Clarifying Retinol Facial Oil For Pores & Brightening

Face Oil · 30 ingredients

A clarifying facial oil formulated to target enlarged pores, uneven texture, and signs of aging. Clinical retinol and pro-retinol work alongside pink algae to smooth fine lines and rough texture, while salicylic acid exfoliates pore-clogging debris for a more refined appearance. Mountain red raspberry soothes and protects the skin throughout. It is best suited for those concerned with visible pores, dullness, and anti-aging.
