I've already used a full bottle of this product at home because I use it so often!! Definitely, after using it, my skin texture is smoother the next day and my pores are slightly reduced. It also tingles just the right amount, so I'm really satisfied!!

DAMTONE

Damtone Pore Toning Acu Essence

I usually struggle with pores and skin texture, so I've tried many different needle skincare products. Other brands' needle products irritated my sensitive skin a lot, often causing redness and peeling after use. But with Damton's product, I felt only slight irritation and no redness or peeling occurred! I've only been using it for a week, so I can't say if my pores have improved yet, but my makeup definitely applies better the next day! It seems to suit my skin well, so I plan to keep using it consistently ❤️

I have extremely dry skin, so when the seasons change or during transitional periods, my skin texture easily becomes rough due to inner dryness, and makeup tends to cake. That’s why I tried Damton Pore Toning ACU Essence, which claims to improve pores and skin texture!!

📌 Texture & Feel

The essence is light and watery, so it absorbs quickly and feels refreshing on the skin!! It’s not sticky at all, so it’s comfortable to apply right after toner and doesn’t cause any makeup pilling! (I used to struggle because applying too much skincare made my makeup cake, and too little caused flakiness...)

📌 Moisturizing & Suitability for Dry Skin

As a dry skin type, I was most curious about its moisturizing effect, and I definitely felt my skin getting hydrated from deep inside after applying. It’s not just surface moisture; the hydration that fills inner dryness lasts for a long time.

📌 Effects
Pores: It doesn’t shrink pores instantly, but my skin texture became more refined, and makeup applied much more smoothly!!!
Sensitivity: When my skin is sensitive, some products cause breakouts, but this one actually soothed my skin and helped reduce redness.

📌 Overall

For my dry skin, this essence addressed moisturizing, skin texture improvement, and soothing all at once. It controls inner dryness while finishing with a refreshing feel, making it great for daily use all year round!!

The needle shot was too stinging to use comfortably, but this product seems perfect for beginners trying needle shots. You can feel the needles but it doesn’t hurt, which is great. Above all, after applying this, I didn’t even need to apply a separate cream because it stayed moist continuously. I lightly applied it and highly recommend it for bedtime 🤍. In weather like this lately, just using this alone before bed keeps dryness away until morning.

My skin texture definitely became smoother! Before, my skin was rough and flaky, but after applying it before bed and waking up the next morning, it felt really soft. I was curious about the Spicule product and tried it out, and I'm more satisfied than I expected. Due to the nature of the product, it stings a little when applied, but it wasn't uncomfortable for me and I think I can use it regularly. It’s also very moisturizing, the formula doesn’t drip, so it spreads comfortably when applied. Plus, the pump design makes it easy to use.

I have sensitive skin that usually breaks out immediately with any product, but I didn't notice that with this one! Because my skin is sensitive, I felt a slight tingling and a bit of itchiness, which was somewhat irritating, but there were no major breakouts or unusual reactions. I applied two layers on my cheeks where my pores are relatively large, and when I looked in the mirror the next morning, my face looked radiant and my pores seemed smaller. I've only used it for three days so far, but I believe consistent use will definitely show results!! I'll keep using it for a few more days.

This review was written after receiving the product.

The texture is not runny but has some weight to it! It stings a bit when applied, probably because it's a needle💉 product.

If you usually worry about pores or your skin condition, I think it's worth using consistently. I should have shared a dramatic before-and-after of my pores, but I only attached pictures of the product applied on my face.

If your skin is very sensitive, you should consider this needle shot product carefully. I have redness, dry pores, and blemishes. My skin isn’t extremely sensitive, so I could tolerate it, but very sensitive skin types might even cry while applying it🤣.

I wish more people would try it, but because it’s a strong product, it might cause a barrier issue for sensitive skin, so I’m deducting one star!

For those who frequently use needle shot products, I highly recommend this one👍🏼

Appearance & Usage: The pump type is hygienic, and the large capacity means it will last a long time!

Texture & Feel: It has an ampoule-like texture, so it's easy to spread and the tingling sensation isn't too strong, making it comfortable to use. I was careful to avoid the eyes and mouth area. I've felt this tingling before with other products, but this one is milder, and I actually enjoy that feeling a bit (the sensation of pores tightening). It was fine for me.

Effects: I was worried it might cause breakouts or irritation, but instead, the redness calmed down completely by the next day, which was great! When I put on makeup the next day, my skin texture looked amazing and the makeup applied so well, which surprised me the first time! I also noticed my pores looked smaller after just one day, which was a second surprise! You can see effects after just one use, and I’m hopeful that continuous use will improve my skin even more.

I plan to use it for another month or two and will leave another review then~~

I won a trial and wanted to share my experience with my current favorite skincare item, the Damton Pore Toning Accu Essence. I've actually been using VT's pore care line for a while, but personally, the Damton product suits my skin much better. It minimizes the typical sting from pore care products while giving a more noticeable skin texture refinement. Both products were good, but Damton showed faster results on my skin! The essence contains ginseng-derived micro-needles, which cause a slight tingling sensation upon absorption. This actually made me feel like the ingredients were penetrating deeply, which was fascinating at first 🪡. After absorption, the skin quickly calms down, and the next morning my skin feels smooth with pores appearing more refined, giving me great satisfaction. The biggest improvement I noticed was with redness before pigmentation appeared ꒰ঌ(⃔ ⌯' '⌯)⃕໒꒱. Another feature I love is that it contains niacinamide and centella asiatica extract, which brighten the skin tone and reduce redness. I think this product is perfect for those with sensitive skin who are concerned about pores and skin texture. The essence has a lightweight absorption yet provides good deep hydration, so layering with other serums or creams doesn’t feel heavy at all. My evening routine is toner → Damton Accu Essence → cream, and it feels like absorption improves, which I really like. Overall, this product was much more satisfying for me than the VT pore line, and I highly recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin needing pore care or those worried about pigmentation. It's my true favorite that I use daily 🩷

At first, I was surprised because it stung a little when I applied it on the back of my hand, but when I actually applied it to my skin, it just felt slightly warm and didn’t hurt! Above all, I loved how it absorbed smoothly and moisturized without any stickiness! The next day after applying, my skin texture felt soft, and my makeup seemed to go on better..! 😮 I think the pore improvement effect will get better with continuous use! If you’re new to needle products like me, I recommend applying cream first, then the middle essence afterward for less irritation and easier use..! I have sensitive skin, so I was scared to use products with needles, but it was less irritating than I expected and effective, so I plan to keep using it! If you’re looking for a needle product with low irritation, I recommend this :)

I got the chance to try Damton Pore Toning ACU Essence through a Hemeco review event. The Damton essence is a convenient size that fits in one hand and comes in a plastic container, so I don't worry about it breaking when I carry it around. It is fragrance-free. The texture is light and watery with no stickiness. It stings less than Olive Young's Riddle Shot. It tingles slightly when applied but absorbs well, so the tingling disappears quickly. I have acne, combination skin, and large pores. I applied it at night and saw no side effects the next morning. I’m not sure yet if it’s effective on pores, but I think consistent use will show results.

The Damton Pore Toning Acu Essence absorbs into the skin instantly and finishes with a refreshing feel! It tightens pores and smooths skin texture, making me happy every time I look in the mirror✨ With consistent use, you can see your skin becoming clearer and firmer, making it a perfect product for diligent skincare. It’s non-sticky and provides plenty of moisture, so those with oily or combination skin will be even more satisfied. It might sting slightly when applied at first, but you quickly get used to it, and it actually feels like a sign your skin is improving. A great essence to include in your skincare routine💚

Reason for use: Lately, my pores have been getting really enlarged, so I was looking for a needle shot product and found this one! (Dryness, sensitivity, pores, sebum—it's all my story.. haha)

Texture: It’s a pump-type essence with a great feel and smooth application!

Tingling sensation: I was really worried it might sting because it said it could, but it applies more gently than expected, and the sting isn’t severe. After applying, I also put on plenty of cream for moisture and gently pressed it with my palms once more!

Overall: The packaging is convenient for carrying, it’s not too irritating, and the texture is great, so I’m very satisfied! It’s recommended to use every two days, so I’ll keep using it consistently and share another review later! Really looking forward to seeing changes in my pores 💓

Other products cause stinging, itching, and redness right from application, actually triggering breakouts (personal experience). This product, however: 1. Applies smoothly and feels very moisturizing, I love it!! 2. It tingles slightly as it absorbs, but it's tolerable and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, which I’m very satisfied with (the soothing effect helped reduce heat around my breakouts!!) 3. The packaging is beautiful and the pump makes it easy to use. 4. Makes skincare simple and convenient!!! 5. Unlike sleeping packs that stain pillows or clothes, this doesn’t, so no worries! For extra moisture, applying a small amount of cream on top worked well too!!!

The serum is about the usual size, but the texture is thinner than I expected. Compared to the Daiso Needle Shot, you can see it's more watery! It feels more moisturizing and absorbs well. Since I’ve been using the Needle Shot consistently, my skin might be used to it, but this one barely stings, so it was easier to apply (less stingy than the 100). My skin feels softer after applying, but I’ll keep using it longer to see results on my pores as I expected :)

I've already used up a whole bottle at home because I use this product so often!! Definitely, after using it, my skin texture is smoother the next day and my pores appear slightly smaller. It also has a mild tingling sensation, which I really like!!

I have extremely dry skin, so when the seasons change or during transitional weather, my skin texture easily becomes rough due to internal dryness, and makeup tends to cake. So this time, I tried the Damton Pore Toning ACU Essence because it claims to improve pores and skin texture!!

📌 Texture and Feel

The essence is light and watery, so it absorbs quickly and feels refreshing on the skin!! There's no stickiness at all, so I could apply it right after toner without any burden, and it didn’t cause any makeup pilling before applying makeup! (I used to struggle because if I overdo skincare, makeup flakes, and if I do too little, flakes appear...)

📌 Moisturizing & Suitability for Dry Skin

As a dry skin type, my biggest expectation was moisturizing power, and I definitely felt my skin getting hydrated from deep within after applying. It wasn’t just surface moisture; the hydration that fills internal dryness lasted for a long time.

📌 Effects
Pores: It’s not an instant pore shrinkage effect, but my skin texture got more refined, and makeup applied much more smoothly!!!
Sensitivity: When my skin is sensitive, some products cause breakouts, but this one actually soothed my skin and helped reduce redness.

📌 Overall

For my dry skin, this essence provided moisturizing + skin texture improvement + soothing all at once. It tackles internal dryness while finishing refreshingly, so I think it’s great for daily use all year round!!

The needle shot was too stinging and hard to use, but this product seems perfect for beginners trying needle shots. You can feel the needles but it doesn’t hurt, which I liked. Above all, even without applying cream after using this, it stays moisturized all night, so I highly recommend applying it lightly before bed 🤍. With weather like this lately, just using this one before sleep keeps dryness away until morning.
