ACNE - the treatment protocol

PURIFYING LINE

Acne is a very common and widespread skin disease that does not only affect teenagers but also adults. All the same, its visible nature causes a psychological (self-image) and psychosocial (quality of life) impact, the consequences of which can be extremely embarrassing.

A TAILORED TREATMENT: THE KEY TO SUCCESS!

LONGIDERM combines a PURIFYING CONCEPT in a special range containing active ingredients from natural and chemical origin. They target the causes of acne and reduce imperfections in oily and acne-prone skin.

Different steps are described:

1. CLEANSE WITH THE PURIFYING FOAM

INDICATION:

This light and easy-to-apply purifying foam ensures a daily cleansing of oily and acne-prone skin. It offers a complete system that penetrates the pores and prevents sebum from accumulating. It removes impurities and dead cells and leaves the skin looking healthier and clearer.

RESULTS & ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:

• - SALIX ALBA soothes irritations and induces a keratolytic effect that unclogs pores.
• - ROSMARIN EXTRACT refreshes the skin, helps control the growth of micro-organisms and strengthens the skin’s natural defence mechanism thanks to its antioxidant properties.
• - AZELAIC ACID is a multifunctional ingredient that acts on hyperseborrhea and balances the production and secretion of sebum thanks to its keratolytic and sebo-regulating properties. This acid has moisturising, anti-inflammatory and brightening effects.
• - ARGININ deeply purifies the skin, soothes and stimulates cellular metabolism.
• - CAPRYLOYL GLYCINE is a sebo-regulating agent that cleanses the skin while keeping it moisturised. It acts against the proliferation of micro-organisms.

 This foam is available in a 100 ml foam dispenser.

2. PURIFY WITH THE PURIFYING LOTION

INDICATION:

This lotion with toning, astringent and soothing properties completes the daily cleansing of oily and acne-prone skin. It tightens the pores and leaves the skin looking clearer and healthier. It also induces a keratolytic effect in order to avoid the skin conditions caused by the association of sebum and impurities.

RESULTS & ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:

• - ALCOHOL refreshes, degreases and disinfects the skin.
• - AZELAIC ACID acts on hyperseborrhea and balances the production and secretion of sebum. It improves the skin’s moisture, suppleness and complexion.
• - SALICYLIC ACID is an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent that prevents the growth of micro-organisms and keeps the skin moisturised. It supports the skin’s defence mechanism thanks to its antiradical properties.
• - SALIX ALBA soothes irritations and normalises keratinisation. It prevents dead cells and impurities from accumulating and clogging pores.
• - ARGININE deeply purifies the skin, soothes and stimulates cellular metabolism.
• - VITAMIN C is an antioxidant that helps to scavenge free radicals, encourages collagen synthesis and optimizes cell renewal.

This lotion is available in a 100 ml spray.

3. TARGET WITH THE PURIFYING SERUM

INDICATION:

This non-greasy serum is a LOCAL intensive care meant to correct skin breakouts and accelerate their resorption.

RESULTS & ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:

• - the “MULTI-ACID” COMPLEX acts synergistically to efficiently remove impurities and prevent sebum from accumulating. In this complex:

1. SALIX ALBA tightens pores, moisturizes and reduces skin discomfort.
2. GLYCOLIC ACID softens the skin and stimulates its exfoliation. Dead cells are eliminated more easily. It has regenerating and restructuring properties while stimulating cellular renewal and collagen production.
3. SHIKIMIC ACID has a sebo-normalizing and exfoliating action. This anti-inflammatory agent helps to prevent the proliferation of micro-organisms.
4. AZELAIC ACID regulates sebum secretion and prevents pores from clogging. It has anti- inflammatory effects and scavenges free radicals. The brightening action leaves the skin looking radiant.
5. MANDELIC ACID reduces inflammation, redness and pigment spots. This moisturiser and exfoliant helps to remove dead cells from the skin surface and in this way stimulates cell renewal.
6. ARGININE deeply purifies the skin; soothes and stimulates cellular metabolism.

This serum is available in a 15ml bottle.

4. MOISTURISE WITH THE HYDRA-PURIFYING CREAM AND/OR THE HYDRA-PURIFYING CREAM +

INDICATION:

The action to be taken facing acne is to moisturise the skin instead of drying it up. LONGIDERM has developed a light care (HYDRA-PURIFYING CREAM) to be used morning and evening and a more intensive care (HYDRA-PURIFYNG CREAM +) to be used at night in presence of severe acne. Both are indicated to moisturise, balance and correct oily and acne-prone skin.

RESULTS & ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:

• - AZELAIC ACID gently cleanses the epidermis and compensates for the irritating and drying effects of anti-acne treatments. It normalises sebum secretion rates significantly. Moreover, it has a brightening and toning action.
• - SALIX ALBA soothes irritations, regulates sebum production and normalises keratinisation.
• - SALICYLIC ACID is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help eliminate and prevent pimples and skin imperfections.
• - Its MOISTURISING, ANTIOXIDANT and ANTI-AGING ingredients restore the moisture level of the skin, enhance its barrier function and induce an anti-aging effect to fight the signs of skin aging.

Both creams are available in a 30 ml “Airless”.
