P8N8Bio Energized Acne Management



There are a number of myths around the cause of acne. Such as chocolate, chips, greasy food, unclean skin and even sexual activities. Equally there are remedy myths such as toothpaste being a good emergency treatment. While it may help some people, it is not a proven method of managing acne.

Acne explained
Acne is cause by an increase in sebum that is triggered by sensitivity to circulating testosterone, causing the formation of a tiny blockage (micro-comedone). The blockage comes from dead skin cells that proliferate and block the hair follicle surface. Bacteria 8211; usually present on people's skin 8211; thrives in this extra oily1 environment and can result in inflammation and redness resulting in a typical pus-filled spot. 2

Proven ingredients
Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl peroxide used on a regular basis are proven ingredients to avoid spots appearing in the first place though easily access products available in chemists and supermarkets will do very little for more inflamed, persistent acne and often is useless for even mild acne. 2
