Recommended Ingredients for Acne

Pentylene glycol is a safe, lightweight humectant and solvent widely used in skincare formulations. It enhances skin hydration by drawing moisture into the skin and improves the penetration of other active ingredients. Its antimicrobial properties also help preserve product stability.

Urea is a naturally occurring humectant that draws moisture into the skin and gently softens dead skin cells for removal. At higher concentrations (>10%), it provides mild keratolytic action; at lower levels, it delivers powerful hydration. Safe and well-tolerated across all skin types.

Lactic acid is a gentle alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk fermentation. It exfoliates dead skin cells while simultaneously hydrating and improving skin texture. Known for its low irritation profile, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
