Zinc PCA, a natural compound found in the outermost layer of skin, is a water-soluble zinc salt derived from PCA. It is used in skincare products, acne treatments, and moisturizers. It controls oil production, reduces breakouts, promotes skin healing, and maintains hydration. It is a synergistic association of Zinc and L-PCA. Zinc helps normalize sebum production and limit the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria, while L-PCA helps with hydration and energy processes in the skin.
Fantastic ingredient for those with oily skin Controls oil production and mattifies the skin Highly effective at treating and reducing skin breakouts and blackheads Promotes skin healing Effectively penetrates the skin to maintain skin hydration level Might be a promising anti-aging active that helps with the production of type I collagen Protects the skin against the degradation of collagen by UV rays, which prevents the skin from aging Sebum regulator, anti-inflammatory, matifying, antibacterial, moisturizing, soothing, rebalancing, purifying
Suitable for oily and acne-prone skin, combination skin, sensitive skin, mixed to oily skin, skin with acneic tendency, irritated skin and mature skin
Large doses of zinc PCA can be drying
Consider moderation while using Zinc PCA products. If your Zinc PCA–infused product of choice is creating some dryness, layer a thick moisturizer on top.
Derived from PCA, a naturally occurring amino acid present in the skin Vegetable (L-PCA) and mineral (zinc oxide) Reaction of pyrrolidone-carboxylic acid (PCA), obtained by thermal cyclization of glutamic acid from beet molasses (dehydration reaction), with zinc oxide (ZnO), stirring, filtration, atomization

Zinc PCA has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it effective in reducing swelling, redness, and acne-causing bacteria. In-vivo test shows that Zinc PCA reduces sebum production statistically significantly after 28 days of application (1% was used in the test), and in-vitro measurements show that Zinc PCA has strong anti-microbial activity against P. acnes (between 0.1-0.25%) and other bacterial strains. Zinc is recommended for all types of skin especially mixed to oily skin, skin with acneic tendency, irritated skin and mature skin; all types of hair especially scalps with dandruff, scalps with oily tendency. A trace element naturally present in the body, zinc is essential for its proper functioning. It is involved in many mechanisms, for example in the regulation of the immune response. Thus, a zinc deficiency would be linked to an exacerbation of inflammatory phenomena. For example, if the skin lacks zinc, redness due to imperfections is more intense. Zinc also significantly reduces the production of sebum and is often used in creams for acne treatments. Finally, it is known to limit the development of microorganisms that cause many skin imbalances. The L-PCA part improves the absorption of zinc by the skin (increase of its bioavailability) and supports its hydration.
