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.

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.

Introduction

Cleanser

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.

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.
