5α AVOCUTA®, plant esters, has been developed from green chemistry. This active ingredient is from avocado.

The enzyme 5α- reductase, type 1, metabolizes testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), an androgen which has a powerful effect on the skin. The resulting DHT affects the pilosebaceous follicle, which increases the size of the sebaceous glands and the level of sebum secretion.

The butyl esters of avocado oil, which constitute 5α AVOCUTA®, in low doses, significantly inhibit the activity of 5α- reductase type 1.

The cumulative surface area of lipid spots decreased by an average of 69% (See pictures below)
