After a successful global launch, The Ordinary, a skincare brand from DECIEM has introduced its Balancing & Clarifying Serum in Singapore. This serum is positioned as a skincare essential for those dealing with common skin issues like enlarged pores, excess oil, and uneven texture.
The Ordinary is known for democratising the “single” ingredient skincare market. formulating products that highlight 1-2 key ingredients for a targeted approach to specific concerns. The new serum uses multi-pathways particularly helpful for complex skincare concerns that may be caused by a multitude of factors. offering one simple yet powerful solution to target congestion.
Priced at S$43, this serum is said to feature seven skin-clearing technologies to address pore congestion, making it a versatile product for tackling multiple concerns in one go. The formula includes key ingredients such as:
N-Acetyl Glucosamine for exfoliation and brightening, which smoothens uneven texture.
L-Carnitine, Polylysine, and Sarcosine to reduce oil production, control sebum build-up, and minimise shine.
Adenosine to improve the structure of pores, resulting in a more refined appearance.
Lactococcus Ferment Lysate and Ectoin to reinforce the moisture barrier, ensuring hydration without clogging pores.
This lightweight serum is particularly well-suited for individuals with oily and combination skin types. Its multi-functional approach means it can replace multiple steps in a skincare routine, which aligns with the growing trend of “skinimalism.” This would work well for those who believe that less is more for your daily skincare routine.
