THE ORDINARY Balancing & Clarifying Serum
Balancing & Clarifying Serum minimizes excess shine and helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, which can be common concerns for oily skin types. It also provides all-day hydration and strengthens the skin barrier to help balance the skin's oil and water content, preventing dryness or irritation. In addition, the Balancing & Clarifying Serum helps improve uneven skin texture for a smoother appearance, while reducing visible acne marks and promoting radiance for a clearer, brighter complexion. As part of our range of multi-active solutions, the Balancing & Clarifying Serum combines seven key technologies to achieve these benefits: Sarcosine and L-Carnitine: Naturally derived molecules that reduce the appearance of oil and shine. Polylysine: A patented molecule that also reduces the appearance of oil and shine. It has a unique three-dimensional branched structure composed of 48 naturally occurring lysine amino acids.
Adenosine:
Helps reduce the appearance of pores and uneven skin texture.
N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG):
An amino sugar that offers exfoliating properties similar to those of direct acids. Through this exfoliation, it helps treat signs of congestion, while combating the appearance of uneven skin tone.
Ectoin:
Protects the skin barrier from water loss and helps maintain skin hydration. The ingredient ectoine is an amino acid derivative produced by fermentation from ectoine, a naturally occurring molecule found in a wide range of bacteria that live in extreme conditions. Lactococcus ferment lysate: Helps maintain the skin barrier. It is a mixture of fragmented molecules derived from the breakdown of the bacterium Lactococcus lactis.
