Clinically Proven Pore Improvement

In a human application test with 21 participants, multiple pore-related metrics showed visible improvement.

• 50% improvement in pore volume
• 44.31% improvement in pore area
• 48.15% improvement in pore tightening
• 51.73% improvement in skin texture
• Instant cooling effect that lowered skin temperature by 3.7°C

Even after a single use, dead skin cells improved by 30.05%. Dermatologist-tested and suitable for sensitive skin, making it gentle enough for daily use.

Dual-Sided Design for Exfoliation and Soothing in One

The embossed side features fine textured ridges that sweep away impurities and dead skin from within the pores, while the smooth, gentle side is saturated with essence for a soothing mask-like effect. Ideal for those concerned about visible pores in warmer weather or anyone needing calming relief from heat-induced irritation. Due to the nature of retinal, always apply sunscreen when using this product in the morning.

Use right after cleansing, before toner

This is an exfoliating pad designed to be used as the very first step after cleansing. Start with the embossed side to sweep away dead skin cells and pore-clogging impurities, then follow with your toner and serum—your skin will absorb them much more effectively. Pair it with an ampoule from the same line to amplify your pore-refining results.

Safe for morning and evening use, but always follow with SPF in the AM

Clinically tested on sensitive skin with a recorded irritation score of 0.00, this gentle pad is designed for daily use without overwhelming your skin. However, because it contains retinal, be sure to apply sunscreen before heading outdoors if you use it in the morning.

Use both sides of the pad according to your skin's needs

• Embossed side (exfoliating): Hold the pad with the textured side facing out and gently sweep along your skin's natural texture to lift away dead skin and impurities
• Smooth side (soothing): Place the pad on areas where pores are a concern and leave on for 1 to 5 minutes, then remove and lightly pat to finish

Avoid the delicate eye and lip areas, and focus on pore-prone zones like the nose and cheeks.

Routine combinations by skin concern

If your pores look enlarged due to heat or irritation, store the pads in the fridge for an extra cooling effect. For combination skin with excess oil, use the embossed side on your T-zone and the smooth side on drier areas like your cheeks. If makeup tends to lift or separate throughout the day, use the smooth side before application to smooth your skin texture for better adherence.

Precautions when using retinal

Because this pad contains retinal, avoid using it on the same day as vitamin C products or chemical exfoliants like AHA or BHA. Store away from direct sunlight at 5–30°C, and always close the lid tightly after use to prevent the pads from drying out. Over time, the essence may darken or lighten—this is a natural characteristic of retinal and nothing to worry about.
