Key Ingredients & How They Work
At the heart of the Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm lies a potent blend of ingredients chosen for their synergistic effects. Kaolin clay works to absorb excess oil and draw out impurities, while Salicylic Acid (BHA) penetrates deep into pores to exfoliate and dissolve trapped sebum and dead skin cells, visibly reducing blackheads and blemishes. Tea Tree provides its renowned purifying and soothing properties, helping to calm irritated skin. Centella Asiatica, a beloved K-Beauty staple, supports skin barrier health and aids in soothing the complexion. Finally, Jojoba Oil, known for its resemblance to natural skin sebum, helps to thoroughly cleanse without over-drying, maintaining skin’s delicate balance. Together, these ingredients create a powerhouse formula for unparalleled clarity.
