Complex of Zinc and Algae Extract
We have chosen this active ingredient complex as zinc is combined with Laminaria algae extract, which has proven purifying, sebum-regulating and soothing properties. This powerful complex regulates sebum production by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for hormone-induced seborrhoea.
It has proven effects against Propionibacterium acnes (the bacteria responsible for acne), Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia furfur (a yeast associated with skin problems).
This soothing complex regulates interleukin 1-alpha, an inflammation mediator, to calm redness and irritation.
Combining zinc with polysaccharides from Laminaria algae increases the bioavailability of zinc and its benefits for the skin. These polysaccharides form a soft, active film on the surface of the skin.
