Do your breakouts never seem to go away? Do you break out in the same places over and over?
You do all the right things - you cleanse, double cleanse, spot treat, and throw acne fighting acids into the mix but, maybe it's not truly the RIGHT thing. Acne biofilm can be to blame so, let's learn what it is and what can be done to truly treat acne at the root.
The basics: We have bacteria on our skin. Acne is caused by a bacteria called P. Acnes and this bacteria is known to make biofilm. A biofilm is a covering that grows over something such as a bacteria, or even something like a medical device, or bowl at the pedicure spa. It is a protective covering that keeps the bacteria within it safe. Most bacteria produce biofilm which make it almost impenetrable, like a fortress. Biofilms are very hard to eradicate due to their dense protective structure.
What Does this Have to do With My Acne?
This biofilm covers the acne bacteria like a shell, making it really difficult for products to penetrate and kill that bacteria. In other words, the biofilm blocks those products from working to clear your skin.
Once these biofilms are present in your skin and in those follicles, it is nearly impossible to clear acne with traditional tools like antibiotics and most topical acne treatments.
Most products on the market do not kill and break into the biofilm, and do not actually touch the acne bacteria.
