💧 A leave-on daily lotion for oily and combination skin — built to extend the sebum-control work of acne and oil-focused facial services into every client's morning and evening routine.

At its core, niacinamide moderates surface oil production while the Regu-Seb system (Saw Palmetto + Beta-Sitosterol) works further upstream, inhibiting the 5-alpha-reductase pathway that drives androgen-stimulated sebaceous activity. That two-level approach means clients aren't just blotting shine — they're working against the mechanism that creates it. Layered on top, antimicrobial peptides (Bodyfensine and Oligopeptide-10) reinforce the skin's natural defenses and target acne-associated bacteria in a leave-on format where prolonged contact amplifies results. For sensitive or post-service skin, botanical actives including Canadian Willowherb and Lilac Stem Cell Extract keep reactive redness visibly calmer.

The lightweight, non-comedogenic feel closes the retail gap your oily-skin clients hit most: finding a moisturizer that hydrates without reintroducing the shine they came to you to fix.

A natural retail close after enzyme peels, salicylic treatments, or blue-light services — for clients who need daily maintenance that matches the work done on the table.

• Visible reduction in daytime shine and excess oiliness: Niacinamide and the Regu-Seb system (Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract and Beta-Sitosterol) work through complementary pathways — niacinamide moderating sebaceous gland output at the surface level and Regu-Seb addressing the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme pathway that drives androgen-stimulated oil production — to deliver both immediate and longer-term control of excess sebum.
• Support for clearer-looking skin on acne-prone complexions: Acetyl Dipeptide-3 Aminohexanoate (Bodyfensine) reinforces the skin's natural antimicrobial defense response, while Oligopeptide-10 (GranActive Acne Complex) targets P. acnes bacteria directly. Canadian Willowherb Extract and Lilac Stem Cell Extract provide additional antimicrobial activity and help reduce the appearance of redness associated with breakout-prone skin.
• Soothed, visibly calmer appearance for sensitive and reactive skin: Allantoin, Lilac Stem Cell Extract (verbascoside-rich), Boswellia Serrata Extract, and Canadian Willowherb Extract collectively address the visible signs of irritation and redness. This combination makes the formula compatible with easily irritated, sensitive, and post-service skin that requires a calming daily moisturizer.
• Lightweight hydration without adding to surface oiliness: A balanced emollient base using Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, and lightweight esters (Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, PPG-2 Myristyl Ether Propionate) delivers moisture without the heavy feel or occlusive finish that can exacerbate oiliness in combination and oily skin types.

Niacinamide: A well-studied form of vitamin B3 that helps visibly reduce excess oil production, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, and even out skin tone. At its position in this formula — the primary named functional active — it delivers meaningful sebum-modulating and brightening effects that support the product's core oil-control and complexion-balancing purpose.

Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract / Beta-Sitosterol — Regu-Seb Sebum-Regulating System: A two-component botanical system marketed as Regu-Seb that targets sebum production at a biochemical level. Serenoa Serrulata (Saw Palmetto) fruit extract and Beta-Sitosterol, its principal sterol, act as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors — the same enzyme pathway that drives androgen-stimulated sebaceous gland activity. By moderating this pathway topically, the system supports long-term reduction in sebum output rather than simply absorbing surface oil.

Acetyl Dipeptide-3 Aminohexanoate - known as Bodyfensine: A synthetic peptide that mimics human beta-defensin-2 and -3 — naturally occurring antimicrobial proteins the skin produces as part of its innate immune response. By reinforcing this defense mechanism, it helps reduce the skin's vulnerability to microorganism-related breakouts and supports barrier resilience, particularly for easily irritated or sensitive skin.

Oligopeptide-10 — GranActive Acne Antimicrobial Peptide: An antimicrobial peptide included as part of the GranActive Acne Complex. Oligopeptide-10 delivers targeted activity against Cutibacterium acnes (formerly P. acnes), the bacteria associated with acne lesion formation, working through membrane disruption of the bacterial cell. As a peptide active, it is highly effective at trace concentrations, making it suited to a leave-on daily lotion where prolonged contact supports its action over the course of the day.

Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract - known as Canadian Willowherb Extract: A standardized botanical extract from fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) with documented activity against P. acnes bacteria, as well as antioxidant properties that help reduce the visible redness and irritation associated with UV exposure and environmental stress. It complements the antimicrobial peptide actives in this formula by addressing both the microbial and reactive-oxygen components of acne-prone skin concerns.

Syringa Vulgaris Leaf Cell Culture Extract - known as Lilac Stem Cell Extract: A biotech-derived cell culture extract from lilac (Syringa vulgaris) leaves, rich in verbascoside — a phenylethanoid glycoside with antioxidant and soothing properties. It complements the formula's multi-pathway approach to acne-prone skin by addressing residual surface bacteria and the visible signs of reactive, sensitized skin.

1. Instruct the client to cleanse the face and apply any prescribed serums before proceeding.
2. Dispense a dime-size amount of the lotion onto fingertips.
3. Apply evenly over the client's face and neck using light upward strokes.
4. Avoid contact with the eye area.
5. Use morning and evening as the final moisturizing step in the facial treatment or home-care routine.

Service integration and retail moment

This lotion is well suited as the daily-moisturizer step following oil-control or acne-focused facial treatments (enzyme peels, salicylic exfoliation, LED blue-light services). Its lightweight, non-comedogenic feel bridges the gap between clinical treatment and daily maintenance, making it a straightforward retail recommendation at checkout. When prescribing home care after an acne or oily-skin facial, position the Daytime Control Oil Reducer as the AM/PM moisturizer to sustain the sebum-control work done in the service — clients with oily or combination skin often struggle to find a moisturizer that does not reintroduce shine, making this a targeted, easy-to-justify retail sell.
