Salicylic Foam Cleanse & Peel

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is known for regulating Aquaporin-3 (AQP3), improving skin tone and texture, evening out skin tone, and may help reduce the appearance of acne. This natural compound is essential for the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats in cells, and acts as a precursor in the synthesis of coenzymes NAD and NADP, which are involved in cellular energy production.

Betaine Salicylate, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) derived from sugar beet, is a mild yet effective exfoliant that combines the benefits of salicylic acid with unique skin care properties. This lipophilic compound penetrates deep into the skin layers, helping to eliminate dead and damaged cells, promoting cellular regeneration, and improving the texture and tone of the skin. It is especially useful for treating conditions like acne, as it breaks down sebum and keratin buildup in pores, reducing blackhead formation and blockages. In addition, its antimicrobial, moisturizing, and exfoliating properties make it a versatile ally for the skin. It has also been shown to promote collagen production, improve hyperpigmentation, and increase intracellular water retention, providing anti-aging benefits. Although it is suitable for even sensitive skin, sunscreen is recommended after application, as, like other AHA and BHA exfoliants, it can increase sun sensitivity.

Zinc PCA is a physiological sebum-regulating active composed of zinc and pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (L-PCA), designed to treat oily skin with acne-prone tendencies. Zinc regulates sebum production by inhibiting the enzyme 5-α reductase and possesses antiseptic properties that limit bacterial proliferation, helping to prevent acne. This ingredient is ideal for oily and acne-prone skin, as it controls excess sebum, improves barrier function, and promotes cell regeneration, keeping the skin balanced and clean.
