How does ABC fight both acne AND the aging process?

Retinol

This substance, added to moisturizers and other cosmetics, serves as a humectant, attracting water to skin cells. As the skin cells "plump up",the fine lines and wrinkles get filled in. Additionally, once retinol is applied to the skin, it converts into retinoic acid, a biologically active agent that shrinks sebaceous glands (pores) and unclogs follicles, and is used to treat acne, fine wrinkling, and mottled hyperpigmentation.

Thus, as the skin cells are expanding from the inside, the pores and outside skin layers shrink, making the skin appear "tighter", younger and healthier.

If used regularly, applying retinol products may help prevent age-related skin damage. Retinoids rebuild the skin's collagen infrastructure, and thus may provide improvements that persist after the use of the product is discontinued. This effect contrasts with that of the hydroxy acids, which benefit the skin only as long as they are used. Photographs of patients who have used topical retinoids for 5 to 10 years suggest that the benefit may be cumulative. Therefore if people were to use retinoids consistently from their teen years onward the appearance of most people's skin would be greatly improved. The longer you use it, the better the results.

Salicylic Acid

Acne is caused in part by bacteria called "P acnes". To cure and prevent acne, topical antibiotics are used as to kill this bacteria.. In the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne these topical antibiotics can be extremely effective. They reduce the population of P acnes (the bacteria that causes acne) in sebaceous follicles (pores) and also reduce the swelling, inflammation, or "bumps" by suppressing chemotaxis and decreasing the percentage of proinflammatory free fatty acids in surface lipids (they get rid of the gooey puss, like in "whiteheads") . Salicylic acid, a type of topical antibiotic is effective against both whiteheads and cystic acne, while being mild enough to be legal for use WITHOUT a prescription (the others such as erythromycin, clindamycin, sodium sulfacetamide require a prescription because of their potentially serious side effects).

Use it every day!

ABC Anti Wrinkle also contains Vitamin A and Vitamin E, long prized by Acne sufferers for its healing and moisturizing properties, this combination of compounds is EXTREMELY effective. Shown in clinical studies to significantly reduce the both the "open" (cystic) and "Closed" (i.e. whiteheads) forms of acne, if applied at the first sign of a breakout, can reduce healing time and even help eliminate the outbreak completely! This will not dry out the skin like "other" acne products, and can be used as a spot treatment as well as for larger areas of the skin. Use it every day to treat and prevent acne, as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
