Zinc PCA is the zinc salt of the L-PCA (pyrrolidine carboxylic acid) a doubly active complex that provides the skin and hair with the beneficial effects of the zinc and L-PCA:
– Zinc is involved not only in the synthesis of the nucleic acids, including the DNA, but also in the synthesis of proteins, cell division and in the structure and coenzymatic activation of many key molecules in the body and the skin. It also prevents the development of microbial infections thanks to its considerable antiseptic properties. It has been shown that zinc reduces sebum secretion by inhibiting the 5 α- reductase.
– When joining L-PCA to an active molecule such as zinc, it becomes a physiological vector which optimises its bioavailability and in addition acts as a signalling molecule to stimulate the epidermal differentiation and strengthen the skin barrier function.

Efficiency studies
A comparative in vitro test with Zinc Chloride revealed that Zinc PCA is from 20% up to 65% more effective in reducing 5 α- reductase activity.
Another in vitro test revealed the proactivity of Zinc PCA from dosages of 0.1% to inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium and from 0.5% for that of Staphylococcus epidermis.
An in vitro study of two groups of 16 volunteers applying a cream containing Zinc PCA to the middle of the forehead on a daily basis over a period of 28 days duration revealed a variation of 22 µg/cm² of the level of sebum compared to that of an area treated with a placebo.
