That is exactly the wrong move: the more you strip away the oils, the harder your sebaceous glands work to replace them. This gel is therefore formulated around two things simultaneously. On one hand, ingredients that help keep excess sebum in check; on the other, soothing and antioxidant extracts: aloe vera, witch hazel, propolis, rice bran extract, boswellia, and algae extract. It also contains BIOPEP-15, the peptide complex specifically developed by Cantabria Labs for the Biretix line. The result is a cleanser that removes impurities and oil without leaving your skin feeling tight afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture is a clear gel that lathers lightly and rinses off easily.

This is the foundation of your routine, not the solution. What it does do is ensure that whatever you apply afterward goes onto clean, calm skin, and that is worth more than it seems. The habit I most often have to break in the salon is people cleansing two to three times a day because they feel greasy, or using scrubs and disinfectants on pimples. That only makes your skin redder and more agitated. Twice a day is enough, and keep your hands off your face. If you are also using Biretix Duo or the Tri-Active Gel, then this is the logical cleanser to use underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure which Biretix suits your skin?

But skin that dries out produces even more sebum, and that’s where a vicious cycle begins. This fluid solves that by separating two things: moisture and oil. A long-lasting hydrating system with cross-linked hyaluronic acid brings moisture in, while silicon microparticles and absorbent powders capture excess sebum on the surface. Niacinamide and zinc help keep sebum production in balance. Additionally, it contains RetinSphere technology, a combination of hydroxypinacolone retinoate and encapsulated retinol that mildly helps renew the skin and thus refines its texture.

Fifteen percent glycolic acid loosens the bonds between dead cells on the surface, making the skin smoother and helping spots fade faster.

What I also see in those who build it up gradually: the texture improves first, somewhere around weeks four to six, and the spots follow much more slowly, sometimes only after three months.

I will also be honest: this is cosmetics, not medication. If you have deep, painful bumps or scarring, you belong at a doctor’s office, and this is at most a supplement.
