Particularly recommended for oily, acne-prone skin, Zinc PCA regulates sebum production and fights acne-causing bacteria.

Composition and synergy
Association of Zinc and L-PCA
Zinc PCA is a synergistic combination of zinc and L-PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid), an essential natural moisturizing factor for the skin. This combination not only improves hydration, but also the effectiveness and availability of zinc.

Proven effectiveness
Sebum reduction and anti-microbial activity
Studies have shown that Zinc PCA significantly reduces sebum production after 28 days of use. It also has strong antimicrobial activity against P. acnes and other bacterial strains.

Zinc PCA is an ingredient of choice for oily and acne-prone skin, offering benefits in terms of hydration and sebum regulation.
