Balancing Cream
The Balancing Cream is an oil-free moisturizing cream containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic and lactic acid which offers several benefits for the skin, especially for those with oily or combination skin types. Here are the key benefits:
- Exfoliation: Glycolic and lactic acids are both AHAs known for their exfoliating properties. They work by gently dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be sloughed away more easily. Regular exfoliation helps to improve skin texture, reduces the appearance of blackheads, pimples, reduces pore size, fine lines and wrinkles and promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion.
- Increased Hydration: Despite being oil-free, moisturizing creams containing AHAs can provide effective hydration to the skin. These creams often contain humectant ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which attract moisture to the skin and help to lock it in, keeping the skin hydrated and supple without adding excess oil.
- Brightening Effect: AHAs like glycolic and lactic acid can help to brighten the skin by promoting cell turnover and revealing fresh, new skin cells underneath. Regular use of an AHA moisturizing cream can help to fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, resulting in a more luminous complexion.
- Improvement of Skin Tone and Texture: By exfoliating the skin and promoting cell renewal, AHAs can help to improve overall skin tone and texture. They can smooth out rough patches, refine the skin's surface, and even out skin tone, leaving the skin looking smoother, softer, and more even.
- Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products: Exfoliating with AHAs can help to remove the buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, allowing other skincare products to penetrate more effectively. This can enhance the effectiveness of serums, treatments, and sunscreen applied afterwards.
- Reduction of Acne and Breakouts: AHAs have anti-inflammatory properties that can help to calm redness and irritation in the skin. They can also help to unclog pores, reduce the formation of acne lesions, and prevent future breakouts, making them beneficial for those with acne-prone skin.
- Anti-Aging Benefits: Regular exfoliation with AHAs can stimulate collagen production in the skin, leading to improved skin firmness and elasticity. This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time, resulting in a more youthful-looking complexion.
Directions of Use:
- Cleanse: Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
- Apply: Dispense 1 pump of mattifying Cream onto your fingertips and gently massage it onto your skin, focusing on areas prone to acne or congestion. Avoid the delicate eye area.
- Allow Absorption: Allow the cream to absorb fully into your skin before applying any additional skincare products.
- Follow with Moisturizer and Sunscreen: After applying the mattifying cream, follow up with a moisturizer to hydrate and nourish the skin. During the day, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays, as salicylic acid can increase sensitivity to sunlight.
Frequency of Use:
For best results, use the mattifying Cream cream twice daily, morning and night. If you have sensitive skin you may want to start by using it every other day and gradually increase frequency as tolerated.
Suitable for:
Oily skin types especially teens and acne prone skin.
