Pore Thing Acne Cleanser 4oz

Details

A barrier-friendly, daily cleansing gel with multi-level exfoliators to target problem pores and clarify skin. Sebum-soluble salicylic acid penetrates through excess oil and clogging debris to break down impurities. Azelaic acid gently dissolves the bonds of dead skin cells, while natural willow bark extract works like a vacuum on excess oil. Apple fruit extract helps maintain barrier hydration, as antioxidant green tea soothes. Skin emerges fresh, bright, smooth and purified.

Esthetician’s Note

• “A healthy, strong barrier is key when dealing with the cycle of acne and clogged pores. This professional formula isn’t your average cleanser. Pore thing is designed to clear and unclog pores while simultaneously safeguarding skin’s hydrolipidic barrier. It’s a clinical formula that prioritizes skin health without skin-stripping surfactants or sulfates – just barrier-friendly botanicals and acne fighting salicylic acid.” – Beth Bialko, licensed esthetician and Bioelements Senior Director of Education
