Keeping your pores pristine is one of the most important factors in achieving that perfect, selfie-ready complexion. Benefit Cosmetics (Instagram), a trailblazer since the debut of their POREfessional primer in 2010, continues to lead the charge with their latest skincare revelations.
This spring, Benefit introduces two innovative products poised to transform your skincare regime: Wow Polish and Shrink Wrap.
Wow Polish is a triple-threat pore-exfoliating powder that promises to smooth, refresh, and refine your skin’s texture. This water-activated pore polisher melds three distinct powders to target and obliterate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and enhance radiance. When mixed with water, it transforms into a lush foamy wash, leaving your skin feeling luxuriously purified and renewed.
Key Ingredients
Perlite: Absorbs excess oil for a softer, smoother complexion.
Lactic Acid (AHA): Visibly refines pores and brightens skin.
Gluconolactone (PHA): Re-texturizes and evens out skin tone.
How to Use
Activate: Shake a small amount into your wet palm, rub hands together.
Apply: Gently massage onto your face, steering clear of the eye area.
Rinse: Wash off thoroughly. Recommended usage is 1-2 times a week post-cleansing.
Shrink Wrap is an overnight AHA+PHA pore treatment designed to seal in moisture and powerful acids while you sleep. Its unique jelly-glaze texture acts like a comforting blanket for your skin, smoothing out textures and refining pores overnight. Wake up to a revitalized, glowing complexion that feels as youthful as it looks.
Key Ingredients
Resurfacing Acid Blend: A 10% mix of AHAs and PHAs including Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, and Gluconolactone.
BHA: Soothes and calms the skin.
Niacinamide: Minimizes and refines pores.
How to Use
Apply: Distribute 2-3 pumps evenly as the final step in your night-time routine.
Dry: Allow to set for 30 minutes.
Sleep: Leave on overnight, rinse off in the morning. Use up to three times a week.
Don’t forget about the star of the Pore Care collection, the Deep Retreat clay mask. This pore-clearing hero utilizes kaolin clay and sea fennel extract to draw out impurities and control excess oil, while ingredients like jojoba seed oil and prickly pear flower extract ensure your skin remains nourished and smooth.
