COSRX Red Rice Pore Peel Shot exfoliating serum 2.7 fl oz — gentle AHA BHA PHA pore-refining, hydrating formula

COSRX Red Rice Pore Peel Shot is a moisturizing exfoliating serum that refines pores and removes dead skin cells using fermented red rice and a trio of chemical exfoliants without harsh peeling.

Designed to deliver the smoothing results of a peel with the comfort of a serum, this COSRX formula combines AHA, BHA and PHA with fermented red rice, inositol and phytic acid. The blend targets visible pore size, texture irregularities and excess sebum while preserving hydration, making it suitable for daily targeted use on the face and rough areas of the body.

How does this product exfoliate without causing dryness or flaking?

The Red Rice Pore Peel Shot uses low‑irritation acids and moisturizing ingredients to dissolve dead skin cells without the sharp, surface stripping sensation of traditional peels. PHA provides gentle surface renewal while AHA and BHA help clear pore buildup; fermented red rice and inositol maintain skin comfort.

• PHA offers mild, hydrating exfoliation for sensitive skin.
• AHA gently loosens dead surface cells for smoother texture.
• BHA penetrates pores to reduce sebum and blackhead buildup.
• Fermented red rice and inositol support skin softness and barrier balance.

What visible pore and oil improvements can I expect?

Clinical testing highlights reductions in pore size and sebum production when used as directed, helping skin appear clearer and more refined. Results vary by individual, but many users see smaller‑looking pores and less oily shine over consistent use.

• Helps reduce pore volume, area and depth with repeated application.
• Can remove excess sebum that contributes to clogged pores.
• Improves overall skin smoothness and evenness in texture.
• Hydrating base prevents the tight, dry finish common with strong peels.

How should I use it safely in my routine?

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin where texture or clogged pores are a concern—face, underarms, heels or other rough areas. Start with once every other day to assess tolerance, then increase frequency as skin allows; always follow with sunscreen during daytime use.

• Use on cleansed skin; avoid broken or highly irritated areas.
• Begin slowly—every other day—then adjust based on tolerance.
• Layer with hydrating serums and moisturizers to maintain barrier health.
• Apply SPF daily when used in morning routines.

Can I use the serum beyond my face?

This generously sized 2.7 fl oz formula is suitable for targeted body areas prone to roughness or build‑up, such as heels, elbows and underarms, allowing you to treat multiple zones without waste. The serum texture spreads easily and balances exfoliation with hydration for broader use.

• Works on face and small body areas needing renewed texture.
• Large bottle provides extended use for multiple areas.
• Non‑stripping finish reduces risk of tightness on thicker skin.
• Convenient pump or squeeze application (depending on package) for spot treatment.

Who this is for: The COSRX Red Rice Pore Peel Shot suits anyone looking to refine skin texture and reduce visible pore congestion without the discomfort of a traditional peel. It's a good match for people with oily or combination skin, those seeking gentler chemical exfoliation, and anyone who wants a versatile product for face and targeted body areas while prioritizing hydration and barrier support.
