BOTANICA BALANCING SERUM

Skin Priorities Addressed

• Excess oil production
• Enlarged, visible pores
• Combination skin imbalance
• Inflammation and redness
• Uneven skin texture

How It Works

This balancing serum addresses the root causes of oily and combination skin concerns. Niacinamide at optimal concentration regulates sebum production by reducing the activity of sebaceous glands while simultaneously strengthening the barrier to prevent moisture loss that can trigger rebound oiliness. Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection and helps maintain the skin's lipid balance. Panthenol soothes inflammation often associated with excess oil production. HylaTech™ ensures hydration without adding oil, maintaining the delicate balance combination skin requires.
