DERMAdoctor Ainīt Misbehavinī Medicated Acne Control Serum helps address all the factors that contribute to the formation of acne.
Birth of a Blemish- Keratinization (sticky cells). Acne is a disorder of keratinization, in which the surface of the cells lining the sebaceous gland is sticky, resulting in them clumping together beneath the surface of the skin rather than being eliminated through daily natural exfoliation. As the plug deep within the pore enlarges and it reaches the surface of the skin, contact with air leads to oxidation - the end result is a visible blackhead.
- Hormonal Triggering of Oil Production. In the meantime, the sebaceous glands have triggered DHT, the active metabolite of the hormone testosterone (and in women as progesterone), and continue to make lots of oil.
- Bacteria. Proprionobacterium acnes (P. acnes), the bacteria that live within the sebaceous glands, thrive in this environment. Lack of air and lots of sebum (oil) nourishes the bacteria, allowing them to flourish.
- Inflammation. P. acnes produce a chemical which triggers white blood cells to swarm into the area. Inflammation occurs. The result - white heads and small red acne papules.
Ultimately, a combination of persistent plugging, excessive oil build-up (envision an expanding water balloon) and inflammation produced by bacterial over growth cause the gland to rupture. On the surface, this manifests itself as an inflamed acne papule or cyst.
Intervening at several points along this pathway speeds up acne clearing and maximizes overall results.
