Acne-Ltd Research and Treatment

The team of researchers at Acne-Ltd were the pioneers in studies of skin diseases that can and often do co-exist with acne. These co-existing skin conditions can lead to a mis-diagnosis or delay in the treatment of acne.

Treatments such as Retinoids, accutane, steroids, laser therapy, and antibiotics often do not work well and may aggravate, redden or thin the skin which results in further sensitivity.

Years of innovative research has lead to the development of new effective Acne-Ltd III whose specialty is leaving the skin intact with a soothing invisible application without side effects of any type. Acne-Ltd III can be applied to skin that is sensitive due to acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and rosacea.

Symptoms of Acne

Acne is a condition of the skin, which causes spots, especially on the face, shoulders and upper back. Acne tends to begin at puberty, and although most sufferers are over it within a few years, it may carry on for life. Spots form in the glands of the skin that produce protective oils (sebaceous glands). The places where the spots usually occur are the face, shoulders, and upper back.

Acne may result in small spots which known as "blackheads" (or open comedones); Small spots which are white in colour, known as "whiteheads" (or closed comedones);These may become infected by a germ or bacterium (Propionibacterium acnes) which makes the spot inflamed, and results in a larger raised spot (papule), a spot filled with pus (pustule) or a hardened lump (nodule);The largest spots are more likely to leave lasting scars.
