Apparently this used to be called Palgantong Theatrical Powder. I'd heard about it ages ago and had been curious to try it but never knew where to get it till I saw it being sold on Qoo10 for an amazingly low price. So I got it, one for me, one for a friend. :)
There are claims that it slims the face, highlights areas that need to and downplays areas that shouldn't be... etc, but basically, this is a loose setting powder that gives a smooth, matte complexion with oil control.
Box has all Korean words, and as you can see, it comes in a huge plastic tub. When peeling off that sticker inside, do it really carefully, or you might get lots of powder coming out!
I got it in Shade 23 Natural Beige, as I was worried no.21 (Light Beige) would be too white/light. I am quite fair, and am slightly more yellow toned than pink, and this gave me a brighter appearance. I used it on top of my bb cream.
I didn't show a swatch of it because it really blends out to nothing on my hand. :)

Here's the colour of no 23, Natural Beige... slightly more pink toned, but I think it's ok as it brightens up the skin.
On the right side of my hand, I blended a little bit of my Skin79 bb cream and then patted the 3W powder over it.
When it's all blended, you can see it mattifies and brightens a little...
Texture- Very finely milled powder, very smooth whether you use the lovely squishy puff or a brush. Personally, I prefer using a brush with this (kabuki or normal, clean blush brush) as it gives a smoother and more even look.
Scent- very light baby powder scent. Quite pleasant.
Scent- very light baby powder scent. Quite pleasant.
Coverage- minimal, but it really smoothens out the complexion and makes it appear matte and almost poreless, like my Laneige Air Light compact.
Verdict- this is a great powder, price for the tub is awesome, and it does last. I walked and sweated with this on, and all I had to do was dab my sweat away and I had that smooth looking skin again. So it is great for oil control.
Honestly, the only thing is, I am not so sure if this breaks me out though it does state that it doesn't clog pores. I have tried it twice and both times after, I broke out a little. But it may just be that I have very sensitive skin anyway. I will have to try it again to see how it goes and update again :) I haven't heard any complaints from my friend though, who has drier, normal skin, so I think it should be ok. She has said it does give her skin a matte, smooth look on top of her compact.
Bought it for SGD7.20 from here.
For ladies who wants this product, Im selling this 3w clinic powder into two shades #23 and #21. For P300
