In youth, skin renews/exfoliates itself roughly every 28 days so that pores remain relatively clean and clear.
However, from the 30s on, while skin continues to renew itself, it takes a little longer than a month to do so and longer again with the passing years.
Due to the slowing of that natural shedding process as we age, excess dead skin cells, oils and debris remain trapped in the pores and continue to build up, causing the pores to expand. This makes them appear much larger than they actually are.
Unfortunately, foundation and other makeup used to try and cover the problem can often worsen the situation over time. By using overly hard exfoliatants, cleansers or oil reducing products to combat the problem can actually make it a whole lot worse.
EvaPore-8, developed by Melbourne biochemist Terri Vinson and her Synergie Skin research team, is a gentle but effective post-cleansing, pore-refining tonic designed to sooth, hydrate and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Skin will appear clearer and more luminous without excess shine.
This tonic is designed for the 30-plus market but can be used on skins of all ages and types: Oily, blemised and problem skins and on those who have enlarged pores for other reasons.
Affipore (Barosma Betulina leaf extract) is the breakthrough botanical ingredient in EvaPore-8 that significantly reduces the diameter of the pores and minimises excess oil production, thus and facial shine.
Other key ingredients and benefits include:
- Hydrolysed tomato skin – a potent antioxidant to neutralise skin damaging free radicals
- Aloe vera – a botanical soothing active
- Witch hazel – a botanical astringent and skin-soothing agent
- Sodium PCA – a powerful skin hydrator that holds several times its weight in water
