The Ordinary — Balancing & Clarifying Serum, 30 ml

The Ordinary Balancing & Clarifying Serum *30 ml

Balancing & Clarifying Serum creates a clearer-looking complexion by reducing the appearance of excess oil and uneven skin texture. The formula offers a targeted approach for blemish-prone skin and is suitable for oily and combination skin, tested for all skin types.

The serum helps reduce excess shine and the appearance of enlarged pores, which are typical signs of oily skin. It all works to maintain balance of oil and water content to keep skin healthy.

In addition, Balancing & Clarifying Serum helps improve uneven skin texture, makes skin smoother, reduces the look of post-acne marks and supports radiance, making skin look clearer and brighter.

As part of our multi-active range, Balancing & Clarifying combines technologies to achieve these results:

Sarcosine and L-Carnitine: natural molecules that reduce the appearance of oil and shine.

Polyhydroxy: a patented molecule that also reduces the appearance of oil and shine. It has a unique branched three-dimensional structure made of 48 naturally derived lysine amino acids.

Adenosine: helps reduce the appearance of pores and textured areas.

N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG): an amino sugar that offers exfoliating properties similar to direct acids. Through exfoliation, it helps target signs of congestion and also addresses uneven skin tone.

Ectoine: protects the skin barrier from water loss and helps support hydration. The ingredient is an amino acid derivative produced through fermentation from ectoine, a natural molecule found in a wide range of bacteria living in extreme conditions.

Lactococcus Ferment Lysate: works to strengthen the skin barrier. It is a part of fragmented molecules derived from the breakdown of Lactococcus lactis bacteria.

Testing shows the serum's balancing and clarifying results:

• Provides clearer skin by reducing signs of congestion, including the appearance of pores, excess oil and uneven skin texture.
• Reduces the appearance of visible pores
• Minimizes excess shine
• Improves skin texture
• Reduces the look of post-acne marks
