This contains notable ingredients - Salicylic Acid 2%, Shea Butter, Glycerin, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Squalane, Retinol 1%, Pantothenic Acid, 5% Oligopeptide-10 Complex, and Aloe. It has alcohol in middle of ingredient list. No essential-oil and fragrance.
This gel cream has watery consistency making it easy for skin to absorb it quickly. It's almost like a serum. The instruction states that you can apply it thinly up to 3 times a day. I don't think it would be advisable to any skin type as it has high percentage of exfoliant already.
I find this really effective for my oily and acne-prone skin. I apply this M-W-F at pm routine for 2 weeks. Sometimes there would be tingling sensation on parts where skin barrier is compromised (i.e tip of nose due to wiping tissue; my allergic rhinitis is severe). Nevertheless, my skin loves this product. I haven't had any new pimples while I had it in routine.
With all the actives in it, I'd say it's gentle and effective! This is my first product from PTR and I like it! Looking forward to trying more from this brand. 🤍
