JUMISO Blackhead Melting Softener

What is this product?

A water-type softener built around witch hazel water, gluconolactone, 4-terpineol and tea tree leaf water, aimed at softening blackheads while keeping the base hydrating with multiple hyaluronic acids. Its fragrance-free, drying-alcohol-free formula suits those who want a gentler pre-exfoliation step.

What makes it different?

The softening actives gluconolactone and 4-terpineol sit mid-list, at positions 14 and 18, with no concentrations disclosed. Tea tree leaf water at position 21 and succinic acid at position 19 add a blemish-prone-skin angle. The base layers botanical waters and extracts in the first nine items, then closes with three forms of hyaluronic acid at positions 23 to 25.
