SUCCINIC ACID / AMBER ACID

WHAT IS SUCCINIC ACID / AMBER ACID?

Succinic Acid, internationally known as Amber Acid, is a natural dicarboxylic acid originally derived from amber. Today, it is predominantly produced through advanced biotechnological methods, ensuring sustainable and highly pure extraction. In skincare, Succinic Acid is gaining increasing attention as it addresses multiple skin concerns at once: from blemishes and excess sebum to oxidative stress and the first visible signs of skin aging.

Its remarkable effectiveness lies in its ability to regulate sebum production, reduce inflammation, and support skin cell regeneration. This makes Succinic Acid a versatile active ingredient capable of delivering visible improvements for oily, blemish-prone, stressed, or mature skin.

Unlike stronger acids such as highly concentrated Salicylic or Glycolic Acid, Succinic Acid acts more gently without compromising effectiveness. These properties make it a valuable component of modern cleansing products, such as the Foam Intense Cleansing Foam from DOC BERGER EFFECT.

NATURAL SOURCES AND PRODUCTION OF SUCCINIC ACID / AMBER ACID

Although Succinic Acid takes its name from amber, in modern skincare it is almost exclusively obtained through biotechnological processes.

• Biotechnological Production: Under controlled conditions, Succinic Acid is derived fermentatively from natural raw materials. This process guarantees consistently high quality and purity.
• Sustainability: By moving away from traditional amber extraction, the environment is protected while enabling efficient large-scale production.
• Effectiveness in Skincare Products: Biotechnologically produced Succinic Acid effectively targets blemishes, excess sebum, and oxidative damage, while supporting skin balance – without irritating or drying out the skin.
