What is Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It results in various types of pimples, including blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes cysts. Acne usually appears on the face but can also occur on the chest, back, and shoulders. Although it mainly affects adolescents, acne can affect people of all ages.
Causes of acne
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with excess oil and dead skin cells, which can lead to closed comedones, open comedones, or more severe forms such as pustules, papules, and cysts. Overproduction of sebum, hormonal changes, stress, and diet can contribute to the development of acne.
The bacterium Cutibacterium acnes (formerly known as P. acnes) also plays a crucial role in the formation of acne. This bacterium colonizes the hair follicles and breaks down sebum, which can trigger an inflammatory response. The immune system reacts by sending white blood cells to the inflamed area, which can cause the hair follicle wall to rupture and release sebum, C. acnes, and keratin into the deeper skin layer. This results in inflammatory cells within the dermis and acne symptoms such as red bumps, pimples, and nodular swellings.
Different types of impurities
Impurities in the skin, whether acne, blackheads, spots, or scars, can have various causes. They can result from overproduction of oil, improper skin cleansing, hormonal fluctuations, stress, diet, and more.
-
Open comedones
These are small, dark spots on the skin caused by clogged hair follicles. The dark color does not come from dirt but from the oxidation of sebum when exposed to air.
-
Closed comedones
These are small, hard, white bumps that sit under the skin. They are caused by accumulated sebum and dead skin cells in the pores.
-
Papers
These are small, hard, inflamed red bumps that can be painful.
-
Pustules
These are red, inflamed pimples with white or yellow pus at the tip.
-
Nodular acne
This type of acne consists of large, hard, painful, deep-seated lumps.
-
Cystic acne
This is the most severe form of acne, characterized by large, inflamed cysts and nodules that lie deep within the skin. It can cause scarring.
On a prebiotic basis
Strengthens the natural skin barrier and balances the skin flora.
Protect
Prebiotics can help control this bacterium and improve the health of acne-prone skin. Prebiotics are substances that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the skin microbiota, which can lead to a better balance and healthier skin. They can suppress the growth of harmful bacteria such as C. Acnes by creating an environment favorable to beneficial bacteria. Additionally, prebiotics can reduce inflammation, which is often associated with acne. By restoring the balance of the skin microbiota and reducing inflammation, prebiotics can help lessen acne symptoms and improve overall skin health.
Control
Regulating sebum production is crucial for the treatment and management of acne. Excessive sebum production can lead to clogged pores, creating an ideal environment for the growth of the C. Acnes bacteria, a key factor in the development of acne.
DermoCosmetics Clarifying products address this issue by using multiple active ingredients. These components work together to regulate and balance sebum production, reducing the likelihood of acne. They help harmonize the activity of the sebaceous glands, decrease excessive sebum production, and prevent the skin from becoming too oily.
Exfoliate
Salicylic acid is an important ingredient in the fight against acne. It is a beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates deep into the pores to remove excess oil and dead skin cells, reducing blockages and preventing acne breakouts. Additionally, salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness and swelling associated with pimples. Exfoliation – the process of removing dead skin cells – is crucial for acne treatment. By exfoliating regularly, the skin can stay healthy and new acne breakouts can be prevented. However, it is important to exfoliate safely to avoid irritation and possible skin damage.
