Based on the information that AcnePLEX™ is developed to be positively charged for better skin adhesion and long-lasting effect, but has limitations in compatibility with formulas containing negatively charged cream makers or gel makers, requiring the use of non-ionic gel makers (such as HEC, HPMC) in viscous cream or gel formulas: 1.
