Truth be told, there’s not a lot succinic acid can’t do. The ultimate all-rounder, it’s a anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory ingredient, making it an effective solution for clearing persistent acne breakouts. As well as acne, succinic acid also works effectively in soothing eczema and psoriasis.

What skincare conditions does it treat?

Though succinic acid is best known for its ability to control sebum (oil) production, it's also an excellent hydrator. That's because its structure is similar to that of our skin's own lipids (or fats). It's gentle on the skin No, not exactly. While both are considered to be effective anti-acne ingredients, succinic acid is a lot milder than salicylic acid. The “very high concentration of free acids” does sound scary, but it works to battle breakouts. Most people shouldn’t suffer any ill effects, but as with all acne treatments, it’s worth testing the product on a small area of your skin before you get carried away. In addition, be absolutely sure to wear sunscreen for a week after your peel, because AHAs make your skin much more susceptible to sunburn. If you have dry, oily, combination or sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts and blemishes, you would not regret getting The Inkey List Succinic Acid Blemish Treatment. I feel like it works even faster than pimple patches in my opinion.
