How This Poreless Liquid Helps Your Skin
This gentle liquid works in two ways to help your skin look and feel better. First, it helps clear away the stuff that makes pores look bigger. Willow bark water and betaine salicylate work together to gently remove dead skin cells that can clog pores. Second, it helps control oil so your skin stays fresh longer during the day.
The cooling mint extract feels so good when you apply it, especially in hot weather. Your skin gets the care it needs without harsh scrubbing or drying alcohol. The formula is pH-balanced at 4.5, which means it works with your skin's natural state to keep things calm and happy.
Clean Ingredients That Work
We love that this COSRX liquid is made with good-for-you ingredients. The star is willow bark water, which helps tighten pores naturally. It also has:
- Betaine Salicylate: A gentle BHA that clears pores without being harsh
- Mentha Extract: Gives that fresh, cool feeling and helps fight bacteria
- Allantoin & Panthenol: Keep skin calm and hydrated
- Sodium Hyaluronate: Adds moisture without clogging pores
What's not in the bottle matters too. This formula is free from alcohol, parabens, fragrance, and silicones. It's also cruelty-free and vegan, so you can feel good about what you're putting on your skin.
How to Use It for Best Results
Using this power liquid is simple and fits easily into your daily skin care. In the morning, put 1-2 pumps on a cotton pad and gently swipe over your face after washing. Skip the eye area since the mint might feel too tingly there.
At night, you can use it two ways. For all-over care, apply with a cotton pad just like in the morning. For spots that need extra help, try this trick: soak cotton pads and place them on trouble areas for 5-10 minutes as a mini mask. Always follow with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the benefits.
This bottle lasts about 3-4 months with daily use, making it a great value for your skincare shelf.
Who This Works Best For
This poreless liquid works for all skin types, but it's extra helpful for certain skin needs:
- Oily or combination skin that gets shiny during the day
- Skin with visible pores that you wish looked smaller
- Rough texture that needs gentle smoothing
- Skin that tends to get clogged or bumpy
It's gentle enough for most sensitive skin thanks to its soothing ingredients. The cooling effect feels amazing in summer or humid weather when skin tends to produce more oil. People of all ages with pore concerns can benefit, though it's most popular with those between 20-45 years.
How to Add It to Your Routine
This power liquid fits perfectly between cleansing and moisturizing steps. In the morning, use it after washing your face and before applying other products. Your morning order could look like: cleanser → this poreless liquid → hydrating toner (if you use one) → moisturizer → sunscreen.
At night, try: double cleanse → this poreless liquid → serums → moisturizer. You can use it along with other COSRX products like their BHA Blackhead Power Liquid, just use them on different days or different parts of your face to avoid doing too much at once.
For extra oily skin, this works great in summer when you need more oil control. For drier skin types, make sure to use a good moisturizer after to keep your skin balanced.
