The texture is almost water, carrying the faint amber a plant extract naturally has. It spreads with no weight at all; press it over the nose and forehead and the greasy film lifts, leaving skin smooth rather than tight.

【Phellodendron Bark Extract】Phellodendron bark comes from the Amur cork tree and has a long history as a Japanese herbal material. Bottled here on its own as a humectant, it is left to do one job: keep skin clear and even.

【Water and oil, back in balance】A shiny T-zone with drier cheeks is usually a ratio problem rather than an excess of oil. This ampoule works on that balance, so the areas that turn greasy read fine-grained and dry again.

【Clean skin, less recurring roughness】When skin stays clean, oil is less likely to leave it rough. As the surface settles, makeup and the rest of your routine glide on far more easily.

【It slots into what you already use】Nothing has to be rebuilt. Read your skin as it is today, pick the ampoule that answers it, drop it into your lotion or emulsion, and the routine stays the same while the focus becomes yours.

Suitable for: combination skin with a shiny T-zone and drier cheeks; skin that turns rough and unsettled once it gets oily.

How to use: After cleansing, prepare the skin with your lotion (toner). Take 2 to 3 drops in the palm and press them over the whole face, or concentrate on the T-zone, then seal with emulsion or cream. You can also drop 1 to 2 drops straight into your lotion or emulsion and mix.

Patch-test on the inner arm before first use. If redness, itching or stinging occurs, stop use and consult a dermatologist.
