biology
what it is
sebum is the lipid mix produced by sebaceous glands at the base of every hair follicle. it lubricates the surface and contributes to barrier function. when production runs high, the visible result is shine, congested pores, and the breeding ground for blemish-forming bacteria.
sebum-regulating peptides modulate the signaling that tells sebocytes how much to produce. the goal is to bring an oily skin back toward a normal output rate, not to shut sebaceous glands down. over-suppression undercuts barrier function.
drip's discovery pipeline scores candidates on predicted sebocyte-output reduction alongside predicted irritation and barrier impact. the goal is a sequence that lowers oil production by a useful margin without leaving skin tight or compromised.
