Azlok's Anti Acne Cream Base (Ready to Use) is a pre-formulated white cream that you can apply straight from the jar or use as a foundation for your own acne-focused skincare products. It already contains active ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid and jojoba oil, so you skip the difficult chemistry and get a stable, oil-free, non-comedogenic cream ready for use or private-label packaging.
What is this cream base for?
Acne usually comes down to a mix of clogged pores, excess oil, bacteria and inflammation. This base is designed with those triggers in mind. It helps keep pores clear, calms visible redness and supports the skin barrier without leaving a heavy, greasy film. Because it is sold as a base, it suits two kinds of buyers:
- Home users and hobbyists who want a simple, ready-made cream for acne-prone skin.
- Small businesses and formulators who want to add fragrance, extra actives or their own branding and sell it under their label.
What's inside and why it matters
The ingredient list does a lot of the work already:
- Niacinamide – helps regulate oil and reduce the look of redness and marks.
- Salicylic acid – a gentle exfoliant that helps unclog pores and reduce blackheads and whiteheads.
- Jojoba and grape seed oils – lightweight, non-comedogenic moisture.
- Panthenol, allantoin and shea (Butyrospermum parkii) – soothe and support the skin barrier.
- Ethyl ascorbic acid (Vitamin C derivative), tocopheryl acetate and retinyl palmitate – antioxidant support.
- Phenoxyethanol – preservative that keeps the cream stable for up to 24 months.
It is vegan-friendly, alcohol-free and soy-free, which makes it easier to market to customers who read labels carefully.
How to use it
For everyday use straight from the jar:
- Cleanse and pat your face dry.
- Take a pea-sized amount and spread a thin, even layer over the affected areas.
- Use once or twice a day. Start with once daily if your skin is new to salicylic acid.
- Follow with sunscreen in the morning, since exfoliating actives can make skin more sun-sensitive.
For formulators who want to customise:
- Warm a small portion gently and blend in your chosen additives at low percentages, then do a stability test before scaling up.
- Keep any additions skin-safe and non-comedogenic so you don't undo the base's purpose.
- Always test the final pH and patch-test the finished product before packing.
Safety and patch testing
This is a cosmetic cream for external use only. A few honest reminders:
- Patch-test first. Apply a little to your inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using on the face.
- For external use only. Do not swallow, and keep it away from eyes and broken skin.
- Introduce it slowly if you already use retinoids or acids, as combining exfoliants can cause dryness or irritation.
- Always wear sunscreen during the day.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- If you have a diagnosed skin condition or persistent, severe acne, speak to a dermatologist. A cream base is skincare, not a medical treatment.
Buying and storage tips
The base is priced from ₹449 and comes in a wide range of packs — 500 g, 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 20 kg and 25 kg — so you can start with a small jar for personal use or order bulk for production. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with the lid firmly closed to avoid contamination. Use clean, dry hands or a spatula to scoop out product. Sealed correctly, it has a shelf life of about 24 months. If you plan to sell finished products, ask Azlok for the COA and MSDS documents for your records.
FAQ
Can I use this cream directly on my skin?
Yes. It is a ready-to-use cream, so you can apply a thin layer to clean skin. Patch-test first and start with once-daily use to see how your skin responds.
Is it suitable for oily and sensitive skin?
It is oil-free and non-comedogenic, which suits oily and acne-prone skin. It also contains soothing ingredients like panthenol and allantoin, but sensitive skin should always patch-test because it does contain salicylic acid.
Can I add my own ingredients or fragrance?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons it is sold as a base. Add skin-safe actives or fragrance at low percentages, then run a small stability and patch test before making a larger batch.
How long does it last once opened?
Sealed and stored in a cool, dry place, the base keeps for up to 24 months. Once opened, use clean hands or a spatula and close the lid tightly to protect it.
Does it remove acne scars completely?
No cream can promise that. The formula helps fade the look of marks over time and supports clearer skin, but deep scars may need professional treatment. Keep expectations realistic and be consistent.
