How to Treat Acne: Start at the Source

The most common acne treatments aim at getting rid of keratin, bacteria and unnecessary oil and irritants. Many of these acne treatments don’t work 100% and often cause just as much damage as they solve.

Basic Acne Treatments

The most typical first steps is a solution utilizing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, which abrades away excess pore-clogging skin, kills bacteria and removes sebum. Unfortunately, in the process, most acne treatments cause significant drying and irritation to the skin and can cause even more acne breakouts. The free radicals that are released by benzoyl peroxide actually directly harm the skin.

Additional acne method alternatives include antibiotics, topical or ingested. Some might try Accutane, an isotretinoin, for severe acne. This acne medication is usually last on the list of dermatologist suggestions and used when all other options have failed. They inhibit sebum production, but unfortunately, they also come with a long list of, often very severe, side effects.

When you learn how to treat acne, you can teach yourself how to properly cleanse your face and skin and eliminate excess skin cells, oil and bacteria; however, a truly successful acne treatment will go beyond this. The basic treatments don’t help you stimulate the fast recovery and renewal of skin cells. An all around acne solution will also prompt the skin to heal itself, in addition to removing the skin of the factors that cause acne.

Cosmetic Treatments for Acne Vulgaris

Some of the methods used to stimulate the body's natural rejuvenating processes include acne laser treatment, chemical peels, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion. The basic idea is that by removing a layer of skin you prompt the body, as part of its natural recovery process, to create a new, healthy layer of skin to replace that, which was lost. The skin cells of the lower layers of the skin divide and create a healthy, new layer.

Supporting the Skin and Immune System

A complete and balanced diet plays a vital role in this process. The skin is the largest organ of the body and needs antioxidants and vitamins to be well maintained. Most people don’t get their daily requirement because they lack the 3-5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

Although there are many vitamins and minerals that play a role in acne’s appearance, be especially conscience of vitamin A and vitamin B complex vitamins in your diet. Vitamin A reduces the creation of sebum, fortifies the protective tissue and also acts as an antioxidant. It is involved in the maintenance and repair of skin tissue. There are many vitamin Bs, therefore, it is called vitamin B complex. Together, these vitamins revitalize skin and alleviate stress (that itself is a cause of acne). Other functions include removal of toxins, blood circulation improvement and maintenance of adrenal gland and immune system functioning.

It is important to support the immune system. Acne, as you see, is really just the body’s reaction to foreign bodies and cell damage. There are some topical systems that help support the immune system right at the site. Natural products with antimicrobial properties can help your immune system in its work of removing antigens without the severe drying or other negative side effects of traditional methods.

You can further support the immune system with natural products that help send signals to your body that amplify the amount of natural antimicrobial peptides released by the skin.

Side effects of your immune system healing damaged sebum ducts and protecting against infection causes the inflammation and redness that’s very well known with acne. There are prescription treatments for minimizing inflammation, however, they are unnatural and often suppress the immune system. Use an acne treatment that will alleviate inflammation naturally and curb excessive inflammatory reactions, without draining your body's germ fighting capabilities.

BIO ACNE CARE
Gentle but effective acne treatment serum for pimples & acne cysts

The product is oil free and contains the following ingredients that act in concert to yield benefits that go beyond the sum of those of their specific parts:

a) our biological Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates with antioxidant, antimicrobial & skin regeneration properties to heal skin lesions within the follicles, control acne bacteria and prevent and get rid of acne scars;

b) the active extract of the bark of the Black willow ( Salix Nigra) tree to enhance cell renewal on the surface of the skin, unclog pores and reduce acneic skin flora (Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus). The actual content of willow (Salix Nigra) extract expressed as standarized salicylic acid is less than 0.5%. The Salix Nigra extract also provides natural B-hydroxy acid activity, without the skin irritation commonly associated with synthetic salicylic acid;

c) modified glucomannan (carbohydrate) -high molecular weight heterpolysaccharides made up of glucose and mannose derived from the Japanese Konjac tuber (root)- that reduce the surface tension of oil and facilitates its dispersion into droplets. These droplets get distributed evenly along the skin’s surface, minimizing their presence and oily feel;

d) Hyaluronic Acid a glycosaminoglycan (also present in the snail serum) to deeply moisturize the skin and restore the capacity of the skin to hold in moisture; and seaweed extracts that provide moisture and trace minerals necessary for the recovery of damaged skin cells; and sodium salt of pyroglutamic acid (naturally in human skin) moisturizer;

e) Japanese Licochalcone LR-15 from Licorice (Glycyrrhiza inflate) extract which clinicals (*) in Japan have shown that at very low concentration reduces undesired p. acnes and other acneic skin flora, is anti-irritating, anti-inflammatory and reduces sebum output. 

Apply a thin layer twice a day on all the area affected with acne (whole face, chest or back) and then always use sun protection.  If you are allergic to salycilic acid or to aspirin do not use the product and if you experience stinging or irritation (very unlikely) you must stop using the product and consult your physician.

Abstract: Licochalcone-A, Polyol Soluble Licorice Extract P-U (now in the market as Licochalcone LR-15), prepared from the roots of Glycyrrhiza Inflata Batalin shows several activities such as inhibitory actions of testosterone 5 ALPHA-reductase, lipase and phospholipase A2, as well as androgen receptor antagonist, antimicrobial and SOD-like antioxidant actions, which relate to skin care, especially the suppression of acne formation and development. On basis of this evidence, a trial with acne patients was carried out and the efficacy of the extract was demonstrated clinically.
