Studies have shown that AHA’s are effective in reducing lesions caused by acne vulgaris, the medical term for common facial acne, which affects some 85% of all people 12 to 24 years old. In addition to our Alpha-Hydroxy -Acids (Fruit Acids) line, we have derived an unique Acne Attack blend dedicated to preventing and treating acne, right at home with your daily facial care regimen.
This blend includes black willowbark extract combined with a proprietary blend of pure essential oils, and together are an effective means to control acne. Black willowbark is a safe way to get the benefits of a beta-hydroxy acid without the risk of irritation. When compared to salicylic acid the extract/tincture is better able to increase turnover of the stratum corneum (outermost layer of the skin) and also has more in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes. Black willowbark has been shown through testing to possess potent antimicrobial properties. Efficacy testing has shown that the extract has activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes, two of the skin flora implicated in the formation of acne. When added to cosmetic formulations, the extract/tincture can also increase the cell renewal capabilities of cosmetic formulations.
