## Key benefits

- Preps and softens skin before serum and treatment steps
- Lighter, water-first texture rather than a heavy formula
- Focused use on pore-prone zones like the nose and chin
- Brought in as the exact Korean-market SKU TIRTIR sells at home, not a separate US-market formulation

## How it works

This toner is built to follow cleansing in the Porexel routine, prepping and softening skin before the line's serums and treatments go on. As a lighter, water-first step, it is meant to remove any remaining residue after cleansing and leave skin receptive to what comes next, rather than to deliver a heavy treatment on its own. It is meant to follow cleansing and precede serum, while skin is still slightly damp, so the water-based formula has a receptive surface to work into. This particular listing is the 120ml size TIRTIR sells for the line, packaged and formulated for the Korean market rather than a separate US release.

## How to use

1. Sweep a cotton pad soaked in toner across the face after cleansing, paying attention to the nose, chin and other areas prone to visible pores. Follow immediately with the rest of the Porexel routine while skin is still damp.

## FAQ

### Should I use this before or after serum?

Before. It is the toner step, applied right after cleansing to prep skin so the serums and treatments that follow have a cleaner base to work into. This is general guidance rather than a fixed rule, so adjust it based on how your own skin or the product itself responds.

### Is this toner strong enough to use alone for pore care?

It is built as a prep step within the wider Porexel line rather than a standalone pore treatment, so pairing it with the line's serum gives the fuller routine effect.

### How much should I use per application?

Enough to lightly saturate a cotton pad, or a few pressed palmfuls if applying by hand, is the usual amount for a toner step. This is general guidance rather than a fixed rule, so adjust it based on how your own skin or the product itself responds.

### Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?

This is TIRTIR's Korean-market formula, sourced and shipped with its original Korean-market packaging and batch coding rather than a separate US-reformulated version. Korean Pharmacy stocks the exact SKU sold through Korean retail rather than a substitute built for US shelves, which is the point of buying from a specialist rather than a general beauty retailer.

### How should I store this to keep it in good condition?

Keep the cap or compact closed between uses and store it away from direct sunlight and heat, the same way you would any cosmetic. A cool, dry spot such as a drawer or cabinet keeps the texture and finish consistent for longer than leaving it exposed on a warm windowsill or in a hot car.
