Korean Skincare Routine for Large Pores and Uneven Texture- Oily Skin

Routine Overview

Kbeauty Skincare Routine for Large Pores and Uneven Texture - Oily Skin

This routine is designed to make pores look cleaner and texture look smoother without over-stripping oily skin. It combines gentle low-pH cleansing, controlled AHA/BHA pad exfoliation, 10% niacinamide-based pore and oil support, lightweight soothing moisturizer, and daily sunscreen.

What results to expect (realistic):

• 7-14 days: smoother-feeling surface texture and less visible buildup.
• 3-6 weeks: cleaner-looking pores and more even texture, especially around the T-zone.
• 8-12 weeks: the best refined-pore appearance with consistent exfoliation and barrier support.

The 5 Products (Luxiface catalogue)

1) Cleanser: [PyunkangYul] Calming Low pH Foaming Cleanser 150ml

Why it fits oily pores: This low-pH cleanser removes oil and residue without relying on aggressive pore stripping. Centella-derived ingredients and hydrating support help keep the barrier comfortable.

• Removes excess sebum and daily buildup.
• Supports calmer skin before exfoliation.
• Helps avoid stacking an overly aggressive cleanser with acid pads.

2) Exfoliating Toner Pads: [Medicube] Zero Pore Pad 2.0 70pcs

Why it is the main texture step: AHA/BHA exfoliating pads help reduce dead-skin buildup and keep pores looking clearer.

• Supports smoother-looking texture.
• Helps reduce recurring congestion and blackhead buildup.
• Works best when frequency is adjusted to tolerance.

Frequency: Start 3 nights/week and increase only if skin remains comfortable.

3) Treatment Serum: [Jumiso] Niacinamide 10% Serum 40ml

Why it fits large pores and uneven texture: This serum combines 10% niacinamide with tranexamic acid, succinic acid, Zinc PCA and soothing ingredients to support oil balance, smoother texture and a refined-looking pore appearance.

• Supports clearer-looking pores and smoother skin.
• Helps manage excess sebum.
• Provides lightweight, non-greasy hydration support.

Tip: On exfoliating-pad nights, use a thin serum layer rather than treating your face like a chemistry practical.

4) Moisturizer: [Dr.G] Red Blemish Clear Soothing Cream EX 70ml

Why oily skin still needs this: Lightweight Cica-focused hydration helps keep the barrier stable so regular exfoliation remains tolerable.

• Hydrates without heavy greasiness.

• Supports long-term texture improvement through better tolerance.

5) Sunscreen (AM only): [CellFusionC] Advanced Clear Sunscreen 100 SPF50+/PA++++ 50ml
