Antimatter™ Cleansing Serum by Carter Thomas
The Antimatter™ Cleansing Serum is the first product from Carter Thomas, an eco-conscious and certified cruelty-free brand created by a licensed esthetician, focusing on high performance products designed with acneic skin in mind. The cleansing serum is a sulfate-free, gel-based facial cleanser that emulsifies into a milky/balm-like consistency that helps trap excess oil and break down residual sunscreen and makeup. Saccharide isomerate, glycerin and sodium PCA work to draw in and bind moisture to preserve your skin’s natural moisture function, while extracts of centella asiatica and willow bark help calm inflammation and accelerate wound healing, making this cleanser great for sensitive and post-procedure skin. Vegan, fragrance-free and pH optimized, the Antimatter™ Cleansing Serum is suitable for most all skin types and is the first step towards a healthier complexion.
