Zinc PCA
An active ingredient that reduces the secretion of sebum, balances the oiliness of the skin.
Description: The ‘PCA’ in Zinc PCA stands for Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid which is a natural compound that is known for its skin tightening properties. Zinc PCA is a water-soluble zinc salt that is derived from PCA, a naturally occurring amino acid that is present in the skin.
