How do Retinoids and Antibiotics work?
Retinoids work by promoting cell turnover and preventing the plugging of the hair follicle. Oral antibiotics kill P. acnes bacteria and reduce inflammation. Topical antibiotics can kill bacteria on the skin’s surface and fight inflammation. How do Skin Care Systems work? Many acne skin care treatments use benzoyl peroxide which can dry up the oil, kill bacteria and promote sloughing of dead skin cells. The Obagi CLENZIderm system is a three step system which uses a breakthrough formula of benzoyl peroxide that penetrates the pores deeply and achieves clearer skin in as little as two weeks.
