Addressing the Challenges of Acne Formulation
Acne care has long presented formulators with a paradox. On the one hand, products must be potent enough to combat Propionibacterium acnes, the primary culprit behind breakouts. On the other, harsh formulations lead to irritation, pain, and prolonged recovery times. Many conventional treatments rely on aggressive chemical exfoliation, benzoyl peroxide, or antibiotics, which often result in skin sensitivity, prolonged redness, and compromised skin barriers. Furthermore, the necessity for low pH environments in traditional formulations creates stability issues, making it challenging for formulators to develop effective yet mild solutions.

The Science Behind BGT™ Oy-Oligo-P32
Marine organisms have evolved to withstand extreme environmental pressures, and oysters, in particular, have developed sophisticated defense mechanisms to survive in their microbe-rich habitats. These bivalves produce a diverse array of antimicrobial peptides, naturally equipping them with the ability to resist bacterial and fungal invasions. Unlike many terrestrial organisms, oysters must constantly filter large volumes of water, exposing them to a vast array of pathogens. Over millions of years, this evolutionary pressure has refined their immune responses, making their peptides particularly potent and resilient.
By leveraging BGT’s proprietary AIGC protein generation evolution design platform, BGT™ Oy-Oligo-P32 replicates the protective plasma of oysters, extracting and optimizing its antimicrobial properties. The result is a bioactive peptide that effectively neutralizes acne-causing bacteria while maintaining skin integrity, offering a cutting-edge solution for modern skincare formulations.
Key properties include:
- Strong inhibition of Propionibacterium acnes
- Deep penetration, effectively treating non-open comedones
- Anti-inflammatory action without triggering the release of inflammatory cytokines
- Safe and non-irritating, suitable for even sensitive skin types
Clinical Validation: Rapid and Reliable Results
The effectiveness of BGT Oy-Oligo-P32 has been demonstrated in controlled studies:
- After just 3 days, 67% of users applying a 5% BGT Oy-Oligo-P32 lotion exhibited significant improvement, compared to minimal improvement in the control group.
- By day 12, 100% of the experimental group showed noticeable acne reduction, whereas only 26.7% of the control group displayed similar progress.
- Bacteriostatic tests confirmed that Oy-Oligo-P32 effectively inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and other acne-associated bacteria, reducing bacterial populations significantly without causing resistance or disrupting the skin microbiome.
Such rapid efficacy not only enhances user experience but also reduces the need for prolonged acne treatments that often compromise skin health.
Rethinking Anti-Acne Peptides
Compared to conventional anti-acne ingredients, BGT Oy-Oligo-P32 stands apart in several ways:
The Future of Acne Treatment: A Formulator’s Perspective
For formulators seeking to create next-generation acne solutions, BGT™ Oy-Oligo-P32 represents an elegant balance of efficacy and tolerability. With its ability to directly combat P. acnes, reduce inflammation, and provide rapid results without adverse effects, it is poised to become a key differentiator in modern acne care formulations.
BGT™ Oy-Oligo-P32 isn’t just another acne treatment. It’s a rethink—a scientific leap forward in how acne is treated and how skincare is formulated. For those at the forefront of cosmetic science, the question isn’t whether to integrate Oy-Oligo-P32—it’s how soon you can start.
