Pore Refine Pore Shrinking & Texture Smoothing Serum

Serum · 30 ingredients

A pore-refining serum formulated to visibly minimize the appearance of pores and smooth uneven skin texture. It combines glycolic and lactic acids with willow bark extract to exfoliate and decongest pores, while peptides and a plant-based retinol alternative work to further refine their appearance over time. Rice starch and mushroom extract help balance oil production and visibly tighten pores. Best suited for those dealing with acne, enlarged pores, or rough texture.

Key ingredients

Strengthens the barrier, controls oil, and fades dark spots — gentle and plays well with almost everything.

Hyaluronic Acid

Holds water in the skin for instant plumping and hydration.

Salicylic Acid

An oil-soluble acid that gets inside pores to clear congestion and calm breakouts.

Ceramides

Barrier lipids that seal in moisture and repair a compromised skin barrier.

Peptides

Amino-acid messengers that signal collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.

Squalane

A lightweight, biomimetic oil that softens without clogging pores — pairs perfectly with strong actives to offset dryness.

Aloe Vera

Cools and hydrates irritated skin.

Vitamin E

An antioxidant that protects the barrier and supercharges vitamin C.

Salicylic Acid (BHA)

An oil-soluble acid that gets inside pores to clear congestion and calm breakouts.

Gluconolactone (PHA)
