Science
Mechanism of Action
Works through triple-action technology: spherical microspheres scatter light to optically blur skin imperfections, porous acrylic structures absorb excess sebum (60-100 mL/100g capacity), and the ball-bearing particle structure enhances product spreadability and skin feel.
