Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Charcoal Face Wash 150ml150ml

Key Ingredients

• Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil: CONFIRMED present in the ingredient list, included for its traditional antibacterial/anti-inflammatory reputation, at an undisclosed (likely modest, given its position toward the end of the ingredient list) concentration
• Hamamelis virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract: CONFIRMED present, commonly included for its mild astringent and soothing properties
• Charcoal Powder: CONFIRMED present, included for its purifying/impurity-drawing marketing positioning -- while charcoal is genuinely present, its specific cosmetic efficacy for "drawing out impurities" is a marketing claim not independently substantiated by clinical data in the sources reviewed
• Prunus armeniaca (Apricot) Seed Powder: a physical exfoliating ingredient included in the formula
