Purifying / clarifying facial mask
Description
The Intensive Propolis + Kaolin Purifying Mask by Institut Esthederm is a concentrated clarifying mask formulated with natural propolis and kaolin to purify the skin surface, reduce blemishes, refine pores and mattify the complexion. Its creamy texture helps absorb excess sebum, reduce shine and smooth skin texture from the first application. Propolis provides antibacterial and soothing properties, while kaolin gently detoxifies the skin. Widely recommended by dermatologists for acne-prone, oily or congested skin, and suitable for use alongside aesthetic treatments targeting breakout-prone skin.
