🌿 A’pieu Hamamelis Cream (50 ml)

A lightweight hydrating cream formulated with a high concentration of witch hazel extract, designed to help control excess oil, refine the look of pores, and provide a smooth, refreshed skin finish. It also functions as a skincare-moisturiser hybrid that can support makeup application due to its skin-smoothing properties. 

🧪 Key Ingredients & What They Do

🌿 Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel Water) ~77%
Acts as a natural astringent to help reduce excess oil, support pore appearance, and provide a calming effect on the skin.

💧 Humectants (Butylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol)
Help attract and retain moisture in the skin while improving product texture and absorption.

🧴 Emollients (Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Isotridecyl Isononanoate)
Help soften the skin and create a smooth, comfortable finish without excessive greasiness.

🌱 Niacinamide
Helps support even-looking skin tone, reduces the appearance of oiliness, and strengthens the skin barrier over time.

🌿 Plant Oils & Extracts (e.g. Sesame Seed Oil, Argan Oil)
Provide nourishment and antioxidant support to help maintain skin comfort.

🛡 Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Acts as an antioxidant to help protect the skin from environmental stress.
