SKIN1004 Poremizing Gel Cream is a lightweight cica balm-hybrid formulated with Himalayan pink salt and centella asiatica for barrier repair and pore refinement. The gel-cream texture bridges balm and moisturizer—richer than a serum but less occlusive than traditional ointments. Key actives include centella for soothing irritation and salt for oil balance. Marketed for pore care and oil control, it suits combination to oily-sensitive skin seeking repair without heaviness. Popular in Korean skincare circles and on Reddit's skincare communities for calming redness and post-procedure use. The 75ml tube ($19.90, ~$7.83/oz) offers good value. Best for: those wanting cica benefits without greasiness; acne-prone or congested skin needing barrier support.
