Biome-Balancing Clear & Prevent Blemish Treatment Serum

Size
  • 30ML

Clear all types of breakouts—from whiteheads to hormonal—and prevent breakout relapses with this breakthrough serum. Salicylic acid clears, mandelic acid smooths and evens tone, and Biome-Sensing Tech + glutamic acid empower your microbiome to generate what it needs to thrive for balanced, healthier-looking skin. 

  • Biome-Sensing Tech + glutamic acid encourages a healthier, more balanced microbiome that's naturally more resistant to future breakouts
  • Glutamic acid "feeds" the skin's microbiome so it produces GABA, a protective amino acid for healthier-looking, smoother skin 
  • Salicylic acid clears and prevents breakouts, and penetrates deep to decongest clogged pores, while mandelic acid smooths and evens the complexion
  • Non-comedogenic, non-drying, non-irritating, layers well under makeup, no pilling or flaking, gentle enough for daily use
