Acne is perhaps the most common skin condition affecting people of all ages, most commonly people in their teens and twenties.

Acne can occur on the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. While both males and females can suffer from acne, research shows that the condition is usually more severe in males.
Hereditary also plays an important role, making some people genetically predisposed to outbreaks than others. Other factors include use of cosmetics containing oil, environmental pollution, and drugs, including androgens and barbiturates and humidity.

According to dermatology experts, acne is caused by the over production of androgens, hormones that are present in the body. Androgens most commonly increase during puberty, stimulating the sebaceous glands in the skin.
When the sebaceous glands become blocked by oil and cell debris, this is the perfect breeding ground for the P. Acne bacteria that multiply inside the blocked follicle. These bacteria produce chemicals and enzymes that cause inflammation, redness, swelling and tenderness, commonly associated with acne lesions.
There are different categories of Acne, ranging from mild to the more severe form of Cystic Acne, which must always be treated by a specialist doctor.

The Reversion Antimicrobial wash uses Chloroxylenol to rid skin of 99.9% of bacteria for up to 12 hours. By protecting the skin from acne causing bacteria, the antimicrobial wash halts one of the main factors causing acne.

The Reversion Medication works from within the skin, utilising 2% salicylic acid (to ‘unroof ‘clogged pores) and 6% lactic acid to stimulate your skins natural process of exfoliation.
By combining these two acne-fighting ingredients, preventing dry, dead skin cells build up from blocking pores and preventing bacteria being trapped under the skins surface, the Acne Reversion kit is an effective tool for controlling future acne breakouts.

*If allergic to aspirin, pregnant, or lactating, please do not use the acne medication.
