- The Ordinary The Balance Set
Stripping back unnecessary packaging and misleading ingredients, The Ordinary offers an abundance of brilliant, high-performance products at eye-wideningly reasonable prices. A fully curated skin care wardrobe, the The Balance Set is tipped to transform your face's fortunes — especially if you suffer from blemish-prone skin that’s been knocked out of balance. In this foursome you’ll find: the {Squalane Cleanser}, {Salicylic Acid 2% Masque}, {Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%} and {Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA}.
Uniting full sizes of the {Squalane Cleanser}, {Salicylic Acid 2% Masque}, {Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%} and {Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA}, The Balance Set houses a quartet of The Ordinary heroes — all set to work together by bringing equilibrium to skin that’s out of sync.
The cleanser is carefully formulated for all skin types, cleverly dissolving make up and the day’s dirt while simultaneously moisturising with a combination of squalane and other lipophilic esters. The jelly-like mask is enriched with BHA (beta hydroxy acid) salicylic acid to gently exfoliate away pore-clogging debris and reduce inflammation. The Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum regulates sebum production to minimise the look of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and blemishes. The moisturiser feeds skin with a direct topical supplement of Natural Moisturising Factor components, which are made up of multiple amino acids, fatty acids, urea, ceramides and hyaluronic acid — plus other compounds that are naturally present in skin — to keep its outer layers protected and well-hydrated.
Squalane Cleanser (50ml):
Rub the cleanser in your palms to warm it until it melts into an oil. Massage into dry skin, then rinse with warm water.
Salicylic Acid 2% Masque (50ml):
Use once or twice a week after cleansing on dry skin. Apply evenly on your face, then leave for 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Do not use on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes both during application and rinse off. Patch testing prior to use is advised: Apply the product as directed to a small area once a day for three days to test if you are sensitive to this product. If you develop severe irritation, hives, swelling of eyes and mouth, blistering, or difficulty breathing, rinse off, cease use and consult a physician right away. Keep out of reach of children.
