A bit About Acne
Excess seborrhea and a tendency towards acne are skin disorders linked to the sebaceous follicle. Acne is the most common skin condition treated by dermatologists. Epidemiological studies have shown a prevalence in adult females between 20 and 40 years old. Acne can present as skin lesions, with or without comedos and microcysts and in the most severe cases, can turn into papules, pustules and inflamed cysts. This skin condition is often linked to hormonal and psychological issues. Good skin maintenance is therefore important in preventing problems linked to acne, improving the skin’s health and reducing the appearance of acne lesions. Cosmeceutical skincare products specifically adapted for acne-prone skin enable the prevention and improvement of these disorders
 

Acne and Microbiota

Skin microbiota, also known as cutaneous flora, is the community of micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria, fungus...) living on the surface of your skin as well as within it. The skin microbiota lives in the upper layers of the epidermis, in the pilosebaceous ducts and in the sweat glands. Its health plays an important role in acne. This condition seems to be linked to a dysbiosis between the cutaneous flora and its bacterial diversity. The bacterial imbalance may alter the skin’s pH and lead to inflammatory issues. The skin’s reaction can vary depending on the nature of the dysbiosis and the microbiota itself, which is unique to each individual. A well-balanced cutaneous flora ensures the skin’s health, immunity and protection. It can be upset, not only by a bacterial imbalance but also by external and internal factors of oxidative stress. This is why it is essential to preserve the microbiota’s health.
