Product Information

Acids – from Hyaluronic to Salicylic – are sometimes seen as some of the most mystifying ingredients for those new to the world of skincare. But really, their benefits are endless and their appeal widespread – and once you know how to use each one specifically, they’re a lot less daunting. One such acid which may need a little more explanation is Succinic Acid, which is fairly new to skincare on the whole. Here’s what you need to know about the brilliant ingredient. What is Succinic Acid? This specific acid is generally gentle and well-tolerated, so it can be used by people with almost all skin types.

Finally, another alternative therapy could involve bacteriophages. Both metagenomic analysis and other culture-based studies have shown that naturally occurring C. acnes bacteriophages on the skin are more prevalent in healthy individuals compared with acne patients. They are also more abundant in older individuals, which could be related to the decline in acne prevalence with increasing age. Finally, some C. acnes strains (from clades IB, II, and III) are resistant to the viral activity of bacteriophages, which could influence C. acnes phylotype repartition [ 59]. The list of holy-grail trending skincare ingredients is seemingly endless, with new entries constantly finding their way into new products. So theSuccinic Acid Acne Treatment is an over-the-counter drug, just like sunscreen. You don’t need a prescription to buy it ,but it has a special status, because it contains an ingredient that’s been scientifically vetted to work against acne. And that ingredient is…

My Review

Anti-inflammatory in nature, succinic acid helps to soothe red, irritated skin associated with acne breakouts. As it’s typically used as a topical blemish treatment, succinic acid can not only help to reduce the buildup of acne-causing bacteria, but also soothe the skin suffering from a breakout. 5. Restores the skin’s pH balance Succinic Acid is naturally occurring in many animal tissues and plants, and when used in skincare, it is often derived from amber or sugar cane. The ingredient is a compound that is anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial in nature, making it an obvious choice for skincare formulations, particularly those wishing to treat acne and redness. What are the benefits of Succinic Acid?

Antibiotic tablets (oral antibiotics) are usually used in combination with a topical treatment to treat more severe acne. Ini adalah produk serum yang cocok dipakai di kulit berminyak, kombinasi, dan berjerawat, karena mengandung Succinic Acid, mugwort, Biosaccharide gum-1 dan zinc PCA untuk mengurangi minyak berlebih, menenangkan kulit, meredakan kemerahan, serta mengurangi tampilan jerawat dan pori-pori yang tampak besar. Meski begitu, nggak bikin kulit terasa kering, lho! Kamu bisa pakai pagi dan malam setelah toner, sebelum moisturizer kesayanganmu. But that’s not where the ingredient’s benefits end. In fact, Succinic Acid is also highly soothing as well as hydrating, meaning it works well with other hero hydrators like H yaluronic Acid Serum . If you have oily skin, consider also using SA with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which are acids that have exfoliating effects. AHAs — such as malic acid, lactic acid or glycolic acid — can help brighten dull skin, treat dryness and acne, and allow other ingredients to penetrate the skin more easily.

From cleansing the skin to managing oil production, there are several ways to treat and bust the blemishes. Meet our heroes from the INKEY family... Don't use with: According to Petrillo, there are no ingredients known to have a negative interaction with succinic acid. What Is Succinic Acid? Tetracyclines can make your skin sensitive to sunlight and UV light, and can also make the oral contraceptive pill less effective during the first few weeks of treatment. In addition to 2% Succinic Acid, the powerful treatment also features 2% sulfur and 1% Salicylic Acid for a three-pronged approach, which effectively beats spots and reduces oil overall.

The Inkey List are a brand that I generally quite like (well not anymore, now that I’ve seen their response to me raising this issue, and some of their other practices). They’re probably the main competitor to The Ordinary, which I also quite like. I wouldn’t be anywhere near as annoyed if Inkey just changed the product name and marketing so that salicylic acid was less of an afterthought. Let’s say they called it the Triple threat Acne Treatment with salicylic acid, succinic acid and sulfur. Not all of their products have a single ingredient in the name so why didn’t they do that?Succinic acid is powerfully effective, but it’s so gentle on your skin that no reported side effects are known. Unlike most AHA’s and BHA’s that carry some risk of skin sensitivity, succinic acid is so mild, even if the most sensitive skin types can use it without worrying about developing irritation.

Let’s start by talking about succinic acid. Succinic acid is usually used as a pH adjuster or chelating agent in products, so it’s playing a supporting role and isn’t really comsidered an active ingredient that benefits skin directly. There are almost no peer-reviewed studies on it for acne. You may be advised to continue treatment less frequently to prevent acne returning. Topical retinoids Now, this is pretty promising, but far from enough evidence to say that it actually works against acne, as a drug ingredient. In medicinal chemistry, there are millions and millions of compounds that work well on cells and on animals, but never become drugs. Things that work well in cells and animals don’t necessarily work well on humans in real life. The conditions on your skin are very different from the conditions on glass or on an animal. Antioxidants prevent oxidation which releases free radicals. Antioxidant ingredients such as succinic acid help to combat the damage caused by free radicals as they bind to free radicals, eliminating the missing electron pairing which causes them to break up healthy atoms. Succinic acid FAQs Can I use retinol with succinic acid?The objective of treatment in acne is not to kill C. acnes but rather to prevent or to treat dysbiosis, thus new ways of equilibrating the dysbiosis in acne have been investigated. One strategy relies on sucrose for selective augmentation of S. epidermidis fermentation over that of C. acnes [ 51]. Another way of shifting the balance toward a healthy microbiome involves supplementing the skin microbiota with probiotics [ 12]. Several clinical trials have shown that topical probiotics can directly alter the skin microbiome and immune response [ 52]. In addition, modulation of the intestinal microflora via oral probiotics can indirectly influence skin diseases [ 52]. Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, bacteria normally found in the gut, could be used as probiotics for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases such as acne [ 53]. Their effects on acne may be mediated by the ability of oral probiotics to reduce systemic oxidative stress, regulate cytokines, and reduce inflammatory markers [ 39]. The demonstrated impact of the Western diet on the development of acne also suggests that probiotic-based therapy and dietary management could be used in the prevention and treatment of acne [ 36]. I don’t know if Inkey are marketing geniuses, or they accidentally stumbled onto this strategy, but it is working really well. Because succinic acid is so gentle, it’s workable for every skin type. If you have blemish-prone skin, you’ll benefit from the mild exfoliating and pore-cleansing antimicrobial effects of succinic acid. For mild to moderate or moderate to severe acne, you’ll usually be started on a combination of topical treatments, or antibiotic tablets combined with topical treatments.
