Balancing & Clarifying Serum 30 ml

Face serum

The Balancing & Clarifying Serum visibly clears skin by helping to reduce the appearance of pores, excess oil and uneven skin texture. The formulation offers an easy way to treat multiple issues and provides a total of seven key benefits for blemish-prone and congested skin. The serum is particularly suitable for oily and combination skin, but is tested and suitable for all skin types.

The Balancing & Clarifying Serum minimizes excess shine and helps to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, which can be a common problem for oily skin types. It also moisturizes throughout the day and strengthens the skin barrier to balance the skin's oil and water content without drying or staining the skin. In addition, Balancing & Clarifying Serum helps to improve uneven skin texture and leave skin looking smoother, while reducing visible signs of acne and boosting skin radiance for clearer, more radiant skin.

As part of our Multi-Active Solutions range, Balancing & Clarifying combines seven key technologies to deliver these benefits:

• Sarcosine and L-Carnitine: naturally occurring molecules that reduce the appearance of oiliness and shine.
• Polylysine: A patented molecule that also reduces the appearance of oiliness and shine. It has a unique three-dimensional branched structure consisting of 48 naturally occurring lysine amino acids.
• Adenosine: Helps reduce the appearance of pores and textured skin.
• N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG): An amino sugar that has similar exfoliating properties to direct acids. Through this exfoliation, it helps to combat signs of congestion while improving the appearance of uneven skin tone.
• Ectoin: Protects the skin barrier from water loss and helps to maintain the skin's moisture content. The ingredient Ectoin is an amino acid derivative obtained by fermentation from Ectoin - a naturally occurring molecule found in a variety of bacteria that live in extreme conditions.
• Lactococcus Ferment Lysate: Helps to support the skin barrier. It is a mixture of fragmented molecules derived from the breakdown of the bacterium Lactococcus lactis.

Application: Shake well before use and apply a few drops to the face morning and evening.
