Zinc Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid

Natori ZPCA 95 is a synergistic association of Zinc and L-PCA. The zinc part functions as a sebum regulator, limiting the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria. L-PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid) is a key molecule in the skin that helps with hydration and energy as a natural moisturizing factor (NMF). Zinc PCA controls sebum production by inhibiting the release of 5-alpha-reductase. Its anti-microbial property helps eliminate pimples quickly by hindering microbial growth, and its strong anti-inflammatory properties relieve pain associated with acne. Research in Japan has shown that Zinc PCA is a promising ingredient in preventing intrinsic skin ageing and photoaging by controlling the balance between synthesis and degradation of dermal collagen.
