Description
The Pore Firming Serum: Red Bean PDRN + Peptide is a lightweight serum focused on the look of enlarged pores and skin firmness. It comes in a 30 ml dropper bottle and uses a vegan PDRN derived from red bean, a different approach from the brightening Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide.
Key ingredients
- Red Bean PDRN – a vegan PDRN made from red bean DNA fragments, used to support smoother, firmer-looking skin.
- Peptide – a firming ingredient that supports a more elastic-feeling complexion.
- Niacinamide, squalane and ceramide – help balance and support the skin barrier.
Texture and finish
A silky, lightweight serum that absorbs quickly without a sticky or heavy feel.
Who it suits
Various skin types, especially congested skin, visible pores and rough texture. The brand presents it as non-comedogenic.
How to use it
Morning and evening, after cleansing and toner, dispense a few drops onto clean hands and pat gently onto the skin. Avoid touching the dropper to your face. Follow with a moisturizer such as Red Bean Water Gel, and sunscreen in the morning.
Who should skip it
Anyone with a known sensitivity to one of its ingredients. If you already use several strong actives, pair it with only one other active (retinol, AHA/BHA or vitamin C) at a time.
