Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
A yeast ferment filtrate (also known as Pitera - a trademarked name for the filtrate reserved by the SK-II brand).

A small manufacturer study also shows that, when used in high concentrations, it can help reduce sebum production and help against blocked pores
