PuraCap launches new acne products

PuraCap Pharmaceutical has launched two new acne products, Eptex Acne Wash and Eptex Acne Relief Lotion.

The products are claimed to use delivery systems and proven ingredients to treat acne for patients with sensitive skin. They are available through healthcare professionals.

The company also produces a prescription controlled-release skin barrier emulsion EpiCeram to treat atopic dermatitis and related skin conditions.

PuraCap Pharmaceutical's chief executive officer Dahai Guo said: "PuraCap has a strong, growing portfolio of dermatology products and continues to offer innovative solutions.

"We are committed to meeting the needs of people with dermatological conditions and are pleased to introduce Eptex Acne Wash and Acne Relief Lotion."

The new products are equipped with a controlled release Intelli-Target technology. This is claimed to result in a reduction of treatment-related side effects by supplying actives gradually over time.

The products also consist of foundational lipids MultiSal Neolipids, which repair the skin barrier. It is claimed to be suitable for both teens and adults.

PuraCap's branded Rx division vice-president and general manager Elise Geiger said: "Now there is a new acne alternative that enables patients to reap the benefits of benchmark treatments while minimising any potential side effects typically associated with these treatments.

"We look forward to partnering with physicians to provide these intelligent acne products to patients."
