Acne Prone Skin

Acne-prone skin refers to a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the pilosebaceous unit.  The clinical manifestations involves the interaction of several host factors, including the stimulation of sebaceous glands, dysbiosis of the pilosebaceous follicle microbiome, and cellular immune responses. Other factors such as genetics and diet may also influence the development and progression of the skin condition.

The progression of microcomedones into other types of blemishes has been theorized to involve the following 4 primary events:

  • Increased sebum production (seborrhea)
  • Follicular hyperkeratinization
  • C acnes proliferation
  • Inflammation

Ageing Skin

Ageing can be seen as the accumulation of changes in cells and tissues as a result of alteration of intrinsic factors (like hormone processes, genetics) in conjunction with exposure to extrinsic factors (like UV radiation, pollution). They are responsible for structural and physiological changes of the skin that result in the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity amongst others. It is an innevitable process that affects people of all skin types and phototypes.

Chronic Redness

Chronic redness associates an inflammation. Features such as the expansion of blood vessels (vasodilation), increase in blood flow, capillary permeability, and migration of neutrophils into the affected tissue through the capillary wall are shown as well as clinical signs such as constant skin redness. It can be caused by multiple factors and affect people of all skin types.

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation of the skin is a common dermatological condition in which the color of the skin generally becomes darker. Skin pigmentation and coloration are governed by the processes involving the production of the skin pigment called melanin produced by melanocytes in various layers of skin. Thus, alterations in melanocyte production or distribution of melanin result in skin hyperpigmentation disorders.
