Take a closer look in the mirror in the evening and the makeup is only half the story. Tired skin, brittle nails or lifeless hair are reminders that skincare doesn't begin at the surface. Skin is the body's largest organ – and it shows whether what comes from within is enough for it.
Skin Complex brings seven actives together in one compact daily dose. Wild pansy and horsetail deliver plant constituents such as silicon and flavonoids – concentrated at a 10:1 ratio. Zinc appears in the well-formulated bisglycinate form, vitamin A as retinyl acetate, vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol, and chromium as picolinate. MSM rounds out the recipe with 180 mg of organic sulfur compound per daily dose.
Paracel is a brand by Espara, which has been developing micronutrient preparations for doctors, therapists and well-informed end customers for decades. The range covers single-ingredient products as well as carefully balanced combinations around one topic. Skin Complex belongs to the second group.

What does the 10:1 extract ratio mean for wild pansy and horsetail?
The 10:1 notation refers to the ratio between the starting plant material and the finished extract. Roughly ten parts of dried herb yield one part of extract powder. Applied to this formulation: 200 mg of 10:1 horsetail extract corresponds to a plant equivalent of around 2 g of dried horsetail. Value-giving constituents such as silicon and flavonoids are concentrated in the process.
What is MSM – and why is it in the complex?
MSM stands for methylsulfonylmethane, an organic sulfur compound that also occurs naturally in many plant and animal foods. Sulfur is part of amino acids such as cysteine and methionine and thus belongs to the building blocks of the body's own proteins. The daily dose contains 180 mg of MSM in powder form.
⚠️ Mandatory notices: Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and the recommended daily dose must not be exceeded. A varied and balanced diet together with a healthy lifestyle are important.

💬 Frequently asked questions
-
When is the best time to take Paracel Skin Complex?+
The recommended daily dose is two capsules before breakfast with enough liquid. A fixed morning slot makes the routine easier to keep up.
-
How long does one pack last?+
100 capsules correspond to 50 daily doses – roughly seven weeks at one dose per day.
-
Is Paracel Skin Complex genuinely suitable for vegans?+
Yes. The capsule shell is made from plant-based hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The formulation is also gluten-, lactose- and fructose-free.
-
What else is inside besides wild pansy and horsetail?+
Per daily dose, the complex contains 180 mg MSM, 10 mg zinc (in bisglycinate form), 900 µg vitamin A, 100 µg chromium and 20 µg vitamin D3. Carriers and antioxidants such as tocopherol and ascorbic acid keep the fat-soluble vitamins A and D3 stable inside the capsule.
-
What's the difference between a complex and a single zinc or vitamin capsule?+
Single-ingredient products deliver one active – usually at a higher single dose. A complex relies on the interplay of several nutrients around one topic. Both strategies have their place: mono products for targeted balancing of individual values, complexes for everyday cover across several building blocks.
-
Which other Paracel products go well with Skin Complex?+
The Paracel range includes more classic herbal products traditionally associated with skin and connective tissue.
Paracel Burdock Root is a long-established European herb, and
Paracel Gotu Kola is a central plant in Ayurvedic herbalism. Both make popular companions in a longer-term routine.
