Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ
Acne-prone skin can be exceptionally demanding.
On one hand, there is excess sebum, shine, blackheads, and imperfections. On the other hand, it can be easily over-dried, irritated, and lead to a situation where instead of improvement, we experience even greater discomfort. Therefore, effective care for problematic skin should not solely consist of cleansing. Balance is needed. DERMA ACNE+ is a professional line created specifically for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. Its action focuses on several needs simultaneously: limiting excessive sebum production, reducing imperfections, cleansing the skin, and soothing inflammation and irritation. This is important because problematic skin does not need 'punishment' for producing too much sebum. It needs a well-chosen therapy that helps it return to balance.
And this is the main premise of the DERMA ACNE+ treatment.
The DERMA ACNE+ formula includes several ingredients that support the most important needs of problematic skin. However, there is no need to remember them all. The most important are their functions.Zinc PCA helps regulate sebum production and supports the care of skin with imperfections. Meanwhile, pear extract is used in the line due to its ability to support the reduction of imperfections while also being soothing and calming. The formula is complemented by ingredients with antibacterial and keratolytic effects. This combination is significant because acne-prone skin needs cleansing, normalization, and soothing at the same time. It is not enough to simply mattify it.
It is also not sufficient to exfoliate it intensively.
A well-planned therapy should take care of all these elements while maintaining an appropriate level of hydration.
One of the most common mistakes in caring for oily and acne-prone skin is the belief that it needs to be dried out as much as possible.
The shinier it is, the stronger the product. The more imperfections, the more intense the cleansing. The more problematic the skin, the more exfoliating products.
The thing is, the skin does not always share our enthusiasm.
Excessive drying can lead to a feeling of tightness, discomfort, and weakening of its natural protective barrier. Therefore, in the DERMA ACNE+ therapy, cleansing and normalization go hand in hand with soothing and moisturizing effects. The manufacturer emphasizes that products from this line should not only reduce sebum production and imperfections but also hydrate, soothe, and calm the skin. This element distinguishes a well-planned care routine from mere 'drying out pimples.' The goal is not a matte skin at all costs. The goal is more hydrated skin with a restored hydrolipid barrier.
Professional therapy can be tailored to the current condition of the skin.
In the case of skin with blackheads, an important element of the procedure may be preparing it for cleansing. The DERMA ACNE+ softening mask helps soften the stratum corneum and unblock pores, making it easier to remove blackheads. The soothing ingredients in it also aim to reduce the risk of irritation during cleansing.
In the subsequent stages, I use normalizing products that support the regulation of sebum production
and improve the appearance of the skin. I apply the active concentrate DERMA ACNE+ directly or introduce it using ultrasound, according to the treatment procedure applied. This allows me to adjust the therapy not only to the skin type but also to its current condition.
Because acne-prone skin does not always look the same.
Sometimes the biggest problem is blackheads.
Sometimes excessive sebum production.
And sometimes redness and irritation.
That’s why one treatment plan shouldn’t be seen as a solution for everyone.
DERMA ACNE+ is primarily intended for skin that is:
oily,
combination,
acne-prone,
with a tendency to excessive sebum production,
with open and closed comedones,
with visible imperfections,
with enlarged and more visible pores.
It can also be a good choice when the skin is both problematic and dehydrated.
This is not at all uncommon. Oily skin can also be dehydrated.
Excessive sebum production does not mean that the skin has the right amount of water. That’s why the care of problematic skin should consider not only sebum
and imperfections but also its comfort and proper hydration.
The goal of the therapy is primarily to improve skin balance and reduce problems related to excessive sebum production and imperfections.
After the treatment, the skin may be:
more thoroughly cleansed,
smoother,
less shiny,
more matte,
calmer and less irritated,
better hydrated,
more uniform in color,
less burdened with blackheads and imperfections.
Regular therapy can also support the prevention of further imperfections. However, it is important to remember that acne is not just a cosmetic problem.
If there are many lesions, they are painful, leave scars, or if inflammation is severe, the cosmetic treatment should not replace a dermatological consultation. Cosmetology can very well support the care of acne-prone skin, but it should not always be the only element of therapy.
Acne-prone skin does not end with puberty.
Many women also struggle with imperfections, blackheads, or excessive sebum production in mature age. Moreover, mature skin can simultaneously show signs of early aging, dryness, or weakened hydrolipid barrier.
And here comes an additional challenge. We certainly do not want to care for thirty-
or forty-year-old skin as if it were still fifteen. It needs normalization
and care for its protective barrier. Therefore, the treatment should be tailored not only to the existing imperfections but to the overall condition of the skin.
Before performing the treatment, I conduct an interview and assess the current state of the skin. Special attention is required for active, severe inflammatory conditions, skin damage, infections, and situations where the client is undergoing dermatological treatment. In such cases, the scope and timing of the treatment are determined individually. It is also worth remembering that DERMA ACNE+ products can be used in various professional procedures, so contraindications also depend on the specific method of treatment. Not every imperfection requires cleansing. And not every acne-prone skin should be intensely exfoliated. Sometimes the best treatment is one that acts more gently but provides exactly what the skin needs at that moment.
Is DERMA ACNE+ only for teenagers?
No. The treatment is intended for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin regardless of age. It may also be suitable for adult skin that still has a tendency to imperfections
and excessive sebum production.
Does the treatment help with blackheads?
Yes. The DERMA ACNE+ line was created, among other things, with skin with open and closed comedones in mind. A softening mask may also be used in the procedure, which prepares the skin for cleansing and facilitates the removal of blackheads.
Will the skin be severely dried after the treatment?
The goal of the therapy is not to dry out the skin. The products in the DERMA ACNE+ line have been developed to support hydration, soothing, and skin comfort along with normalizing and mattifying effects.
Can DERMA ACNE+ be used on combination skin?
Yes. This is one of the skin types for which the DERMA ACNE+ line is intended. However, in the case of combination skin, an individual approach is particularly important, as different areas of the face may have completely different needs.
Can the treatment be performed regularly?
Yes, but the frequency should be tailored to the skin's condition. With regular therapy, the cosmetologist can observe the skin's reaction and appropriately modify subsequent treatments.
Will DERMA ACNE+ cure acne?
The treatment should not be considered as a cure for a dermatological disease. It can support the care of acne-prone skin, reduce imperfections, and improve its appearance, but in cases of severe changes, a dermatological consultation is also recommended.
DERMA ACNE+ by Farmona combines cleansing and normalizing effects with care designed to support hydration, soothing, and comfort of the skin. As a result, the therapy can be helpful both when the main issues are blackheads and excess sebum, and when the skin is simultaneously problematic and prone to irritation.
