Key Ingredients & Benefits: Clear Skin Starts Here

What makes the Poremizing Fresh Ampoule so effective is its targeted blend of ingredients—each one chosen to gently purify, balance, and support oily or congested skin. Here’s what’s inside and why your skin might love it:

🌿 Centella Asiatica Extract

A hero ingredient across SKIN1004’s range, Centella is included here for its soothing and barrier-repairing abilities.

• Calms inflammation from active breakouts or irritation
• Helps reduce redness and sensitivity over time
• Strengthens the skin barrier, which can prevent future congestion and breakouts

🧂 Pink Himalayan Salt

This isn’t your typical exfoliant. Used in just the right amount, this mineral-rich salt offers a mild detox effect without roughness.

• Gently draws out impurities and absorbs excess oil
• Leaves skin feeling fresh and clarified, not stripped
• Adds a naturally revitalizing, spa-like feel to the formula

🌿 Witch Hazel Extract & Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

This combo is all about refining and rebalancing.

• Witch Hazel: A natural astringent that helps tighten pores and reduce shine, without being too harsh
• Niacinamide: A true multitasker that:
  ✔ Controls excess sebum
  ✔ Smooths and refines uneven skin texture
  ✔ Helps brighten dark spots and post-acne marks

Together, they help keep your skin looking clear, matte, and even-toned.

Texture & Feel: Cool, Light, and Instantly Refreshing

The Poremizing Fresh Ampoule has a lightweight gel texture that feels like a splash of cold water on the skin—cooling, hydrating, and instantly calming. It spreads easily, absorbs within seconds, and leaves no stickiness or greasy finish, making it an absolute dream for humid weather or oily skin days.

Unlike heavier serums that can sit on the skin or cause congestion, this one feels breathable and weightless, even when layered under sunscreen or makeup. It gives just enough hydration without tipping your skin into oiliness.

Who Should Use It?

This ampoule was clearly made with oily and combination skin in mind, but it can also work for anyone who wants to control shine and keep pores in check without over-stripping.

✅ Ideal for:

• Oily, acne-prone, or congested skin
• Enlarged pores or frequent blackheads
• Skin that feels sticky or greasy in warm climates
• Anyone wanting a non-comedogenic, summer-friendly serum

Whether you’re trying to dial down the midday shine or simplify your routine in humid weather, this ampoule fits right in—cool, clean, and uncomplicated.

Pros: Why You’ll Love It

✔️ Refreshing Gel Texture – Lightweight and fast-absorbing, this ampoule delivers a cooling, fresh feel that instantly perks up oily or overheated skin.

✔️ Sebum Control + Pore Refinement – With niacinamide and pink salt, it helps balance oil production while visibly tightening the look of pores for a smoother finish.

✔️ Non-Comedogenic & Fragrance-Free – Great for acne-prone or sensitive skin types that react to heavy or fragranced formulas. It does the job without clogging pores.

✔️ Perfect for Summer Routines – If your skin turns slick in heat or humidity, this serum is your seasonal skincare essential—cool, breathable, and shine-controlling.

Cons: Things to Consider

❌ Not Very Hydrating – If your skin is dry or mature, this serum may not provide enough moisture on its own. You’ll want to pair it with a richer cream or hydrating serum.

❌ More Preventative Than Curative – While it’s great for maintaining clarity, it doesn’t actively treat breakouts. If you’re dealing with active acne, you may need to combine it with targeted treatments.

❌ Contains Witch Hazel – Although gentle for most, witch hazel can be drying for those with very sensitive or compromised skin, especially with daily use.

Routine Tips: How to Use It

Getting the most out of the Poremizing Fresh Ampoule is all about strategic application—especially if you have combo or oily skin.

✅ Step-by-step:

1. After cleansing, apply your toner (hydrating or exfoliating, depending on your routine).
2. Dispense 1–2 pumps of the ampoule and gently press into the skin, focusing on oilier areas like the T-zone, chin, or areas prone to blackheads.
3. Follow up with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to lock in the benefits without adding heaviness.
4. In the morning, don’t forget sunscreen—especially if you’re pairing it with any exfoliants.

🔄 Pairing tip: This ampoule works well alongside BHA-based toners, but to avoid overdoing it, consider alternating use (e.g., BHA one night, Poremizing the next).

💡 Pro tip: Store it in the fridge and apply cold for a refreshing, de-puffing boost—perfect on hot, sticky mornings or after a long day.
