Clear Skin Products for AcneAcne, also called “blemishes”,
“zits”, or “problem skin”, is simply a genetic
disease of the sebaceous hair follicle. Each follicle contains a
tiny hair and multi-lobed sebaceous gland. In non-acneic skin, sebum
travels up the hair follicle and out to the skins surface. In acne
skin, the sebum gets trapped within the follicle.
Enzymes from the bacteria split the sebum into free fatty acids
which are highly irritating to the skin. When a break in the cell
wall occurs, the free fatty acid and cellular debris cause inflammatory
reactions. There is no cure for acne. Acne sufferers can achieve
clear skin by controlling the factors that can set off the eruptions,
and using benzoyl peroxide. When applied topically, benzoyl peroxide
(b.p.) is an antibacterial ingredient that successfully treats acne
by penetrating into the follicle and releasing oxygen. This oxygen
acts like bleach by killing the p. acnes bacteria (the bacteria
that causes acne) and opening up the acne impactions to kill the
P. acnes bacteria (the bacteria that causes acne). This reduces
the level of free fatty acids and the level of skin infection. Clients
will need to acclimate to b.p. as it is very drying. Include Green
Tea Gel, Recovery Gel Mask, and SPF 30 Lotion into their regimen.
Less than2% of the population is allergic to b.p.; use Control Serum
for them. |
