This unique blend of active ingredients has been scientifically validated to be effective in managing various skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, melasma, and hyperpigmentation.

This compounded formulation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, a semisolid preparation designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This allows for localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

The combination of these active ingredients has been clinically proven to be effective in treating acne, rosacea, melasma, and hyperpigmentation. It works by reducing inflammation, decreasing the production of sebum, inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the skin, improving skin barrier function, and reducing hyperpigmentation.
