Product overview
Key Ingredients
- Niacinamide (marketed at 5%): the second-listed ingredient (right after water), consistent with a meaningful concentration; supports skin tone, texture, and barrier function. The 5% figure is the brand's stated concentration; MedEasy could not independently lab-verify this exact percentage, as the ingredient list itself does not print concentrations
- Zinc PCA (marketed at 1%): included for its oil-balancing, pore-purifying reputation, listed shortly after Niacinamide -- directionally consistent with the claimed 1% concentration though not independently verified
- Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA: included for hydration support alongside the correcting actives
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: included for its soothing, hydrating properties
- Full confirmed INCI list: Aqua, Niacinamide, Zinc PCA, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Propanediol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, HPMC, Phenoxyethanol, EDTA, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Hydroxide
