SKIN1004 TEA-TRICA B5 CREAM 75ml
Description
Quiet, unfussy, and the first thing you repurchase.
Panthenol, high enough on the list to say so.
What this cream does
A 75 ml cream built around Panthenol, formulated to hold water in the surface, calm the look of redness and soften the surface.
Niacinamide, near the top of the list
Niacinamide sits at number 8 of 41 — an ingredient list runs in order of quantity, so that is among the largest part of what is in the bottle.
You can check it against the full list further down.
Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Niacinamide | Nicotinamide (vitamin B3). Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top; studied for evening out tone; studied for breakout-prone skin. |
| Hyaluronic Acid | Glycosaminoglycan. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid | Hyaluronic acid of reduced molecular weight. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Sodium Hyaluronate | Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Panthenol | Provitamin B5. Used to calm irritation; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Centella Asiatica Extract | Extract of Centella asiatica, whole plant. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract | Extract of Centella asiatica leaf. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Hydrogenated Polyisobutene | Hydrogenated polyolefin. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (emollient), viscosity increasing agent (non-aqueous). |
| Ethylhexyl Palmitate | Fatty acid ester. Listed as fragrance, skin-conditioning agent (emollient). |
| Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride | Medium-chain triglyceride from coconut. Used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells. |
| Ceramide NP | Ceramide 3. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own. |
| Butylene Glycol | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate among others — draw water into the surface. Calming ingredients — Panthenol, Centella Asiatica Extract and Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract — work on the look of redness. Emollients and lipids — Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Ceramide NP — sit on top and slow how fast that water leaves.
Humectants and emollients and lipids are the pairing that matters here: water pulled in by one, held there by the other. That is the difference between skin that feels comfortable an hour after application and skin that feels comfortable at bedtime.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin type.
Worth checking before you buy: contains silicones; contains essential oils.
How to use it
- Take an appropriate amount, spread it over the skin, and lightly tap into the skin to promote absorption.
