They say it's good for pore tightening, but I didn't really feel much of a difference. When applied to the T-zone, it does seem to help control oiliness to some extent.
ConsThe smell is really not great... It has an unpleasant, rancid odor. The price is also too high, and I don't really feel the effects. I think it would be better to use that money for an exfoliating treatment and a pore-tightening mask instead. Pores are one of the skin concerns that dermatologists find the most difficult to control, and specific ingredients or products don't seem to make a noticeable difference, so there's no need to spend a lot on a dedicated pore-minimizing product. I have absolutely no intention of repurchasing this.

I used to have large pores, but after using this, many people told me that I no longer have any pores!!!! I've tried other serums, but none of them were as effective as this one. This is a product that should never be discontinued!!!!! Definitely get this if you have large pores!
ConsThe scent is a bit strange, and the price is too high ㅠㅠ Please don't discontinue this product
TipFor those with dry skin, don't use it before makeup (only use it before makeup in the summer). Apply it before bed and you'll see your pores gradually shrink over time ㅎㅎ

I tried to save it by using it all up, but it's so oily that it literally melted an oil blotting paper. This Arctic-type product is so oily that it makes my skin feel greasy in the morning.
ConsDiscontinued? How disappointing... Why did they discontinue it?

The application is also good! It added a nice glow and I liked it.
ConsAt first, I was a bit surprised because the color was a dark gray, so I thought it was some kind of rotten thing, but this was the original color..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Very surprised.. It's not really a downside, but I'd suggest writing not to be surprised at first..ㅎㅎ

I've been using it for about a month. I'm not sure if my pores have shrunk, but it definitely controls the sebum for a long time. After applying, the area feels smooth and powdery for a few hours. I can feel the difference in oil control between when I use it and when I don't. This serum may not be a permanent solution for sebum, but the advantage is that it's a basic skincare product. Powder and primers can clog pores, but this doesn't irritate the skin or further impact the pores negatively, which I liked. Now I feel uncomfortable and incomplete without using this. Before buying, I heard rumors that the color was too dull and cement-like, but it's not that dark? When squeezed out, it's an earthy tone and becomes completely colorless when applied.
ConsEven when stored with the cap tightly closed, it tends to harden. Sometimes when pumping, it spurts out like a water gun when the inside gets blocked. If it gets in the eyes... it's a bit... painful... (Be careful!) The scent was something like the sourness of lemon, which was a bit irritating... but I could tolerate it.
TipIt needs to be shaken before use.

It feels more like a primer than something that tightens pores... It keeps my skin soft and mattifies oil, which is great! Those with dry skin or an unbalanced oil-water ratio should probably test it out.
ConsIt seems like it should only be used at night. If you apply it incorrectly or too thickly, the makeup will cake and flake off. On days when I'm really tired and my skin is extremely dehydrated, using this made my face look shriveled up.

I was so, so happy that I couldn't believe it wasn't more well-known. First of all, I had a complexion that was oily but without any trouble spots! Lately, my pores have been overproducing sebum, so I've been squeezing them and my pores have become enlarged. 1. Pore Reduction The pores really do become smaller. On my cheeks, the pores were just slightly open, but as soon as I applied it, the effect was immediate! It really tightened and closed the pores! On my nose, there were blackheads and all, so the pores were quite enlarged, but they did shrink a bit! If you look at the photos, the first one is right after applying it on the first day, and the second one is the next morning after applying it. Can you see that the small pores on my cheeks and nose have disappeared by the second day? This is even more amazing to see in person than in photos! This is the first time I've come across a serum that's this good at reducing pores. It's a holy grail product for me! 2. Fragrance Many people said the color and fragrance were not great, but I didn't really notice that at all! I actually thought the fragrance was nice.
Cons1. Price It's quite expensive... but if I can continue to see these effects, I think I'll keep buying it! 2. Dryness It's quite drying, so it may not be good for extremely dry or dehydrated skin types.
TipI used the Dokdo Skin to refine my skin texture, then immediately applied the Galactomyces Ferment Serum, and topped it off with a cream. This helped resolve the dryness and also reduced my pores even further!

ConsThe smell is really awful. I'm not kidding. It has a stomach acid-like smell. The smell after vomiting, that's the kind of smell it has... I usually don't complain about smells, but the smell is making me feel unwell... In the end, I had to wash my face... But the smell is still there.
TipNone..

When I apply this, it seems to absorb the oil and make my skin feel smooth.
ConsThe volume does seem a bit small, but since I only apply it to the T-zone, the volume may be sufficient - I'll have to use it up to really judge.
TipAfter applying my moisturizer, using this on top seems to reduce the oil production in my T-zone.
