What is acne?
Acne is a skin problem characterized by skin eruptions on the face and can also appear on the neck, back, chest and shoulders. It affects most teenage boys and girls and to some degree and even adults. Acne shows as whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and deep painful bumps (nodules) that look like boils. It is estimated that as many as 80% of people between 12 and 25 years of age suffer from acne. While in most people acne clears up after a few years many suffer from permanent scarring of the skin.
What causes acne?
During adolescence rising hormone levels cause the sebaceous (oil) glands of the skin to become active. They are activated by male-type hormones found in both males and females. The sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance called sebum which empties onto the skin's surface through the hair follicles.
Acne is a complex condition that depends basically on excess sebum (oil) production that occurs when you are going through hormonal imbalances... (specially during adolescence or, if a woman, during your period...) in conjunction with toxins within your skin, due to the intake of excess protein of poor quality, resulting in either:
a) those toxins within the skin follicles attract water and create pressure as if the sebaceous glands where pinched off, resulting in a soft pliable lump within the hair follicle (knows as a cyst). The cyst is usually not painful or discolored unless it becomes infected by bacteria. Then it may become a deep painful bump (severe nodular cystic acne).
b) plugging of the opening of the hair follicles due to shedding of skin cells from the outer layer of the skin that stick to the sebum, resulting in whiteheads. Whiteheads turn into blackheads due to melanin deposition, a pigment in the skin.
Also, the mixture of oil and cells helps the bacteria, especially P. Acnes, to grow and become virulent. The increased pressure within the clogged follicle causes the wall of the follicle to become injured. As a result, sebum, bacteria and shed skin cells escape into the surrounding tissue, forming papules, pustules and nodules that can be large and painful. This usually heals within 8 weeks. Nodular acne can result in permanent scarring and become a severe health issue.
What type of acne do I have?
Acne can be mild, moderate or severe. Mild acne can appear as whiteheads and blackheads or even pimples. If you have moderate acne, you will see more pimples and pustules on your face, and possibly on your chest or back. In severe acne, you will see a lot of nodules, which are painful and large, on your face, chest, back and maybe on other areas of your body, too. It can lead to serious and permanent scarring. Even less severe cases can be followed by scarring. If you think you might have nodular acne, see your doctor right away!
Males generally have more severe acne than females because of their hormonal structure and they tend to develop acne on the back and chest. This type of acne is more often difficult to treat than facial acne.
Mild and moderate acne
Break outs will be milder and last a shorter time with the use of GLYCOBALM or other topical products (applied on the skin). Also scarring can be prevented or healed with GLYCOBALM for it is both a substance that triggers the regeneration of damaged tissues and a powerful natural antibiotic that fights acne bacteria within the skin follicles.
Severe acne
GLYCOBALM works for most people and it also works for severe acne when used in conjunction with systemic (oral) antibiotics or retinoids (accutane) and a proper diet. Severe acne can also be addressed with a more holistic approach, and if GLYCOBALM does not work for you in a few days (4-10 days) instead of starting an endless search for a topical product that will work the following procedure will benefit your skin condition
1) Go to a sauna to start with. 2) Shift your diet to get rid of toxins within your skin. 3) Apply GLYCOBALM twice a day on patted dry skin after washing it with lots of warm water.
Procedure:
1.- Go to a sauna and get into it for 15 minutes (not more not less), then shower. Then back to the sauna for another 15 minutes.. then shower. This helps your body to get rid of toxins within your skin. You can do this once or twice a month if you do not get addicted to such pleasures... and the clear results for your skin... specially if you also follow the next step:
2.- Shift the way you eat, and stick strictly to it for two weeks. Eat loads of fresh fruits and fresh salads including tomato, avocado and virgin olive oil, plus fresh Brazil nuts (shelled) and 50 grams each day of high quality bio-available proteins in the form of raw fish such as sashimi (fresh fish the Japanese way without the rice) or raw tuna fish (fresh not refrigerated or canned).
3. Apply GLYCOBALM twice a day to speed the process of getting rid of acne bacteria within your skin follicles and to repair acne scarring.
When should you start to treat your acne?
Since everyone gets acne at some time, there is no “correct” time to treat it. The best advice is to take action when you think it’s out of control. This can be when severe acne flares suddenly, mild acne that just won’t quit, or even when a single pimple decides to show up the week before your prom or wedding. The decision is yours.
What can you do about acne?
- Gently wash your face twice a day with a mild soap and pat dry.
- Apply GLYCOBALM BALM after washing your face.
- Avoid direct exposure to sun.
- If you are in outdoor sports, use non-irritating sun screen
- The ladies should choose water-base non-comedogenic cosmetics and avoid birth- control pills that contain androgenic progestogens such as norethisterone, norgestrol, norgestrienone, lynestrenol and medroxy progesterone acetate. Check with your doctor if the pill seems to be making acne worse.
- Avoid touching or squeezing the pimples with your hands.
- If your acne is moderate or severe follow the procedure to get rid of toxins described above

Why is GLYCOBALM a wise biological solution for acne breakouts, pimples and scars?
Our skin has a reputation of being a barrier to exterior environment by not letting substances such as cosmetic ingredients or airborne pollutants into it. The truth is that the skin acts as a filter to assess and determine the relationship – the user-friendliness, if you will – to the interior body itself. The skin is a very accommodating organ. It is built to adapt to the environment so it can help to keep us alive in any given climate. The most immediate environment to our skin is what we put on it topically. Yes, the skin care and cosmetics we select.
The skin's natural filtering system decides to accept or reject those products. Is it "skin-friendly" or is it toxic? The best accepted products are those that contain natural constituents - - - the skin's own ingredients.
GLYCOBALM is made with SNAIL "Helix Aspersa Muller's" natural secretions and only contains biological ingredients that are compatible and match up to what is already in the skin. Your skin will recognize these substances and will utilize them, bolstering your skin's ability to repair itself. And because the ingredients in GLYCOBALM are all skin bio-compatible, there is no risk of a sensitive/allergic reaction.
An organic, natural, non-allergenic cream. With no fragrance; non-greasy and has a rapid absorption. Can be used by children and on any skin condition under no risk.
What Does The FDA say about GLYCOBALM?
The FDA, of course, does not issue any statement approving or disapproving regarding a product or its use. However, there are no regulatory problems associated with the scientific facts concerning natural antibiotics and bio-available skin renewal activators applied to the skin.
GLYCOBALM BALM eliminates dead cells, inhibits the growth of bacteria, heals and regenerates damaged tissues. It moisturizes and nourishes your skin and protects it from the effects of free radicals. Improves the skin's elasticity, and leaves it silky soft and soothed.
