WINLEVI® is the only acne cream that targets sebum (oil) production

What is SEBUM?

Sebum is an oily wax that your skin makes. Some of it’s good—it keeps your skin hydrated and protected. But when there’s too much, it becomes acne’s best friend, feeding the bacteria that cause breakouts.

WINLEVI is unique

Unlike any other topical, WINLEVI reduces sebum production by stopping those acne hormones in your skin from causing too much sebum—leading to clearer skin and more control over acne breakouts.

Worried about scarring?
Treating your teen’s acne early can reduce the risk of scarring.
