BLITHE Targeted Pore Serum — 22% Niacinamide 1 fl oz, Oil-Control Mattifying Formula for Enlarged Pores

BLITHE Targeted Pore Serum is a concentrated 22% niacinamide formula designed to mattify oil, refine visible pores, and smooth skin texture.

This lightweight Korean-style serum blends a high dose of niacinamide with a tannin complex, anti-sebum ingredients, green tea derivatives and supportive lipids to target enlarged pores while remaining suitable for sensitive or oily-prone skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film and layers easily under moisturizers or sunscreen.

How does this serum help reduce visible pores?

The formula works on surface appearance by controlling excess oil and improving skin texture, which makes pores look smaller over time. Astringent botanical tannins and oil-regulating actives shrink the look of pores while niacinamide improves skin tone and resilience.

• 22% high-strength niacinamide helps regulate oil production and strengthen the skin barrier.
• Tannin Complex HR provides tightening, pore-refining action without harsh irritation.
• Anti-Sebum P reduces shine for a matte finish that disguises enlarged pores.

Will this be too strong for sensitive skin?

Although the serum contains a high percentage of niacinamide, BLITHE's formulation balances potency with soothing ingredients and dermatological testing to minimize irritation. Start with a patch test and introduce it gradually; many users with oily or combination skin tolerate it well when used a few times per week.

• Includes ceramides and peptides to support barrier health and reduce irritation risk.
• Dermatologically tested and developed to be gentle on reactive skin types.
• Recommended to build tolerance—apply every other day before increasing frequency.

How should I layer this in my skincare routine?

Use the serum after cleansing and toning, before heavier creams or sunscreens. Its water-light texture allows it to sink in quickly, so follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration and then apply SPF during the day.

• Step 1: Cleanse and apply toner or essence.
• Step 2: Dispense a few drops of the BLITHE serum and press into the T-zone and cheeks.
• Step 3: Finish with moisturizer and daytime SPF.

What active ingredients support pore control besides niacinamide?

BLITHE combines niacinamide with supporting actives from Korean skincare research to balance oil and refine texture. Ingredients like EGCG and green caffeine bring antioxidant and circulation-supporting properties while peptides and ceramides help rebuild and fortify the skin surface.

• EGCG and green caffeine for antioxidant support and refreshed look.
• Peptides to support structural resilience and healthier texture.
• Ceramides to reinforce the lipid barrier and maintain moisture balance.

Who is this for: This serum suits people with oily, combination, or texture-prone skin who want a targeted, high-strength niacinamide treatment to reduce shine and the look of pores. It's ideal for K-beauty enthusiasts seeking an advanced pore-minimizing step, for those transitioning from general toners to active-packed serums, and as a thoughtful skincare gift for someone who prefers concentrated, fast-absorbing treatments.
