Also known as: San Huang Ding, S Tincture, Three Yellows Tincture.

Five ingredients. Alcohol, water, and the three yellows. That is it.

What's doing the work

• Huang Lian (Coptis chinensis), Huang Bai (Phellodendron amurense) and Huang Qin (Scutellaria baicalensis), in that order and nothing else besides the alcohol and water carrying them.

How to use

Apply twice a day and let it dry naturally.

Pairs well with
