Noticeable shine, visible pores and a rough texture can persist after basic cleansing. Perfecting mattifying facial lotion adds exfoliating and skin-smoothing care to this step. It helps maintain the skin's naturally acidic pH and give it a more even, matte appearance.
Mattifying facial lotion: key benefits
- Gently exfoliates dead skin cells with a combination of citric, mandelic and lactic acids.
- Reduces skin shine and provides a mattifying effect.
- Affipore® helps reduce the visibility of pores.
- Burdock and birch extracts complement the cleansing action.
- Helps improve skin texture and even its tone.
- Maintains the skin's naturally acidic pH and does not need rinsing.
Ingredients and action
Citric, mandelic and lactic acids help exfoliate dead cells and improve skin texture. Affipore®, at 1.5% in the formula, is a complex derived from Barosma betulina leaves that helps reduce visible pores and shine. Burdock and birch extracts add cleansing benefits, while butcher's broom and ivy extracts and thermal trace elements support skin renewal. Leave the lotion on the skin to work after cleansing.
How to use
Evening skincare at home
- Before first use, check skin tolerance by applying a small amount inside the elbow or behind the ear.
- After cleansing, moisten a cotton pad with a small amount of lotion. Gently apply to the face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye contour. Do not rinse.
- Start once or twice a week. Gradually increase frequency to every evening according to skin tolerance.
Daytime use
- If using the lotion in the morning or during the day, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Adjust frequency to skin tolerance.
Professional treatment
- Use Perfecting lotion after makeup removal and Re-White micropeeling. If the skin is particularly thickened, include Re-White facial exfoliant before the lotion. Follow with Calmsense toner and the subsequent treatment steps.
A mild tingling sensation may occur during application. In the event of individual hypersensitivity, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
