Understanding Acne Treatment

Elicina & Accutane, Differin or Retin A

What is acne?

Acne is one of the most common of all skin problems. It affects most teenagers to some degree and even adults. Acne shows up as whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and deep painful bumps (nodules) that look like boils. Acne most commonly occurs on the face but can also appear on the neck, back, chest and shoulders. It is estimated that as many as 80% of people between 12 and 25 years of age suffer from acne. While in most people, acne clears up after a few years, many suffer from permanent scarring of the skin.

What causes acne?

During puberty rising hormone levels cause the sebaceous (oil) glands of the skin to get bigger. It is activated by male-type hormones found in both males and females. The sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance called sebum which empties onto the skin's surface through the hair follicles. 

Acne is a complex condition that depends basically on excess sebum (oil) production that occurs when you are going through hormonal imbalances... (specially during adolescence or, if a woman, during your period...) in conjunction with toxins within your skin, due to the intake of excess protein of poor quality, resulting in either:

a) those toxins within the skin follicles attract moisture and create pressure as if the sebaceous glands where pinched off, resulting in a soft pliable lump (knows as a cyst) within the hair follicle. The cyst is usually not painful or discolored unless it becomes infected by bacteria. Then it may become a deep painful bump (severe nodular cystic acne). 

b) plugging of the opening of the hair follicles due to shedding of skin cells from the outer layer of the skin sticking with the sebum, resulting in whiteheads. When whiteheads are exposed to air they form blackheads due to oxidation (think of an apple that you leave on your desk half eaten). 

Also, the mixture of oil and cells helps the bacteria, especially P. Acnes, to grow and become virulent. The increased pressure within the clogged follicle causes the wall of the follicle to rupture. As a result, sebum, bacteria and shed skin cells escape into the surrounding tissue, forming papules, pustules and nodules that can be large and painful. This usually heals within 8 weeks. Nodular acne can result in permanent scarring.

Anything that causes excess water retention within your skin can pinch off the sebaceous glands and make you break out sebum where acne bacteria will proliferate, in minutes, specially if you are going through a period of high sebum production. Excess salt and spices are the most common triggers, so if you eat too many potato chips... they contain both.

More on cooked proteins and acne: Heat destroys and/or changes essential nutrients. New harmful substances are formed in all animal or vegetable foods that are heated in whatever way. Dietary protein is partially damaged in the preparation process (cooking, freezing, etc) Protein molecules interact with dietary carbohydrates, forming new molecules. This process is called "the Maillard reaction", and the same occurs to peptides (amino-acid chains) because of simple oxidation.

In more detail: Digestive enzymes break protein amino acids, only if the targeted part of the protein matches what the enzyme is programmed for. If the linked amino-acids have changed due to heat their is no separation. The un-separated amino-acid chains are transported by the lymph system, at a much lower rate than blood does. And such cargo of Maillard reaction and oxidized peptide products is discharged into the skin so that the lymph can return to the digestive tract and the liver to pick up new cargo of valuable nutrients that it transports for use by the body's organs.

Cooked proteins transform into broken peptides (amino-acid chains) not absorbed into your blood stream but disposed off by your lymphatic system. And end up in the inner layer of your skin attracting moisture and pressing your sebaceous glands to the point of blocking them... and thus pimples.

Procedure to get rid of toxins accumulated within your skin (in the dermis):

1.- Go to a sauna and get into it for 15 minutes (not more not less), then shower. Then back to the sauna for another 15 minutes.. then shower, and then drink clean pure water. You can do this once or twice a month if you do not get addicted to such pleasures... and the clear results for your skin... specially if you also follow the next step.

If a sauna is not feasible steaming your face a few times a week will help a little. Boil some water in a pot on the stove, turn off the heat, cover your head and face with a towel and hang your face over the pot. Take your face away from the heat whenever you need to, and when the steam is gone, rinse your face with cold water. A steam bath or steam shower can also help open up your pores.

2.- Shift your diet, and stick strictly to it for two weeks. Eat loads of fresh fruits and fresh salads including tomato, avocado and virgin olive oil, plus fresh Brazil nuts and 50 grams each day of high quality bio-available proteins in the form of raw fish such as sashimi (fresh fish the Japanese way without the rice) or raw tuna fish (fresh not refrigerated or canned). Click to add avocado & extra virgin olive oil to your shopping cart.

In between meals drink mineral water to help your body flush out toxins. The recommended amount of water you should drink is at least half your bodyweight in ounces of water (a 140lb. individual should drink 70 ounces/day ). After those two weeks try eating a diet high in fiber and raw foods — salads, bran, complex carbohydrates, fresh raw fish, Brazil nuts and lots of mineral water. This will keep your system free of dirty proteins and your digestive tract moving so that your skin is not burdened by wastes your system can't handle. Keep your diet low in fat, sugar, too much salt and spices.

3. Apply Elicina® twice a day to a) speed the process of clearing your sebaceous glands of debris. b) place acne bacteria within your skin follicles under control, and c) clear acne marks and repair acne scarring.

How to use Elicina for acne.

Wash your face with lots of lukewarm water and if necessary use a neutral or acid ph soap (Purpose soap from Johnson & Johnson will do). Pat dry before applying a thin layer of Elicina on your skin. Gently massage Elicina into your skin with your fingers. Do not use exfoliation washes, the cream already contains glycolic acid. If you are currently infected with ACNE: STEAMING your face a few times a week will help. (Boil some water in a pot on the stove, turn off the heat, cover your head and face with a towel and hang your face over the pot. Take your face away from the heat whenever you need to, and when the steam is gone, rinse your face with cold mineral water. Tap water may contain to many irritating substances.)

Elicina contains glycolic acid, as is in the snails slime it is made off,  in a small proportion (approx. 1.6%) and combined with skin repair substances. It gently peels off the dead outer layer of the skin and opens the pores for the skin regenerating ingredients to penetrate deeply into the skin follicles where it repairs damaged tissues (acne scars and marks) and where Elicina acts as a natural antibiotic against bacterial infection.

Our recommendation is to apply only a little Elicina cream twice a day. If you place too much then the peeling is too much and your feeling of dryness is uncomfortable. Some people experience a tingling or tightness or dry effect during the first two weeks of using the cream and then it subsides. This can be remedy by applying a moisturizer on top of Elicina after waiting about 15 minutes for it to be absorbed.

During adolescence or if you are suffering recurrent acne break outs only a change in your nutritional habits plus the daily use of a little ELICINA®, will help dissolve dead cells that clog pores, get rid of toxins within your skin for they attract too much moisture and cause the sebaceous glands to be pinched off, place acne bacteria under control, heal inflammation and acne lesions quickly and ultimately have the sebaceous glands function normally.

We are confident you will be surprised with the good results of this procedures... instead of endlessly searching and testing antibacterial products or reducers of your normal sebum production (they only address part of the problem) that just might work against the acne break outs you have been grappling with.

Acne Scar Remedy

The key to skin renewal is a process where (1) the skin is irritated or slightly damaged by exfoliating agents (such as glycolic acid contained naturally and in a low dose in Elicina) or mildly damaged by other procedures ("sanding" by dermabrasion or burning by laser). This is followed by (2) a natural rebuilding of the skin that removes imperfections, rebuilds collagen and elastin fibers that tighten skin, and increases the amount of glycosamoinoglycans, the moisture-holding proteins that give skin its firmness. The stronger the exfoliation or skin damage, the stronger is the skin rebuilding action. Unfortunately, strong exfoliation causes strong skin irritation with itching, burning, and pain. And the results of laser resurfacing or dermabrasion depend on the skills of the practician. However, to get good results it is IMPERATIVE skin healing progresses at rapid pace.

Elicina as the snail's slime it is made off contains a low dose of glycolic acid combined with skin regenerating accelerators. When used as a long term skin care routine (2 to 4 months) it may be as good as a short term strong chemical peel or a skilled dermabrasion procedure. The skin regeneration accelerators are: allantoin and special proteins and peptides (amino-acid chains) that signal the body to start reproducing human skin cells as quickly as for the repair of the snail's skin. The ultimate healing is when new "invisible hair" called "lanugo" start coming out of the restored hair follicles where the skin was once damaged. This process can take as long as 4 to 12 months for old scars.

Hello, This is my second order from your company as I am convinced that I cannot live without your product. 

Let me explain: 

From age 16 to age 27 I had severe, unrelenting acne and like many of your customers I tried everything. Every anti-biotic, every topical lotion and cream, every diet and skin care regime. Nothing worked until finally I tried Accutane. That finally worked but the side effects and cost were daunting. But after 11 years of acne my self esteem was so wrecked and I was so desperate that I would have walked a mile barefoot on broken glass if I thought it would help. Well here I am now at age 37 and I have been suffering, again, from increasingly worse acne over the last year. I was devastated. I am a veteran of that particular war and could not bear the thought of fighting it again. And let me tell you it is almost worse for my self esteem now than it was as a young adult. It is at least somewhat understandable for a teenager to have it but for someone approaching middle age it just is not right. I feel like people are looking at me like I have a disease. All those terrible memories of not even being able to leave the house for a brief errand without doing the full course of make-up have come crashing back because I am living them again. Having been down that road I know what works and what does not so I knew that none of the conventional wisdom or treatments are worth much at all when it comes to acne. Accutane works but besides the afore mentioned cost and side effects, you have to wait for years after the treatment to have any kind of scar removal surgery. 

Since using your product my skin has improved fantastically. From the very first application it just looked better, being more smooth and having a bit of a glow. The outbreaks of acne are getting less and less each week and some of the lesser scars are looking more smooth. I hope your product will help with scarring but some of it in my temples and the hollows of my cheeks is probably just to severe. However the rest of my face is looking pretty good for scar improvement. But the real and pronounced benefit is the extreme reduction of acne. I know for a fact that the creme is keeping it under control and I can have my life back again without my every activity being dictated by this condition. All I can say to anyone who is considering buying this product is DO IT NOW! The sooner you start the sooner you will be looking good. It really works without the nasty side effects and cost of a lot of treatments I have tried. It is so refreshing and just about stunning to find a product that actually does what it says. So many companies are experts at telling carefully crafted lies about their products to get people to buy them but not very competent at all about producing a worthy product. 

Your company really does have something legitimate to sell; something that truely benefits people. Keep up the good work! Laurel Peters. Colorado, USA.
