    Balancing & Clarifying Serum

    Balancing & Clarifying Serum provides visibly clearer skin, by helping to reduce the look of pores, excess oil, and uneven skin texture. The formulation offers a simple way to treat multiple concerns, offering a total of seven key benefits for blemish-prone and congested skin. While especially suited to oily and combination skin, it is tested and suitable for all skin types.

    Balancing & Clarifying Serum minimizes excess shine, and helps reduce the look of enlarged pores, which can be common concerns for oily skin types. It also provides all-day hydration and strengthens the skin barrier to help balance skin’s oil and water content, to avoid drying or stripping the skin.

    In addition, Balancing & Clarifying Serum helps to improve uneven skin texture for smoother-looking skin, while also reducing visible post-acne marks and promoting skin radiance to make skin look clearer and brighter.

    Testing shows Balancing & Clarifying Serum:

    • Provides visibly clearer skin by helping reduce signs of congestion including the look of pores, excess oil and uneven skin texture
    • Reduces the look of enlarged pores
    • Minimizes excess shine
    • Improves skin texture
    • Reduces the appearance of post-acne marks

    Not good for facial KP

    After two days, caused my facial KP to explode on my cheeks and forehead. I stopped using it. and the KP immediately went away. Disappointed.

    Definitely works for oily acne prone skin 

    I prefer my Paula‘s choice products that do the same thing, but this formula works perfectly well in a pinch. It’s a bit less drying as well.
