“•88% agreed that Clarifier helped to improve the appearance of pore-clogged skin.”

Exfoliation1 ingredient credited for this claimStrong support
“VISIBLY MINIMIZES PORES Salicylic Acid unclogs, clarifies, and visibly minimizes the look of pores.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.
Moisturizing6 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“BALANCES MOISTURE Rosehip, Argan, and Meadowfoam Oils help to balance moisture levels.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: argania spinosa kernel oil, hippophae rhamnoides oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Evens skin tone1 ingredient credited for this claimLimited support
“IMPROVES SKIN TONE • Sea Buckthorn reduces visible redness and irritation.”
This product might help improve the skin tone through exfoliation. In other words, it helps to speed up the shedding of cells from the upper layer of the skin, and this might help reduce hyperpigmentation.
