WellDerma Teatree Herb Tox Peeling Pack

What is this product?

A 150 g rinse off herbal peeling pack from WellDerma, built on bentonite clay, milled green tea and hydrolyzed sponge, with mugwort and tea tree leaf extracts high in the list. It works mechanically: apply, let it dry, wipe away with the bundled sponge. The brand sells it on pore and surface scale improvement and prints a 96.08 percent keratin improvement figure plus two number one badges, none of which names a testing body, a subject count or a period. Its own FAQ is more informative than its marketing: it discloses an irritation index of 0.00, permits body use, excludes delicate zones, and advises anyone with a mugwort allergy against the product. That last exclusion sits awkwardly against the all skin types copy on the front of the page.

What makes it different?

Two things separate it. First, the exfoliating action is mechanical rather than acid based, combining hydrolyzed sponge spicules with milled green tea powder in a bentonite body, which puts it on a different risk axis from an AHA or BHA product: friction and particle load rather than pH and barrier disruption. Second, the brand is unusually explicit about who should not use it, naming a mugwort allergy exclusion outright, and that disclosure contradicts the all skin types claim printed elsewhere on the same page.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 28 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them holds up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.
