Pore Refining Serum PR13 (20ml)​ & Repair Serum R9+ (10ml)

This Pore Refining Serum pairs a lightweight, pore-tightening formula with a soothing barrier-repair essence, so daily pore care doesn't come at the cost of comfort or hydration. As a Pore Refining Serum designed for sensitive, acne-prone skin, PR13 works to minimize the look of enlarged pores and control oil, while R9+ calms and restores skin that's been stressed by breakouts or active treatments. Used together, they support a more balanced, refined-looking complexion.

• • Refines pores: Helps minimize the look of enlarged pores over time.
• • Controls excess oil: Supports a more balanced, less shiny complexion.
• • Softens keratin: Helps smooth rough texture and reduce blackheads.
• • Soothes and repairs: R9+ calms and strengthens a compromised skin barrier.
• • Lightweight, non-greasy: Comfortable for daily use, even on oily or acne-prone skin.

This Pore Refining Serum is built around Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, and Fish Mint Extract, a combination suited to sensitive, acne-prone, or congested skin. Salicylic Acid helps exfoliate within the pore to reduce blockages, while Niacinamide supports oil balance and a more even-looking tone. Paired with it, R9+ brings 5% Vitamin B5 and 3% Sacred Lotus Extract to hydrate, soothe, and support barrier resilience, helping offset the dryness that can come with a pore-focused serum.

As a Pore Refining Serum, PR13 targets pore appearance and post-acne dullness at the surface, while R9+ works underneath to repair and hydrate, keeping the skin barrier supported through a more active routine. The two are designed to be layered: apply the Pore Refining Serum after toner to focus on pore refinement, then follow with R9+ to soothe and lock in hydration.

For a simplified routine, R9+ (10ml) can be poured directly into a 20ml essence bottle (H20, A18, or RV24) to create a combined, all-in-one formula, cutting a step without cutting efficacy.

This Pore Refining Serum combo is designed for skin dealing with visible pores, oiliness, or the aftermath of breakouts while still needing barrier support rather than harsh treatment.

• • Enlarged pores: A Pore Refining Serum helps refine the look of pores over consistent use.
• • Acne-prone skin: Formulated specifically for sensitive, breakout-prone skin.
• • Post-acne dullness: Supports a clearer, more even-looking complexion.
• • Oily/combination skin: Helps manage excess oil without over-stripping.
• • Compromised barrier: R9+'s B5 and Sacred Lotus Extract help calm and repair alongside active treatment.

• 1. Cleanse your face: Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and buildup.
• 2. Apply toner: Prep skin before treatment serums.
• 3. Apply the Pore Refining Serum (PR13): Smooth an appropriate amount onto cleansed, toned skin to target pores.
• 4. Follow with R9+: Apply to soothe and repair, or pre-mix into your essence bottle for an all-in-one step.
• 5. Finish with moisturizer and SPF: Lock in hydration and protect skin, especially since Salicylic Acid can increase sun sensitivity.

• Can I use the Pore Refining Serum and R9+ together?

  Yes, it's designed to tighten and refine the appearance of pores over consistent use, particularly when paired with a full pore-care routine.

• Is this Pore Refining Serum safe to use with other active ingredients?

  Since it contains Salicylic Acid, avoid layering this Pore Refining Serum with other strong exfoliating actives (like retinol or AHAs) in the same routine unless advised, to reduce the risk of irritation. Always patch test first.

• Should I apply sunscreen after using this Pore Refining Serum?

  Yes. Salicylic Acid can increase skin's sun sensitivity, so daily SPF is recommended when using this Pore Refining Serum as part of your morning routine.

• Can I use R9+ on its own without the Pore Refining Serum?

  Yes. R9+ can be used individually as a soothing, repair-focused essence, or mixed into other Pers. Active Lab essences (H20, A18, RV24) for added barrier support.
