Pore Care Kit — 03 Steps

Pores don't respond to one thing. They respond to a sequence. Exfoliate with BHA, control with 20% niacinamide, renew with retinal — three steps, one reset.

The Sequence

Sweep, control, renew.

Each step clears the way for the next: a BHA pad lifts what's clogging the pore, a high-dose niacinamide serum works on oil and tone, and a retinal cream renews. In order, they reset the surface.

Step 01 / Sweep

Pore Peeling Pad

BHA Clearing Pad

Sweep · BHA

Betaine salicylate lifts dead cells and sebum from inside the pore, with tea tree and Centella keeping skin calm through the sweep.

The clearing step. Betaine salicylate (BHA) dissolves the dead cells and sebum that block pores, while tea tree leaf oil, Houttuynia and a Centella complex keep the sweep calm rather than stripping. Arginine and hyaluronic acid soften the finish.

Step 02 / Control

THE 20 Niacinamide Serum

High-Dose Niacinamide Serum

Control · Niacinamide 20%

A high-dose niacinamide serum takes on oil, texture and tone once the surface is clear.

The number is the point. Niacinamide at 20% — confirmed second on the ingredient list — takes on excess oil, rough texture and uneven tone. Zinc PCA supports sebum balance and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid adds a stable vitamin-C brightening note.

The Science — Why 20%

A concentration you can name.

Most niacinamide serums sit at 2–10%. THE 20 places niacinamide directly after water on the INCI list at a verified 20% — the rare formula in this range where the headline number is the formulation, not a marketing rounding.

Retinal Dual Active Spot Cream

Step 03 / Renew

Retinal Dual Active Spot Cream

Retinal + Bakuchiol Renewal Cream

Renew · Retinal + Bakuchiol

Retinal for speed, bakuchiol for gentleness — a dual-active finish that renews without overloading.

Two renewers, balanced. Retinal at 0.05% works fewer conversion steps than retinol, while bakuchiol at 0.8% brings a plant-based, gentler renewal alongside it. Niacinamide and a glycerin-rich base keep the pairing comfortable for targeted use.

Key ingredients

  • Retinal0.05%Fast renewal
  • Bakuchiol0.8%Gentle renewal
  • Niacinamide2.0%Tone & barrier
  • BisabololVerifiedSoothing
  • Glycerin14.9%Moisture base

The Science — Dual Active

Strong and mild, on purpose.

Retinal (retinaldehyde) sits one step closer to active retinoic acid than retinol, so it acts faster; bakuchiol offers a plant-based renewal signal with a gentler profile. The "Dual Active" name is the formula — one strong, one mild, working together.

All ingredient names, roles and percentages are drawn from each product's official full-ingredient (INCI) statement. Retinal is a night-use active — pair with daytime SPF and introduce gradually. Statements describe cosmetic care of oil, texture and tone and make no medical or pharmaceutical claims.
