Pore Remedy PHA Exfoliating Serum 30ml

A gentle PHA exfoliating serum that tightens pores with 7% PHA

This is the pore-care serum from Dr.Jart+'s Pore Remedy line. Formulated with 7% PHA—a third-generation exfoliant known for its gentle approach to resurfacing—it's mild enough for sensitive skin to use daily without irritation. The formula features a two-phase texture: oil and essence sit separately in the bottle, so give it a light shake before use. Once blended, macadamia seed oil forms a protective veil on the skin while the essence absorbs quickly, leaving skin hydrated yet refreshingly lightweight.

Visible pore improvement confirmed in an 8-week clinical study

A clinical study conducted on 32 women aged 25–45 with oily and combination skin showed meaningful results.

• Pore volume: 9% improvement after 7 days, 23% after 8 weeks
• Pore area: 8% improvement after 7 days, 21% after 8 weeks
• Pore count: 13% improvement after 7 days, 26% after 8 weeks
• Dead skin cells: 17% improvement after 7 days, 56% after 8 weeks
• Blackhead count: 9% improvement after 7 days, 29% after 8 weeks

It has also completed a sensitive skin irritation test and a non-comedogenic test, making it safe for acne-prone skin.

Tri-Retex Technology with 3 core ingredients

Dr.Jart+ designed this formula specifically to target pores and skin texture, with three ingredients working in harmony.

• PHA (Gluconolactone): Gently exfoliates to clear out pore buildup and dead skin without irritation
• Glycoprotein: Helps manage excess oil while adding a smooth, healthy-looking sheen
• Panthenol: Protects the skin barrier while delivering soothing hydration

It's especially well-suited for oily and combination skin dealing with visibly enlarged pores, dead skin buildup, or stubborn blackheads. After cleansing and toning, pump once or twice and smooth evenly over the entire face. If using during the day, always finish with sunscreen.

Use after toner, at the essence step

This is designed to be used at the essence step, right after cleansing and toning. It has a bi-phase formula, so give the bottle a gentle shake before use to blend the oil and essence layers together. Follow with a moisturizer to help the PHA absorb into skin more effectively.

Safe for morning and evening use

Dermatologist-tested and suitable for sensitive skin, this gentle exfoliating serum can be used daily. If you apply it in the morning, always finish your routine with sunscreen. Because PHA helps remove dead skin cells, your skin may be more sensitive to UV exposure afterward.

1–2 pumps for full-face application

Dispense 1–2 pumps into your palm, then gently smooth over your entire face. The watery texture absorbs best when warmed in your hands first. For areas where pores are more visible, like around the nose and cheeks, feel free to apply a second light layer.

Routine pairings by skin concern

• For pores and excess oil: Follow a lightweight toner with this serum, then seal with a fresh, hydrating moisturizer
• For dullness and texture: Layer a vitamin C product after this serum to help boost skin luminosity
• For dryness: Add a hyaluronic acid essence after the serum to lock in extra hydration

Good to know before using

This serum contains 7% PHA, a gentle exfoliating ingredient. It's non-comedogenic tested, making it suitable for acne-prone skin. However, avoid using it on the same day as retinol or other exfoliating treatments to prevent irritation—alternate days or use at different times. If you experience redness or stinging, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
