Acne is not caused by poor hygiene. Acne is caused by a mixture of dead skin cells and oil; however, washing your skin too aggressively can cause additional irritation making your acne worse.

Definition of Acne
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs when oil and dead skin cells block the pore opening, causing sebum (oil) to build up inside the pore.
Cleanser
Acne Life Cycle
Stage 1: Clogged Pores. Cells lining pores shed and mix with excess sebum produced by sebaceous glands, forming a plug, which leads to clogged pores.Stage 2: Bacteria. Accumulated sebum and dead cells attract the P. acnes (or propionibacterium) bacteria naturally found in skin, which feeds on oil and multiplies rapidly inside pores.Stage 3: Inflammation. This bacterial overgrowth triggers the natural inflammatory response causing swelling and redness. This can ultimately lead to discoloration and scarring.

Treating Acne
When treating acne topically, dermatologists recommend a three-pronged approach:
• Unclog pores and keep them clear.• Control oil which helps to limit bacterial growth.• Reduce inflammation.

The Cleansing Dilemma
Cleansing is a vital step for those suffering from acne. The cleanser must be powerful enough to rid the skin of excess oils and dissipate plugs from within the pores. However if cleansing is too harsh, it can cause additional irritation or overdryness, which breaks down the moisture barrier. Scrubbing or using an exfoliant can spread bacteria and increase inflammation. The ideal solution is a gentle cleanser that has the ability to eliminate clogged pores, while also maintaining the moisture barrier.

Key Ingredients
Cleanser
Key Benefit Supported
Addresses PRESENT issues of blemish-prone skin.• Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, penetrates pores and gently exfoliates
to eliminate most blemishes. Beta hydroxy acids provide long term benefits by assisting the sloughing off of dead skin cells and speeding up the cell renewal processes of the skin. Salicylic acid is lipophilic and, therefore, has an affinity for oils allowing it to penetrate into the pores and break down the plug. Salicylic acid keeps follicles clear so the pimple forming environment is wiped out.
Cleanser
Key Benefit Supported
Addresses FUTURE issues of blemish-prone skin.• TEA cocoyl glutamate is an extremely mild, yet excellent cleansing
agent. It is able to clean the skin and remove oil and shine without causing irritation, tightness, or dryness. It leaves skin feeling clean, soft, and supple.
Cleanser
UsageDispense cleanser (about the amount of a medium-sized coin) into palm of hand. Apply to dry face and neck in a circular motion. Let foam work on skin for one to three minutes while it dissipates from white to clear. Rinse with warm water and towel dry.
