Why Zinc PCA is in HiPer:

Zinc is an essential trace mineral that has multiple beneficial effects on acne-prone skin. It works effectively to balance oil production and calm inflammation:

• Inhibits Acne-Causing Bacteria and Controls Oil: Zinc PCA is the salt of zinc and pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA), which is particularly effective in controlling sebum (oil) production. Excess oil is a major factor contributing to clogged pores and acne, making zinc a key component in managing acne breakouts.
• Reducing Inflammation: In addition to controlling oil, zinc has potent anti-inflammatory properties. It calms the redness and swelling commonly seen around acne lesions, reducing the severity of inflamed acne while promoting faster healing.
• Balancing pH Levels: Zinc PCA helps maintain the skin's pH balance, which ensures that it remains in a healthy, slightly acidic state – further helping to prevent the growth of acne-causing bacteria and regulating oil levels.

Zinc PCA's dual-action—addressing both acne-causing bacteria and excess oil—makes it an essential ingredient in HiPer to effectively treat and prevent acne.
