2% Salicylic Acid - Powerful - Safe - Effective 

CTRL® Hyperkeratinization Ingredients – Impact on Pathogenic Factor 1

Acne forms when skin cells inside hair follicles shed too fast and clump or adhere to one another, plugging up the follicle and causing a pimple. CTRL® Salicylic Acid clears debris from the surface of the skin and inside the pore. Here’s how it works:

  • Antiseptic - provides oxidizing action that kills bacteria and fungi on the surface of the skin. This helps to destroy the bacteria that contribute to acne.
  • Anti-keritanization - breaks up comedones, or black and whiteheads that form over clogged pores. This effectively helps to reduce the severity of existing blemishes.
  • Exfoliant - stimulates the skin to shed the outermost, dead layers of skin cells. This keeps dead cells from plugging pores which can lead to additional blemishes. This exfoliant quality has the added benefit of making the skin look more youthful and vibrant.


 

CTRL® Sebum Fighting Ingredients - Attack Pathogenic Factor 2

In males, increased Testosterone levels and DHT lead to hyper-production of Sebum, a complex and variable mixture of triglycerides, cholesterol, wax and fatty acids. In females, hormones play a vital role in acne, especially during hormonal surges, flares and cycles.

CTRL® contains proprietary 5α Phyto-Technology™, a complex blend of active natural ingredients that binds to 5α Reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT. In binding to 5α Reductase CTRL® reduces the production of sebum and surface oils by 50%.

No other non-prescription acne treatment system combines the effectiveness of Salicylic acid with the gender-adjusted power of 5α Phyto-Technology™.


 

CTRL® Prebiotic Ingredients – Eradicate Pathogenic Factor 3 – P. acnes

When pores become blocked, sebum builds up under the surface of the skin. The relatively small colonies of P. acnes in the follicle experience a population explosion due to the abundance of food and lack of oxygen.

Packed with a natural prebiotic complex, CTRL® fights acne bacteria colonization and formation naturally while rebalancing skins normal flora.

Eradicating bacteria with our prebiotic blend leads to a reduction in redness, inflammation and swelling associated with acne bacteria.


 

CTRL® Ceramide Ingredients Repair Skin - Pathogenic Factor 4

A key feature of P. acnes colonization is inflammation, and the presence of several heat-shock proteins, known targets of the immune response. P. acnes also produce destructive enzymes that cause additional inflammation of the tissues. All this inflammation leads to the swelling, soreness and redness associated with comedones or pimples. CTRL® advanced Ceramide technology delivers:

  • Protection by correction and repair of membrane defects of the stratum corneum lipid barrier
  • Activate the skin lipid synthesis, regeneration by stimulation of epidermal renewal and repair (filaggrin, aquaporin)
  • Revitalizes dry skin by optimizing the total epidermal water management system repairing the skin’s own water protection barrier
