FUSION: F-ACN

F-ACN is a targeted treatment for impure skin, oily skin conditions, and open pores. Hyperseborrhea, which results from hormonal modifications, suboptimal hygiene, dietary imbalances, circulation disorders, or lack of exfoliation, is a cause of acne. It is characterized by increased activity and size of the sebaceous glands, followed by the proliferation of microbial flora, particularly Propionibacterium acnes. This leads to irritation, which can sometimes result in inflammation. F-ACN contains vitamins B5 and niacinamie to reduce inflammation and redness related to acne. Hyaluronic acid provides hydration, while ZnPCA addresses the problems of oily skin with a tendency to acne.

Zinc is a mineral widely studied and used in acne treatments due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Zinc helps with healing rashes, rejuvenation, wards off the itchy scalp, and works as an antioxidant. Considerable scientific research has shown that zinc reduces sebum secretion by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase. Seborrhea regulation is androgen-dependent, in particular by testosterone. Every target cell of the sebaceous gland contains an enzyme, 5 alpha-reductase, that converts testosterone into dihydroxytestosterone (DHT). DHT acts on the activity of the hair follicle, causing the stimulation of the sebaceous gland and the resulting increase in sebum production.

To increase its efficacy and bioavailability to cells, we combine zinc with L-pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (L-PCA), a natural physiological molecule that also has a fundamental place in the biochemistry of the skin. PCA is considered a physiological moisturizer in cosmetology. Carboxylic acids are used for several skincare benefits, including topical treatments like acne, rosacea, warts, eczema, and psoriasis. Zinc PCA controls acne and reduces the secretion of sebum (a physio-sebo regulator) by oily skin, and helps in retaining skin moisture by strengthening the skin barrier.
