Acne Treatment & Healing Acne Scars

Light to Moderate: Cystic Acne and Acne Vulgaris

You have probably tried a number of over-the-counter products without success and possibly an antibiotic. Most antibiotics work by killing propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) but approximately 30%-45% of today's P. acnes strains are resistant to one or more of the more common antibiotics, making them useless. Additionally long-term use of antibiotics is associated with increased cancer risks. Over-the-counter products focus on the symptoms of acne rather than the biochemical causes of acne. While this may be okay for light acne, it won't prevent light acne from progressing into the moderate to severe stages.

Biochemically Speaking, Acne Is Easy to Understand: Testosterone (an androgen hormone) targets the skin and the sebaceous glands where sebum is produced. It combines with the enzyme 5alpha-reductase to produce dihydrotestosterone, which stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce increased volumes of sebum. Sebum is expelled out into the follicular tube.

Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) and other bacteria on the skin and within the follicles produce bacterial lipases (enzymes) that move into the follicle opening and convert sebum into free fatty acids, which irritate the follicle lining. This irritation causes excessive production of cells and cellular debris, which block the follicle and trap P. acnes inside. The P. acnes inside the blocked follicle breed and produce acne infections. Infections grow and irritate and inflame the skin and macrophage cells produce histamines that cause the skin to become red, puffy and sensitive or even itchy. This causes more follicle blockage and promotes more acne infections.

Most acne products attempt to kill P. acnes with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, and keep the follicles open with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and glycolic acid. They do not address the other issues that cause acne. Benzoyl peroxide can cause premature skin aging, slow healing and is associated with increased skin cancer risks. In 1995 the FDA issued warnings regarding the use of benzoyl peroxide and changed its status from safe to uncertain.

GLYCOBALM for Acne: GLYCOBALM kills P. acnes and a variety of other undesirable bacteria that produce lipases. .... The products also keeps follicles open ... products block 5alpha-reductase and thereby reduce dihydrotestosterone. This reduces sebum production. The products very significantly reduce bacterial lipases by removing a variety of undesirable bacteria, and thereby reduce the production of free fatty acids that promote follicle blockage. The product blocks the production of histamines with ---- to prevent additional histamine-induced acne. GLYCOBALM addresses all aspects of the biochemical progression that cause acne and achieve control or a complete acne cure in over 80% of cases.

GLYCOBALM's high rate of success comes from its comprehensive approach of treating the multiple causes of acne, rather that focusing on the symptom like most other over-the-counter products. The dermatologist and biochemist who develop GLYCOBALM have a clear understanding of the skin biochemistry involved with acne and the natural plant extracts that will correct this skin chemistry and provide an effective acne cure.

More Biochemistry: Linoleic acid is a normal component of sebum. It is an "essential fatty acid" required by the body and you may be more familiar with this bio-chemical as omega oil, fish oil, safflower oil (as contained in Green Tea Poultice) or a number of other terms. Essential fatty acids are very powerful anti-inflammatory agents and sebum made with linoleic acid is calming to the skin. Modern foods have avoided these essential oils in favor of "designer" lipids like trans-fatty acids and research has found links suggesting trans-fats may break down the body's supply of essential fatty acids. When linoleic acid is not available in the skin, the sebaceous gland produces sebum with oleic acid and this form of sebum is irritating to the skin and promotes acne. It has been suggested that oleic acid sebum is drier, firmer and more prone to cause blackheads, whiteheads and promote follicular plugs that lead to acne infections.

People with very dry skin and continual follicle blockage (blackheads, whiteheads and/or acne) may benefit from increasing their consumption of foods rich in linoleic acid/omega oils or taking supplements such as flax seed oil. Do NOT take flax seed supplements if pregnant or nursing.

GLYCOBALM is a balm that absorbs quickly and is made from a complex gathered from live creatures (Chilean Snails, without any harm to them). The natural complex is a complex compound that combines natural antibiotic peptides that fight acne infection, bio-available skin regenerating peptides that vanish red marks and prevent and repair scars, and enzymes that digest damaged cells and open clogged pores and natural humectants that restore the natural moisturizing capacity of a healthy skin.

The natural antibiotic action of GLYCOBALM is effective against skin infections and without the pitfalls of pharmaceutical antibiotics or the side effects of harsh chemicals.

Mild and moderate acne can also be addressed with a more holistic approach, and if GLYCOBALM does not work for you in a few days (7-10 days), instead of endlessly searching for a product that just might work for you, the following procedure will benefit your skin condition

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 your diet, 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, halt inflammation and repair acne scarring.

Severe acne
GLYCOBALM works for most people and it also works for severe acne when used in conjunction with prescription systemic (oral) antibiotics or retinoids (accutane) and a proper diet.

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 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 (click here)

Why is GLYCOBALM a wise solution for acne?
Our skin has a reputation of being a barrier to exterior environment by not letting complexs 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 80% the SNAIL "Helix Aspersa Muller's" biological secretions and only contains biological ingredients that are compatible and match up to what is already in the skin. Your skin will recognize these complexs 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, biological, non-allergenic balm. It does not contain colorings nor odorizers; it is non-greasy and has a rapid absorption. Can be used by children and on any skin condition under no risk.

The secret of GLYCOBALM™ is not only that it provides the normal ingredients which may be deficient in the skin, but also restores the skin renewal process by stimulating the germinal cells. The result is a healthier appearance of the skin with more thickness, a normal skin color, normal skin texture and normal skin tissue turgor.

What our customers say: "I bought this product for my 18 year old niece in the hope that it would improve her complexion as she suffers very badly from scarring (and cystic acne). She is a very pretty girl and this condition really hurts her and consequently it hurts her very large extended family. She has asked me for the web address to order more as she has found that it has helped her complexion, therefore I am more than happy to buy her some more in the hope that it continues to give her some relief."

This acne cream yields what no other natural acne product does for recurrent stubborn acne and acne cysts because of the synergistic benefit of combining our biological serum with the most potent botanicals:

a) Inca Inchi Oil the richest vegetable oil in Omega-3 fatty acids. A powerful anti-inflammatory and with the ability to correct the deficit of linoleic acid in hair follicles which is a trigger of immoderate inflammatory reactions from our immune system. The oil is also a factor that reduces sebum output;

b) Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates, the miraculous serum, from a living creature with skin similar to human skin who never suffers from skin infections and acts as an effective adaptogen, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, trigger of skin repair and skin regeneration, and enzyme dissolver of blocked pores;

c) Licorice Root Extract (*) an antimicrobial with potent activity against acne bacteria, anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, antioxidant, and an inhibitor of sebum production;

d) Alpine Willow herb extract (Epilobium Fleischeri) a botanical source of keratolytic salicylic acid in a natural form, and an antimicrobial;

e) Essential oil from the roots of Coleus Forskohlii with strong antimicrobial activity and a strong medicinal smell that you might not appreciate for about 20 minutes until it fades away.

The smell is a small price you pay for an "essential" component of BIOSKINFORTE for it activates many of your more than 10 million olfactory receptor neurones. But its nothing = "nada" when compared to the value you get: the strongest remedy that effectively heals and contains acne breakouts without any side effects on your body or skin. You always have the choice to behave as if you were a warrior and just use the product without previously messing with your nose inside the jar.

Abstract: Licochalcone-A, Polyol Soluble Licorice Extract P-U (now in the market as Licochalcone LR-15), prepared from the roots of Glycyrrhiza Inflata Batalin shows several activities such as inhibitory actions of testosterone 5 ALPHA-reductase, lipase and phospholipase A2, as well as androgen receptor antagonist, antimicrobial and SOD-like antioxidant actions, which relate to skin care, especially the suppression of acne formation and development. On basis of this evidence, a trial with acne patients was carried out and the efficacy of the extract was demonstrated clinically.
