This is an automatic translation

Shikimic acid is a cosmetic active mainly extracted from star anise. Its peculiar characteristics make it ideal for the treatment of combination, oily and acne-prone skin.

The most recent studies conducted on Shikimic Acid have shown an inhibitory action against Propionibacterium Acnes, one of the main bacteria responsible for acne. It also helps counteract the onset of skin imperfections and regulate sebum production.

It acts on the skin as a delicate exfoliant that promotes skin turnover without irritating the skin, making the complexion uniform and luminous. It helps minimize the appearance of acne scars and is also great for mature skin as it lightens age spots and makes wrinkles less noticeable.
