How Papulex™ works
Designed to form a comprehensive skincare routine, the Papulex™ product range helps you cleanse, clarify, control and hydrate your skin. Our products fight blemishes and work to prevent their return by using a unique combination of key ingredients.
Among the most important of these ingredients is Defenskin™ – a scientifically designed ingredient that proactively defends the skin whilst also supporting its natural microbiome. Because less bacteria can mean clearer skin.

Our recommended routine for all the Papulex™ benefits
Key Ingredients:
Defenskin™
Defenskin™ has been shown to reduce bacterial adhesion to the skin by up to 97%. This means it helps prevent harmful bacteria from colonising the skin & breeding in pores. It provides proactive defense because less bacteria can mean clearer skin.
Niacinamide:
Proven in clinical evaluations to have a range of skincare benefits, Niacinamide does more than just fight blemishes and redness. It helps prevent their return and also reduces skin sebum levels, as well as pore size. Triple win!
Zincidone®:
Scientific testing has shown that Zinc reduces sebum secretion. By refining it with the addition of L-PCA to make Zincidone® (Zinc PCA), we increased this effect and retained its kindness to the skin. Reducing skin oil levels helps reduce blemish formation.
