✨Let's talk acne.✨
Acne can be difficult to treat because there is not just one cause. It can be
1. Fungal
2. Bacterial
3. Hormonal
4. Inflammatory
5. Open or closed comedones
6. Combination
Many of the skin care products that are used to treat acne can cause excessive dryness and break down the skin barrier. This does not mean the medication is ineffective, but a weak skin barrier can make things worse. This is especially true with inflammation or inflammatory acne.
When the skin barrier is compromised it can lead to even more inflammation, as well as bacterial and/or fungal infection. It can also cause overall facial redness and discomfort.
This is where Epicutis shines!
When used as a base for skincare, it is very effective at restoring the skin barrier! It is gentle and can be used with other products.
