Again, you can not blame your body for producing large amounts of sebum. The problem is mostly how it reacts to injury inflicted to the cells that line the sebum canals, when the canals become overcharged with sebum pressing to outflow to the surface —where it belongs—, or when they are not able to reach the skin surface because of clogged pores and pinched-off sebum glands.

Okay! You may address very oily skin and clogged pores with an acne cleansing lotion, for a while, and until your skin is back in balance. And you might as well consider changing some of your nutritional habits to avoid sebum canals pinched-off by the pressure of excess moisture attracted by toxins discharged within your dermis by your lymphatic system, as you will learn from the hints and tips on how to detoxify your skin and about the connection between adult acne and dairy products or acne and diet that we will email to you once you order BIOSKINFORTE.

Modulating the inflammatory response is the recipe for success! Cool down guys (immune cells), past are the times when bacteria and other micro-organism ruled. Or is it just wishful thinking? Is it not true that we carry on and inside our body three times more bacteria than the number of cells our organism is made of?

Fact is our body is ingrained with the memories of past battles, fought to protect our system whenever damaged or injured and does not listen to just any argument made up by the pharmaceutical or cosmetic companies that sell anti acne products aiming to control bacteria.

During our evolutionary drift, injuries and wounds represented a serious threat to our organism, not only due to blood loss, but also due to tissue damage or infection from the invasion of foreign bodies such as dirt, splinters and bacteria. The adult wound healing mechanism that evolved to respond to this threat has two fundamental characteristics: First, there is a rapid and robust inflammatory response, with recruitment of activated macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes to the injured site; and second, there is a fibrotic "walling-off" response to isolate the foreign body, with liquefaction of adjacent tissue leading to abscess formation and scarring.

In fact acne lesions are in this respect similar to any skin injury. Our system responds with the same strong inflammatory knee-jerk to the sebum that is supposed to outflow to the surface of the skin but remains trapped within the hair follicles as if it where a foreign body; or when sebum production is exacerbated and the first flow of sebum through the previously empty duct creates shear forces of sufficient magnitude that injure the walls of the sebum canals or the pilosebaseous glands.

Inflammation exacerbates when acne bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) and other deliriously happy bacteria always present on the surface of the skin (Staphylococcus aureus, Staph. epidermidis, diphtheroids, streptococci, Candida, etc) start to proliferate uncontrolled in skin punctured or broken. The problem is magnified if right there the deliciously rich feeding fatty sebum is plenty.

BIOSKINFORTE supports the immune system by providing enzymes that restore skin's balance and by supplying molecules that act to enhance inter and intra-cellular communication. It also signals the immune system that the area is being taken care of and need not react with an inflammatory cascade.
