Apply a small amount in dabs over your face, then massage it in with small upward circles. Avoid the eye area.

Use it once or twice a day, morning and/or evening. In the morning, let it absorb for 5 minutes before applying SPF or makeup.

For more persistent breakouts: apply the Trio-Zinc Booster Serum first, then the gel.

How does it work on blemishes?
It works on three fronts: it reduces excess sebum, calms inflammation and helps eliminate the bacteria behind pimples. Zinc targets the causes of breakouts, so they're less likely to come back.

Who is it for?
It's made for acne-prone skin, whether normal, combination or oily, from teenagers to adults. It works best on mild to moderate blemishes. For more persistent breakouts, pair it with the Trio-Zinc Booster Serum.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The formula has no alcohol and bakuchiol is gentle on the skin, so it suits sensitive, acne-prone skin. If in doubt, as with any new product, you can try it on a small area first.

Why is there no salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid is one of the most common actives in anti-blemish skincare, but its safety is still under review in Europe. Novexpert follows a strict precautionary principle, so the whole Trio-Zinc range is formulated without it and relies on zinc to treat blemishes instead.

Can I use it during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Yes. Novexpert formulates all its products to be safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.

What does zinc do for acne-prone skin?
Zinc is an essential trace element for oily and blemish-prone skin. It helps eliminate the bacteria behind breakouts, calms inflammation and protects sebum from oxidation, which makes blemishes worse. Novexpert combines three forms, zinc gluconate, lactate and PCA, to act on the causes of blemishes as well as the blemishes themselves.

What does bakuchiol do for my skin?
Bakuchiol is a plant active known as nature's alternative to retinol. It helps boost collagen to smooth the first fine lines, protects the skin from daily aggressors and purifies. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin, so you can treat blemishes and the first signs of ageing in one step.
