I have combination skin, and while the rich texture works well for my T-zone, it made my philtrum and chin extremely oily! Absorption: Due to its thick consistency, it took a while to absorb. When it's hot and I'm sweating, it seems to take even longer. Why I was satisfied: I applied it morning and evening after cleansing. For the first week, my pores seemed to shrink a bit, though not dramatically. However, I noticed that my dark spots and blemishes became less noticeable! The next morning, my T-zone didn't feel tight at all. I was really impressed by how it provided just the right amount of hydration!
ConsPoints of disappointment: The rich texture might have caused some blemishes, but I think the first few days are an adjustment period! The scent is slightly tart, like lemon, which might be hit or miss for some people. I think it might not work well for those with oily skin. If not absorbed properly, it can cause makeup to pill. Other than that, everything else was great!
TipI applied a smaller amount on my philtrum! And I made sure to pat it in generously on my cheeks.

It's not tacky at all and leaves my skin feeling wonderfully moisturized. As someone with severe deep dryness, I'm thrilled with how well this product hydrates and moisturizes. It completely eliminates any feeling of dryness! I highly recommend this to anyone dealing with extreme dehydration (though I suggest using it as part of your nighttime routine).
ConsThe scent might be quite polarizing - you'll either love it or hate it. I'd recommend applying this in the evening rather than the morning. It takes a bit of time to absorb, so if you use it during a busy morning routine, you might experience some pilling with your makeup.
TipWhen my skin feels tight due to deep dryness, I generously apply this before bed. By morning, my skin feels incredibly hydrated and supple.

I just got back from a local trip where I spent time in the water, soaked up too much sun, and my sunscreen wore off. My skin was looking a bit red and my pores were more noticeable than usual. So, I slathered this on generously before bed. I deliberately used only this product to test its effectiveness, and wow, what a difference when I woke up! My skin felt hydrated and firm. Visually, my pores seemed less pronounced than the day before, and the redness had almost completely vanished. I've tried quite a few pore-focused creams, and this one's definitely top-tier. I knew tannins were good for pores and I've used chestnut tannin products before, but banana-derived tannin is a novel approach. Plus, I was pleasantly surprised by the scent. I'm not a fan of banana fragrance, so I was relieved to find it has a nice herbal aroma instead. The texture is incredibly smooth and moisturizing. It strikes a good balance between oil and hydration, though those with extremely oily skin might find it a tad rich. I'd recommend this for dry, normal, combination dehydrated, and combination skin types like mine.
ConsThe absorption is a bit on the slower side. I'm not sure if it's because I apply it so generously at night, but it doesn't sink in super quickly. That's why I'd recommend using it as a night cream rather than in the morning. If you need to apply it in the morning, give it some time to absorb before applying makeup to avoid any pilling. The jar packaging is slightly inconvenient. It's not the easiest to use hygienically, and you really should use a spatula. As someone who finds spatulas a hassle, I wish it came in a tube format.
TipIf you're concerned about your pores, I highly recommend giving this a try. It's really effective for sun-induced enlarged pores, redness, and overheated skin. My husband has dry skin that's sensitive to sun exposure, and he complained about his skin feeling irritated after our trip. I applied this cream on him at night, and he said his skin felt much better the next day.

It's not sticky. The effects are great. It absorbs well into the skin.
ConsIt seems to cause a slight tingling sensation. It feels a bit oily. There's some pilling.

It feels lightweight when applied, resting comfortably on the skin without feeling heavy, making it easy to use without any burden. It's also effortless to spread with your fingers. Scent It has a subtle, pleasant fragrance reminiscent of fresh fruits. The scent isn't artificial or overpowering, making it relatively suitable even for those with sensitive skin. Hydration The moisturizing power is impressive - apply it before bed, and your skin still feels hydrated the next morning. It gives a sensation of deep hydration, as if moisture has penetrated to the innermost layers of the skin. This would be especially effective for dry skin types! After-use feel and pores Immediately after use, the skin feels firmer and smoother. While pore improvement isn't immediately noticeable, you might need to use it consistently for about a month to see results.
ConsCaution for sensitive skin If used after exfoliation (like with a peeling gel), it may cause a slight burning sensation on the skin. Oily skin types For those with oily skin, it might feel a bit heavy and could potentially lead to some shine after use. Especially when used in the morning during summer, it might cause makeup to slide off.
TipSleeping pack tip After completing a simple skincare routine, apply this product generously before going to bed. The next day, your skin will feel soft and soothed, giving a sense of improvement.

I used this product for about 2 weeks from May 18th to June 1st. Using the included spoon, I applied a small amount as the final step in my skincare routine. I focused on areas with larger pores like my nose, butterfly zone, and T-zone, then lightly spread the remaining product over the rest of my face. First off, I was pleasantly surprised by how gentle it was. Despite containing retinol, which I thought might be harsh, it applied smoothly without any irritation. It didn't cause any blemishes, stinging, or redness. After consistent use for two weeks, my skin texture improved significantly. Previously, I only had good skin days about 4 times a month, but after using this cream, my skin became smoother and softer. Additionally, I noticed a reduction in my small bumps. Interestingly, the rate at which sebum accumulated in my pores also decreased. Usually, even after cleaning my pores, they would fill up again by the next evening. However, after regularly using this cream, this process slowed down considerably. It's only been two weeks, so I can't speak to its effects on pore size and acne scars yet, but I'm very satisfied with the results I've seen so far. I recommend applying a thin layer using just a small scoop from the spoon, rather than slathering it on. Consistency in application seems to be key.
ConsIt might sting a bit if applied to open wounds, so it's best to avoid those areas. As it can cause pilling under makeup, I'd suggest using it for night care or during the day when you're not wearing makeup.

A zesty, refreshing lemon scent! It makes me feel invigorated too! Packaging Design There's a protective seal, which allows for much cleaner and more hygienic use!! The spatula is also super handy! Gentle Ingredients I didn't experience any blemishes at all! Usually, functional creams tend to cause slight tingling or blemishes, but this one was fine, probably because the ingredients are so gentle! Improves Skin Texture I sometimes have acne scars or rough skin texture due to dryness, but this rich product covers it all up perfectly!! Recent marks have disappeared, and it even refines my skin texture!
ConsPore Minimizing Despite being called a pore cream, I didn't really see any effect on my pores... Pores are especially noticeable in summer, so the results were disappointing! Product Texture May Be Divisive It's extremely rich, so I probably won't reach for it much in summer! I have dry skin so I'll use it well, but in midsummer I'll likely only apply it before bed! It might also cause pilling with sunscreen...
TipThe product being reviewed appears to be a moisturizing cream with pore-minimizing claims. The reviewer appreciates its lemon scent, hygienic packaging, gentle formulation, and ability to improve skin texture and cover imperfections. However, they found it less effective for pore reduction and note that its rich texture might not be suitable for all skin types, especially in summer.
