Lightweight Daily Lotion

Controls Oil at the Source, Clears Breakouts,
and Supports Skin's Natural Immunity.

Circadia Daytime Control Oil Reducer is a professional-grade daily lotion engineered for acne, oily, and combination skin. Unlike surface-absorbing mattifiers, it addresses the underlying cause of excess oil. Regu-Seb inhibits 5a-reductase — the enzyme that drives overactive sebum production — delivering long-term oil regulation rather than temporary shine control. Acetyl Dipeptide-3 (Bodyfensine) mimics the skin's own human β-defensin antimicrobial peptides, reinforcing natural skin immunity and reducing the risk of infection from external agents. GranActive Acne Complex contributes a botanical blend of antimicrobial peptides specifically effective against P. acnes bacteria. Canadian Willowherb Extract further inhibits P. acnes, reduces free radical formation, and calms redness from chemical and UV damage. Niacinamide inhibits melanosome transfer to reduce visible pigmentation and post-acne marks. Lilac Stem Cell Extract, rich in verbascoside, provides strong anti-inflammatory activity and additional efficacy against P. acnes. Allantoin soothes and Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) delivers antioxidant and moisturizing support — keeping the skin comfortable, protected, and balanced throughout the day.

Key Actives

The Science Behind the Control

Sebum Regulator

Regu-Seb

A clinically developed active that regulates and reduces sebum production through 5a-reductase inhibition — targeting the enzyme responsible for excess oil at the source for long-term control.

Skin Immunity Booster

Acetyl Dipeptide-3 (Bodyfensine)

A synthetic mimetic of human β-defensins 2 and 3 — the skin's own naturally produced antimicrobial peptides. Reinforces natural skin immunity, lowers infection risk, and minimizes irritation.

Acne-Fighting Complex

GranActive Acne

A botanical complex of antimicrobial peptides specifically effective against Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) — the primary bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne lesions.

Pigmentation Reducer

Niacinamide

Inhibits melanosome transfer between melanocytes and keratinocytes, visibly reducing pigmentation and post-acne marks for a more even, clearer-looking complexion over time.

Multi-Action Botanical

Canadian Willowherb Extract

Epilobium Angustifolium Extract — inhibits P. acnes, reduces free radical formation, and calms redness associated with chemical and UV damage. A powerful multi-benefit botanical for acne-prone skin.

Anti-Inflammatory Stem Cell

Lilac Stem Cell Extract

Syringa Vulgaris Leaf Cell Culture Extract — rich in verbascoside, a powerful polyphenol with strong anti-inflammatory activity and demonstrated effectiveness against P. acnes bacteria.

Benefits

What It Does

Oil Control

Regu-Seb inhibits 5a-reductase to regulate sebum production at the source — reducing excess shine throughout the day, not just absorbing it.

Breakout Defense

GranActive Acne, Canadian Willowherb, and Lilac Stem Cell Extract target P. acnes bacteria while Bodyfensine reinforces skin immunity against future breakouts.

Soothed & Balanced

Allantoin soothes, Vitamin E moisturizes, and Niacinamide reduces pigmentation — leaving skin calm, even-toned, and comfortable all day.

Directions

How to Use

Morning and evening after cleanser and serum.

1

Cleanse & Apply Serum

Cleanse thoroughly morning and evening. Apply any targeted serums first — Daytime Control Oil Reducer is applied as the final moisturizing step.

2

Dispense

Dispense a dime-size amount onto fingertips. A little goes a long way — the lightweight formula spreads easily across the face and neck.

3

Apply

Smooth over the face and neck. Avoid contact with eyes. In the morning, follow with SPF. In the evening, use as your final skincare step.
