Will oil clog my pores or make me break out?
Thoughtfully Answered
Not if it's the right oil. TSORI formulas are meticulously curated using non-comedogenic oils chosen to balance the skin’s sebum, not suffocate it. However, using too much, too often, or layering without water-based hydration may cause buildup for some skin types. Less is always more.
What should I do if I get tiny white bumps or congestion?
Thoughtfully Answered
This could be the result of overuse or residue. Try using less product, and ensure you're rinsing thoroughly when using it to cleanse. Introduce gentle weekly exfoliation if needed.
Are other waterless products on the market truly waterless?
Thoughtfully Answered
Not always. Some wear the name but hide water in hydrosols or extracts. At TSORI, waterless means just that—no water in any form, only pure, potent botanicals in their truest state.
Is it safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Thoughtfully Answered
Yes, TSORI was developed with reactive skin in mind. We avoid common irritants, essential oils are kept at micro-dose levels, and all formulas are balanced with barrier-loving lipids. That said, no product is universally safe for all skin. Always patch test.
Do I need a water-based product alongside this?
Thoughtfully Answered
Our formulas are water-free by design, but your skin still benefits from hydration. Apply to damp skin for best absorption.
