Struggling with adult acne?

Acne is a chronic and/or acute skin condition where the hair follicle becomes inflamed due to an over production of oil and naturally occurring bacteria. In many individuals, this over production is caused by abnormally high androgen hormone levels. Acne is usually found on the face, chest and back.

Adult acne on the rise

And you thought your teenage pimply faced days were behind you – WRONG – Acne isn’t just for teens. Many people have it as adults, so not only are you fighting the wrinkle but the pimple is back now too.

While acne may be nonexistent or dormant for years, certain factors—like stress, hormones, and diet—can eventually cause it to resurface. Studies have traced hormonal fluctuations.

Whether brought on by lifestyle (stress, diet), PMS, pregnancy, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the result is the same—an increase in cortisol (also known as the stress hormone), which gets broken down into testosterone, a male hormone that pumps excess oil through your pores.

"When your hormones are out of whack, your skin's oil production may go into overdrive, causing an acne flare-up.

Introducing: Dermalex Acne

As effective as benzoyl peroxide 5%, without the sun sensitivity

Dermalex Acne is a topical cream for the relief of mild and moderate acne. It is designed to reduce inflamed papules, pustules (pimples), whiteheads and blackheads.

Dermalex Acne exerts two synergetic activities that inhibit bacterial growth and colonisation. It forms an invisible shield on the skin that is both acidic and antiseptic. This creates an environment that inhibits bacterial growth (P.acnes) and acne formation. Dermalex Acne also contains natural ancillary ingredients that soothe, calm and clarify the skin, thereby reducing inflammation and redness.

Dermalex Repair Acne is clinically proven to reduce acne break-outs, restore the skin’s pH and protect the skin from secondary factors that could trigger or exacerbate acne.

Due to its excellent safety profile Dermalex Acne can be used without time or quantity limitations. It should be applied twice daily over the entire face, after a thorough cleaning. It does not stain clothing, colour the skin, or cause hypo-pigmentation.
