What Is Acne?
other substances on the skin's oil glands (sebaceous glands) and hair follicles. These factors lead to plugged pores and outbreaks of lesions commonly called pimples or zits. Acne lesions usually occur on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. Although acne is usually not a serious health threat, it can be a source of significant emotional distress. Severe acne can lead to permanent scarring. How Does Acne Develop? Doctors describe acne as a disease of the pilosebaceous units (PSUs). Found over most of the body, PSUs consist of a sebaceous gland connected to a canal, called a follicle, that contains a fine hair.
make an oily substance called sebum that normally empties onto the skin surface through the opening of the follicle, commonly called a pore. Cells called keratinocytes line the follicle. The hair, sebum, and keratinocytes that fill the narrow follicle may produce a plug, which is an early sign of acne. The plug prevents sebum from reaching the surface of the skin through a pore. The mixture of oil and cells allows bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) that normally live on the skin to grow in the plugged follicles. These bacteria produce chemicals and enzymes and attract #016EBB blood cells that cause inflammation. (Inflammation is a characteristic reaction of tissues to disease or injury and is marked by four signs: swelling, redness, heat, and pain.) When the wall of the plugged follicle breaks down, it spills everything into the nearby skin – sebum, shed skin cells, and bacteria – leading to lesions or pimples.

one or more popular over-the-counter medications. These include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and sulfur-based skin creams or masks. Although these products are dermatologist recommended for mild signs of acne, side effects like skin irritation, burning, and/or redness are common complaints. Moderate to severe forms of inflammatory acne are most typically treated with a combination of both oral and topical medicines, usually vitamin A derivative creams and antibiotics. Inflammatory acne that does not respond to any of these treatments often warrants the use of even stronger medicines (e.g. Accutane), which can cause severe side effects such as changes in liver function. However, the majority of acne sufferers overlook a critical influence for acne development - adequate nutrient intake. Research is currently being conducted and is studying the mechanisms responsible for regulating natural sebum production to help identify ways to effectively reduce its production. Other studies are aimed at developing immunological interventions to prevent the onset of acne-related symptoms. Actimine's proprietary blend of ingredients has been designed with this latest research in mind, helping to manage the primary causes of acne from the inside while promoting allure on the skin's surface. Like many treatments using vitamin A derivatives, Actimine too employs vitamin A to provide a reduction in sebum production and buildup of keratin within the follicles. Actimine also addresses inflammatory concerns by providing your body with the important antioxidant rich nutrient selenium. Selenium has been shown to be of influence in the regulation of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. This enzyme is not only our body's most potent, naturally occurring antioxidant and detoxicant, it also plays a critical role in the body's natural inflammatory processes. Zinc is an important nutrient of total skin health and is also included in Progressive Health's synergistic acne formula. Zinc gluconate, one of the most effective forms of zinc, aids in hormonal management; furthering a reduction in both sebum and keratin - two primary causes of acne formation. Methylsulfonyl Methane and Gum Guggul extract improve the permeability of cell walls, allowing the nutrients to be deposited in the many cellular structures affected by this condition. Gum Guggul has proven so effective in one clinical trial, in fact, that 20 patients exhibited better improvements in skin health when compared to the oral antibiotic tetracycline. The benefits of the active ingredients included in Actimine will compliment your current treatment program for the management of acne without the fear of debilitating or discomforting side effects.
I’m 25 years old and I have had a problem keeping my face clear of acne since I’ve been about 13-14. I’ve literally tried every product to keep my face clear and any breakouts under control. I started using Proactiv and it did well to keep my face clean of big blemishes, but it still didn’t get the fine acne. A friend of mine gave me bottle of a product they were using and told me try it out. Within 2 weeks the fine acne on my nose and forehead was almost completely gone. Because of the results, I ordered my own supply soon after. I’ve been using the product for over a month now and daily maintenance to keep my face looking clean is so much easier and my skin looks dramatically healthier. I highly recommend Actimine to anyone! I’m now a customer of progressivehealth.com for life! Thank you for producing such a quality product! Brian Davi Boise, Idaho
