What is Acne ?
Understanding Acne
-
Acne is a common skin condition characterized by the appearance of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) on the skin.
-
It is a multifactorial disease that involves the sebaceous glands at the base of hair follicles and primarily affects adolescents and young adults, although it can persist into adulthood. The skin contains sebaceous glands that produce an oily substance that helps maintain skin moisture and protection. However, excess sebum production, often caused by hormonal changes, combined with the shedding of dead skin cells, can leadto the blockage of skin pores.
-
This blockage is called a comedo. The comedo structure, containing excess sebum and dead cells, provides a fertile ground for the proliferation of bacteria living on our skin, including the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes. As a result of the bacterial overgrowth within the comedo structure, inflammation in the skin begins, leading to the formation of inflamed lesions - these are the familiar acne pimples.
What are the causes of acne?
-
Hormonal Changes: Acne is most common among adolescents due to hormonal changes that occur during puberty, which stimulate the sebaceous glands and increase oil production. These hormonal fluctuations can also occur during pregnancy, menstruation, and the use of oral contraceptives.
-
Genetics: A family history of acne may increase susceptibility to its development, suggesting a genetic component.
-
Diet: Although the link between diet and acne is still debated, some studies indicate that certain foods, especially those high in carbohydrates and dairy products, may exacerbate acne in certain individuals.
-
Bacteria: The presence of the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes on the skin can contribute to inflammation and the formation of pimples.
-
Other Factors: Stress, certain medications, and the use of oily or greasy personal care products can also contribute to the development of acne.
The solution:
Introducing our revolutionary acne treatment cream! The product is loaded with ozone gas for deep disinfection and astaxanthin for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, the product disinfects, promotes cell renewal, soothes pain and prevents scarring.
Ozone gas:
Ultimate antiseptic ingredient : Ozone gas is a compound of oxygen and ozone. The main mechanism by which the gas affects the wound is by disinfecting the area and promoting the healing processes. The microbial activity of the gas allows it to provide many benefits for treating wounds, such as:
-
Destruction of bacteria, viruses and fungi that may be responsible for the development of the wound.
-
Encouraging blood flow to the wound area, which allows the healing materials to reach the area more effectively.
-
Encouraging the regeneration of skin cells and the electrification of the cells in the wound area.
-
Ozone gas produces free radicals that allow it to be very anti-allergenic, which allows it to be highly recommended in cases of open wounds.
Astaxanthin:
-
Reduction of oxidative stress with powerful antioxidant activity - the collagen protein, which we mentioned as one of the main components in the composition of the skin, is sensitive to oxidative damage and tends to break down when meeting with oxygen radicals that are common in the body and other free radicals. The presence of astaxanthin in the skin tissue neutralizes free radicals, reduces oxidative stress therefore slowing the rate of collagen degradation. Maintaining a high collagen concentration in the skin gives a younger and healthier appearance.
-
Encouraging the regeneration of skin cells - the presence of astaxanthin encourages the renewal of old skin cells and accelerates the rate of skin recovery from wounds. The involvement of astaxanthin in the rate of cell renewal is reflected in the increase in the number of proteins that take part in tissue renewal and wound repair.
-
Inhibition of unwanted inflammatory reactions - astaxanthin regulates the activity of a protein called NF-kB known as a dominant mediator in inflammatory reactions that are sometimes unnecessary and even damage the body's tissues.
