Hanyul Ginkgo Leaf Pore Resurfacing Serum
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-25
What is this product?
A 40 ml watery pore serum from Korean brand Hanyul, sold for visible pores, excess sebum and uneven texture. The 31-entry list puts niacinamide second, with a printed 10 percent, and carries gluconolactone, citric acid and salicylic acid behind a combined 8.4 percent AHA, BHA and PHA figure, plus ginkgo leaf extract at 40ppm, a peptide at trace level, adenosine and a fragrance entry. It is a registered functional cosmetic for wrinkle improvement. Headline pore figures are short-term self-scoring or shares of participants who felt a change, and a 24 percent actives figure does not match the printed percentages.
What makes it different?
Pairs high-placed niacinamide with a salicylic acid, gluconolactone and citric acid blend in a watery, oil-free base dispensed by dropper, with a statutory wrinkle-improvement function; the ginkgo peptide named in the product title is present only at trace level.
