Perfectly moisture-balancing serum for skin that tends to be oily / 1 oz

twelveLab (formerly TWELVE Beauty) Ideal Rebalancing Level Serum is like the twin sibling of the brand’s Ideal Moisture Level Serum, only this one is made specifically for oily, combination, and younger skin.

It’s an ultra-light, oil-free, water-based serum that helps reduce the production of sebum while at the same time reducing pore size and providing just the right amount of hydration. Oily, combination, and acne-prone complexions will welcome its moisture-regulating abilities: unlike many moisturizers and hydrating serums made for these skin types, this one truly helps balance moisture levels over time rather than drying out the skin.

Like its twin, Ideal Rebalancing Serum is made with the longest-chain hyaluronic acid on the market. This creates a permeable film on skin to plump fine lines while, over time, ensuring that it stays elastic and hydrated. It’s particularly helpful for sensitive, irritated skin; frequent flyers; or those who are constantly exposed to adverse weather conditions, central heating, or air conditioning.

Wondering how this new version differs from the original? As Pedro told Dara, "This contains five types of hyaluronic acid, cherimoya (a neurocosmetic active ingredient), and supermetabiotics. Instead of delivering living bacteria or nutrients that feed bacteria, supermetabiotics focus on the production of multiple active metabolites, the biochemical outputs of microbial life that directly contribute to the health of the microbiome and the cells. It follows the 'water bank' concept I love: saccharide isomerate binds to skin's keratin to maintain hydration. And it contains N-Acetylneuraminic acid, which has been clinically proven to boost the release of key neurotransmitters such as oxytocin, serotonin, and beta-endorphins in the skin. It helps with sebum modulation and bacterial control, and it's calming and soothing, perfect for reactive skin and skin with a tendency towards acne."
