How does it work?:

The tiny highly porous beads Acrylates Copolymers can absorb up to four times their own weight in fluid. These beads soak up certain liquids quickly and easily, but are selective about what they can absorb. These rapidly absorb oils, but does not absorb water, as water has a very high surface tension. When Acrylates Copolymer/glycerin complex is applied to the face, the beads come in contact with lipids, such as sebum that has high affinity for them. Sebum, being oil in nature can be easily attracted to the beads. This forces the glycerin out of the beads and onto the skin surface.  The AC beads then absorb the sebum. Glycerin, on the other hand lubricates the skin, making it smooth and soft. Learn more on the Brand Website
