Pores Look Less Visible

Makeup Applies Better

Creates a perfectly smooth canvas. Users report foundation 'glides on' and sits evenly without catching on dry patches or texture.

Gentle Enough for Daily Use

Formulated to exfoliate without irritation. Many note it's 'not harsh' and doesn't leave their skin feeling tight or sensitive.

Targets Blackheads & Bumps

Works on those stubborn little bumps and blackheads along the nose and chin that resist regular cleansing.

Prevents Future Clogging

A consistent part of your routine helps keep pores clear, so problems are less likely to come back.

Brightens Dull Complexions

Gently removes the layer of dead skin cells that can make skin look tired and lackluster, revealing a fresher glow.

Simplifies Your Routine

One product replaces harsh scrubs and stripping toners. It's an easy, effective step that delivers real results.

Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare science, this serum was created for those whose pores feel clogged by modern city life—pollution, stress, and daily makeup. Our chemists developed a unique, gentle exfoliating essence to refine skin texture without harsh scrubbing, using a patented blend of AHA and BHA. Every batch is produced in a Japanese GMP-certified facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistency. It's not a quick fix; it's a daily ritual trusted by over 1 million users in Japan, consistently ranking as a top-selling pore care product in major Japanese beauty magazines for its reliable, non-irritating results.

The Kose One By Kose Clear Peel Serum - Pore Refining Exfoliating Essence is formulated with a targeted blend of ingredients designed to exfoliate, refine pores, and enhance skin clarity. Key components include AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) and BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid), which work synergistically to dissolve dead skin cells and excess sebum, promoting cellular turnover and unclogging pores for a smoother texture. Niacinamide is incorporated to regulate oil production, reduce inflammation, and improve skin barrier function, thereby minimizing pore appearance and redness. Hyaluronic acid provides deep hydration, ensuring the exfoliating process does not compromise skin moisture, while botanical extracts like licorice root and green tea offer antioxidant protection and soothe irritation. This combination delivers benefits such as refined pores, reduced blackheads, enhanced radiance, and a balanced complexion, making it suitable for those seeking effective yet gentle exfoliation.
