Teenage Acne Treatment and Tips

Acne is a common problem and the most affected population is teenagers. Almost every teen in the world will experience at least one breakout of acne during their adolescence. The specific case and condition of acne depends on the individual, but most experience whiteheads, blackheads, and in more severe acne cases, cystic acne. In addition to facial acne, many teens will also experience body and back acne. Fortunately, many teenage acne treatments have been created to deal particularly with hormonal and adolescent acne.

Causes of Teenage Acne

Teenagers experience a period of puberty in which their bodies undergo a great change in hormone levels. Unstable hormones can create effects such as growth spurts, body hair, moodiness, as well as highly active glands. One of these glands, the sebaceous gland, produces sebum which is responsible for maintaining moisture in hair and skin. During adolescence these glands enlarge and produce more sebum under the influence of hormones. Higher levels of sebum and heightened activity in the glands create risks for the development of acne.

Acne starts within these sebum glands when damage is done to healthy living cells. Cells can be injured due to the force of sebum output, which is more common during periods of hormonal change. Injury is also common if sebum hardens within the follicle or where there is a buildup of oil and dead skin cells.

The body's immune system responds with an inflammatory reaction which irritates the skin and causes what we know as pimples. Another factor may be hereditary as it has been found that those whose parents suffered from teen acne, or currently suffer from adult acne, are at higher risk for developing teenage acne.

Teenage Acne Treatment

There are numerous teenage acne treatments that include over-the-counter topical acne creams, medical prescriptions, daily cleansers and toners, as well as a variety of natural skin care options. Unfortunately there is no answer to acne and skin care products always depend on the individual and how their skin responds to the treatment. However, advice for all is to know about the causes of acne in order to treat those rather than just the symptoms.

Severe medications are not necessary in treating teenage acne. In many cases, acne will improve naturally with the passing of puberty and balancing of hormone levels. Harsh treatments should be avoided as they may damage skin cells, something you will have to live with long after recovering from acne. Instead, an organic acne treatment cream is a better choice if you can find one that effectively addresses the root causes of acne and can treat them naturally.

Skin Friendly Diet

A smart diet can also aid in acne recovery. However, oily foods and a bad diet are not considerable risks in acne development as some might think. Heightened sebum secretion due to hormones is not related to what kinds of food you eat. Nevertheless, it is important to eat a healthy diet that has all the necessary vitamins and nutrients to keep your skin healthy.

Diet is important during adolescence as the body is growing and needs enough to do so healthily as well as maintain a strong immune system. Additionally, people who eat well balanced diets tend to be less stressed, which can help control sebum output and therefore acne condition.

BIOSKINFORTE is just one of many Biocutis acne skin care products that biologically targets and treats the root causes of teen acne to start healing and acne prevention from below the skin's surface.

BIOSKINFORTE contains the organic serum of Helix Aspersa Muller and other botanicals that can naturally inhibit sebum production and remove dead skin cells as well as support the immune system at the site of cell damage in order to control bacteria and soothe inflamed skin. Biologically comprehensive skin care makes BIOSKINFORTE the answer in dealing with blackheads, whiteheads, and cystic acne due to the hormonal changes of adolescence.

What our customers say: "I am quite impressed with the effectiveness of your product. It has been helpful in healing my acne scars and, although it doesn't completely prevent new flare-ups, it helps to speed up the healing process for many of my skin problems."

BIOSKINFORTE - Natural Acne Treatment Balm
A gentle yet powerful solution for acne breakouts and even stubborn acne cysts that have not been amenable to other treatments

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.

f) Hyaluronic Acid a glycosaminoglycan (also present in the snail serum) that deeply moisturizes the skin and restores the capacity of the skin to hold in water;

g) An extract from the fruit of black pepper which enhances the penetration of the active ingredients.

Apply a little of this acne cream twice a day on all the area affected by acne cysts or stubborn pimples (whole face, chest or back).

BIO ACNE CARE
Gentle but effective acne treatment serum for pimples & acne cysts, specially for those on the chest or back.

The product is oil free and contains the following ingredients that act in concert to yield benefits that go beyond the sum of those of their specific parts:

a) our biological Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates with antioxidant, antimicrobial & skin regeneration properties to heal skin lesions within the follicles, control acne bacteria and prevent and get rid of acne scars;

b) the active extract of the bark of the Black willow ( Salix Nigra) tree to enhance cell renewal on the surface of the skin, unclog pores and reduce acneic skin flora (Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus). The actual content of willow (Salix Nigra) extract expressed as standarized salicylic acid is less than 0.5%. The Salix Nigra extract also provides natural B-hydroxy acid activity, without the skin irritation commonly associated with synthetic salicylic acid;

c) modified glucomannan (carbohydrate) -high molecular weight heterpolysaccharides made up of glucose and mannose derived from the Japanese Konjac tuber (root)- that reduce the surface tension of oil and facilitates its dispersion into droplets. These droplets get distributed evenly along the skin’s surface, minimizing their presence and oily feel;

d) Hyaluronic Acid a glycosaminoglycan (also present in the snail serum) to deeply moisturize the skin and restore the capacity of the skin to hold in moisture; and seaweed extracts that provide moisture and trace minerals necessary for the recovery of damaged skin cells; and sodium salt of pyroglutamic acid (naturally in human skin) moisturizer;

e) Japanese Licochalcone LR-15 from Licorice (Glycyrrhiza inflate) extract which clinicals (*) in Japan have shown that at very low concentration reduces undesired p. acnes and other acneic skin flora, is anti-irritating, anti-inflammatory and reduces sebum output. 

Apply a thin layer twice a day on all the area affected with acne (whole face, chest or back) and then always use sun protection.  If you are allergic to salycilic acid or to aspirin do not use the product and if you experience stinging or irritation (very unlikely) you must stop using the product and consult your physician.

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.
