Description: Zinc PCA is a water-soluble, multifunctional active ingredient that combines the sebum-regulating and antimicrobial benefits of zinc with the hydrating and barrier-supporting properties of PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid), a natural component of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). It is especially beneficial for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types. By balancing sebum production, reducing shine, and supporting the skin’s moisture balance, Zinc PCA helps maintain a clear, calm, and healthy complexion.
