Science & Benefits

Dextran is a complex branched glucan (polysaccharide) synthesized from sucrose by certain lactic acid bacteria. Beyond simple water-binding, it has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce swelling and redness in active acne. It is zero-comedogenic. Its primary logic in acne care is 'anti-adhesion'; it creates a physical sugar-coat over the skin that makes it significantly harder for pathogenic bacteria to colonize the follicle.
