Succinic Acid

Succinic Acid is comparable to Salicylic Acid in its functioning. It has keratolytic and bacteria-inhibiting properties. It also helps to control sebum, reducing shine, all the while restoring the skin’s physiological pH balance. It is an ingredient with a long medicinal heritage, especially in European countries where it has been widely used for thousands of years. It is naturally found in amber, a fossilized tree sap. Bio-succinic acid is sustainably obtained through a biotechnological process from starch, which is identical to the active ingredient of amber tree sap. It is highly effective in reducing blackheads, thus preventing breakouts. Succinic Acid is safe, tolerable, and gentle for acne-prone skin that also suffers from sensitivity.
