SKIN & LAB Porebarrier Cleansing Balm 100ml

SKIN & LAB Porebarrier Cleansing Balm is a soft sherbet-textured cleansing balm designed to thoroughly remove stubborn makeup, sunscreen, blackheads, and daily buildup in one easy step. As the balm melts into oil on contact with skin, it breaks down impurities without stripping away moisture, leaving skin feeling fresh, smooth, and comfortable after rinsing.

What makes the SKIN & LAB Porebarrier Cleansing Balm stand out is its pore-focused formula powered by LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid), a gentler exfoliating ingredient that helps target excess sebum and clogged pores while remaining suitable for regular use. The silky texture emulsifies beautifully with water, so there’s no heavy residue afterward. If you enjoy a double-cleansing routine, pair it with SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam  for an even fresher finish.

Key Benefits

• Deep Makeup Removal — Quickly dissolves waterproof makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil without harsh rubbing.
• Pore Care Support — LHA helps loosen buildup inside pores for smoother-looking skin over time.
• Non-Stripping Finish — Emollient-rich ingredients keep skin feeling soft instead of dry or squeaky.
• Gentle Daily Cleansing — The SKIN & LAB Porebarrier Cleansing Balm emulsifies easily and rinses clean.
• Smooth Skin Texture — Helps reduce the feeling of roughness caused by excess sebum and dead skin buildup.

Key Ingredients

Here’s what powers the SKIN & LAB Porebarrier Cleansing Balm:

Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA)

A gentler derivative of salicylic acid that helps clear away excess sebum and pore buildup without feeling overly harsh. It’s commonly used in pore-care products because it exfoliates more slowly and comfortably than traditional BHAs.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

A lightweight emollient derived from coconut that helps dissolve makeup and sunscreen while keeping skin soft. It gives the balm its silky glide without feeling heavy afterward.

PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate

This cleansing agent helps oils and impurities lift away easily when water is added. It’s one reason the balm rinses off smoothly without leaving an oily film behind.

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

A conditioning ingredient that creates the soft, velvety texture of the balm. It helps the cleanser spread evenly across the skin with minimal tugging.

Caprylyl Glycol

A skin-conditioning ingredient that supports hydration and helps prevent skin from feeling tight after cleansing. It also contributes to the smooth after-feel of the formula.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Often used in gentle skincare formulas, this ingredient helps support product stability while adding a light skin-conditioning effect.
