Our review
A cooling essence-toner built on willow bark water and betaine salicylate, aimed at the look of pores. Users often report cleaner-looking pores and a pleasant minty chill; results are modest for some, and the cooling can sting on irritated skin.

Packaging and what the product is
The photo on cosrx.com shows a frosted, translucent 100 ml bottle with a black cap and a small teal-and-white label reading “Two in One Poreless Power Liquid”. It is a watery leave-on essence/toner, applied after cleansing to the whole face or to areas with visible pores.
Ingredient analysis
Salix alba (willow) bark water replaces plain water as the first ingredient, followed by butylene glycol and hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin. Betaine salicylate, a gentler salicylic acid–related exfoliant, is the key active and sits in the upper part of the list, with arginine adjusting pH and betaine adding moisture.
Allantoin, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate are soothing and hydrating support; Cassia obtusifolia seed extract is the botanical extra. The “cooling” comes from menthyl lactate and Mentha haplocalyx (mint) extract. PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil solubilises, and 1,2-hexanediol, pentylene glycol and ethylhexylglycerin replace classic preservatives. There is no added parfum.
What to watch out for
Betaine salicylate is a salicylate, so people with a known salicylate allergy should check with a professional first. Combining it with other exfoliating acids or retinoids may increase irritation. The menthol-type cooling agents can sting on damaged or freshly irritated skin, as one reviewer notes.
What users say
On Female Daily (mostly Indonesian users) it has 3.9/5 from 80 reviews, with 83 % recommending it (checked 31 Oct 2026). Users describe pores, especially on the nose, that look cleaner or less visible, fewer blackheads for some, a fast-absorbing, non-sticky texture and a refreshing minty cool feel. On COSRX’s own store it shows 4.7/5 from 105 ratings (checked 31 Oct 2026).
Less positive comments mention only a mild effect on pores and comedones, results that depend on regular use, a sting when applied to already irritated skin and, in one case, new breakouts.
Who it may suit
People with oily or combination skin who want a light, refreshing exfoliating toner for the look of pores and blackheads. Those with sensitive, compromised skin or who dislike a cooling sensation may prefer a menthol-free option.
