Naked Instant Pore Refining Face Cream

What makes me unique

I am especially suitable for oily and blemished skin by regulating your sebum production. Furthermore, I ensure your skin's natural moisture retention while being exceptionally mild. As a face cream or primer, my natural pigments provide you with an even complexion and leave a silky-soft feeling on the skin. Impressive not only because of my high effectiveness but also because I am the first NATRUE-certified product containing azelaic acid.

Squalane, azelaic acid, and organic baby apricot extract.

Application

How I unfold my effect: apply me to your face morning and evening after cleansing and gently massage me into your skin. Then, let my precious active ingredients take care of the rest.

What is squalane?

It is widely used in cosmetic products as it creates a silky and soft skin feeling with no greasiness. In addition, similar to the skin's own squalane, it prevents the skin from losing moisture and supports the absorption of other cosmetics.
