The formulation
Ingredient stack
Each ingredient is listed in descending concentration. Above the 1% line the order is regulated — below it, brands can list in any order.
Ingredients above the dashed gold line are dosed above 1% (the regulatory threshold) — these are what the formulation is really built on. Percentages are positional estimates from INCI order unless a brand discloses them.
An oil-soluble BHA that exfoliates inside the pore, dissolving the sebum and dead-cell plugs behind blackheads and congestion. Anti-inflammatory and especially suited to oily, acne-prone skin.
A humectant that binds water in the upper skin layers for immediate plumping and hydration. Multi-weight forms reach different depths. Apply to damp skin and seal with moisturiser, especially in dry climates.
