I used Fenty Skin’s viral toner serum for a month. No filter.
The real test? Seeing if my pores looked less like tiny craters by week three.
It’s a 2-in-1 toner and serum from Fenty Skin for $32. Claims to shrink pores and smooth texture. I’m deeply skeptical of celebrity skincare.
Texture
Feels like water, not sticky at all.
Scent
Light, fresh, not perfumey — a relief.
Speed
Absorbs in under 10 seconds. Seriously fast.

It’s a niacinamide-heavy cocktail. That’s the pore-refining, oil-controlling star. Plus some brighteners and a dash of witch hazel.
- Niacinamide: The main event for pores & shine
- Kakadu Plum: Vitamin C for brightness
- Witch Hazel: A mild astringent
- Cactus Water: For hydration, not just vibes
It’s slippery — glides on. Dries to a soft, velvety finish. Not tight. Not tacky.
Surprise: My skin drank it up. No irritation, even with daily use. That’s rare for me.
Pores? Visibly smoother, but not invisible. Texture improved more than pore size. The biggest win was consistent, balanced hydration all day.
It’s not magic, but it’s good. The product stands up without the celebrity name attached.
