With Glycerin, Propanediol, and Butylene Glycol in its top ingredients, INNBEAUTY PROJECT Pore Refine Pore Shrinking & Texture Smoothing Serum delivers stronger moisture-binding capability.
INNBEAUTY PROJECT Pore Refine Pore Shrinking & Texture Smoothing Serum brings Arginine, Lactic Acid, and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract as actives, while summer Fridays Midnight Ritual Retinol Renewal Serum relies on Retinyl Linoleate, Retinol, and Centella Asiatica Extract. Both approaches have merit, but the positioning and supporting ingredients make the difference.
