Remedy Science Pore Refining Serum — Nightly Retinol + Salicylic Acid Gel-Lotion, 0.3% Retinol 1% BHA for Blackheads & Texture

REMEDY for Pore Size is an advanced nightly pore-refining serum that reduces the look of large pores, clears blackheads and smooths uneven texture with a blend of retinol, salicylic acid, niacinamide and botanicals.

This lightweight gel-lotion was formulated by board-certified dermatology experts to target congested pores and visible texture without heavy oils or fragrance. It combines multiple active ingredients into a single step to address stubborn sebaceous filaments, blackheads, and the enlarged appearance of pores while absorbing quickly into skin. Use it after cleansing and before moisturizer as part of an evening routine.

How does this serum make pores appear smaller?

The formula works on surface texture and pore congestion to create a visibly smoother skin canvas. Encapsulated retinol and salicylic acid promote cellular turnover and gently help clear pore blockages, while niacinamide and kinetin support an even tone and refined texture.

• 0.3% encapsulated retinol for gradual surface renewal
• 1% encapsulated salicylic acid (BHA) to help unclog pores
• 5% niacinamide to improve skin tone and reduce shine
• Perlite and green tea to absorb excess oil and soothe

Will this help with blackheads and pimples?

It targets the common factors that contribute to blackheads and congested pores rather than making medical promises. Salicylic acid helps dissolve buildup inside pores, and the balanced formula supports clearer-looking skin over time when used consistently.

• Designed to reduce sebaceous filaments and trapped debris
• Lightweight texture that won’t clog pores
• Dermatologist-created for acne-prone and oily skin types

Is REMEDY for Pore Size suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

The product is formulated without fragrance and follows a “do no harm” approach, making it appropriate for many skin types, including sensitive and combination skin. Encapsulation of active ingredients helps moderate delivery and reduce irritation potential, though patch testing is recommended.

• Fragrance-free, vegan, cruelty-free formulation
• Tested on sensitive, combination, and oily skin types
• Light gel-lotion that absorbs quickly and layers well under moisturizers

How should I add this serum to my skincare routine?

Apply nightly after cleansing and before your moisturizer for best results. Start gradually—every other night—to allow skin to acclimate to retinol and BHA, then increase frequency as tolerated. Use sunscreen during the day while using this product at night.

• Nightly application after cleansing and before moisturizing
• Begin with alternate nights, then increase frequency if tolerated
• Always pair with daytime SPF for sun protection

Who is this for: REMEDY for Pore Size suits people seeking a multitasking pore-refining step—especially those with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin who want a single serum that combines retinol, salicylic acid, niacinamide, and calming botanicals. It’s also a fit for anyone preferring fragrance-free, vegan, cruelty-free skincare that layers easily into an existing evening routine. If you have very reactive skin or are using prescription retinoids, consult a dermatologist before introducing active combinations.
