EltaMD Acne Regime Knocks Out the Pimples! |
The anti-inflammatory provisions of
Niacinamide ( vitamin B3
) reduces dryness, irritation and redness caused by bacteria in clogged
pores or simply the dreaded pimple. Studies have shown that Niacinamide
diminishes the sebum excretion rate or ( SER ). SER is the amount of oil
sebaceous glands produce. The result is a reduction in clogged pores,
therefore a reduction in whiteheads and blackheads.
Niacinamide is also a
temperate keratolytic that promotes mild exfoliation which prevents
pore blockage.
A protocol chock full of
Niacinamide is
EltaMD AM,
EltaMD UV Clear
and
EltaMD PM. EltaMD AM Therapy , the morning moisturizer contains
willow bark that stimulates cell turnover and of course Niacinamide that
we know combats acne. EltaMD PM Therapy moisturizes, repairs and
restores skin while sleeping. Ceramides , Niacinamide and antioxidants
improve skin tone, elasticity, color and speed the nightly skin repair
process.
EltaMD UV Clear helps soothe sensitive skin types susceptible to
breakouts,
rosacea and
hyperpigmentation. UV Clear contains hyaluronic
acid, lactic acid and of course Niacinamide . In one clinical study 82%
of people with inflammatory acne showed a marked improvement using
Niacinamide topically for eight weeks. In addition 60% had a reduction
in papules and pustules and 52% in mild acne. An added bonus is the 9%
transparent micronized zinc oxide which protects skin against
UVA ( aging ) and UVB ( burning ) rays. This sunscreen is ideal for outdoor
activities. I use it poolside , that and a stiff martini.....remember to
re-apply.
The daily use of these three products along with an efficient cleanser is a superb acne regime.
