Sustained Release Actives


Advanced actives, released over time for deeper results without irritation

What are Sustained Release Actives?

Sustained Release Actives are time-released actives, used in Cureskin products, that remain bioavailable for longer, and penetrate deeper, without irritating the skin or scalp. The result? Improved clinical outcomes without side effects — ideal for concerns like acne, pigmentation, hair fall, and sensitivity.
Sustained release formulations have their key ingredients encapsulated with a protective layer at a molecular level, allowing them to reach your skin in their active and pristine form.

How does it work?

Right after the product is applied to your skin

A molecular sphere melts, activating the ingredient.

The ingredients are released slowly over several hours.

The Actives reach the skin in their most potent form.

You get better results, with reduced risk of irritation.

Comparison

Time-based release vs immediate release

With conventional active-based skin-care products from the market, several users experience skin irritation, dryness or discomfort. These products have their actives released immediately upon application — often causing redness, dryness, or irritation.  Cureskin uses sustained-release actives in its products to enhance product efficacy while respecting the skin’s absorption rhythm.

For example, in high-concentration Salicyclic or Glycolic market formulations, there is a sudden drop in pH observed that irritates the skin. This is avoided when using Sustained-Release Cureskin products, which maintain pH close to a range that is safe for sensitive skin while also delivering high efficacy.

This delivery approach ensures that each active works at its best — steadily, safely, and effectively. The sustained release ensures gradual, controlled delivery of ingredients like retinol, salicylic acid and glycolic acid over several hours.

This enhances ingredient stability and supports long-term healing. It’s especially effective for Indian skin types where barrier damage is common. It’s not just a formulation choice, but part of Cureskin’s commitment to precision-led, science-based care that delivers real, lasting results.
