Formulation view Uses water, glycerin, and propylene glycol as a base with biosaccharide gum for a light texture. Combines niacinamide and zinc PCA for oil regulation, supported by low-concentration salicylic acid for gentle exfoliation. Preserved with phenoxyethanol and chlorphenesin, plus epilobium extract. Ideal for oily, acne-prone, or combination skin. Formulator's note: The synergy between zinc and niacinamide targets sebum production, while the moderate BHA ensures efficacy without excessive irritation, suitable for targeted daily use.
