Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Refreshing
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Tonic
Brightens uneven skin tone
Controls excess oil
Locks in moisture
Minimizes pores
Traditional Use
Bilberries have been used in European traditional medicine for centuries to support vision and circulation. The fruit and leaves were traditionally used in herbal remedies, and modern skincare recognizes their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
