Clearing acne, bringing smiles

Addressing consumers’ acne concerns & feelings

Acne is a common but persistent skin concerns seen in both men and women in wide generations. Mask wearing since COVID-19 pandemic expanded this skin concern. Further, acne is a skin problem which is not only noticeable but also touchable (bumps or unevenness of skin) during cleansing, skin care regimes and make-up application. The presence of such acne can cause distress and negative impact on self-confidence, making it different from other skin concerns.
We have developed SAXIFRAGA STOLONIFERA EXTRACT (B)-BG as a multifunctional ingredient that can care for both teenage and adult acne, and overcome mental stress, stopping the downward spiral of acne.

Product features:

– New approach to anti-acne care based on our basic research

SAXIFRAGA STOLONIFERA EXTRACT (B)-BG significantly suppressed inflammation from upstream to

downstream skin reactions, such as TLR2 activity, mental stress (cortisol) induced and inflammation related

cytokines

– Visible effects confirmed in the acne-prone skin

In a 8-week clinical study, just switching to the SAXIFRAGA STOLONIFERA EXTRACT (B)-BG lotion from

the regular lotion used by volunteers decreased the number of both white & red acne, improving skin

appearance as well as increasing positive feelings

– Multifunctionality
