Eliminatin­g acne and skin breakouts

-

BREAKOUTS commonly affect many people, especially young adults and teenagers undergoing changes in their hormones when growing up. It occurs when our sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, clogging the pores.

Medical literature proves breakouts can be reduced or at least controlled if sebum production can be reduced. The research has shown that one of the causes of breakouts is due to a lack of linoleic acid in the skin. Studies show a co-relationsh­ip between linoleic acid and sebum production. In patients with lower concentrat­ion of linoleic acid in the skin, it was found that the level of sebum secretion and oily skin was higher – a lack of linoleic acid in the skin triggers off excessive sebum production, oily skin, clogged pores and breakouts.

Our skin needs linoleic acid but cannot produce it, so we can either consume foods high in linoleic acid or an easier way would be to apply a skincare product high in linoleic acid.

Garden of Eden has a 100% botanical based serum free from chemicals-Rosa T Acne Serum, which is rich in linoleic acid.

When applied to the skin in just one to two drops after cleansing it increases linoleic acid, reducing breakouts. Two key natural ingredient­s – Rosehip Seed Oil (Rosa. Aff. rubiginosa) and Grape Seed Oil (Vitis vinefera) are both rich in linoleic acid that normalises oil or sebum secretion. With regular use, you can now control excessive oily skin – the root cause of breakouts.

Rosa T Acne Serum is specially formulated with Australian Tea Tree Oil, well known to work gently yet effectivel­y on breakout-prone skin to kill bacteria and prevent future breakouts.

In an Australian study, tea tree oil is proven to have the same potency and effectiven­ess as a natural antibacter­ial agent as benzoyl peroxide but without the side effects. In fact, Rosa T Acne Serum contains Australian Tea Tree Oil, which contains the highest active ingredient Terpinen-4-Ol to kill breakout-causing bacteria, promoting clearer skin.

For those who suffer from scars as a result of breakouts, Rosa T Acne Serum contains natural Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) that helps the synthesis of collagen in the skin to smoothen and lighten scars. The result of regular usage is that scar texture and colour is improved over time. Vitamin E, together with Grape Seed Oil, has an antioxidan­t effect which also helps speed up the healing of scars and promote smoother skin.

For best results, use Rosa T Acne Serum together with Rosa T Acne Gel and Rosa T Mild Gel Cleanser. After cleansing the face with Rosa T Mild Gel Cleanser, apply Rosa T Acne Gel on spots, during the day.

For night-intensive treatment, apply two to three small drops of Rosa T Acne Serum and dot on cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. Gently massage into skin until it is fully absorbed.

Garden of Eden Rosa T Acne product range is available at all leading pharmacies (selected Guardian Outlets, Aeon Wellness, Caring, Alpro Pharmacy, Vitacare, AA Pharmacy, BIG Pharmacy, Healthlane Pharmacy, Mediconsta­nt Pharmacy).
