A gentle and powerful solution for acne breakouts and recurrent acne cysts

By treating the root causes of acne BIOSKINFORTE works to:

• Moderates the inflammatory result —triggered by even the minutest lesion or disorder (deficiency of linoleic acid) in the sebum canals. The protective strategies of the innate immune system of the skin are supported within the hair follicle shafts and in the area of skin lesions.

• Supplies linoleic and alpha linoleic acid by using Inca Inchi Oil, a virgin oil from a plant of the Amazon jungle, packed full of the two essential unsaturated fatty acids that are used in the synthesis of the PGE3 prostaglandins which control the inflammatory response and help to reduce many inflammatory reactions from which the body suffers, including skin rashes and redness.

Inca Inchi Oil is 94% of unsaturated fatty acids: Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega 3) 45 – 50% ; Alpha-linoleic acid (Omega 6 Precursor) 35 – 40%; Palmitic acid 2 – 5%; Stearic acid 2- 4%.

The oil also inhibits 5-Alpha-Reductase (the enzyme that produces dihydrotestosterone, an androgenic hormone that is responsible for incresed sebum output), and blocks the androgen receptors.

• Cellular messengers communicate to your body that the skin is being sufficiently taken care of and is capable of monitoring an extreme inflammatory response that may end up killing healthy skin cells not only the bacteria and sebum that has turned into a foreign matter.

• Controls bacterial infections by indicating to your system to increase the production and release of the skin’s own natural antimicrobial peptides, which naturally defend skin making it an unwelcome place for bacteria, microbes and parasites.

Unblocks clogged pores with gentle enzymes and willow bark extract that dissolve or “digest” the plugs, and without harmful peeling and drying which can cause more pain to the skin. On the contrary, while moisturizing the skin deeply and triggering healthy skin regeneration, the removal of scars and the release of amino-acids that help rebuild damaged tissues quickly.

• Provides antioxidants that fight free radicals.

You have probably tried a number of over-the-counter skin products that focus on the symptoms of acne rather than the underlying biochemical causes.

While this may be okay for light acne, and may bring some immediate results, it is just a band-aid treatment. To prevent mild acne from worsening and progressing into more severe stages, it is necessary to treat the underlying causes of the problem.

The Root Causes of Acne Explained

There are a number of root causes of acne but most importantly researchers have discovered that the root biochemical cause of acne is not bacteria, but rather a non specific inflammatory response of our innate immune system to a stimulus.

The following scientific study helps explains the causes of acne:

Keratins and the Keratinocyte Activation Cycle – Journal of Investigative Dermatology (2001) 116, 633-640

“Your skin is studded with thousands of oil glands that produce sebum to lubricate and enhance the skin’s ability to perform as a protective barrier. Sebum within each gland is carried to the surface through ducts or pores. The highest density of oil glands is found on your face, especially at the nose, forehead and mid-cheek areas. The largest oil glands are found on the back and mid-chest. This explains in part why acne appears mostly on the face, chest and back.

Hormones play a role for testosterone (an androgen hormone) targets the skin and the sebaceous glands where sebum is produced. It combines with the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase to produce dihydrotestosterone, which stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce increased volumes of sebum.

Sebum is expelled into the follicular tube and out to the surface of the skin. If sebum flow is blocked the build-up of oil within the pore forms blemishes such as blackheads and whiteheads. Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) and other bacteria on the skin and within the follicles produce bacterial lipases (enzymes) that move into the follicle opening and convert sebum into free fatty acids of a type that irritates the follicle lining.

This irritation causes proliferation of keratin cells and cellular debris, which also blocks the follicle and traps P. acnes inside.

The P. acnes inside the blocked follicle breed and produce acne infections. Infections grow and irritate and inflame the skin and macrophage cells produce histamines that cause the skin to become red, puffy and sensitive or even itchy. This causes more follicle blockage and promotes more acne infections, inflamed red bumps or pustules. Some of these large sacs of oil may rupture leading to large red lumps or cyts (also called nodules).”

Best Natural Acne Treatment Cream

BIOSKINFORTE acne treatment cream addresses all aspects of the biochemical progression that cause acne and achieves control or a complete acne cure in over 85% of cases (For more severe cases where the bacterial infection has spread inside the dermis treatment under the supervision of a Doctor is recommended).

BIOSKINFORTE is a acne treatment cream that not only eradicates P. acnes and a variety of other undesirable bacteria that produce lipases. It also provides an all natural serum packed with glyco-conjugated molecules and soluble protein enzymes that orchestrate skin repair as well as signaling to the immune system that the area is being taken care of and thus there is no need to respond with an inflammatory reaction.

The product also supplies linoleic acids directly to the areas which are lacking in these essential fatty acids.

An active ingredients in the acne treatment cream is also small amounts of willow bark extract. They work to keep the follicles open and soften the keratin plugs. Willow bark is a ecological form of salicylic acid that has none of the damaging results of synthetic salicylic acid that is used in many acne treatments.

What is Acne and Why Do I Have It?

Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder of the skin’s sebaceous glands and hair follicles and occurs when the cells lining the sebum canals are injured or when follicles or pores are blocked or clogged by sebum (oil) and dead cells mixed together. It show as pimples or zits and deeper skin pustules.

If acne breakouts becomes severe and bacterial infection proliferates inside the sebum canals you get acne cysts and those can leave permanent acne scars. Scarring is what you want to avoid. Stop popping those zits yourself and read this!

Acne infection destroys collagen and elastin fibers, severs the micro-vascular system and damages and kills cells. When healing occurs, normally after a long time if acne injuries are not properly treated, a scar is left in the skin. The normal functional tissue (skin) is replaced by connective tissue (scar).

Acne breakouts start during puberty and produce multiple skin injuries (inflammatory infections) that place heavy demands upon the skin’s components. Areas with recurrent acne infection caused by moderate or severe acne frequently develop deficiencies of essential ingredients, impairing the skin’s ability to defend itself and heal efficiently.

Who Gets Acne?
Acne affects about 80% of people between the ages of 12 and 24. During puberty high levels of hormones are produced in both girls and boys. This leads to the production of large quantities of sebum. Sebum is an irritant that can clog the pores and form a pimple which may become infected and form a cyst or a pustule. Hormones don’t go away after adolescence. Many women still get premenstrual acne from the release of progesterone after ovulation.

Acne Causes
The sebaceous glands located in each hair follicle produce oil that lubricates the skin and keeps it soft. Sebaceous glands are found in large numbers on the face, back, chest and shoulders. If this oil becomes trapped, bacteria multiply in the follicles and the inside lining of the follicle is injured and becomes inflamed.

Acne is NOT triggered by dirty pores but most likely by over active oil glands. The excess oil makes the pores sticky allowing bacteria to become trapped inside. Blackheads form when sebum combines with skin pigment and plug the pores. If scales below the surface of the skin become filled with sebum “white heads”appear.

Dirt, dust, oils and pollution can clog pores too. Eliminate this problem by washing your skin with an oil-free acne wash. In severe cases white heads build up, spread under the skin and rupture, which eventually spreads the inflammation.

Factors that contribute to acne include heredity, oily skin and hormones. Other factors that contribute to acne are allergies, stress, the menstrual cycle, nutritional deficiencies, over-washing and repeated rubbing of the skin.

Acne Types
Though pimples all start the same way, they may react differently for different people and can take many forms. All acne begins with one basic lesion: The comedo, an enlarged hair follicle plugged with oil and bacteria. Invisible to your eyes, the comedo lurks beneath the surface of your skin waiting for the right conditions to grow into an inflamed lesion. As the skin continues to produce more oil, bacteria flourishes within the swollen follicle. The surrounding skin becomes increasingly inflamed as your white blood cells fight against the intruders.

NON-INFLAMMATORY ACNE

Closed comedones, or whiteheads. If the plugged follicle stays below the surface of the skin, the lesion is called a closed comedo, or whitehead. They usually appear on the skin as small, whitish bumps.

Open comedones, or blackheads. If the plug enlarges and pushes through the surface of the skin, it’s called an open comedo, or blackhead. The plug’s dark appearance is not due to dirt, but rather to a buildup of melanin, the skin’s dark pigment.

INFLAMMATORY ACNE

Papules. The mildest form of inflammatory acne is called a papule, which appears on the skin as a small, firm pink bump. They can be tender to the touch, and are often considered an intermediary step between non-inflammatory and clearly inflammatory skin lesions.

Pustules. Like papules, pustules are small round lesions; unlike papules, they are clearly inflamed and contain visible pus. They may appear red at the base, with a yellowish or whitish center. Pustules do not commonly contain a great deal of bacteria; the inflammation is generally caused by chemical irritation from sebum components such as free fatty acids.

Nodules or Cysts. Large and usually very painful, a nodule is an inflamed, pus-filled lesion lodged deep within the skin. Nodules develop when the contents of a comedo have spilled into the surrounding skin and the local immune system responds, producing pus. The most severe form of acne lesion, nodules may persist for weeks or months, their contents hardening into a deep cyst. Both nodules and cysts often leave deep scars.

Acne conglobata. This rare but serious form of inflammatory acne develops primarily on the back, buttocks and chest. In addition to the presence of pustules and nodules, there may be severe bacterial infection.

Some lesions which appear to be acne are not acne at all. One skin condition that resembles acne is folliculitis, which occurs when the hair follicles become infected and inflamed. Folliculitis can be treated with BIOSKINCARE..

What To Do About Zits?

IMPORTANT: NEVER pop or squeeze a pimple or rub a lesion yourself. You don’t have the sterile instruments that a dermatologist uses to do this and he/she knows the proper technique. This can give you lifelong scars! (see the section below about “Seeing a Dermatologist”), but read the rest of this first please.

Wash your hands before and after caring for skin lesions to reduce the chance of infection. Don’t rest your face on your hands. This irritates the skin of the face. Identify and avoid anything that aggravates acne. This may include foods, lotions and make-up. Avoid comedogenic cosmetics, those which can aggravate acne.

How to get rid of acne
Once you’ve cleaned your skin, it’s time to work on fighting pimples before they start. Pimples begin when oil and dead skin cells get trapped in pores. So you’ve got to use products that work inside the pores to help keep them clear. The key is regular daily usage even when your skin looks great. Only using this stuff when you get a pimple won’t do your face justice.

Doctors and companies selling chemical products for acne will tell your there is no single medicine or acne treatment. They add that treatment should be designed according to your own personal skin type and its needs. The will also tell you that the only way to know for sure which product will work best for your skin is to try it. And they may remind you that no matter what you use the most important thing is to stick with it. We do not agree and thus we invite you to ponder a different perspective on how to get rid of acne.

Acne Treatment Products for Mild, Moderate Back Acne, and Severe Acne

Current acne treatment products target acne bacteria as if it where the main culprit but killing acne bacteria can’t cure acne because it is NOT the root cause of acne. However, bacteria reproduces uncontrolled when acne lesions occur so they must be reduced.

FIRST CRUSH THE SOURCE OF ACNE LESIONS, THEN THE SYMPTOMS!

The acne process and its resolutions is like this:

Lesions to the Living Cells lining the Sebum Canals are caused by 3 factors:

- The shear forces of sebum output. Which can only be addressed wisely by safely inhibiting sebum production, not by impairing it with harsh acne drugs.

- The hardened sebum inside follicles due to depletion of linoleic oil within the sebum glands. Which only the supply of unsaturated fatty acids can liquefy.

- The mixture of oils with dead cells blocking the pores. Which only enzymes can properly dissolve.

Our system reacts with an immoderate inflammatory reaction when lesions like this occur. This can only be addressed by supporting the innate immune system at the site of skin lesions, which in turn, controls bacteria and calms irritated skin.

Final resolution can only be achieved by repairing those acne lesions, while averting the risk of acne scarring, getting rid of damaged cells, and releasing their amino-acids to regenerate skin structures and regenerate the capacity of healthy skin to remain properly hydrated.
