Re(1): Adult Acne

Posted on August 4, 2008 at 08:52:54 PM by Kenrico Support
Hi Julie,

The area of your face and neck may produce a lot of dead cells and oils. When the dead cells and oils (sebum) get trapped inside the pores, they become inflammed and infected due to the bacteria (Propionibacteria acnes) and causes acne.

Stress also increases sebum production and can make existing acne worse.

To help prevent the oil buildup that can contribute to acne, wash your face gently twice a day with a mild soap and warm water. Prevent scrubbing your face hard with a washcloth because scrubbing can make it worse by irritating the skin and pores.

Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid is normally used for acne treatment, but they provide temporary relief and in some cases, it may cause the acne to worsen.

Ion showerhead can certainly help. Tap water contains hard water and chlorine causes skin to break out slowly over time and is known to cause acne to become worse.

The silver edition pad (AG), special edition pad (CC) and enhanced grapefruit pad (TG-1) are the pads used to treat acne. If the bacteria count is very high (Propionibacteria acnes), we recommend adding the blue edition pad (FX-2) into the treatment process due to its high antiseptic property. Please alternate the use between AG, CC and TG-1, and make sure to use the FX-2 pads during bedtime.

All the best,
Kenrico Support
