How it works

The clarifying mask works by incorporating a range of key ingredients designed to exfoliate and improve skin's appearance. Pumpkin enzymes facilitate gentle exfoliation, helping to remove dead skin cells and potentially reveal fresher skin underneath. Lactic acid serves as an exfoliant, further contributing to skin surface renewal. The lactobacillus/pumpkin ferment extract provides enzymatic activity which may assist in softening and refining the skin's texture. Glycerin acts as a humectant, helping to attract moisture and maintain hydration. The honeysuckle extracts are included for their antioxidant properties, which can help protect skin against environmental aggressors. Additionally, cinnamon bark and oregano leaf extracts contribute astringent and antimicrobial characteristics that may support skin clarity.
