The Ordinary Balancing & Clarifying Serum 1 Fl Oz - Oil Control & Pore Refinement
About this item
Balancing & Clarifying Serum combines seven key technologies to provide visibly clearer skin, by helping to reduce the look of pores, excess oil, and uneven skin texture. Sarcosine and L-Carnitine are naturally occurring molecules that reduce the appearance of oiliness and shine. Polylysine is a patented molecule that also reduces the appearance of oiliness and shine. It has a unique three-dimensional branched structure that is composed of 48 naturally-derived lysine amino acids. Adenosine helps reduce the appearance of pores and textured skin. N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG) is an amino sugar that offers similar exfoliation properties to direct acids. Through this exfoliation, it helps target signs of congestion, while also targeting the look of uneven skin tone. Ectoin protects the skin barrier against water loss and helps maintain skin hydration. The ingredient ectoin is an amino acid derivative produced via fermentation from ectoine - a naturally occurring molecule found in a wide range of bacteria that live in extreme conditions. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate works to help support the skin barrier. It is a mixture of fragmented molecules derived from the breakdown of the bacteria lactococcus lactis.
