About
Control Oil at the Source, Not the Surface
Most oil-control products work by stripping sebum from the skin’s surface — a strategy that triggers rebound oil production and leaves skin dehydrated. Woods Copenhagen takes a fundamentally different approach with the proprietary Seboclear™ complex, extracted from the leaves of the paper mulberry tree (Broussonetia papyrifera). Rich in bioflavonoids, Seboclear™ works through a non-acid mechanism: it normalises sebaceous gland activity at the source, suppresses acne-related bacteria, and calms inflammation around the follicle — without lowering skin pH or chemically dissolving the stratum corneum.
This lightweight multi-action serum pairs Seboclear™ with natural willow bark extract (a gentle BHA-like exfoliant) and lactic acid (AHA) to decongest pores, refine texture, and brighten dullness through a multi-pathway approach. An intelligent hydration network of aloe vera and multi-weight hyaluronic acid prevents the dryness and tightness that conventional oil-control products often cause.
A stabilised vitamin C derivative (ascorbyl glucoside) rounds out the formula, fading post-acne marks while shielding skin from environmental oxidative stress. Vegan, fragrance-free, and crafted in Denmark.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
+
What makes Seboclear™ different from salicylic acid?
Unlike salicylic acid, Seboclear™ uses a non-acid mechanism derived from paper mulberry leaf bioflavonoids. It does not lower skin pH or chemically dissolve keratin, which means no irritation, dryness, or barrier damage. It works by normalising sebum gland activity and rebalancing the skin microbiome — making it safe for sensitive skin, acid beginners, and during pregnancy.
Is this serum safe to use during pregnancy?
Yes. The Seboclear™ complex avoids the acid-based mechanisms that make conventional BHA products a concern during pregnancy. It regulates oil without disrupting skin pH, making it a gentle yet effective alternative for expectant mothers.
Is this product vegan?
Yes. This product is 100% vegan — it contains no animal-derived ingredients and has not been tested on animals. All Woods Copenhagen products are cruelty-free.
Can I use this with other skincare products?
Absolutely. The formula is gentle and compatible with most skincare routines. Apply after cleansing and before your moisturiser or sunscreen for best results.
Will this serum dry out my skin?
No. Unlike conventional oil-control products, this serum contains multi-weight hyaluronic acid and aloe vera to deliver deep hydration while controlling oil. It balances sebum without stripping moisture, so skin stays comfortable and never tight.
