What is Succinic Acid?

Succinic Acid is a naturally occurring compound found in amber and certain plant sources. In skincare, it is gaining popularity as a multi-functional ingredient that targets acne, aging, and skin renewal while being gentler than traditional acids. Unlike stronger exfoliants such as Salicylic Acid or Glycolic Acid, Succinic Acid provides a more balanced approach by offering mild exfoliation, oil regulation, and anti-inflammatory properties—making it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

How Does Succinic Acid Work?

Exfoliation & Cell Renewal: Unlike AHAs and BHAs, which penetrate deeper into the skin, Succinic Acid works at the surface level to gently dissolve dead skin cells and promote a brighter complexion.

Sebum Regulation: It helps balance oil production without over-drying, making it beneficial for oily and combination skin types.

Antimicrobial & Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Succinic Acid has been shown to reduce acne-causing bacteria, making it a great addition to anti-blemish treatments.

Anti-Aging Benefits: By promoting collagen production and skin elasticity, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
