Panthenol 5% (Vitamin B5) — Barrier Repair and Soothing
Panthenol at 5% (as the 5th ingredient) is the highest-concentration hero of this cream. It converts to Pantothenic Acid in the skin — a vitamin that the skin uses to produce barrier lipids, heal inflammation, and retain moisture. At 5%, it significantly accelerates barrier recovery for skin that's been stressed by breakouts, harsh actives, or environmental damage. It also has direct anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the redness and irritation that acne-prone skin experiences. This is what makes the cream as soothing as it is.
Tea Tree Leaf Water + Tea Tree Leaf Oil 500ppm — Antibacterial Without Harshness
The base uses Tea Tree Leaf Water (a diluted hydrosol with gentle antibacterial and soothing properties) combined with Tea Tree Leaf Oil at 500ppm — a precise, low enough concentration to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation without the irritation that higher concentrations cause. Pine Leaf Extract (Pinus Palustris) joins the Tea-Trica complex as an anti-inflammatory botanical that works synergistically with tea tree to calm breakouts and reduce redness. Together these form the Tea-Trica Pine Complex.
Niacinamide + Mandelic Acid — Brightening and Gentle Clearing
Niacinamide (8th ingredient) controls sebum production, blocks melanin transfer to fade post-acne marks, and strengthens the barrier. Mandelic Acid — an AHA derived from bitter almonds — is the gentlest alpha-hydroxy acid available, with the largest molecular size that makes it the slowest and most skin-tolerant exfoliant in its category. It also has antibacterial properties that help prevent new breakouts. Together they address post-acne discolouration and texture without adding irritation to already-sensitized acne-prone skin.
Dual Centella + Triple HA + Ceramide NP + Hinoki Water
Centella Asiatica Extract and Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract together provide maximum centella soothing and barrier support. Triple HA (Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed HA, Sodium Hyaluronate) hydrates at multiple depths. Ceramide NP replenishes the barrier lipids. Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water (Hinoki Cypress Water — first ingredient) is a traditional Japanese botanical with antibacterial, antioxidant, and soothing properties that grounds the entire formula. Hydrolyzed Gardenia, Malt, and Viola Tricolor extracts add antioxidant depth.
Product Details
Full Description
The SKIN1004 Tea-Trica B5 Cream is a gentle, multi-active gel-cream designed for acne-prone, oily, and sensitive skin — the skin type that needs antibacterial activity and barrier repair simultaneously, without the dryness or irritation that most acne-targeting products cause. It runs four active systems at once: Vitamin B5 for deep soothing and barrier recovery, a Tea-Trica Pine Complex for targeted antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action, a Niacinamide + Mandelic Acid clearing and brightening layer, and a comprehensive hydration and barrier restoration base.
The base is built on Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water (Hinoki Cypress Water — first ingredient), Tea Tree Leaf Water, and Water — three active waters rather than plain water alone. Tea Tree Leaf Oil at 500ppm is the antibacterial active at a concentration proven effective against acne-causing bacteria without the irritation of higher-concentration tea tree formulas. Pine Leaf Extract (Pinus Palustris) compounds the anti-inflammatory effect. Panthenol at 5% (5th ingredient) delivers high-dose Vitamin B5 soothing and barrier lipid stimulation. Niacinamide controls sebum and fades post-acne marks. Mandelic Acid gently exfoliates and adds additional antibacterial activity.
Dual Centella, Triple HA, and Ceramide NP complete the barrier support system. Silica adds a light mattifying effect for oily skin. The gel-cream texture absorbs quickly and leaves a comfortable, non-sticky finish suitable for oily skin as a daily moisturiser. 40 ingredients total.
Fragrance-free. Alcohol-free. All skin types, particularly oily, acne-prone, and sensitive. 75ml.
