I sometimes had troubles/acne scars (slightly reddish scars)/large pores/suffered a lot due to past acne, but I got rid of them by taking dermatological medication (as a side effect(?), my skin went from oily to not quite dry but more normal). I'm around shade 22. #Excellent coverage - I used this and then tried another foundation once, and I realized I had forgotten how good the coverage is. #Great ingredients - There are parabens, but there is a counterargument that parabens are the safest preservatives, and most articles on Naver claiming the harmfulness of parabens are promotional pieces for natural cosmetics. #Decent longevity - Not bad (so-so).
Cons#Messy breakdown - Especially the areas around both sides of my nose get really messy and break down. #Does not cover pores #Shade 15 is too light, and 25 is too dark.
TipSince I suffered a lot from acne, I bought this product solely based on the ingredients. If you want a gentle foundation, I would recommend this.

But over time, as the oil comes up, breakouts occur To prevent this in advance, using oil blotting papers and finishing powder should do the trick
ConsThe shade Opal is the lightest, but it's too dark for me That may be why I thought the acne scar coverage was better I'm an extreme oily skin type, and while it claims to be matte, it's not really matte?? It has this kind of oily feeling, if you will. The finish is matte, but there's this uncomfortable feeling It applies thickly and emphasizes texture a lot. Pore coverage is non-existent lol And just a splash of water makes it slide right off, it just melts away The longevity is terrible lol As an extremely oily skin type, the wear time is not high. When it breaks down, the love.. The reason I didn't throw this away was the high coverage and the fact that I didn't get breakouts. But without blotting papers, the oil caused breakouts

The coverage is excellent, and most importantly, even though I have very sensitive skin, I didn't experience any breakouts, and the ingredients are great, so I can use it with confidence!
ConsIt doesn't seem to last more than 12 hours. It lasts around 7 hours, and the way it breaks down isn't that pretty. Also, the color is too bright, so I've been mixing it with a nude shade 25 as well.
TipIf you usually use shades 21 or 23, I'd recommend buying a nude shade and mixing it in as well!

Non-irritating for even extremely problematic skin. Can be worn all day without causing any breakouts. I've even slept with it on a few times without developing any blemishes afterwards. This foundation seems ideal for those with skin in the transitional stage of gradually clearing up from numerous breakouts, using it as a base to aid in complete recovery and skin improvement. 2. In terms of coverage, it's quite good. It's said to have coverage comparable to Estée Lauder Double Wear, though I can't personally attest to that. It covers reddish-brown acne marks (just evens out the color!). 3. A small amount can lightly cover the entire face. 4. If using it as a full foundation feels too heavy, you can use a tiny amount as a concealer instead. 5. As it has a matte finish, it's great for those with oily skin or for use in the summer when oil production is high.
Cons1. Difficult to obtain in Korea, requiring overseas shipping. Also quite expensive. 2. The longevity is poor, fading significantly. After applying it in the morning, eating breakfast, and brushing my teeth, when I look in the mirror, only the area around my mouth where water touched has been wiped away. When it comes into contact with water, it just starts dripping off in a yellowish runny mess. It also doesn't last all day, so I have to reapply, and over time it starts to look patchy. 3. It may just be my product, but even without applying much pressure, as soon as I open the lid, the foundation just starts oozing out over the top of the container, so even though I haven't used it much, the amount has decreased rapidly. 4. Severe blemishes that have come to the surface, like cystic acne with a hard core, are only covered in terms of color, but the bumpy texture is not concealed. 5. If you have significant skin unevenness from acne scarring, it cannot cover the textural irregularities. Pores are also still visible. 6. While the shades are meant to cater to foreign skin tones, it still doesn't match me well. Even the lightest shade has a yellowish tone.
TipBe careful not to apply it too thickly, as that can cause the skin to look patchy and make pores and blemishes more pronounced. I recommend building up the coverage in thin layers instead. Also, if you're looking for a foundation product that can help slow down or prevent new breakouts from surfacing, and you need to wear makeup regularly, I highly recommend this as a base.

Even when applying foundation, it feels light and does not particularly cause any breakouts.
ConsThe color doesn't quite match, so I have to mix 15 and 25. It clumps a bit. When it breaks down, it doesn't look very nice.
TipThe key is to use an inexpensive puff, soak it in water, and then apply a small amount evenly.
