Description
Overview of the medicine
Sébium Gel Moussant Actif is a purifying and exfoliating cleansing gel specifically formulated for oily to acne-prone skin. It gently cleanses, reduces shine, and helps prevent blemishes by regulating sebum and unclogging pores with the synergy of Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid. It respects the skin's balance and pH, and is soap-free.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply morning and/or evening to wet skin. Lather, then rinse thoroughly. Gently dry.
Elderly
Same as adults.
Renal_impairment
Not applicable; minimal systemic absorption.
How to Take
External use only. Apply to wet skin, massage gently for one minute, then rinse off thoroughly with water. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Mechanism of Action
Salicylic Acid (BHA) penetrates oil to exfoliate inside pores, preventing blockages and reducing inflammation. Glycolic Acid (AHA) exfoliates the skin surface, improving texture and radiance. Zinc Gluconate helps regulate sebum production and provides antibacterial benefits. The Fluidactiv™ patent biologically targets sebum quality to prevent comedone formation.

Half life
Not applicable for topical products with minimal systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption through topical application. Active ingredients primarily act on the skin surface and within pores.
Metabolism
Not significant systemically; primarily degraded on the skin surface or by skin enzymes.
