DermalRx® CKW is a proprietary extract from the rhizomes of Curcuma kwangsiensis and Curcuma wenyujin that is rich in sesquiterpenoids for optimal sebum control in the skin. Specifically, DermalRx® CKW inhibits the activity of 5α-reductase, the enzyme responsible for generating the sebum-inducing molecule, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), in the skin. Clinical studies demonstrate that DermalRx® CKW minimizes sebum production among male and female populations, while visibly reducing sheen. Additionally, DermalRx® CKW also offers protection from oxidative stress.
