Tingling Skincare Treatments

Tarte Cosmetics' 'Knockout' Exfoliates, Balances and Minimizes Pores

Tarte Cosmetics recently added the Knockout Tingling Treatment to its skincare collection, introducing a multipurpose product that provides a gentle resurfacing.

True to its name, the Knockout Tingling Treatment includes a 10% acid complex of salicylic and lactic acid, which intentionally causes a slight stinging, tingling or burning sensation, as with most acid-based skincare products. In this product, the acids help to exfoliate and balance the skin, minimize the look of pores, control oil and prevent acne. As such, the hard-working formula has even been touted as "a workout for your skin."

To make sure one's skin doesn't feel dry or stripped following a treatment, Tarte Cosmetics also included sulfur, niacinamide and glycerin in its Knockout Tingling Treatment formula to further clarify, soothe, hydrate and all-around revitalize the look of the skin.
