Mannitol

Mannitol helps reduce inflammatory acne lesions, overall severity scores, and excess oil when added to topical treatments. It suits individuals with dry skin and oily skin best and is commonly found in lightweight serums. Because of its gentle nature, it layers easily into any daily skincare routine.
