Redefined, Systemic, All Natural Acne Treatment

Don’t get me wrong, sebum is not bad. Without it, our skin would look like an alligator’s skin and will also age very quickly. But too much of a good stuff is also not good so when too much sebum is produced it clogs the pores, mixes with dead skin cells and dirt, and initiates the acne cascade, a chain of events that ends up with what we call zits, pimples or cysts. Less dramatic, clinically characterized by non‐inflammatory symptoms of acne (open and closed comedones, blackheads and whiteheads) are also included as symptoms of acne.

Adult Women Acne: Choose the Best Regimen for You

Adult women’s acne often results from an overproduction of sebum, the oily substance secreted by the skin’s sebaceous glands. When excess sebum clogs pore, it creates an environment that encourages bacterial growth and inflammation.

For many women, breakouts are linked to hormonal fluctuations—particularly an increase in androgens such as testosterone, which strongly stimulate sebaceous glands. While both men and women produce testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, the balance differs. Medical research confirms that an imbalance between male hormones (testosterone) and female hormones (estrogen) can trigger acne.

In women, this imbalance may occur during pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, or due to other temporary or long-term factors. Certain medications—such as corticosteroids, antidepressants, hormonal treatments, or oral contraceptives—as well as some cosmetic products can also contribute to acne development.

To effectively manage adult acne, it’s essential to address the root cause internally, restore hormonal balance, and treat existing symptoms while preventing future breakouts.

Below are links to the appropriate regimes.

  • Mild to Moderate Adult Women Acne: a moderate number of small pimples that may appear either periodically or more frequently usually on the chin, nose and forehead; sometimes on the cheeks; they may occasionally get inflamed but do not lead to cysts.
  • Severe Adult Women Acne: Large, often inflamed pimples and cysts that cover larger areas of the face and are persistent and chronic.
  • Adult Women Body Acne: Pimples and/or cysts on the back, chest, and/or neck, shoulders, and buttocks.

  • Chronic Mild to Moderate Acne: Mild to Moderate acne that has lasted for 3 or more years.
  • Chronic Severe Acne: Severe acne that has lasted for 3 years or more.
  • OILY SKIN: Shiny T-Zone (forehead, nose and chin): makeup “runs” or fades after few hours, white under-skin bumps on a face or body; oily hair.

Adult Men Acne: Choose the Best Regimen for You

Acne in men isn’t about poor hygiene—it’s about hormones. Elevated testosterone and its derivatives, like DHT and DHEA, can overstimulate sebaceous glands, leading to excess oil and breakouts. That’s why AcnEase® goes beyond surface-level care.

Our advanced formula is designed to help rebalance your skin from within, supporting a healthier oil profile and treating both – exiting breakouts and the root causes of acne. Instead of masking symptoms, AcnEase® works to restore balance —so you can achieve clear, confident skin naturally and permanently.

Teen Acne (9–17 Years Old): Choose the Best Regimen for You

In adolescents, acne vulgaris primarily develops due to increased sebum production by the sebaceous glands, driven by elevated androgen levels and possible fluctuations in estrogen. This hormonal activity affects both males and females during their teenage years. Excess sebum, combined with dead skin cells, can block pores, forming whiteheads and blackheads. These blockages create an environment for bacterial growth, particularly Propionibacterium acnes, which triggers an inflammatory response and leads to more severe acne.

To help teenagers achieve clear skin, the goal should be to restore balance in the body and normalize sebaceous gland activity by addressing the root causes of acne—without disrupting the natural adolescent process, without introducing additional hormones or hormone modulators, or relying on products that merely treat symptoms.

Clogged pores attract bacteria - most commonly Cutibacterium acnes that initiates inflammation which mobilizes our body to respond to this stimulus and causes the formation of papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts.

Many factors are involved in triggering the acne cascade including body changes such hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy or menopause, and lifestyle–like diet. For example, including too much sugar in your diet may trigger acne as sugar is one of our skin's most powerful enemies since it not only facilitates acne by amplifying inflammation but also causes “caramelization of skin” which accelerates skin aging. Chronic acne (lasting over 2 years) or acute acne (short term burst of acne condition) may be also caused by certain disease like inflammatory bowel disease, internal inflammation and stress, even some medications.

Our own body's most powerful acne-stimulating factors are hormones, especially androgens. They are behind teen acne (puberty), and adult acne caused by the overproduction of testosterone caused between others by Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) , or decreased production of estrogens (menopause) . This hormonal imbalance or hormonal fluctuation may result in chronic or acute imbalance of a hormonal system. And this internal imbalance may only be properly addressed by systemic (internal) solution. AcnEase 2.0 represents such an internal, systemic solution and works with your body focused on 4 goals:

Alternative Topical Acne Treatment

Acne vulgaris, the most common type of acne affects over 245 million people of both sexes, all ethnic backgrounds, economic strata and geographical locations. As acne is traditionally associated with the adolescent occurring between 15 and 19 years of age there is another fast-growing group of acne sufferers that are 26 years and older. During the past decade – the average age of acne sufferer increased to 25 years old from what was previous 19 years old.

In such a huge and diverse group there are certainly those that may not want to tray the systemic acne treatment no matter how effective or innovative or safe it is. For those we offer a viable alternative. This is a most standard topical therapy but also with some different and unique features. This treatment focuses on external factors exasperating acne but also bring two innovative features not available by any other topical products.

We included different topical anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agents focused solely on breaking the cycle of already existing inflammation and drying and healing the existing acne breakouts. Unique sensitive Retinoidswe are using are added to mitigate a number of skin dead cells and therefore decrease clogging of the pores. Retinol also helps repairing the skin by stimulating collagen and skin turnover. In short- topical therapies will be helpful to reduce the number of existing zits you have if you do not want or cannot take AcnEase 2.0
