What is hinoki cypress? it's said to heal pimples? anyone heard of this ingredient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The hinoki cypress is a Japanese evergreen that contains a phytoncide which is an antimicrobial derived from plants. Hinoki Cypress oil is combined with salicylic acid in a product called Etude House AC Clinic. The salicylic acid breaks the bonds between outer skin cells inducing more rapid turnover of the skin which is the best way to clear acne but the acne looks worse before it gets better
