Product Overview

ilso Moringa Tightening Pore Serum features Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract at 397,700 ppm, equivalent to 39.77% of the formula as reported by the product listing. Moringa extract is included to help condition the skin and support a smoother-looking complexion.

The formula combines niacinamide with retinol and exfoliating ingredients, including lactobionic acid (PHA) and capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA). This combination targets the appearance of uneven texture, excess sebum, and enlarged pores. Retinol also supports skin renewal and the appearance of firmness.

Squalane, ectoin, polyglutamic acid, and multiple forms of hyaluronic acid help maintain moisture, while adenosine and peptides complement the skin-conditioning formula.
