What acne treatments does Osmosis Skincare use?
Dr. Ben Johnson, the founder of Osmosis, says a healthy diet in combination with skin-balancing healthcare is the best treatment for acne. Osmosis skincare can be used for any type of acne, including acne vulgaris, hormonal acne and adult acne. Osmosis provides a holistic approach to active blemishes and reduction of acne scars. This is achieved by using balanced active ingredients which reach the deepest layers of the skin.
Which ingredients and delivery systems are used by Osmosis Skincare in their anti-acne range?
Liposomal retinaldehyde
Osmosis Skincare has ingredients that remodel scarring. In their anti-acne range of products, they are using potent antibacterial formulas that are non-irritating. Liposomal retinaldehyde used in Osmosis anti-acne serums, is directly converted into retinoic acid by our skin. It converts to retinoic acid 11 times faster than retinol and is approximately 20 times more potent than retinol.
Osmosis use a liposomal form of retinaldehyde to transfer key ingredients through the cell membrane and thus further into the layers of the skin.
Specifically, ingredients are coated with a liposome called phosphatidylcholine that increases product penetration by 600%. Phosphatidylcholine is a unique phospholipid because of its structure (Choline head and essential fatty acid chains which are similar to our cell membranes). When used to coat ingredients, it naturally enhances penetration into the cell and protects it during delivery.
Intercellular lipids like phosphatidylcholine are essential for corneocyte cohesion, and therefore the quality of the skin barrier, which prevents the evaporation of water. This results in smoother skin, increased moisture levels, and skin regeneration. Studies also show that it improves acne due to the high levels of linoleic acid.
Trixolane
Trixolane is a patented technology which is used in the Osmosis Rescue Serum and Immune Activator.
Rescue and Immune Activator are the result of over two decades of research, utilizing a patented oxygen molecule in order to augment and enhance the immune function of the skin and body. The key ingredient in these two products, Trioxolane (ozonized ethyl oleate), is a stable oxygen molecule that helps support immunity, repairs and prevents protein oxidation, and calms inflammation.
Trioxolane has been clinically tested to improve many conditions including acne. It supports wound healing, scar prevention, shingles, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osmosis Skincare is harnessing the reparative power of Trioxolane to improve skin health and appearance. It is also used as a dietary supplement to slow aging and to fight pathogens while beautifying the skin from the inside out.
Trioxolane:
- Slows the aging process by repairing oxidative damage, our cellular and organ aging is slowed.
- Decreases pigmentation by repairing epidermal damage, excess melanin production returns to normal without causing damage to the skin and without using toxic ingredients.
- Anti-inflammatory decreases the inflammation present in the skin and body helping the natural healing process. It improves inflamed acne, rosacea, melasma, and many other inflammatory diseases.
- Anti-microbial Trioxolane is effective at strengthening immunity by restoring your oxygen fighting power. As a result, it helps in healing internal infections, auto-immune conditions, and topical fungal and bacterial infections.
