Science & Benefits

Physalis Alkekengi Fruit Extract is rich in physalins—steroidal-like compounds that provide potent anti-inflammatory effects without the thinning side effects of topical corticosteroids. It acts as a cooling humectant that provides immediate relief to the 'heat' and swelling of inflammatory acne. It is zero-comedogenic and zero-irritant. It is an excellent 'rescue' active for calming the skin during a severe breakout, providing deep hydration while suppressing the inflammatory cascade that leads to tissue damage and scarring.
