Dry. Oily. Normal. One jar, three wins.
Pore Hustler is our balance-seeking treatment in a food-safe, reusable jar. It’s formulated to play nicely with skin’s natural pH and moisture needs, so you see glow—not grease—and comfort, not tightness.
First Things First: What Do “Dry,” “Oily,” and “Normal” Actually Mean?
Dry skin
-
Feels tight or rough after cleansing
-
Looks dull or “thirsty,” makeup catches on texture
-
Typically needs more water + comforting lipids to feel balanced
Oily skin
-
Looks shiny mid-day, makeup slides
-
Congestion is common, but not guaranteed
-
Needs lightweight hydration and help managing surface oil—without stripping
Normal skin
-
Feels comfortable most of the day
-
Occasional shine or dryness with seasons
-
Thrives on steady hydration and maintenance (don’t overdo it)
Myth check: “Dry” ≠ “dehydrated.” Dry is about lipids (oils); dehydrated is about water. You can be oily and dehydrated at the same time.
Skin 101: Moisture Barrier & pH (Why Balance Matters)
Your skin’s outer layer (the moisture barrier) is a brick-and-mortar model: cells are the bricks; lipids (ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids) are the mortar. When the mortar is disrupted, skin loses water quickly and gets reactive.
-
Moisture: Hydration = water content. Humectants (like glycerin) pull water in; emollients (plant oils/esters) smooth and soften.
-
pH: Healthy skin sits slightly acidic (about pH 4.7–5.5). Products that respect this range help enzymes, lipids, and microbes stay in harmony.
Translation: Keep water in, support the mortar, and stay pH-friendly. Balance follows.
How Pore Hustler Aims to Balance All Three Skin Types
We formulate Pore Hustler with a moisture-smart, pH-friendly approach and a mix of textures and botanicals designed for everyday use:
-
Humectant hydration (water-magnet support)
Draws in water to soften the look of fine texture and keep skin comfortable—key for dry and dehydrated skin types and oily skin that’s over-cleansed. -
Lightweight emollients (silky, not slick)
Plant-derived lipids smooth without heaviness, helping dry/normal skin feel plush while giving oily skin a breathable finish. -
Surface-refining support (the “pore-polish” effect)
Gentle, non-stripping refiners and balancing botanicals help improve the look of excess shine so makeup sits better and skin looks more even. -
pH-friendly design (be kind to the acid mantle)
A formula that plays well within skin’s happy pH zone helps the barrier do its best work across dry, oily, and normal types. -
Comfort-first botanicals (plant intelligence)
Nature-derived extracts are chosen for a calm, balanced feel—because reactive skin never looks like its best self.
Packaging that aligns with our values: Pore Hustler lives in a food-safe, reusable jar. When you’re done, wash and repurpose it for spices, travel snacks, paper clips—whatever sparks joy.
How to Use Pore Hustler by Skin Type
Dry skin
-
AM/PM after cleansing: apply a pea-sized amount, then seal with your favourite Hipbees moisturizer or oil.
-
Tip: Mist first → Pore Hustler → moisturizer for bouncy comfort.
Oily skin
-
AM: a thin layer after cleansing; follow with SPF.
-
PM: use as your balancing step; keep layers light.
-
Tip: Press into shiny zones only if you prefer “combination” placement.
Normal skin
-
AM/PM: smooth a thin layer over face and neck.
-
Tip: Seasonal tweak—use a little more in winter, a little less in summer.
Why “Pores” Look Different (and What You Can Influence)
Pore size is largely genetic, but appearance changes with:
-
Excess surface oil (light bounce vs. heavy shine)
-
Dehydration (pores look more visible on tight, thirsty skin)
-
Texture build-up at the surface
Pore Hustler targets the look of pores by combining light hydration + balanced emollients + gentle refining support—so skin appears smoother and makeup (if you wear it) sits more evenly.
Quick Science FAQ
Is balancing pH the same as stripping oil?
No. pH balance supports the barrier’s natural function. Stripping oil spikes dehydration and can cue even more oil.
Can oily skin skip moisturizers?
Skipping often backfires. Lightweight hydration helps signal balance so skin doesn’t overcompensate.
I’m dry—will this be enough?
Think of Pore Hustler as your balancing base. Dry skin usually loves a comforting moisturizer or oil on top.
