SEPICONTROL™ A5 – This patented complex combines:
- Lipacide C8G which contains glycine, a known skin purifier, protecting the skin ecosystem

SEPICONTROL A5 targets the 5 main causes of imbalanced oily skin:
- Prevents bacterial proliferation
- Boosts the skin immune system and inhibits inflammations
- Controls hyper-keratinization, by inhibiting the production of Figuerine protein
- Has an anti-seborrhoea effect, by reducing the production of the 5a-reductase enzyme
