    A little too early to see anything dramatic, but I really like this product

    I have aging skin and I am trying to simplify my skincare routine. This product is more like a serum than a toner (to me, anyway) and I think it is helping my skin look brighter and just better overall. I pat a little on with my fingertips after cleansing. There is no stinging or tightness like with some toners, and it really seems to just sink into my skin. Time will tell if it makes a big change, but I'm willing to see what happens.

    Great toner

    I’ve been using this toner for about 4 years. Love it. Feels like it hydrates my skin.

    This is a go to

    I’ve been using the pore perfecting product for a couple of years now and my skin looks better than it ever has. No more blackheads and my skin is bright and clear.

FAQs

What does Pore Perfecting Liquid do?

Pore Perfecting Liquid is a gentle leave-on exfoliator with 2% salicylic acid (BHA) that helps unclog pores, smooth skin texture, reduce the appearance of pores, and brighten the complexion without stripping or drying the skin.

Who is Pore Perfecting Liquid best for?

This formula is ideal for anyone looking to minimize the appearance of pores, reduce congestion, improve uneven texture, or help prevent breakouts. It's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, though those new to exfoliating acids should introduce it gradually.

How do I use Pore Perfecting Liquid?

Apply to clean, dry skin with your fingertips or a cotton pad after cleansing. Do not rinse. Follow with your favorite serum and moisturizer. If using in the morning, always finish with SPF.

Can I use it every day?

Yes! The formula is designed for daily use, morning and/or evening. If you're new to salicylic acid or have sensitive skin, start by using it 2–3 times per week and increase frequency as your skin adjusts.

Is this a toner?

While it has a lightweight, toner-like texture, it's actually a leave-on exfoliating treatment. It helps clear pores and improve skin texture while hydrating and balancing the skin.

Will it dry out my skin?

No. Unlike many traditional BHA exfoliants, Pore Perfecting Liquid is formulated with hydrating ingredients like Tremella mushroom and soothing mountain borage to help maintain your skin's moisture balance while exfoliating.

Can I use it with retinol?

Yes, but if you have sensitive skin, it's best to alternate use with retinol on different nights until you know how your skin tolerates the combination.

Can I use it with vitamin C?

Yes! Pore Perfecting Liquid already contains vitamin C, and most users can incorporate it into a routine with other vitamin C products. If your skin is sensitive, introduce products gradually.

Can I use it if I have acne-prone skin?

Absolutely. The 2% salicylic acid penetrates into pores to help dissolve excess oil and debris, making it a great choice for acne-prone, oily, and combination skin.

Will I experience tingling?

Some people may notice a mild, temporary tingling sensation when first applying the product. This is normal for an exfoliating acid. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
