Key actives
Niacinamidebrightening, barrier-supporting
Niacinamide sits in the formula as the brightening and barrier workhorse of the routine, the same B3 vitamin dermo-cosmetic protocols reach for when a complexion looks dull, blotchy or prone to visible redness after cleansing.
Tranexamic Acidbrightening acid
Tranexamic Acid is the brightening acid Korean dermatology reaches for on stubborn, patchy discoloration, formulated here for a complexion that looks uneven rather than uniformly dull.
Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extractantioxidant botanical
Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract is grapeseed under its INCI name, added for its antioxidant reputation and its light, fast-absorbing feel in a daily formula.
Sodium Hyaluronatehydrating humectant
Sodium Hyaluronate is the humectant carrying the water-binding job in this formula, drawing moisture into the surface layers and giving the texture the cushioned, dewy slip that a Korean essence or serum is known for.
Waterformula base
Water forms the base of the formula, carrying every water-soluble ingredient on the list evenly across the skin and giving the texture its spreadable, non-greasy feel.
How to use
- Warm a small amount between the palms and press evenly over the face and neck as the last step of a morning or evening routine.
What is the Pore+ Dark Spot Brightening Pad 100ml/40ea?
Pore+ Dark Spot Brightening Pad 100ml/40ea is Celimax's cushioned moisturizer, formulated as moisturizing step in a Korean skincare routine. It suits normal, dry, combination skin types, and it is sourced here as the authentic Korean-market formula rather than a US-shelf reformulation.
How should I use the Pore+ Dark Spot Brightening Pad 100ml/40ea?
Warm a small amount between the palms and press evenly over the face and neck as the last step of a morning or evening routine. Working it in this order keeps the cushioned texture behaving the way Celimax formulated it to, rather than rushing straight to the next step in the routine.
How often should I use this moisturizer?
Morning and evening as the last step of a routine, adjusting the amount for how dry or oily skin feels that day. Consistency across a full skin cycle of several weeks matters far more than an occasional use for a moisturizer like this one, since most of its benefit shows up with steady, repeated application.
Who is this moisturizer best suited for?
This moisturizer is best suited for normal, dry, combination, oily skin, particularly anyone dealing with dullness and an uneven-looking tone. Give a full skin cycle before judging results, since brightening actives work slowly and gradually.
What are the key ingredients in this moisturizer?
The formula lists Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract among its ingredients, alongside the rest of the base that carries them across the skin. Each one is named here in the exact form it appears on Celimax's own ingredient list, not inferred from the product name.

How it works
Pore+ Dark Spot Brightening Pad 100ml/40ea is Celimax's cushioned moisturizer. Niacinamide sits in the formula as the brightening and barrier workhorse of the routine, the same B3 vitamin dermo-cosmetic protocols reach for when a complexion looks dull, blotchy or prone to visible redness after cleansing. Tranexamic Acid is the brightening acid Korean dermatology reaches for on stubborn, patchy discoloration, formulated here for a complexion that looks uneven rather than uniformly dull. The cushioned texture sinks in without a greasy residue, leaving skin feeling comfortably moisturized without any heaviness. It sits in a Korean routine as the moisturizing step, best layered as the last step of both morning and evening routines.
Worth knowing
- Give a full skin cycle before judging results, since brightening actives work slowly and gradually.
- Patch test on the inner arm before a first full-face application if skin tends to react easily.
- Store away from direct sunlight and high heat to keep the texture and scent stable over time.
- Introduce one new active at a time when adding this into an existing routine.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
