“The choice of vehicle is an important consideration in acne therapy. Because the epidermal barrier may be impaired by both the underlying disorder and the use of some topical treatments for acne, vehicle formulations that minimize barrier impairment, help to restore barrier function, and limit signs and symptoms of skin irritation are valuable components of acne therapy, especially early in the course of treatment or with combination regimens.
…[E]mollient dimethicone has been shown to improve skin tolerability and overall patient preference compared with the same active ingredients formulated without the special additives that provide moisturization.”
Doctors at the University of Louisville School of Medicine performed a study using dimethicone on subjects with “… chronic hand dermatitis for at least 12 months, felt to be either allergic, irritant, or combined in nature. Topical corticosteroid usage was reduced 54%. No adverse effects were noted. 70% had improved over the course of the study. Dimethicone “… greatly or moderately improved chronic hand dermatitis in a sizable number of individuals with previously uncontrolled dermatitis despite continuing in their regular occupation.”
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
This nutrient has very strong anti-inflammatory properties which cause a significant improvement in acne. By reducing inflammation, niacinamide decreases leukocyte peroxidase enzymes that lead to localized skin damage and thereby improves the appearance of the skin. It helps suppress inflammation caused by white blood cells when triggered by antigens.
Along with other all natural ingredients, Vitamin B3 and Dimethicone is proven to improve skin acne, by reducing inflammation and hastening the healing process of your skin.
