Zinc gluconate

Zinc gluconate helps visibly reduce acne blemishes, redness, and overall skin irritation while supporting the moisture barrier. It suits dry skin and oily skin particularly well when delivered in nourishing creams. This gentle ingredient also fits seamlessly into a daily routine because it works well with benzoyl peroxide, niacinamide, and salicylic acid.
