The formulation
Ingredient stack
Each ingredient is listed in descending concentration. Above the 1% line the order is regulated — below it, brands can list in any order.
Ingredients above the dashed gold line are dosed above 1% (the regulatory threshold) — these are what the formulation is really built on. Percentages are positional estimates from INCI order unless a brand discloses them.
An oil-soluble BHA that exfoliates inside the pore, dissolving the sebum and dead-cell plugs behind blackheads and congestion. Anti-inflammatory and especially suited to oily, acne-prone skin.
Barrier lipids that make up much of the stratum corneum's protective matrix. Replenishing them reduces water loss and reinforces resilience — central to barrier repair and to calming dry, reactive skin.
Vitamin B3. Regulates sebum, strengthens the barrier by boosting ceramide synthesis, evens tone by limiting pigment transfer, and calms inflammation. Well-tolerated at 2–10%; one of the most versatile, evidence-backed actives.
