EVALUATION

Acne is the most common skin condition of adolescence, although it also occurs in adult life. 80% of people experience some form of acne (mild or severe) during their lifetime. Acne can be caused by endogenous factors (hormonal imbalance, heredity) as well as exogenous ones (e.g. stress). Adult acne is more common in women than in men, due primarily to hormonal changes, while environmental pollution, smoking and diet also play a significant role. It appears after the age of 25 in individuals who had no previous history of teenage acne, or re-emerges following adolescence.

The main causes of acne are:

• Hypersecretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands, triggered by androgens.
• Increased production and accumulation of keratinocytes, leading to blocked pores and the formation of comedones.
• The presence of the micro-organism P. acnes, which causes infection.

FROIKA developed its comprehensive AC range of specialised products targeting the key causal factors of acne. Thanks to its active ingredients, the range displays potent sebum-regulating, keratoregulating and antimicrobial action, while the moisturising agents it contains provide cosmetic care, regeneration, elasticity and comfort for oily, acne-prone skin in both teenagers and adults. By combining thorough cleansing with intensive treatment and complementary care, the AC line products form a complete solution to the problem of acne.
