Polilisine is an advanced prebiotic with a unique mechanism of action: it selectively weakens acne-associated strains of Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), one of the primary causes of pimple and blackhead formation. Unlike other purifying ingredients, it acts in a targeted manner, preserving the beneficial bacteria that make up the skin microbiome.
How does it work?
An imbalanced microbiome, often caused by stress, excess sebum or external factors, can lead to overgrowth of C. acnes. Polilisine selectively targets these bacterial strains, reducing their activity and preventing the formation of impurities. At the same time, it promotes good bacteria, helping to restore balance to the skin.
Who is it suitable for?
Polilisine is particularly effective for:
- Oily and acne-prone skin that needs targeted action against impurities.
