description

Salicylic Acid is a well-known oil-soluble acid that is the gold standard in treating blackheads and enlarged pores. This exfoliating superstar can unclog pores and balance blackhead-prone, oily skin by working inside the pores to clear out dead skin cells that clog them. Sarcosine joins forces with BHA to further improve combination skin-related problems such as excess oil production.

Parfait

Tous les produits sont parfaits chez Geek and Gorgeous. Vraiment. Des formules bien pensées, simples et efficaces, sans parfum, rien d'irritant ou potentiellement allergisant. Je prends tous mes produits ici et en Kbeauty. Il y a ici de quoi faire toute une routine. Cet exfoliant est doux et je l'utilise tous les jours sans aucun problème alors que je suis sous retinal.
