Pore Cleansing Balm AHA

The base is a blend of plant oils, including safflower, coconut, olive, jojoba, camellia, and apricot kernel, that break down makeup and sebum, with emulsifiers so it turns milky and rinses away clean under water. Toward the end of the formula sit four AHAs (glycolic, lactic, tartaric, and malic acids) that add a mild exfoliating nudge to smooth texture and brighten dullness over time. Scoop a small amount, massage it over dry skin for about a minute, then add a little water to emulsify and rinse, following with a water-based cleanser. Use it in the evening as your first cleanse. It contains citrus and lavender oils for scent along with low-level acids, so patch test if your skin reacts to fragrance or exfoliating acids.
