    Gentle blanket of protection.

    The Ordinary Balancing & Clarifying Serum is made for Oil Control and Pore Refinement, as well as finding areas of your skin where you could have some issues, or congestion. The formula is light, goes on smoothly and dries down to create a light blanket of protection as it does work throughout the day. Although I rarely get breakouts, it came in time to help me treat one at the moment, and I appreciate how gentle it is so I look forward to clearer skin.

    Amazing for my combination skin!

    My combination skin have a lot of issues, and this serum to be completely honest addresses most of them really, takes care of dryness but also controls oils especially on my t zone, where I have bumps and dots and lots of yuk. Absolutely fantastic, absorbs fairly quickly and works well with my moisturizer. Definitely amazing and I'm super happy with it, no issues or irritations!
