Sebum Extra Sebum Softener Plus 150ml

Gentle pore care that melts, not strips

A water-type sebum softener that gently dissolves hardened sebum and blackheads trapped deep in pores. Instead of peel-off strips, simply soak a cotton pad and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. The sebum softens enough to be easily removed with a cotton swab. The lightweight water formula won't clog pores, and leaves skin feeling clean and breathable even after cleansing.

Triple-acid blend for gentle exfoliation

Formulated with three exfoliating acids, each with a different molecular size.

• AHA (surface exfoliant): Lactic Acid and Citric Acid help refine dead skin cells on the surface
• BHA (pore-clearing agent): Salicylic Acid targets sebum buildup deep within pores
• PHA (gentle exfoliant): Gluconolactone smooths skin texture while supporting hydration

All ingredients are rated EWG Green, making this suitable for sensitive skin.

9 gentle ingredients for soothing and hydration

To prevent dryness after sebum care, the formula includes soothing and hydrating ingredients like Pine Leaf Extract, Peony Extract, and Panthenol. Snail Secretion Filtrate and Avocado Oil help protect the skin barrier, while Rice Bran Extract refines skin texture. Especially recommended for those concerned with blackheads, enlarged pores, or makeup that slides off due to excess sebum. For oily skin, use once or twice a week. For sensitive skin, once a week or once every two weeks is recommended.

Use as a pre-cleansing sebum-softening step

Unlike regular cleansers, this sebum softener is designed to be used before washing your face. Start by opening your pores with warm water, then apply the product to areas prone to excess sebum. Once the sebum has softened, gently wipe it away and follow with your usual cleanser. Continue with your skincare routine in the usual order: toner, essence, and cream.

Best used before your evening cleanse

For optimal results, use it in the evening when sebum and impurities have built up throughout the day. If you have oily skin, aim for once or twice a week. For sensitive skin, once a week or once every two weeks is ideal. Applying it right after a hot shower or using a warm towel to open your pores will enhance the sebum-softening effect.

Three-step care with cotton pads and swabs

Dispense an appropriate amount onto a cotton pad and place it on sebum-prone areas like the nose, T-zone, and butterfly zone. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes to allow hardened sebum to soften and rise to the surface. Gently wipe away the softened sebum with a cotton swab, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Follow-up care by skin type

• Oily skin: After use, refine pores with a lightweight toner and finish with a hydrating gel for a shine-free, moisturized feel
• Combination skin: Focus application on the T-zone, then layer a hydrating essence on the cheeks and jawline to balance your skin
• Sensitive skin: Follow up with a soothing toner or cica cream to calm the skin

Precautions when using AHA, BHA, and PHA complex

This product contains AHA (exfoliating agent), BHA (helps dissolve impurities inside pores), and PHA (gentle exfoliating agent). Using it on the same day as retinol or other exfoliating products may cause irritation. If you experience redness or stinging after use, discontinue immediately and consult a dermatologist. Avoid applying to broken or wounded skin, and store in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
