The Skin Care Pen can also be used preventively to correct small irregularities at an early stage.
Oily skin (skin type 3)
Oily skin tends to have a shiny appearance . Enlarged pores , pimples , and blackheads are common problems.
Thorough cleansing and oil-free, mattifying products are essential. The Skin Care Pen helps

Sensitive skin (skin type 5)

For mature skin, anti-aging aspects are paramount. With increasing age , the skin loses elasticity and moisture, leading to wrinkles and dark spots.
