Sebum control prevents induction and progression of chronic inflammation and pigment conditions resulting from excess sebum output.
Excess sebum is detrimental to skin health. Sebum control is a critical step in skin health restoration to help prevent and control inflammatory conditions.
Excess sebum results in the following:
- Clogs pores, leading to acne
- Manifests in sebum-induced inflammatory diseases: Acne, Rosacea, Seborrheic Dermatitis, and Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Prevents even penetration of topical agents
- Reduces efficacy of topical agents
- May lead to treatment failure (e.g. Melasma)
