Key actives
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. On this serum's own ingredient list it is named sixteenth.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. The panel names it seventeenth on this serum's list, beside Adenosine.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8peptide
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable. The panel names it seventh on this serum's list, beside Adenosine.
Tripeptide-3peptide
Tripeptide-3 is a three-amino-acid peptide used in multi-peptide blends. It turns up in hair and scalp formulas as often as in facial ones. It is named eighth on this serum's list, alongside Adenosine.
Acetyl Octapeptide-3peptide
Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is an eight-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines. It is usually paired with acetyl hexapeptide-8 rather than used alone. It is named ninth on this serum's list, alongside Adenosine.
How to use
- Apply a few drops to clean skin after toner or essence and before moisturizer, morning and/or night, pressing it in rather than rubbing.
Where does this serum go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Adenosine and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Adenosine?
Gluconolactone, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Tripeptide-3. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Adenosine sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4.

How it works
The Closer Pore Reducing Serum is a 30ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Adenosine, named sixteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Gluconolactone, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Tripeptide-3, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Adenosine stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the serum format rather than by the list alone. Frankly sells this Adenosine serum in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this serum on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Adenosine on the list.
- Gluconolactone on this list makes this serum an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

Peptides can be anti-inflammatory, and chronic inflammation damages the tissue in your skin.

This means that gluconolactone acts as an exfoliating acid, but also as a moisturizer. It has moisturizing, soothing, and lightening properties, working well on dry skin.
