How does Clear Skin Formula + HA promote a clear complexion?
Natural skincare for acne. Clear Skin Formula + HA works to clear acne and blemishes from the inside out. Going beyond traditional acne medications, Clear Skin Formula + HA targets the root cause of non-cystic acne by supporting the body's natural systems for cleansing, repairing and healing. Digestive herbs cleanse and detoxify, Bromelain and Selenium calm reactive skin, vitamins A and C promote skin health, and vitamin A and Zinc support a clear complexion. This nutrient-rich formulation also has antiseptic properties, promotes the balancing of certain acne-causing hormones, and helps to reduce sebum production and ease inflammation.
Is Clear Skin Probiotic Formula Plus HA right for my skin?
Clear Skin Formula + HA is recommended for those aged 12 years or older with non-cystic acne, and is suitable for all skin types.
I’ve tried prescription or over the counter (OTC) medications for acne. What can I expect from nutritional supplements?
Prescription and OTC acne medications can be powerful, but they can also come with significant side effects. Natural skin support supplements like Clear Skin Formula + HA tend to be milder, safer, and far less likely to cause negative reactions.
Many topical treatments for the care of acne and inflammatory disorders of the skin have been shown to be effective, but are limited to targeting only the outermost layers of the skin. Skin is a sophisticated organ designed to prevent potential pathogens from entering the body. And, this can also make it extremely difficult for the active ingredients in topical products to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. Using a bi-directional approach to address both the external and internal causes behind breakouts by coupling high-quality topicals with a wholesome diet and supplements for skin allows for a holistic approach to clearing the complexion.
What if I am already taking acne medication?
Consider seeking the advice of your doctor before beginning any nutritional supplement program, particularly if you are diabetic, pregnant, or lactating. Clear Skin Formula + HA contains vitamin A (palmitate); if you are presently taking a vitamin A-containing medication for the treatment of acne, refrain from taking Clear Skin Formula for six months following the completion of the treatment cycle. For more information on precautions, please refer to the product Directions section.
Could my diet be to blame for breakouts?
Our skin is our largest organ, and like all systems in our bodies, skin requires an optimal balance of certain nutrients and minerals to look and feel its best. While a number of factors could be influencing acne, blemishes, and other skin conditions, like genetics, stress, and hormones, nourishing skin from within by consuming quality nutrients can affect skin’s overall health and appearance. Clear Skin Formula + HA is an ideal nutraceutical for those with an unbalanced diet, commonly observed in individuals between 15 and 30 years of age.
In addition to supplementing nutrition for natural acne treatment, choosing a gentle facial cleanser and moisturizer, like Clear Skin Probiotic Facial Cleanser and Clear Skin Probiotic Moisturizer, can help to target external causes of skin imbalances and stop breakouts before they start.
What is the skin microbiome?
Just like the rest of the body, our skin isn’t only an organ. It’s also a diverse ecosystem, and home to trillions of microbes – or microorganisms– like fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Some microbes can be helpful, and some can be harmful. Helpful microorganisms are called probiotics, and they work to keep our skin healthy by helping to form our natural skin barrier, blocking bad bacteria, contributing to a balanced pH level, preventing infection by upholding natural immune responses, and locking in moisture to prevent dehydration. They also play a part in soothing acne prone skin by helping to manage redness, inflammation, and swelling and keeping excess, blemish-causing sebum – the sticky oil produced by our skin – in check.
What is the skin's pH level?
The “pH” (or “potential of hydrogen”) level is the measure of our skin’s acidity. Staying within the optimal range helps to ensure our skin’s natural ability to keep harmful bacteria at bay and creates a healthy environment for beneficial microorganisms. When the pH is too acidic, skin can become dry and irritated. When the pH is too alkaline, skin can become oily and shiny. Restoring your skin to a balanced pH with products like VitaMedica’s Clear Skin Probiotic Facial Cleanser and Clear Skin Probiotic Facial Moisturizer works to help to sustain the skin barrier and combat unwanted issues like blemishes and infection.
What is the skin barrier?
The skin barrier is a natural protective layer (also called the “lipid layer” or “hydrolipid layer”) that acts as a shield to pollutants, toxins, and harmful UV rays. This outermost layer of the epidermis also works to maintain the necessary moisture and absorb vital nutrients to help prevent dehydration, infection, inflammation, and other imbalances. Clear Skin Probiotic Facial Cleanser and Clear Skin Probiotic Facial Moisturizer help to support a healthy skin barrier by promoting an ideal pH level.
