      Introduction to Acne and the identification of acne related symptoms

      Acne is a disease just like any other genetic condition. While there is no cure, there are effective treatments that can help keep this skin condition under control and restore balance to the skin during active flare-up periods. Unfortunately, acne, particularly teenage acne, is a common skin concern. It occurs when oil and dead skin cells build up and block hair follicles, causing pimples and bumps known as papules and pustules. If not properly managed, this condition can lead to scarring and emotional distress.

      Factors that can exacerbate this skin condition include:
      • Acnegenic fatty acids found in certain make-up, sunscreens, and hair products
      • Diets rich in iodine
      • Incorrect cleansing routines
      • Hormonal fluctuations
      • Stress
      • Hereditary factors

      Tip: Ice the pimple. Start with a freshly washed face. Wrap an ice block in a clean washcloth and apply it directly to the pimple for no longer than one minute at a time, leaving at least five to ten minutes between applications. This technique helps to reduce swelling and minimise the size and lifespan of the pimple. Never apply ice directly onto the skin, and never ice a spot for more than one minute at a time.

      Morning: After the cleansing routine, apply DermaFix ACC Vitamin C for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Follow with DermaFix DermaShield SPF40 High Protection UVA/UVB Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, a soothing, non-oily formula.

      Evening: After the cleansing routine, apply DermaFix ACC Vitamin C for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Follow with DermaFix Vitamin B Cream to assist in controlling oil gland secretions.

      Optional: DermaFix Clari-Fine Clay Masque can be used twice a week to refine the skin, assist with deep cleansing, and provide oil control.
      • Iodine contained in dairy products, meat, and iodised salt can exacerbate acne conditions and is best eliminated.
      • Once an established DermaFix skincare routine has been achieved, MD Prescriptives Skin Clear can be incorporated into your evening routine as a moisturiser, and DermaFix Vitamin B Cream can be used as your morning moisturiser. These two products should not be applied at the same time.
      • Re-evaluate your skincare routine every 28 days.

      Double cleanse the skin with DermaFix Active Cleansing Gel to provide deep cleansing benefits. For sensitive skin, DermaFix Gentle Cleansing Gel can be used as an alternative, offering anti-inflammatory benefits and recommended for Roaccutane or Accutane users.

      For advanced treatment, add one drop of DermaFix DermaBright to your DermaFix cleanser at night only. Exfoliate daily with DermaFix DermaPolish, a gentle enzyme exfoliator that assists in removing dark, redundant skin cells. Tone the skin with DermaFix Revitalising Toner to prepare it for advanced absorption of active ingredients and to provide anti-inflammatory benefits.

      Please note: if using any Roaccutane or Accutane products, avoid the use of DermaFix DermaBright.
