VENETIAN BEAUTY SACHETS, make it possible to remove blackheads casily without the fear of leaving a permanent open pore to mar the skin. Next close the pores with VENETIAN PORE CREAM, it is a greaseless astringent cream which contracts the distended pores, corrects their faxness and refines the coarsest skin.

For Pimples and Spots, VENETIAN HEALING CREAM should be lightly applied over the affected spots, as soon as they appear. For those who prefer a lotion VENETIAN ACNÉ LOTION is excellent, it can also be used as a powder base over the affected skin..
