System Verdict
Glossy peptide cocktail, but as a “pore reducing” serum this is mostly marketing fantasy with hydration and mild anti-aging—not real pore shrinkage. The formula is heavily water–glycerin–glycol based with a dense cluster of signal peptides and copper peptide likely at low concentrations, which can support texture and fine lines over long-term use but cannot anatomically reduce pore size; gluconolactone and sodium hyaluronate add gentle exfoliation and hydration, yet there is no meaningful sebum-regulating or astringent active, so the pore claim is oversold and drives a moderate, not high, efficacy score.
