Seborami (INCI: Glycerin (and) water (aqua) (and) Sisymbrium officinale extract (and) Arctium lappa root extract (and) citric acid (and) glycolic acid (and) zinc PCA (and) sclerotium gum) is formulated to regulate sebum secretion and act on bacteria-causing acne, in addition to controlling shine.

The ingredient contains a zinc salt derivative from an amino acid with a sebostatic and antisepic action. It also contains two AHAs, citric and glycolic acid, which the company reports have keratolytic action to encourage the elimination of sebum.
