I'm the Wonder Woman for Your Pores, More Powerful!

Today we are going to look at this Tightening Essence from the Wonder Pore series, to see whether it does what it claim to "tighten" our pores or not.




"This is a pore essence that tightens pores for smooth and firm pores. After applying emulsion, dispense a certain a certain amount and spread gently onto face."

"After applying Wonder Pore Freshner, dispense a certain amount and spread gently onto face."

I do not whether you aware or not, but there is a contradict between the description and direction.

Description tells us to apply after emulsion, but direction tells apply after toner.

For me, just apply after toner, since it is a regular skin care sequence.


This essence is launched after Etude House change their formula of the highly raved Wonder Pore Freshner by adding Mint Vinegar and Anti Pore-Dex Complex to achieve 10 in 1 effect as an improvement of 7 in 1 before.

Along with this essence, there are also facial foam, moisture cream and emulsion launched together as well.

Compared to others, this is the right product if you want to reduce the size of pores. Other products focus mainly on moisture.

PACKAGING wise, very similar to the Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion. Nothing special, just smaller in size. 

It has a pump dispenser which I really like, since it is more hygiene and convenient compare to those squeeze type or bottle type where you know you need to hold it upside down to get the product out. 



So the SCENT, similar to the Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion again. Very fresh and not overwhelming as well. 

Regarding to the TEXTURE, it is a gel type essence. It apply smoothly and easily too. Suitable for oily type. 

It is semi transparent, the moment when you applied the essence it maybe kind of heavy however it absorb pretty fast so do not worry about it too much.




I have been using this essence for almost one month now, does it "tighten" up my pores?

Sadly to say, it did not happened to me. My PORES SIZE are still remain the same. Maybe I need to try for another month to see the effect?

As you know once the pores are enlarged, it is very difficult for it to return to its original size. A stubborn headache indeed. 

What is more worst is that, Malaysia is a hot and humid country. Hence, our face will start to produce sebum and sweat right after we leave our house. 

Even you want it or not, you are bound to face this problem here. Unless you stay in indoor ever since you are born.



But it does provide MOISTURE for me, not those intense moisture but maybe adequate enough for oily skin. 

Overall I would not encourage to those who wish to have a miracle happens quickly. I do think this essence need to take a long time to show effect. Remember pore is not an easy issue to fix anyway.

The review ends here. 

Sorry for lack of update in this blog. I just finish my final exam on Friday. That why I neglect this place so much. 

So now I will be free for about 1 month and maybe I can focus on this blog again. Stay tuned to my blog please.

Etude House Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion Review

"I'm the Wonder Woman for Your Pores, More Powerful!"

Last month I spotted the new line of Wonder Pore appeared in the outlet, and I thought "I should try the whole line." And so I purchased the whole new collection except for their facial cleanser.

Anyway since this month the Buy 1 Free 1 promotion is still ongoing, so I thought I can review the products to give you an idea whether you want it or not.



This time is the Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion.

"This is a pore emulsion that organizes pores with its fresh texture and light finish."

"After applying Wonder Pore Tightening Essence, dispense a certain amount and spread gently onto face."



I had huge issues for my pores, they are huge, big and noticeable since I "had" oily skin (turning to dry skin now). So I hoped that this Wonder Pore could help me.


The new Wonder Pore has 10 in 1 function instead of 7 in 1 function compared to the old products.

-Deep cleanse pores
-Minimize appearance of pores
-Control a large amount of sebum
-Moisturize inside and outside of skin
-Complete smooth glass-like texture
-Balance skin's ideal pH level
-Refine skin tone
-Keep the elasticity of pores
-Remove skin surface's dead skin cells
-Cleanse pores with cooling effects



This is a emulsion with a pump which I preferred that those that need to shake or squeeze. This is more convenient and hygiene.

Normally four pumps would be enough for me.

Packaging wise, it has the same minty blue that appeared on all Wonder Pore products. Nothing too extraordinary.

The scent thought, it has a fresh scent which is not the powdery or flowery scent we got in most skin care products. It is not overwhelming as well, the scent disappeared after applied.




For texture, it is really lightweight and watery (runny). At first, when I applied on my face, it was oily. But after few seconds of rubbing in circular motion, it absorb quickly without the feeling of greasy and sticky. Perfect for oily skin.

After fully adsorbed, the skin become very smooth as well.




However I am disappoint at its moisture function. Since this is suitable for those oily to very oily skin, it does not provide intense moisture but provide sufficient moisture that prevent clogging the pores.

When I went into to classroom, my face will be become slight dry and feel stretching after 15 minutes which proves it moisture is not enough for me.


This is not for dry to normal skin but ideal for oily to very oily skin, in my opinion.

This emulsion is purely for moisture and does not help with the tightening pores or reduce pore sizes.
