Formulation view An aqueous base with azelaic and salicylic acids for exfoliation, plus urea for hydration. Hydrogenated polyisobutene offers breathable closure. Ideal for oily or acne-prone skin. Formulator note: dual-acid concentration must be precise to avoid over-exfoliation; benzyl alcohol preservative carries allergy risks, caution for sensitive types.

- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
