A 3% zinc concentrate to rebalance oily, shiny skin
Etat Pur Pure Active Zinc Gluconate is a concentrated active for combination to oily skin that produces too much sebum. It contains 3% zinc gluconate, an ingredient long used for its sebum-regulating, antioxidant and purifying properties, which makes it a useful step for skin prone to shine and blemishes. It also has a soothing effect, so it can be used on skin that is reactive as well as oily. You can apply it to the whole face if your skin is oily, or only on the T-zone if it is combination. Used morning and evening, it helps keep shine under control through the day, and the skin looks more balanced, even and clear.
How it works
A clear, water-light serum dispensed with a dropper. It spreads in seconds, dries quickly without stickiness and leaves no film, so it layers easily under your usual moisturiser or a light fluid.
Who it suits
- Oily skin that turns shiny by midday
- Combination skin with an oily T-zone
- Skin prone to blackheads and blemishes
- Anyone building a simple routine from single actives
Worth knowing before you buy: This is a concentrate, not a complete moisturiser. Follow it with a light moisturiser, and use a sunscreen in the daytime. The formula contains alcohol, which some very dry skin may find drying. It is formulated without fragrance or essential oils.
How long one bottle lasts
At 4 drops morning and evening on the whole face, the 15ml bottle lasts about five to six weeks. Used only on the T-zone, it lasts closer to two months.
