LANEIGE Balance Mode Shine Control Moisturizer — Lightweight Pore-Minimizing Matte Finish

LANEIGE Balance Mode Shine Control is a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer formulated to hydrate oily skin while helping control shine and visibly reduce the appearance of pores.

Designed with a fluid texture and powered by LANEIGE's Rice-Inamide Complex — a blend of rice-derived ingredients and niacinamide — this moisturizer delivers balanced hydration without clogging pores. It absorbs quickly, is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and suitable for sensitive, blemish-prone skin. The formula aims to maintain an oil-moisture balance for up to eight hours so skin feels comfortable and looks less shiny throughout the day.

How does this moisturizer manage shine without drying out skin?

The Balance Mode formula uses lightweight hydrating agents that replenish moisture while supporting oil control. Instead of heavy emollients that can sit on the surface, it relies on fast-absorbing fluids that leave a soft, matte-finish feel. This approach keeps skin hydrated but not greasy.

• Fluid, non-greasy texture for quick absorption
• Rice-Inamide Complex balances moisture and sebum
• Helps maintain oil-moisture equilibrium for up to 8 hours

Will this product make pores look smaller?

While no topical can permanently change pore size, this moisturizer helps refine the skin’s surface so pores appear smoother and less obvious. Niacinamide in the Rice-Inamide Complex improves skin texture and supports barrier function, contributing to a visually minimized pore look over time.

• Niacinamide helps improve surface texture
• Hydration reduces the exaggerated look of pores
• Light-reflecting, matte finish diminishes shine that highlights pores

Is this safe for sensitive or blemish-prone skin?

Yes — the formula is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, designed to avoid pore-clogging ingredients that can aggravate breakouts. The gentle Rice-Inamide Complex supports barrier resilience, making it suitable for those with reactive or blemish-prone skin when used as part of a consistent routine.

• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk
• Non-comedogenic formulation prevents clogging
• Suitable for sensitive and blemish-prone skin types

How should I use this moisturizer in my daily routine?

Apply morning and evening after cleansing and toning while skin is slightly damp to lock in moisture without heaviness. Use a pea-sized amount and gently smooth over face and neck; it layers well under sunscreen and makeup. For best results, combine with gentle cleansing and targeted treatments as needed.

• Use AM and PM after cleansing and toning
• Apply a small amount to slightly damp skin for better absorption
• Compatible under sunscreen and makeup
