The first drop barely registers as weight — it slips in on contact, leaves nothing tacky behind, and releases a cool herbal-mint note as it goes. This lotion is built for the contradiction of skin that is oily on the surface and tight underneath.

[Essential oil x penetrating nano-capsules] Moisture capsules one-thousandth the size of a pore, built from 100% plant-derived phospholipids and carrying three botanical extracts. The formula tunes surface tension, viscosity and sebum affinity so a water-based lotion is not repelled by surface oil, but travels down into the stratum corneum.
[THREE's own Minami-Aso peppermint oil] Grown for the brand in Kumamoto, it brings a cool, tightening finish while easing the discomfort that excess sebum leaves behind.
[Three botanical extracts] Peppermint leaf, sage leaf and houttuynia — long used to keep skin from roughening — help refine pores and settle the complexion.
[Scent] Peppermint over bergamot: a clear, herbal-citrus accord that makes the step worth a slow breath.
[92% naturally derived] (ISO 16128, water included). Allergy-tested and non-comedogenic tested.

Best for: visible pores, skin that turns oily on top while feeling tight underneath, and uneven texture.

How to use: After cleansing, take 2-3 pumps into the palm. Breathing in the scent, press it gently over the face from the centre outwards, then cup the whole face in both hands.

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