Alfalfa
Alfalfa extract helps support lasting skin hydration, gently balances excess sebum, and visibly refines pore counts and skin texture. It suits nearly all skin types and is commonly found in nourishing serums. Because the extract layers easily, it integrates smoothly into daily skincare routines.
