BE THE SKIN Pore Zero BHA Serum for Blackheads, 1.01 fl oz — Glycolic AHA & Cica, lightweight

BE THE SKIN Pore Zero BHA Serum is a lightweight leave-on exfoliating serum that targets blackheads and visible pore congestion using willow-derived BHA plus glycolic AHA while soothing with multiple Cica actives.

This serum combines two complementary acids with a calming botanical support system to refine texture without abrasive scrubs. Formulated for oily and combination skin, it focuses on loosening dead-skin buildup and excess sebum that contribute to clogged pores and uneven surface texture. The product is tinted by a chlorophyllin-copper complex rather than artificial dyes, absorbs quickly, and is designed to layer under moisturizer and sunscreen.

How does this serum address blackheads and visible pores?

The formula uses willow-derived BHA (salicylic acid source) plus glycolic acid (AHA) to help dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells and surface sebum, which can make pores look congested. Because it is a leave-on serum, it works continuously between applications to refine texture without physical abrasion.

• Willow-BHA penetrates oily pores to help clear trapped oil and debris.
• Glycolic AHA smooths rough surface texture and supports more even skin tone.
• Lightweight, non-sticky base allows easy layering under other skincare steps.

Will it irritate sensitive or reactive skin?

To reduce irritation risk, the serum includes four Cica-derived actives (madecassoside, asiaticoside, asiatic acid, madecassic acid) plus allantoin and a patented Ulmus davidiana complex to soothe and help skin feel comfortable. Still, acids can cause sensitivity when first introduced, so gradual use is recommended.

• Supportive botanicals help minimize stinging and redness for many users.
• Start slowly—apply 2–3 evenings a week and increase as tolerated.
• Avoid combining with other strong exfoliants on the same night to limit irritation.

How do I add this serum to my routine for best results?

Apply after toner on clean skin, using 2 to 3 drops pressed gently into the T-zone or areas with visible congestion. Because the product is a leave-on acid serum, follow with moisturizer and always use broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect recently exfoliated skin.

• Use 2–3 drops per application; press into skin rather than rubbing vigorously.
• Begin with 2–3 nights weekly, then gradually increase frequency based on tolerance.
• Do not layer with other strong exfoliating acids or retinoids in the same routine without professional guidance.

What are the notable ingredients and formulation details?

The serum derives its green tone from a chlorophyllin-copper complex instead of artificial colorants. In addition to willow-BHA and glycolic acid, the formula contains multiple Cica actives, allantoin, and a patented Ulmus davidiana complex to balance exfoliation with calming support.

• Chlorophyllin-copper complex provides the natural green tint.
• Cica derivatives and allantoin soothe post-exfoliation sensation.
• Free from parabens, mineral oil, and artificial colors; vegan and cruelty-free.

Who is this for: BE THE SKIN Pore Zero BHA Serum is intended for people with oily or combination skin who want a non-abrasive treatment to reduce the appearance of blackheads, sebaceous filaments, and uneven texture. It suits users who prefer lightweight, fast-absorbing serums that layer under moisturizer or sunscreen. If your skin is very dry, highly reactive, or you are using multiple active exfoliants, proceed cautiously and consider consulting a skincare professional before combining treatments.
