A Korean pore care softener from ilso — inspired by their iconic nose pore strips, now in liquid form. Soak a cotton pad, press onto problem areas for 10–15 minutes, and let the formula melt hardened, oxidized sebum from the inside of pores so it lifts out gently — no squeezing, no pulling, no pore damage. Skin irritation tested. Suitable for sensitive skin. Has fragrance. Set includes: 150ml softener + 40 cotton pads.
- Sebum Remover Complex — Melt + Prevent Oxidation — ilso's signature complex built from their pore strip know-how. Squalane softens and dissolves hardened sebum buildup. Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract prevents sebum from oxidizing and turning into the dark, stubborn plugs that form blackheads. Together they address both existing buildup and future oxidation.
- Papaya Fruit Extract + Papain Enzyme — Gentle Exfoliation — Papain is a natural enzyme derived from papaya that breaks down the keratin and sebum bonds holding dead skin cells in pores. Dissolves buildup without scrubbing — leaving skin texture visibly smoother after each use.
- Slightly Alkaline Formula — pH 8–9 — sebum is acidic, so a slightly alkaline pH helps neutralize and dissolve it more effectively. This is the same principle behind ilso's pore strips. The formula is still skin irritation tested and safe for sensitive skin despite the elevated pH.
- Centella Asiatica + Heartleaf + Chamomile + Purslane — Soothe — four calming botanicals that reduce any irritation from the pore-clearing actives and leave skin calm and balanced after treatment.
- Mushroom Extract + Willow Bark + Witch Hazel — Tone + Refine — Ganoderma (Mushroom) Extract brightens and supports skin renewal. Willow Bark provides natural salicylates to keep pores clear. Witch Hazel tightens and minimizes the appearance of pores after extraction.
Open pores with warm water. Soak a cotton pad with the softener and press onto areas with blackheads or sebum buildup for 10–15 minutes. Gently remove softened sebum with a cotton swab or tool. Rinse thoroughly with water. Has fragrance. Set: 150ml + 40 cotton pads.
