Forehead & Chin Pore Strips

Bizarrely satisfying, these little strips bind to all the gunk on your skin and you'll know what we mean when you see what's left on the strip! Lifts away dirt, excess oil and dead skin while Witch Hazel is an amazing active, helping to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. A great quick fix but you still need to be cleansing and exfoliating regularly to keep blackhead & excess oil at bay.

What-it-does: soothing, astringent

The distillate created from different parts of the hazelnut-bush-like magic tree, commonly called Witch Hazel.
