Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner

A big, visible pore is a big problem for me. It's unpleasant to look at and I keep wanting to submerge my face in cold water to close the pore, unfortunately even if I do that, it's only a temporary solution. I need something to help me counter this visible pore on my face. Maybe this Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner can help me solve this problem?

What is it?

It's a freshener and a toner. You can use it both as a toner and mist freshener. It claims to be a total solution for pore care, prevent enlarged pores, keep the skin firm and help solve skin trouble by eliminating what bad for the skin. It 6 free, so it doesn't contains parabens, alcohol, artificial colorants, talc, mineral oil, and animal ingredients.

What it does?

It contains anti pore-dex complex that help treat acne and inflammation, soothe the skin, and cleanse the skin more thoroughly than the general ingredients in soaps and cleansers and astringentlex which supposed to suppress the production of excess sebum by tightening the pores and enhance firmness and elasticity of the skin. It claims to be 7 in 1 total pore solution:

Maintain ph 4.5 ±1
Refine the skin tones
Keep the elasticity of pores
Deep cleanse pores
Minimize appearance of pores
Control a large amount of the sebum
Moisturize inside and outside of skin

The texture?

It's liquid, just like a water. It feels refreshing, but unlike the usual toner that have alcohol in it, Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner doesn't makes the skin feel prickly, but still feel clean. The scent is quite strong, and there may be other people who dislike the scent, but personally I don't find the scent offending, contrary, I quite like the scent, it makes me feel refreshed and clean, which I like.

The packaging?

It comes with 2 different packaging. The one I buy is the big 500ml packaging, the other one is a small 250ml packaging. The big packaging comes with a pump like the one in nail art shop which is very convenient and makes it easy to control how much you want to dispense and it's very hygienic. The small packaging doesn't comes with a pump like this, instead it's just like regular sun block dispenser. Naturally I like the big one better, the only problem is it's to big to take anywhere, but it can be easily solved by transferring some of the toner to a smaller bottle and it last quite a while. Overall it's a cute packaging.

Performance review?

It may or may not help me minimizing the visible pore, but I don't feel incompatibility with this toner, and it feels very refreshing. It help remove dirt that still stubbornly clinging to our face even after thoroughly do double cleansing with face soap. We can also use this toner as a mist, just to transfer some of the toner to a spray bottle, and you're good to go.

Toner is an important step in skin care regimen. It is best if we can found a toner that is compatible with our skin. This toner may be one for you.

Final Score: 3.5/5
