Reduces Large Pores
Pores are tiny openings in the skin that release sweat and oil. Everyone has them, and it’s completely normal for them to be visible. While factors like excess oil, acne, sun damage, and even genetics can make pores appear larger, these ingredients may help minimize their appearance. Just keep in mind: you can’t erase pores entirely, and that’s okay!
Good for Scar Healing
These ingredients are commonly used to support the skin’s natural healing process and improve the appearance of scars over time. While results can vary, they may help with texture, discoloration, and overall skin recovery.
