damton Pore Toning Acu Essence is essentially a home care version of this treatment, made with exosome ampoules! As a spicule essence, its acu-needles are 22 times smaller than pores and twice as long (15μm) as regular spicules, allowing for deeper and more delicate penetration to promote skin turnover. I use it 1-2 times a week, applying a thin layer carefully, especially when my skin feels particularly dry. Personally, I'm okay with the slight tingling sensation and apply it from the inside of my face outwards, following the skin's texture. Compared to other products I've used, it's much less irritating, making it easier to use regularly. With my combination skin - oily T-zone, enlarged pores in the butterfly zone, and dry, flaky U-zone - I've struggled to find effective products. But this one seems promising. While it's not a daily product for me and I need to use it more to see full results, I'm hopeful it might make my pores disappear like magic!
ConsI wish I could use it daily, but I'm hesitant due to potential irritation.
TipUsing it consistently as the first step in my nighttime skincare routine has made my skin noticeably smoother! It's great for prepping skin for makeup the next day.

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

I've tried other brands' retinol products, but they were more tingling than the 300. At first, I was surprised, but after applying it with a rolling motion and then layering a slightly rich cream on top, I helped it absorb. The next day, my skin wasn't oily but hydrated and smooth - it almost felt too good to wash! With other brands' retinol shots, my skin felt irritated when washing the next day, as if it hadn't absorbed properly. But with the Damton essence, there was no stinging during cleansing, and the hydration effects were excellent.
ConsI was concerned about whether it's safe to use daily, as it seems quite potent. For The Hwahae Testers review, I applied 3 pumps daily on my cheeks and forehead. Since I didn't experience any blemishes, it seems okay for daily use.
TipAfter gently prepping my skin with toner, I apply the Damton essence, pressing it into my skin. When the essence is almost dry, I layer on a regenerating cream. Alternating between rolling and pressing motions seems to help the ginseng needles absorb better!

It's like a gentler version of the famous 100-needle shot treatment. I love how it makes my pores look smoother and more refined. I had some small bumps on my chin, but after rolling this on and sleeping, they disappeared by morning. It's not irritating, and the ginseng exosomes seem to boost skin's resilience, which is fantastic. The texture absorbs quickly into the skin without running. Plus, the pump dispenser makes it really convenient to use.
ConsIt can feel a bit drying, so you might want to follow up with a deeply hydrating moisturizer.
TipThis essence works hard to improve your complexion, making it a great addition to your daily skincare routine, especially if you're dealing with blemishes or uneven skin tone.

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!

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.
