There are increasing number of our customers who have to put up with acne problem. There are many brands of formulatoins all claiming to help in getting rid of it. There was a good write up in BBC by Felicity Morse that drew attention to the acne problem being faced by women due to many factors.
She points out that
acne is not taken seriously enough despite the bullying and stigma people face.
James Partridge,
founder and chief executive of charity Changing
Faces, says attitudes desperately need challenging. "We need to show
respect, help people cope, not belittle and stigmatise. "Every year there
are instances of suicide due to people's distress around acne," says
James. "Self harm is also very common." Because it's not life
threatening, money and research is going into other areas, the British Skin
Foundation argues.
Spokesperson and Consultant Dermatologist Dr
Anjali Mahto tells Newsbeat: "The anxiety skin disease creates often gets
neglected. "Because it's not going to kill you, it falls at the bottom of
a list of what needs to be done."
The psychological impact of acne can last
beyond the spots themselves. "If you've grown up with the mindset you're a
spotty teenager, the negative body image can stay with you for many years
afterwards," she says.
Dr Anjali Mahto says it's important people
seek help if they are struggling. "If acne is causing problems with self
confidence, anxiety, depression, if it's stopping you doing anything you want
to, then you should get medical help."
At Herbally Radiant we have seen
many cosmetic companies announcing “new” products for relief from acne and
similar skin disorders. In their aggressive marketing campaigns, they are
making claims of 52% success over 4-6 weeks. The global acne products market is
presently estimated to reach $3.02 bn next year.
Since Herbally Radiant had
experimented with many natural organic ingredients before launching its CLEAN
range (cleanser, toner, serum and scrub) to address the problems of acne,
pimples, spots and irritations, its R&D team went deeper to examine the
safety of ingredients of new products being launched with the claim of “52%
success”.
Among the key ingredients of the new
pharma-based products, offering “guaranteed relief”, it was noticed that they
contain 2.5% active benzoyl peroxide and 0.5% salicylic acid. With our long
experience and expertise in natural organic beauty formulations, we know that
sensitive skin needs more delicate treatment. Strong chemical ingredients can
aggravate the problem.
Main acne factors are : oil
production, dead skin cells, clogged pores, bacteria and hormonal
imbalance. Acne typically appears on
face, neck, chest, back and shoulders that have most oil (sebaceous) glands.
Acne occurs when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.
Hair follicles are connected to oil
glands. These glands secrete an oily substance (sebum) to lubricate your hair
and skin. Sebum normally travels along the hair shafts and through the openings
of the hair follicles onto the surface of our skin. When body produces excess
amount of sebum and dead skin cells, the two can build up in hair follicles,
and form a soft plug, creating an environment where bacteria can thrive. If the
clogged pore becomes infected with bacteria, inflammation results.
The plugged pore may cause the
follicle wall to bulge and produce a whitehead. Or the plug may be open to the
surface and may darken, causing a blackhead. A blackhead may look like dirt
stuck in pores. But actually the pore is congested with bacteria and oil, which
turns brown when it's exposed to the air. The pimples are raised red spots with
a white center that develop when blocked hair follicles become inflamed or
infected. Blockages and inflammation that develop deep inside hair follicles
produce cyst-like lumps beneath the surface of your skin.
Herbally
Radiant R&D team tested different powerful natural ingredients to create
safest skin-friendly products for lasting relief. After perfecting the best
combination of these, it launched its most popular range: CLEAN – Cleanser,
Toner, Serum and Scrub. Aloe vera based, CLEAN products contain witch hazel,
cranberry extract, black willow bark, glycolic acid, billberry, activated
charcoal, vegetable glycerin, orange-lemon extract, roman chamomile, rosemary,
Pro-Vitamin B5, rooibos tree extract together with essential oils like tea
tree, neem, jojoba and avocado. When applied regularly, these ingredients
inhibit inflammation and bacterial proliferation, keeping skin comfortable all
day long, while gently working on skin.
The CLEAN serum is a powerful formulation, 100% natural, pure and
effective. This fast absorbing and non-greasy serum works as a booster to
support and treat the skin from within, delivering the highest potency of
anti-oxidants and oils, thereby rejuvenating, hydrating and brightening the
