Acne
What is Acne?
Around three-quarters of all teenagers and young adults suffer from acne. However, men and women in their 30's and 40's can also suffer. The exact cause of acne remains unclear; however, there is information available about how the acne pimples form.
The causes of acne:
Acne is a skin condition caused by over activity of the glands that secrete oily substances on to the skin.
There are many factors involved in the development of acne, among which: the sex hormones, which are produced at puberty. The male hormone testosterone - found naturally in women as well as in men, triggers the sebaceous glands to produce more “sebum”: an oily substance, thus making the skin more greasy.
However, most acne sufferers don’t have a hormone problem and their hormones are at normal levels in their blood. The excess of sebum can lead the pore to block (the area around a hair follicle and the opening through the skin gets clogged). A bug, a bacterium called “P. Acnes”, which lives normally on the skin, can thrive within the clogged pore. This infection causes inflammation, which is responsible for the redness and swelling of a spot.
Treatment:
Benzoyl Peroxide is the only ingredient that is an ANTI-BACTERIAL agent, actually killing the bacteria “P. Acnes” which causes acne. Benzoyl Peroxide is therefore widely recognized as the most effective ingredient to treat pimples. It is found in all Benzagel products.
