COSRX Red Rice Pore Peel Shot is a gentle exfoliating and pore-refining treatment formulated with rice extract and inositol. Designed to help reduce dead skin cells by 94%, this peel shot works to smooth skin texture and minimize the appearance of pores without harsh scrubbing. The inclusion of AHA, BHA, and PHA provides a multi-acid approach to exfoliation: AHA works on the skin’s surface to brighten and even tone, BHA penetrates pores to dissolve excess sebum and blackheads, while PHA offers a milder exfoliation suitable for sensitive skin. Rice extract is known for its nourishing and soothing properties, helping to maintain hydration and strengthen the skin barrier. Inositol, a component of rice, supports moisture retention and pore refinement.

This product is suitable for those seeking a non-abrasive blackhead remover and face exfoliator. The lightweight, serum-like texture absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue. It can be used as part of a regular skincare routine for oily, combination, or normal skin types, especially for individuals looking to address clogged pores, uneven texture, or dullness. The formula is free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, and is dermatologist-tested. For best results, apply a small amount to clean, dry skin after cleansing, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 5–10 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Use 1–2 times per week, depending on skin tolerance. This peel shot offers a practical, affordable option for consistent pore care and gentle chemical exfoliation.
