Mastering Mattification: Sebocytine’s Secrets

Introduction

Navigating the realm of skincare for those with oily, acne-prone skin can often feel like a daunting task, with shiny faces due to excess oil being one of the concerns ranking high among others. It's not uncommon for users to mistake the gleam for the glorious Korean glass skin, but it is essential to clarify that they are straight different. Here, the active ingredient ‘Sebocytine’ enters the frame which is often overlooked but relied on by those who know. This is the ultimate mattifying agent that effortlessly targets oily, acne-prone skin offering a solution that how beyond mere aesthetics. 

Difference Between An Excess Sheen And Korean Glass-Like Skin

Mostly when there is excess gloss on the face, it refers to the oily or greasy appearance on the skin that occurs due to the over-production of oil from the sebaceous glands. This results in a shiny, slick surface that can feel heavy & uncomfortable on the skin. Meanwhile, Korean cut-glass skin as a K-beauty trend represents a complexion that corresponds translucent complexion with a smooth and reflective appearance resembling glassy windows driven purely by very well-hydrated skin; not oils alone!

Korean glass-like skin trends may pose challenges for Indian individuals due to differing skin types and climates. Indian skin has a higher melanin content that often faces difficulties achieving the same translucency as glass skin, making it susceptible to discoloration. With the help of sebocyte-powered products, we can manage sebum production, which ensures a well-balanced and strong barrier that is necessary for the longed-for glass skin.

What is Sebocytine®?

Sebocytine® is a registered trade name of Rosa Canina Fruit Extract that is obtained from wild rose berries (Rosa canina). They are rich in flavonoids, which help to,

1. Reduces sebocyte differentiation
2. Slow the rate of sebum secretion 
3. Reducing pore size
4. Limits shininess and mattifies the skin 

True anti-oily skin care, Sebocytine® is a true anti-oily skincare that is appropriate for Caucasian as well as Asian skin. It has been clinically proven for its mattifying properties from Silab, France.

Note: The combination of ingredients such as rosa canina, salicylic acid, neem extract, tea tree, and blue tansy oil put together provides immediate mattifying effects.

How Does Sebocytine® Work?

Sebocytine, a skincare constituent from Silab, France helps the user fight the skincare problems of greasiness posing a problem for both men and females, as the skin tends to look too shiny on the T-zone area of the face. Sebocytine deals with such concerns by providing a new approach that focuses primarily on regulating sebum production which is mainly controlled by sebocytes, the specialized skin cells that generate sebum.

Elaborated one.

In laboratory studies conducted using both 2D and 3D models of human sebocytes, Sebocytine demonstrated the ability to limit the differentiation and lipogenesis of these cells. By reducing the expression of key differentiation markers such as FADS2 and Mucin 1, which are involved in lipid production and terminal sebocyte differentiation, respectively, Sebocytine effectively decreases the secretion of sebum from the skin.

Clinical trials conducted on individuals with both Caucasian and Asian skin further validate the efficacy of Sebocytine. After 28 days of twice-daily treatment, Sebocytine was found to significantly reduce sebum secretion compared to a placebo, with a reduction of 14.9% observed in Caucasian skin and 14.8% in Asian skin. Additionally, Sebocytine was shown to decrease the total surface area occupied by blemishes by 23.9% in Caucasian skin and significantly reduce the number of pimples by 20.9% in Asian skin.

Note: Lipogenesis is the mechanism of action whereby sebocytes provide lipids, including sebum, which is quite characteristic of them.

Benefits of Using Sebocytine®

• Regulates Sebum Production: For every oily & acne-prone skin, sebocytine helps to control the amount of oil the skin produces. When your skin produces too much oil (sebum), it can lead to a shiny appearance and clogged pores, which may result in acne breakouts. By regulating sebum production, Sebocytine keeps your skin balanced and less oily.

• Reduces Shine: Too much of the oil in the skin can make it appear oily and greasy. Sebocytine not only helps to control shine but also regulates the oil production level so that the skin looks natural with a matte finish.

• Minimizes Pores: Inevitably large pores are perceived as the ‘headache’ of the oily skin. With its oil-reducing potential, sebocytine works by preventing pore enlargement. Improvement of pore appearance ensues when the pores are less clogged with oil.

• Prevents Breakouts: The oily skin becomes more prone to acne breakouts & excess shine since excess oil can mix with dead skin cells and bacteria, leading to clogged pores and inflammation. Sebocytine as an ingredient helps to normalize sebum production, preventing breakouts and keeping skin clear of blemish-causing impurities.

• Improves Skin Texture: When sebaceous glands on the skin produce too much oil, they result in a greasy or oily feeling. With the help of the sebocytine’s oil regulation properties, the skin becomes softer, and smoother, making the individual feel more comfortable in their skin.

• Enhances Radiance: Oily shiny skin is usually dull and can be seen as unpleasant. With Sebocytine as a key ingredient that aids with oil control and natural balance, your skin can become more radiant displaying a clean, healthy and glowing appearance.
