Zinc Hyaluronate : This innovative active ingredient offers a holistic solution for blemish-prone skin. Zinc Hyaluronate combines hyaluronic acid and zinc. It gives this lotion its purifying, restorative and moisturising action. By stopping bacteria from spreading, in particular Propionibacterium acnes, which is responsible for acne, it regulates inflammatory factors. Its soothing effect relieves irritated and delicate skin. It reduces the appearance of scars by increasing collagen synthesis at a III/I ratio, accelerating the healing process. It reduces sebum secretion, reinforces the epidermal barrier and limits insensible water loss to maintain skin moisture.
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.
Mineral silica : Mattifying, it leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. Its "soft focus" effect blurs complexion irregularities. It absorbs excess sebum for matte skin.
Plant-derived salicylic acid : Extract of black willow is concentrated in salicylic acid. This purifying and keratolytic active ingredient stimulates skin renewal, smoothes blemishes, fights blackheads and unclogs and tightens pores. It adds soothing effects to this lotion by reducing factors linked to inflammation. Salicylic acid is involved in the arachidonic acid cascade, a fatty acid that is a precursor to the formation of prostaglandin E2 molecules, which have inflammatory effects.
