Overview
Hero Cosmetics' Pore Release is a 2% salicylic acid toner that combines AHA, BHA and PHA acids with lotus water, aimed at clearing and preventing blackheads while minimizing the look of pores. It ships as a 3.38 fluid ounce, unscented liquid.
Despite being labeled a toner in the title, the attribute data lists its item form as serum, so texture may sit between a watery toner and a thicker treatment. It's formulated for a broad range of skin types, including sensitive, and is free of dye, paraben, phthalate and sulfate. The three-acid combination is the core of its blackhead and pore claim.

Who it's for
