What the gurus are saying

Centella and peptides are what most of the praise centers on, with plumping, hydration and a calm, soothing feel. The pore claim divides opinion, since some takes say it can make pores look less obvious while others doubt it will do much for them at all. Still, some of the takes point out the peptide level is 0.001% or less, so anyone buying it mainly for peptides may want to look elsewhere.

"These peptides minimize the appearance of the pores by gently increasing the amount of collagen in these areas and also helping to unclog them, removing some of the blackheads and sebaceous filaments that can make them appear more enlarged in the first place. This works really, really well and I've been using this for the past 4 years, but in the last 6 months I've actually switched to a different pore serum because I think its formula is just better."

"The pore minimizing fresh ampule is peptide based packed full of peptides specifically collagen boosting peptides which over time if used consistently will minimize the appearance of pores. Does what it says on the tin and I love that."
ULTIMATE KOREAN SKINCARE ROUTINE - Korean Skincare Awards (My Favourites)
"When I want plump, when I want hydrated, when I want skin that looks drenched in hydration, I reach for this. This is the Skin1004 Pore Perfecting Centella Ampoule. This is my peptide serum and hydrator all-in-one. It's packed full of peptides, centella, it calms, it soothes. I use an entire pipette. I know that's lavish, I know it's extra, you don't need to, you can use less, but for me for £14 pounds which is what this is and you get 100ml, it's worth it."

"I loved this so much when I tried it I actually featured it in a standalone video. [...] I would recommend this for everyone that's looking for a little peptide fix in their skincare routine, but also it's a bit of a duo serum, so this is your centella fix and your peptide fix all in one. If you're already reaching for the other one by Skin1004, maybe swap it out for this one. I think it'll elevate the results and it's the exact same price."

"This is their pore minimizing fresh ampoule, it's a peptide fix, it's like a peptide powerhouse in a bottle. You get 100 ml of product so this will last you for the longest time and I pay 14 pounds for it, so super affordable. It's a really really nice anti-aging peptide serum. You can use it wherever you want in your skincare routine, it's so easy to just slot it straight in and get some added benefit."

"It'll minimize the size of pores which is often one of the biggest concerns in our teenage years. It'll suppress any breakouts. It's calming and soothing and it's just a great all-round serum. I still use it [...] and I'm nearly 40. [...] For anyone over the age of like 30, using this is going to have some great anti-aging benefit. The peptides in here are going to boost collagen and elastin, minimize fine lines and wrinkles, calm, soothe, shrink your pores. Whatever age you are, get this."

"This is a quick fix for dehydration. It'll give you that beautiful glass skin, plumped, dewy looking skin with just one application. It's packed full of peptides and humectants which are going to deeply nourish and hydrate, but it just gives you that seamless glow. If you've got dryness prone skin type, it's really hard to get that glowing skin look because dehydrated skin just struggles to get that radiance through, well this is a really quick fix."

"If hyperpigmentation is the issue go for this brightening one. If you want just some overall anti-aging benefit and hydration the pore minimizing one is great. Both of these are wonderful. I love the packaging, I just think it looks so bougie and so lovely. The 100 ml in both of them, so I think I paid 14.99 for each, 100 ml last you like three months. I love that. Definitely an eight out of ten. I think these two centella based serums are definitely worth a look."

"I'll be honest, I've thoroughly enjoyed them. I think they've worked well. I've noticed an increase in hydration, a little bit of extra plumping, which I attribute to the one, the pore minimizing one."

"I don't think I've seen a peptide serum like this from the Korean skincare market that's this well formulated for a long time. [...] This is actually the 30 mil, they do a 50 mil and 100 mil version. I think I would get one of the bigger sizes because mil for mil it's much more cost effective. [...] I would go for a bigger one because you're going to be using this twice a day every day and your skin is going to drink it up and get so many great benefits."

"And you've got some other pore clarifying ingredients, too. I've tried a lot of pore minimizing, pore shrinking serums over the years, and this is probably one of about three that actually works. Use this consistently morning and night and in about six weeks after you first use it, you'll start to notice your pores are shrinking, your skin confidence is going through the roof, and it helps to minimize the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads. It's just a great all-rounder."

"I would probably say reach for the Pore Perfecting Centella Ampoule because you're getting the centella you need and you're getting some peptides alongside it at the same price so you're getting more for the same. I think it's a no-brainer."
NEXT LEVEL PEPTIDE SERUMS - Ultimate Botox In A Bottle Anti Aging
"It's so affordable, it's absolutely beautiful in terms of its appearance and the way it just glides onto the skin. It's so lightweight, just absolutely glides onto the skin. This is a great option with so many peptides in here, but specifically for people that are looking to minimize the appearance of pores, help with any textural irregularities on skin, smooth things out, minimize the appearance of pores and just boost your skin confidence in general."

"It's like a three-in-one. What I love about this, though, is it calls itself pore minimizing, and it actually does that. I've tried a lot of pore minimizing products, and this and the remedy for pore size [...] are the only two I have ever tried that have had a meaningful impact on the size of my pores. So if you're looking to shop Korean skincare for pore size, I would definitely recommend this one."
KOREAN SKINCARE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS - *Not Sponsored*
"This is one of the most powerful peptide serums you're going to find, packed full of multiple different anti-aging peptides which will also have some benefits when it comes to minimizing oil production and overall shrinking the size of your pores. I must have used, I think coming on for 10, maybe 15 bottles of this and I still use it every single day. It's just a beautiful serum that just about everyone can incorporate."

"I would recommend using a salicylic acid a couple of weeks alongside this in order to flush out any dirt and debris in the pores because that'll just get those results going a bit quicker. This actually works. It's really inexpensive. It is so budget friendly. [...] It's one of the few products in the world that genuinely shrinks the size of your pores. If you're consistent with it, give it a couple of months, you will see the results."

"I'm not a huge fan of the name because it felt like too much, customers [...] will expect this but nothing's going to make your pores small, so not really, maybe laser but it just comes back. It's not a simple way, it just felt like what's the difference. The texture is very watery so you could use it as an everyday serum, but [...] if I use this one I'm going to use another serum after because it just goes away too quickly."
~Mixed
"It's basically an anti-inflammatory formula. They've used Centella, aloe, panthenol, and peptides. I love this actually to repair a damaged skin barrier. I don't think it's going to do much for the pores."
~Mixed
"I love peptides, but the concentration here is 0.001% or less, so I wouldn't recommend this for the peptides. This is a product I was super excited to try, and for me it just didn't compare to the ordinary's dipeptide serum, though pores aren't a big problem for me so I can't say if it deserves its high ranking. It ended up being not my favorite ampoule from the brand."
~Yay
"I loved this. It surprised me. It's got centella with Madagascar centella products, asiaticoside, madecassoside. These are anti-inflammatory, soothing. There's some preliminary evidence that they may help with healing, potentially improving the final appearance of scars, and even helping with radiation dermatitis. This also has a variety of peptides and hyaluronic acid. No niacinamide if you're sensitive. I found it very hydrating and soothing. I enjoy centella. I do find that it calms the skin."

"The Skin1004 Pore Perfecting Centella Ampoule is another antioxidant plus peptide hydrating serum. This had a little bit more of a wow factor as far as the plumping and smoothing and it kind of almost gave this consistent hydrated dewy glow all over the face just with a few drops. I went through this towards the end of 2025 and I had since finished it up, I want to say early December, using it morning and I would often use it at night as well. It's a product [...] that I have finished up."

"The Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Pore Perfecting Fresh Ampoule contains centella and lightweight hydrators like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, as well as a variety of peptides that help to improve water content in the skin. Through improved water retention, you have a plumping and smoothing effect that diminishes pore size. And by improving water content and light scattering, it makes the surface of the skin appear smoother, more radiant, and those pores a lot less obvious."

"It's not strikingly different from many of their other toners, and it's not as thick or [...] viscous as the Madagascar Centella Ampoule I like so much from them, but it's really good, I genuinely enjoyed it. I felt like my skin tone brightened up a bit using it. It doesn't have niacinamide if you're sensitive to that. I like this brand, everything I've used has been very good quality. It's $32.99 for the two bottles."

"I almost passed this by because the name is sort of weird to me, but if you want to try this, I could not recommend more highly. If you actually are looking for something for your pores, this tackles dark spots as well, which is also why I'm including it because I love a multitasking product."
