Acne & Blackheads: Acne Causes and Treatment
Normal manifestations of common acne are blackheads, which like most acne, arise in the face and in people of all ages. Also known as open comedones, blackheads are wide-open pores not yet inflamed that have been clogged by sebum and keratin. Due to these openings and their subsequent access to air, the material clogged within the follicle oxidizes, forming tiny blackish dots on the surface of the skin. Whiteheads, on the other hand, occur in follicles that have a smaller opening. As the plugged material inside is not accessible by air, it stays its whitish color.
Blackheads differ from other types of pimples in that they are usually very tiny and do not become inflamed. Blackheads can arise in any area of the skin with follicles. They are most commonly found on the face and arms. Although small in size, if ignored, blackheads can turn into severe forms of acne and result in unappealing scars.
How Do Blackheads and Other Phases of Acne Form?
Blackheads form through a similar process as other pimples. A normal functioning sebaceous gland produces the oil sebum, which makes its way to the surface of the skin through the sebaceous duct. However, sometimes sebum hardens or mixes with debris and/or skin cells and clogs the pore.
A blackhead becomes noticeable to us as a blackhead when the clogging material oxidizes with air, turning it black. Should the duct become damaged or become inflamed, it is considered a pimple or, if more severe, an acne cyst.
The leading cause of acne breakouts is injury to the sebaceous ducts. During periods of teen acne (puberty) or adult acne (most likely caused by stress), androgen levels are high, fueling sebum production and release. The power at which sebum travels through the sebum ducts literally causes injury to the cells lining them.
The state of sebum can further damage the follicle. If the body is deficient in linoleic acid, the glands make a harder oil that is more harsh on the cells lining the canal.
Lastly, the sebum that is trapped beneath a clog is forced to amass within the follicle, forcing it to distend and become further inflamed.
The body responds as it does to all other bodily injuries and sends lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils to the site of the damage for healing. These immune system cells, in the process of recognizing and engulfing antigens, cause the inflammation we call acne. Severe cystic acne can therefore appear without infection. It is when cystic acne becomes infected that abscesses form, which also result in acne scarring.
Treating from the Inside: Acne and Blackhead Removal
In order to prevent the formation of blackheads, one needs to address acne from the inside in addition to the outside by managing sebum output and its state, plus excess levels of dead skin and bacteria.
Although exfoliation to clear away excess pore-clogging skin is suitable for blackhead treatment, it may irritate the skin and other lesions, causing inflammation and more acne problems. To protect against such irritation, one must find a solution appropriate for treatment of all acne lesions: blackheads, whiteheads, papules and pustules.
Most blackhead-specific as well as some acne treatments only focus on the un-clogging of pores. They use harsh chemicals like benzoyl peroxide that dry and cause free radicals that literally damage the skin to unblock clogged pores and eliminate follicle-plugging keratin.
Solve your acne troubles by focusing on the inside by using a facial acne treatment that manages sebaceous gland activity naturally. Prescription sebum inhibitors have extreme side effects, which include almost unbearably dry skin, chapped lips, nose bleeds, eye irritation and birth defects.
Licorice root extract is a natural inhibitor of androgen, the hormones linked to sebum activity. Once sebum manufacture and distribution is controlled, you prevent the primary cause of acne - damage and therefore inflammation to the sebaceous ducts.
By consuming one's daily intake of essential fatty acids, one can maintain healthy sebum that is less likely to irritate or plug skin follicles.
Employing the tricks of acne home remedies will get to the root of your acne problem. Focus on the causes and not the symptoms.
Treat your acne with a versatile solution that concentrates on the real roots of acne. BIOSKINFORTE solves both teen acne associated with puberty hormone changes and stress-related adult acne. BIOSKINFORTE stops blackheads from forming using natural acne home remedies that get sebum production under control and keep it from hardening.

Ultra exfoliate rough scars and dull skin with BIOSKINEXFOL
Home microdermabrasion cream. Contains the same natural ingredients in BIOSKINCARE but infused with micro-crystals so that you may rub it with your finger tips to remove old, hard, and tough scars or stretch marks by a physical breakdown of the scar tissues. Best also for oily skin and aged skin, actinic keratosis scales and pitted acne scars. Not for keloids and not if your skin is still fragile (use BIOSKINCARE for a few months first to strengthen your skin). The compounded action of the physical abrasion and the enzymes in the cream liquefy damaged proteins more thoroughly helping to release amino-acids to aid in rebuilding damaged tissues quickly. Results are not only immediate, but compound over time and do not trigger inflamm-aging of delicate skin tissues.

Biological Acne Solution
Our skin care products contain a rich biological compound of glycoconjugates that scientists have identified as a powerful skin regenerating ingredient created by a living creature to support its immune system and (a) protect its skin from the attacks of opportunistic bacteria and other microbes always ready to intrude in moist and damaged skin by inducing the production of antimicrobial peptides on the skin, (b) keep its skin moisturized by promoting the production of hydrating sugar molecules within the dermis, (c) scavenge free radicals and repair the damaging effects to living cells of excessive solar exposure, (d) quickly regenerate its skin when damaged with minimal or no scarring.
Prevents skin infections, repairs injuries and skin lesions without leaving behind unsightly scars and enhances the orchestrated renewal of cracked, worn out, dead, dying or dysfunctional tissues.
It keeps the skin supple, elastic, moisturized.
We collect the rich biological ingredient by using a method that is very humanely as we do not inflict any harm to the little creatures that produce it.
Biological Acne & Skin Treatment
BIOSKINCARE™
A natural skin care cream that triggers the regeneration of damaged cells and replenishes the lipid barrier of the skin while preventing and removing scars after healing of burns, injuries, wounds or surgery; stretch marks; aberrant hypertrophic and keloid scars; keratois pilaris, actinic keratosis scales, dermatitis, dryness, cracked skin and all types of skin blemishes. 50 gram jar = $69.98 and for two or more 20% discount.
BIO SKIN REJUVENATION™
Same cream base and enzymes as in BIOSKINCARE to "digest" or dissolve blemishes, speed skin turnover and tighten skin, and two added ingredients: one is a human growth factor peptide, derived from the melanocyte-stimulating-hormone. Blocks melanin synthesis, and reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation, allowing control over skin tone and brown spots. The other is a natural plant extract that takes away dark pigmentation. Leaves skin bright and refreshed! 50 gram jar = $79.
BIOSKINCLEAR™
An oil free moisturizer gel for acne, rosacea and facial scars. Heals lesions to the cells lining the hair follicles which is the root cause of inflammatory acne. Removes dead cells, unclogs sebum canals and dissolves scar tissues by enzymatic hydrolysis, without peeling. Promotes the proliferation of antimicrobials that control acne bacteria. Boosts reproduction of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that retain water, thus truly moisturizing the skin from within. Tells the body it is being taken care off and can moderate an otherwise extreme inflammatory reaction that may end up destroying healthy skin cells and creating crater like scarring and not only the acne bacteria. 50 gram (1.76 oz) airless pump bottle $59 and 20% off for two or more.
BIOACNECARE™
Serum for back acne breakouts, face and body acne and for cystic acne. Contains the following ingredients acting in concert to yield benefits that go beyond the sum of those of the components:
a) Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates with antioxidant, antimicrobial & skin regeneration properties to heal skin lesions within the follicles, control acne bacteria and prevent and get rid of acne scars;
b) The active extract of the bark of the Black willow ( Salix Nigra) tree to enhance cell renewal on the surface of the skin, unclog pores and reduce acneic skin flora (Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus). The actual content of willow (Salix Nigra) extract expressed as standarized salicylic acid is less than 0.5%. The Salix Nigra extract also provides natural B-hydroxy acid activity, without the skin irritation commonly associated with synthetic salicylic acid;
c) Modified glucomannan (carbohydrate) -high molecular weight heterpolysaccharides made up of glucose and mannose derived from the Japanese Konjac tuber (root)- that reduce the surface tension of oil and facilitates its dispersion into droplets. These droplets get distributed evenly along the skin’s surface, minimizing their presence and oily feel;
d) Hyaluronic Acid a glycosaminoglycan (also present in the snail serum) to deeply moisturize the skin and restore the capacity of the skin to hold in moisture; and seaweed extracts that provide moisture and trace minerals necessary for the recovery of damaged skin cells; and sodium salt of pyroglutamic acid (naturally in human skin) moisturizer;
e) Licochalcone LR-15 from Licorice (Glycyrrhiza inflate) extract which clinicals in Japan have shown that at very low concentration reduces undesired p. acnes and other acneic skin flora, is anti-irritating, anti-inflammatory and reduces sebum output. 50 Grams in Airless Pump Bottle.
