Formulation view Water-based cleanser with Witch Hazel Leaf Water and mild surfactants like Lauryl Glucoside. Features 2.5% Niacinamide, Zinc PCA, and Caffeine to regulate sebum. Preserved with Phenoxyethanol and Potassium Sorbate. Ideal for combination and oily skin daily cleansing. Formulator observation: Sulfonate surfactants offer strong cleansing but may cause dryness, requiring balancing with amino acid surfactants; high tannin in witch hazel poses sensitization risks.
