Product details

A white and pink tube of Poremizing Light Gel Cream on a blush-pink table between pink salt crystals and centella leaves

Pores + glow

An ultralight, watery gel cream with Madagascar centella, pink salt minerals and niacinamide for large, clogged-looking pores.

The moisturizer of SKIN1004’s Poremizing line, made for enlarged and clogged pores that lead to whiteheads and blackheads. Mineral salts, which the brand sources from Himalayan pink salt, help clear impurities from pores, aloe and adenosine work on smoothness and elasticity, and niacinamide brightens dark spots. The watery gel cools on contact and leaves skin hydrated with a smooth, natural finish.
