Valmont Primary Solution 20 ml

A Local Treatment for Minor Imperfections

Valmont Primary Solution is a local application serum for minor imperfections. The brand describes it as targeting pimples, dry patches and minor lesions, controlling them and helping minimize their appearance. It is made for all skin types, and it is a spot treatment rather than a product for the whole face.

The ingredients the brand builds it on

• Borage oil, which soothes and calms irritation.
• A keratinolytic agent, which promotes the elimination of dead cells in inflamed areas.
• LP complex, which promotes the balance of the skin's flora for optimal barrier protection.

What is in the formula

33 ingredients. The oils are sunflower seed oil at position 3 and borage seed oil at position 10. Zinc PCA sits at 18. The formula is fragranced: fragrance at position 28, followed by five declared allergens, citronellol, eugenol, hydroxycitronellal, limonene and linalool. Our suggestion is to patch test on the jaw first if fragrance has bothered you before. It sits on the Swiss cellular skincare shelf, which runs much wider than blemishes.

How to Use

Morning and evening, apply locally to imperfections, then follow with the treatment most suited to your skin. The brand's own tip is to press very gently on the pump to control the speed of the flow.

A spot treatment works better alongside a daily routine chosen for congestion than on its own.
