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.

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.
