Clarifying Oil

Description

Marie Veronique Clarifying Oil is a deeply penetrating facial treatment oil that works with the skin’s natural oils to help address congestion. This lightweight, fast-absorbing oil is designed to reach into pores and support a balanced complexion, while maintaining moisture without leaving a greasy feel.

The formula includes argan oil, known for its nourishing qualities and ability to help reduce surface shine, alongside borage oil, which helps condition and regulate hydration. Tea tree oil is included for its purifying properties, and willow bark provides a natural source of salicylic acid to assist with gentle exfoliation and smoothing of the skin’s surface. This treatment is suited for oily and breakout-prone skin types.

HOW TO USE IT

Shake well before use. Dispense approximately 1/2 dropper of product and warm between palms. Gently smooth over face, neck, and chest, avoiding the eye area.

The brand was founded by Marie-Veronique Nadeau, a former chemistry teacher and licensed esthetician, whose passion for skin health grew out of a personal search for better aging solutions.
