Tea Tree Oil Moisturiser
Aiken
Tea Tree Oil Moisturiser
Moisturizer

A classic, highly reliable lightweight emulsion tailored for acne-prone skin. It blends a network of volatile silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane) to provide a breathable, sweat-resistant seal over the skin without feeling heavy or sticky. The active inclusion of 4-Terpineol and Melaleuca Alternifolia directly targets bacterial growth, while Licorice Root and Bisabolol act as elite soothing agents to suppress localized inflammation.

Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
COSRX
Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
Cleanser

The absolute legendary pioneer of low-pH skin washing across Malaysia and Southeast Asia. COSRX completely dismantled old-school high-pH alkaline cleansing loops by launching this physiological pH 5.5 wash. It utilizes an ultra-mild, non-stripping anionic-amphoteric surfactant matrix (Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine) to lift surface dirt softly. It leaves the critical moisture lipid bricks completely untouched. Packed with **0.5% Styrax Japonicus botanical extract** and natural **Tea Tree Oil**, it targets acne bacteria corridors during washing, rinsing away to leave a thoroughly clean, perfectly balanced fresh satin baseline.

Tea Tree Oil Pure Essential Oil
Aiken
Tea Tree Oil Pure Essential Oil
Oil

A household staple in Malaysia for targeted acne control. Traditional pure essential oils are highly volatile and concentrated, which frequently burns skin cells wide open if applied raw. Aiken brilliantly buffers the pure Australian Tea Tree Leaf Oil inside a dry emollient carrier network of Caprylic Triglycerides and Isopropyl Myristate. This allows the oil-soluble terpenes (specifically Terpinen-4-ol) to glide smoothly into the sebum-filled pore lining, sanitizing Cutibacterium acnes directly. It acts like a natural antimicrobial blotter, flattening angry, white pus-filled pimples overnight while dropping skin swelling indicators. It feels like a ultra-thin, dry-oil fluid.

Aiken
Tea Tree Oil Clarifying Toner
Toner

A highly targeted, minimalist antibacterial toner. It focuses entirely on delivering Salicylic Acid (BHA) and pure Australian Tea Tree Oil deep into the pores to clear out oxidized sebum and neutralize acne-causing bacteria. By remaining completely water-light and avoiding heavy humectants, it serves as the perfect clarifying step for hyper-oily profiles that easily congest.

Vita-C Bright Serum
Aiken
Vita-C Bright Serum
Serum

A wildly sophisticated, multi-acid brightening and exfoliating serum. While marketed heavily as a Vitamin C serum, its primary engine is actually a powerful chemical peeling blend of Mandelic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Salicylic Acid. It rapidly digests the intracellular glue binding dead skin flakes while diving deep into the pore to dissolve oxidized sebum plugs. Buffered with Ascorbyl Glucoside to tackle hyperpigmentation safely.
