Bioderma Sébium Pore Refiner

Dermatological corrector for persistent enlarged pores

Sébium Pore Refiner is a lightweight fluid created for combination to oily skin with visibly dilated pores. It smooths the skin's surface on application, controls shine through the day and leaves a soft, even finish that makes it an ideal base under make-up. The formula is non-comedogenic and tested for good tolerance.

How it works

The texture combines sebum-absorbing and blurring agents that immediately soften the look of pore openings and refine skin texture, while the patented Fluidactiv complex biologically regulates the quality of sebum so pores stay clearer for longer. Salicylic acid supports gentle surface exfoliation and Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract helps soothe the skin. In the manufacturer's tests on 10-20 volunteers aged 21-50 with combination to oily skin and dilated pores, Bioderma reports a 28% reduction in pore count and 50% smoother skin texture 15 minutes after application, and 14% pore reduction, 31% smoother skin and 84% of users with non-shiny skin at the end of the day after 8 hours.
