Mediheal TEATREE CALMING MOISTURE AMPOULE

What is this product?

A watery leave on tea tree ampoule from MEDIHEAL, 50 ml with a dropper, built on tea tree leaf water declared at 874,835 ppm in first position with purified water pushed down to nineteenth of twenty three entries. Around it sit glycerin, four glycols, two neem extracts and a cacao seed extract, a phospholipid vehicle, and tea tree oil declared at only 10 ppm. There is no acid, no retinoid, no ceramide and no fragrance entry, and the brand states a pH of 4.9 plus or minus 0.5. The central promise is speed: a reduction in irritation 30 seconds after one application, backed by a named human application test with 20 subjects that began and ended on one day and is not published. Hydration and barrier promises around it have no test attached.

What makes it different?

The base itself is the active: tea tree leaf water stands at 87 percent by declared weight and water sits nineteenth of twenty three, and the brand's own sibling serum, measured from its landed record, prints the opposite order with purified water first and the same plant sixth at 38,800 ppm. The second separator is the shape of the evidence: a speed claim with a named institution, 20 subjects and a single test day, against hydration and barrier claims with nothing attached.
