Excess sebum, impurities, pollution… the skin must be completely clean before it can benefit from other treatments.

It provides in-depth cleansing, regulating excess sebum and eliminating blotches and blackheads, leaving the skin soft, smooth and clear.

Caution! Try not to rub your face with a washcloth; you risk lodging bacteria there.

Pat dry. Do not rub dry. Rubbing the skin is irritating, and excess irritation....that's right....can lead to more breakouts.

Now that the face has been thoroughly cleansed, it's time to tighten pores and tone the skin, for a beautifully radiant, clear complexion.

Once cleansed and toned, the skin requires moisturizing. Sebum levels must be regulated in order to prevent the skin from becoming oily once again, while moisture levels in dry areas must be maintained to avoid a feeling of tightness.

Pure Zone from L'Oréal Paris is a true forerunner - A complete, multi-phase treatment system composed of 3 daily steps that work together which combines a Dermo-Calm™ complex, composed of soothing active ingredients with sebum-reducing qualities, along with salicylic acid, which promotes the exfoliation of dead cells. Salicylic acid stimulates the skin’s turnover rate so that fresh clear skin can be brought to the surface faster. This combination helps control the excessive accumulation of oil while it continuously acts to prevent breakouts. The result? Healthier, cleaner skin.
