Skin Concern: Blemish-prone
skin.
DERMAdoctor Solution: Unlike any acne treatment
previously available, Ain’t Misbehavin’ Acne Control Serum
effectively targets all 5 points of blemish development.
Medicated treatment serum disrupts acne’s formation by
exfoliating pore plugging debris, curbing bacteria
production, absorbing excess skin oils and calming
inflammation and irritation.

Acne is not due to a single event but the result of
many steps gone “wrong.” Intervening at multiple points
along this pathway allows this serum to produce a medically
superior clinical result and speeds up clearing.
Birth Of A Blemish:
Keratinization (sticky cells). Acne is a disorder of
keratinization, in which the surface of the cells lining the
sebaceous gland is sticky, resulting in them clumping
together beneath the surface of the skin rather than being
eliminated through daily natural exfoliation. As the plug
deep within the pore enlarges and it reaches the surface of
the skin, contact with air leads to oxidation – the end
result is a visible blackhead.
Hormonal Triggering of Oil Production. In the
meantime, the sebaceous glands have triggered DHT, the
active metabolite of the hormone testosterone (and in women
originating as progesterone), and continue to make lots of
oil.
Bacteria. Proprionobacterium acnes (P. acnes), the
bacteria that live within the sebaceous glands, thrive in
this environment. Lack of air and lots of sebum (oil)
nourishes the bacteria, allowing them to flourish.
Inflammation. P. acnes produce a chemical which
triggers white blood cells to swarm into the area.
Inflammation occurs. The result – white heads and small red
acne papules.
Ultimately, a combination of persistent plugging, excessive
oil build-up (envision an expanding water balloon) and
inflammation produced by bacterial over growth cause the
gland to rupture. On the surface, this manifests itself as
an inflamed acne papule or cyst.
Intervening at several points along this pathway speeds up
acne clearing and maximizes overall results. |
