Acne usually starts during puberty when hormonal changes activate the production of sebum. Sebum is an oily substance that lubricates your skin and protects it from infection. If the pores, from which sebum flows to the skin's surface, are clogged, the body will produce an inflammatory reaction and the sebum trapped there becomes a rich feeding ground for the proliferation of bacteria. Moderate to severe acne can result from recurrent infections due to clogged pores. The areas affected by this problem usually lose essential components that provide the skin with defenses and healing properties. Acne infections destroy collagen and elastin fibers, sever the microvascular system and damage or destroy skin cells.

During the healing process, a scar is left in the skin. Normal, functional tissue (skin) is replaced by connective tissue (scar). Acne skin care is essential for people who develop moderate to severe scarring.

Can you Get Rid of Acne?

With the right skin care products and health care, acne can be very treatable. The question now becomes how to get rid of acne fast so that the skin heals without producing scar tissue. The key is to find skin care products that contain biological components that help eliminate acne as soon as possible.

When skin care lotions absorb quickly, they help prevent scarring and help speed up the regeneration of skin cells. These lotions usually contain snail serum which is a complex compound that combines natural antimicrobial peptide antibiotics that fight acne infection and skin regenerating peptides that eliminate red marks, shrink scar tissues and prevent and repair scarring.

The antimicrobial peptides found in this skin products act within minutes. It seems that antimicrobial peptides punch holes in the membranes of bacteria similar to the way complement proteins do to our immune system. But what is really exciting about these antimicrobial peptide antibiotic substances is that the target bacterium may not be able to mutate and defend itself against this antibiotic action.

The secret to the survival of bacteria is their ability to develop defenses against all kinds of threats like penicillin and other antibiotics. The bacteria simply modifies one or more of its enzymes to break the link between the target protein and the antibiotic. Therefore, the antibiotic has no effect on the bacteria.

However, to adapt to a peptide antibiotic, bacteria have to work harder. In this case the bacterium would have to change the composition of its entire cell membrane to protect itself. To do that, it would have to change a number of the enzymes that make up its membrane.

Peptide antibiotics respond within minutes. Part of the reason for this rapid response is how the peptide acts on the cell membrane. However, to be successful, the peptide must find the bacterial membrane as quickly as possible.
