FERRIC CHLORIDE

Iron(III) Chloride

Safety grade: A

Ferric chloride is an iron-based compound that has been used in skincare for its ability to tighten and firm the skin. It works by causing minor contraction of skin tissues, similar to how certain minerals can create a tightening sensation.

As an astringent, ferric chloride helps tighten and contract skin tissue, reduce the appearance of pores, and control excess oil production for a more refined skin appearance.
