Supports Inflammation Balance
80% Silymarin Milk Thistle supports antioxidant defence and helps address inflammatory pathways linked to acne.
Supports Sebum Balance
R25% Punicalagin Pomegranate supports healthier sebum levels and balanced-looking skin.
Supports Antioxidant Defence
Milk Thistle helps strengthen the skin's own antioxidant defence against oxidative stress.
Supports Hormonal Balance
Plant-based GZen-Zinc™ from guava leaves supports hormonal activity linked to oil production.
Supports Gut-Skin Health
Pomegranate supports a healthier gut-skin axis as part of a comprehensive acne-care routine.
Three Plant Actives, Five Acne Pathways
Each active is standardised to its key compound and aimed at a different internal trigger of acne.
GZen-Zinc™ (from Guava leaves)
- Guava leaf extract standardised to 4% zinc, with natural polyphenols.
- Supplies bioavailable zinc at 54% RDA.
- Helps modulate DHT-linked activity via 5-alpha reductase genes, a driver of excess oil.
- Together, they support sebum control along with gentle hormonal balance.
Pomegranate Extract (25% Punicalagin)
- Extract of Punica granatum fruit, standardised to 25% punicalagin, a potent plant polyphenol.
- Supports the gut-skin axis and microbiome balance from within.
- Helps lower excess sebum (about 21.9% less) and acts through anti-lipase activity.
Milk Thistle Extract (80% Silymarin)
- Silybum marianum extract standardised to 80% silymarin.
- Delivers 210 mg of silymarin per serving, in line with clinically studied dosages.
- Helps ease oxidative stress, supports Glutathione and lowers IL-8, an inflammatory signal linked to redness and breakouts.
- Linked to 53% reduction in inflammatory acne.

Five Internal Triggers Keep Acne Coming Back
Inflammation
Inflammatory pathways can drive red, painful breakouts
Oxidative Stress
It can weaken the skin's natural defence systems
Surplus Sebum
Surplus oil can clog pores and fuel repeat breakouts
Gut Imbalance
Gut health can shape how skin behaves and responds
Imbalanced Hormones
Hormonal shifts can influence oil production and acne recurrence

Good questions, honest answers
OZiva’s Acne Care + Milk Thistle, a drinkable plant-based acne supplement, is meant to help reduce acne from within. Rather than treating just the surface, it goes after internal triggers including androgen imbalance, impaired skin barrier function, excess sebum, gut, oxidative stress and inflammation.
Hormonal acne is primarily driven by androgens like DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which increase sebaceous gland activity and lead to excess oil production and breakouts. OZiva Acne Care + Milk Thistle works by targeting these root causes from within. GZen-Zinc™ a plant-derived zinc from guava leaf extract that helps modulate DHT-related pathways, supporting reduced sebum production at the source, while also helping regulate inflammation and support skin repair. Pomegranate extract (standardized to punicalagin) further supports sebum regulation, helping reduce excess oil levels. Milk Thistle (standardized to silymarin) complements this by reducing oxidative stress and supporting inflammatory balance. Together, these ingredients work across DHT-driven oil production, sebum imbalance, oxidative stress, and inflammation, helping manage hormonal acne from within rather than just addressing surface symptoms.
This supplement is ideal for anyone dealing with persistent acne who feels that topical solutions alone aren’t delivering results and is looking to address acne from within. It is especially suitable for individuals experiencing inflammatory acne such as papules and pustules, along with redness, irritation, and recurring breakouts—often linked to internal triggers like excess oil production, inflammation, or hormonal imbalance.
Most acne products only work on the surface—targeting oil or bacteria. This supplement works from within to address the real causes of acne. By working on root causes together, it offers a more complete solution compared to regular acne products that usually focus on just one problem. It contains standardized, clinically relevant actives chosen to deliver more effective and visible results.
Pour one sachet in a glass of water, allow it to dissolve completely and drink it. Consume this once a day, daily after any meal. For best results, use consistently as part of your skincare routine.
Yes. This works internally, so it can be used alongside your existing skincare routine for a more complete approach to acne care.
The formulation targets multiple biological pathways involved in acne. It helps reduce inflammatory signals, improve antioxidant levels, regulate sebum production and support gut–skin communication, helps regulate androgen levels, creating a more balanced internal environment for clearer skin.
Yes, pomegranate extract helps regulate excess oil production, while plant-based zinc from guava leaf supports mild DHT balance, both of which are linked to acne development.
Yes. The ingredients used in this formulation are standardized to active compounds and have been studied for their effects on inflammation, oxidative stress, sebum balance, and acne-related pathways.
