SEBO-RELIEF CREAM
The function of Sebo-Relief is based on three activities:
-Soothing inflammation.
-control sebum secretion
-control growth of the yeast (Malassezia)
The cream has a specially light texture, it is instantly spread and absorbed by the skin and leaves no greasy feel.
Active ingredients:
Avenanthramide (hydroxyphenyl propamidobenzoic acid)- There is a strong evidence in the scientific literature regarding the potential anti-inflammatory effect of avenanthramides.
Avenanthramides is a group of compounds only found in oats, with strong anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity.
Clinical studies show that topical application of very low concentrations of Avenanthramides (2-50ppm) reduce significantly allergic reaction in the skin such as itch and redness.
The cream contains also Aloe vera Leaf Juice and Panthenol(pro-vitamin B5)for their skin calming and anti-inflammatory action.
organic sulfur bond to amino acids - These compounds have a sebostatic functionality normalizing the spread of sebum on skin.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3)- Topical niacinamide was found effective in treating reddish skin . Reduced sebum levels after 2-4 weeks of application was reported in the scientific literature.
Zinc – Many scientific studies indicate that zinc compounds can reduce the quantity of skin-surface sebum. The sebo-suppressive effect of topical zinc is probably related to its antiandrogenic activity by the inhibition of a specific enzyme(5 alpha-reductase).
Also the inhibitory effect of zinc on the release of inflammatory fatty acids from sebum, by microorganisms, was demonstrated.
