• Micronized Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO)
Benzoyl peroxide is a cornerstone in acne treatment, renowned for its remarkable antibacterial properties. It effectively targets and eradicates Propionibacterium acnes , the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts. Utilizing micronized BPO in this serum ensures deeper and more consistent penetration into the pores, enhancing its efficacy while minimizing potential irritation. The outcome is clearer, smoother skin with reduced inflammation and fewer breakouts.
• Sulfur: Nature's Acne Fighter
Sulfur has been utilized for centuries as a natural remedy for various skin conditions. In this serum, sulfur plays a pivotal role in combating acne by reducing excess oil and promoting the shedding of dead skin cells. Its keratolytic properties effectively unclog pores and prevent the formation of new blemishes. Additionally, sulfur's mild antiseptic qualities help maintain clear skin, making it an excellent complement to BPO.
• Ceramides AP, NP, and EOP: The Barrier Builders
Ceramides are lipids naturally found in the skin's barrier, essential for maintaining hydration, integrity, and overall skin health. This serum features three types of ceramides—AP (acyl phytosphingosine), NP (non-hydroxy fatty acid phytosphingosine), and EOP (esterified omega hydroxy fatty acid phytosphingosine). Each ceramide contributes uniquely to reinforcing the skin barrier:
• Ceramide AP : Stabilizes and maintains the skin's natural barrier function, ensuring optimal hydration.
• Ceramide NP : Enhances the skin's resilience and prevents moisture loss, crucial for overall skin health.
• Ceramide EOP : Works synergistically with other ceramides to strengthen the lipid barrier, providing robust defense against environmental aggressors.
Overall, ceramides diligently repair and reinforce the skin barrier, enhancing hydration and resilience. This multifaceted approach not only treats existing acne but also prevents future breakouts, all while maintaining skin health and balance.
