How to choose Korean skincare for pores and texture
Pick by how much exfoliation your skin enjoys. Niacinamide toners are the gentlest way in: the I'm From Black Rice Toner suits oily and combination skin, while the Jumiso Niacinamide 2 Pore Smoothing Toner adds mild BHA and AHA/PHA for a smoother look. The Medicube Azelaic Acid Niacinamide Clear Toner also helps with the look of redness and post-blemish marks.
In the serum step, the Medicube Zero Pore One Day Peptide Serum combines peptides with BHA and AHA/PHA, and the Dr.Althea 15 Niacinamide Purity Serum adds rice and tea tree. Use one exfoliating product at a time so you can tell what is working.
Can pores really get smaller?
Pore size is largely set by genetics. What skincare can do is keep pores clear and help refine the look of pores and uneven texture.
How often should I exfoliate?
Start 1-2 times a week with acid formulas and build up only if skin stays comfortable. Products with AHAs or BHAs can increase sun sensitivity, so use sunscreen daily.
What if a product isn't right for me?
Unopened, unused items in their original sealed packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Opened products can't be returned unless they arrived damaged, defective or incorrect, so patch testing before full use is a good habit.
How to use it in your routine
Cleanse, tone with your niacinamide toner, apply serum, moisturize, then SPF in the morning. Pair it with an oil-friendly wash from cleansers, more balancing picks for oily skin, a weekly sheet mask from masks and daily sun care. See more goals when you shop by concern.
