description

Salicylic Acid is a well-known oil-soluble acid that is the gold standard in treating blackheads and enlarged pores. This exfoliating superstar can unclog pores and balance blackhead-prone, oily skin by working inside the pores to clear out dead skin cells that clog them. Sarcosine joins forces with BHA to further improve combination skin-related problems such as excess oil production.

teint éclatant et pores moins visibles

Je l'utilise depuis sa sortie, il fait le teint éclatant et affine les pores de la peau, il faut en mettre très peu, je l'utilise tous les matins et le flacon me dure longtemps. C'est un excellent rapport qualité prix.

It works!

I’ve been using this for 4 weeks now. And this has helped with a lot of my acne. I did purge in areas I usually get acne but the pimples were gone in about a week. I like that the formula doesn’t dry my skin out (like PC’s). However this doesn’t do much for scars, so you’ll need another product for that.
