Acne is a medical skin condition that occurs when pores (or hair follicles) become blocked by dead skin cells, oil or harmful bacteria. Most common with teenagers owing to hormones, acne can affect people of all ages.

FAQ
Both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide help to effectively clear acne – however, these ingredients are also known to cause excessive dryness and possible skin irritations, which isn’t ideal if you’re using acne treatment for sensitive skin. Those ingredients are not recommended for sensitive skin because they make your skin much drier than needed to treat acne.
Fun fact: your skin is the largest organ in the body! That means it has an ecosystem all of its own, and is home to a wide-range of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. All of that is known as the skin’s microbiome.
As the skin is a primary physical barrier, it’s the interface to the outside environment and can protect the body from foreign organisms and substances. The makeup of your skin’s microbiome varies on different parts of your body, with some microorganisms thriving in moist areas, dry areas, or oily spots.
Many of these microorganisms are harmless and even beneficial to the skin, which is why we want to maintain the balance even with acne treatment. Disruptions or imbalance (dysbiosis) can also lead to skin disorders or infections, like acne. Some other things that might affect the skin’s microbiome are hormones, genes, diet and other lifestyle choices or external environment factors.
Topical products applied to the skin can also interfere with the skin’s microbiome. That’s why here at Dermal Therapy, we work hard to ensure we’re giving your skin the best chance and creating a unique acne treatment in Australia.

Excess oil or sebum production is one of the main factors causing acne. This happens when the glands under the skin enlarge and produce more oil. Too much oil allows bacteria to grow (remembering that some of the microorganisms in the skin microbiome thrive in oily spots!).
That’s why it is so important to control sebum production in managing acne. The Dermal Therapy Acne Control range contains the key ingredient SeboclearTM, a clinically tested active that manages the overproduction of sebum during an acne breakout.
