Beauté by Roquette® SA 130 is a “well-tolerated” dicarboxylic acid that provides a multistep approach to treating oily and acne-prone skin. While traditional BHA (Salicylic Acid) can be irritating or drying for sensitive profiles, this bio-succinic acid delivers equivalent antimicrobial efficacy with a significantly better skin-tolerance profile.
Key Benefit: A natural Salicylic Acid alternative that matches the MIC of BHA against C. acnes while providing reduction in sebum.
Performance & Clinical Efficacy
-
Targeted Antimicrobial Activity: In vitro testing confirms a low MIC against Cutibacterium acnes (ATCC 11827) at pH 5—a performance level equivalent to salicylic acid.
-
Significant Sebum Control: In vivo testing at a 2% use level showed a significant reduction in sebum after 28 days, whereas the placebo group showed minimal change.
-
Pore & Texture Refining: Effectively limits pore clogging and reduces the physical appearance of:
-
Comedones (Blackheads/Whiteheads)
-
Pore size and surface shine
-
Active pimples and inflammatory lesions
