Product detailsThe Ordinary Balancing and Purifying Serum for Oily Skin A multi-action solution designed to reduce signs of skin congestion by reducing excess shine and refining the appearance of pores for clearer skin.
Balancing & Clarifying Serum provides clearer skin by helping to reduce the appearance of pores, excess oil, and uneven skin texture.
The formula offers a simple way to treat multiple concerns, offering a total of seven key benefits for blemish-prone and congested skin.
While it's particularly suitable for oily and combination skin, it's clinically tested and suitable for all skin types.
Balancing & Clarifying Serum reduces excess shine and helps minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, which can be a common problem for oily skin types.
It also provides all-day hydration and strengthens the skin's barrier to help balance the oil and water content of the skin, preventing it from drying out or stripping.
Furthermore, Balancing & Clarifying Serum helps improve uneven skin texture for a smoother-looking complexion.
It also reduces the visible signs of acne and boosts radiance for a clearer, more radiant complexion.
As part of our range of multi-active solutions, Balancing & Clarifying combines seven key technologies to achieve these benefits: Sarcosine and L-Carnitine: Natural molecules that work to reduce the appearance of oil.
Polylysine: A patented molecule that also reduces the appearance of oil and shine.
It has a unique three-dimensional structure composed of 48 amino acids, including the naturally derived lysine.
Adenosine: Helps reduce the appearance of pores and irritated skin.
N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG): An amino sugar that provides exfoliating properties similar to direct acids.
Through this exfoliation, it helps target signs of congestion, while also addressing the appearance of uneven skin tone.
Ectoin: Protects the skin barrier from water loss and helps maintain skin hydration.
Ectoin is an amino acid derivative produced through fermentation from ectoin—a naturally occurring molecule found in a wide range of bacteria that thrive in harsh conditions.
Lactucus Ferment Extract: Helps support the skin barrier.
It is a blend of fragmented molecules derived from the hydrolysis of Lactucus lactis.
