Clé de Peau Beauté Essential Correcting Refiner is a refining facial essence formulated to smooth skin texture and minimize the appearance of visible pores. The formula has a lightweight, water-like texture that absorbs quickly and helps control excess surface oil while delivering hydration and smoothing benefits. It features Clé de Peau Beauté’s skin-conditioning and retexturizing technology (noted by retailers as Illuminating Complex EX) to improve surface roughness and refine skin clarity over continued use. Key effects include mattifying and pore-refining action, immediate smoothing of rough areas, and preparation of skin for subsequent serums and moisturizers. Directions for use typically recommend applying after cleansing—patting or sweeping the product across the face and concentrating on zones with enlarged pores or uneven texture—then following with treatment serums and creams. Suitable for combination to oily skin types and for those seeking texture refinement, oil control, and a smoother base for makeup application; users with drier skin may still use it for surface refinement when paired with a richer moisturizer. Refines skin texture by absorbing excess oil, minimizing visible pores, and smoothing roughness. Surface Refining Complex EX dissolves impurities and sebum to refine skin texture and minimize visible pores. Ideal for normal to oily or combination skin — refines visible pores and absorbs excess oil to smooth texture. Water-like, lightweight essence that absorbs quickly, mattifies and leaves skin smooth, non-greasy. Dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic to refine pores without clogging skin. important information This product is for external use only
