Prone to developing small bumps when using ingredients like cyclo~, dimethicone, stearic acid that can clog pores. Sensitive to citrus (tingles around philtrum). Small bumps on cheeks and large pores around butterfly zone. ✔️ Pore Elasticity I've used this product twice after receiving it as a Hwahae Tester. The photos show before use, immediately after, and the next day. This is a home-care MTS product that stimulates the skin surface with needles, then helps absorb the active ingredients from the ampoule. While I had high hopes for pore reduction, pores don't shrink overnight. However, as you can see in the photos, there was a noticeable improvement in pore elasticity. Since even one dermatological treatment can't dramatically reduce pores, I recommend using this for pore maintenance rather than expecting immediate pore reduction. ✔️ Gentle Ampoule I was worried about stinging since it involves creating micro-injuries on the skin before applying the ampoule, but I didn't experience any stinging or itching. The ampoule ingredients are mild, which I appreciated. However, I didn't notice any specific pore-tightening ingredients in the ampoule, so I think it would be great if they considered this in future reformulations. ✔️ Portability It's smaller than I expected, making it perfect for travel. You can easily maintain your pores even on summer trips when they tend to enlarge. After two uses, I noticed a slight improvement in pore elasticity. Despite having sensitive skin, I could use it without major irritation. I recommend this for those looking for pore maintenance rather than dramatic pore reduction.
Cons✔️ Price Considering there are many specialized spicule-type cosmetics for pore care available these days, the price might be a burden for consistent use. While it's more effective than products like Riddle Shot, it's still on the pricier side for regular use. ✔️ Pilling The most inconvenient issue I encountered was the ampoule pilling. When applying the ampoule with the stamp and then trying to spread it with hands, it would bunch up and pill, coming off like dead skin cells. This was particularly annoying around the edges of the face, so please keep this in mind.
Tip🍯 After applying the ampoule, wait for it to absorb, then apply an essence with cell-regenerating ingredients for even better pore care.

I was worried it might be too harsh, but perhaps because my skin isn't particularly sensitive, the intensity wasn't overwhelming. Any marks or burning sensations subsided quickly. I think the microneedles could be a bit stronger. The serum is rich and plentiful, allowing for multiple layers of application.
ConsI wish the serum container was a bit softer. When layering multiple times on the same area, there was some pilling.
TipTo minimize irritation when massaging after applying the serum, make sure to squeeze out plenty of product and apply generously. If you apply too little and rub it in roughly, it may cause more irritation.

The comfortable application made for a pleasant experience. The ampoule ingredients worked wonders for my skin! I noticed improvements in pore reduction and overall skin texture. The stamp format is hygienic! I appreciated that it absorbs without needing to use your hands.
ConsProduct and sheet mask compatibility: The instructions suggest using it with a sheet mask, but I didn't notice a significant difference when I tried this combination. There was some pilling, similar to dead skin cells coming off! Keep in mind this may vary depending on your skin type and condition.
TipA hydrating essence is a must for dry skin! My routine was toner - this product - hydrating essence - emulsion. I've included a photo with a ring for size reference! There's more essence left than you might expect given the needle size, so I recommend gently pressing the stamp into your skin to help it absorb.

I was skeptical about its effectiveness given how small it is, but when you combine the ampoule tube with the head cap and gently press, the ampoule comes out. The ampoule is clear and hydrating, making it easy to massage into the skin. It's lightweight with a consistency slightly thicker than a toner. At first, I forgot to press firmly, but the difference was noticeable when I did. Pressing the stamp and applying the ampoule is essential. You can visually see the pores shrinking, which gives a slight thrill. The effects are noticeable even after one use. If used consistently, this could be your go-to for pore management. It seems suitable for both oily and dry skin types.
ConsIt's true to its pore care claim, but interestingly, when applied to areas without visible pores, it doesn't absorb well and pills. The amount in one ampoule tube is more than the face can absorb at once, so it might be better to use it over multiple applications. The cap makes storage convenient, but the small tube size means some product might be left unused and wasted at the end, which is a shame. Fortunately, it doesn't cause any blemishes. The residual stickiness is similar to what you might experience after using a sheet mask when not all the product has been absorbed.
TipI recommend using just enough for the pore areas to absorb properly. As the remaining stickiness was bothersome for my oily skin, I found it best to rinse lightly with water after use and finish with a moisturizer.

When I first used this, I was extra cautious. To my surprise, my skin was perfectly fine the next day! Feeling bolder, I applied it more generously the next time, and not only did I have zero issues, but I actually noticed my pores seemed smaller and my skin felt firmer!
ConsFor some reason, when I applied my usual moisturizer over this product, it pilled slightly, creating a bit of residue.
TipI highly recommend this for anyone looking to manage their pores!
