This gel formulation is designed to address oily skin and acne marks, as suggested by the staff.

Key ingredients and their benefits for your skin concerns:

Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): Helps reduce oiliness, strengthens skin barrier, reduces redness, and fades acne marks.
GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine): Works with Niacinamide to improve skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation (acne marks).
Zinc PCA: Controls sebum production and has antibacterial properties, beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin.
L-Carnitine: Specifically included to help reduce skin oiliness.
Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5): Provides soothing and hydration.
