Description:

Acne Vulgaris is one of the most common skin conditions affecting nearly 85% of adolescents.

Tiny non inflammatory acne lesions may not be more than a minor annoyance, but many suffer from the harsher inflammatory nodular acne with accompanying redness, soreness and possible scarring.

Acne starts as a microscopic lesion called the microcomedo. This lesion is characterised by follicular plugging of the duct of a pilosebaceous unit which consists of a hair follicle and a sebaceous gland. Sebum is produced in the pilosebaceous unit and when some of it is trapped beneath the keratin plug along with more keritanaceous material, this results in an enlargement of the follicle.

At this stage, despite this follicular plugging, apart from the natural hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands, there are no obvious signs of Acne or inflammation and neither is there any proliferation of the Propionibacterium Acnes Bacteria.

As these early lesions increase, they progress into a non inflamed closed or open comedo - either a whitehead or blackhead.

In time, these comedo may be attacked by bacteria, predominantly the Propionibacterium Acnes Bacteria, which in turn leads to larger inflammatory lesions such as papules, pustules and nodular cystic lesions characteristic of Acne.

The causes of Acne are still uncertain, but the strongest leads implicate androgen hormones, alterations to follicular linoleic acid levels, genetic predisposition, stress and diet.

SPRINGFIELD NUTRA F2f FACE TO FACE WITH PRAVENTIN is a bioactive complex rich in bovine Lactoferrin designed to reduce blemishes and inflammation associated with Acne and promotes a healthy complexion from within.

Results from studies of American Teenagers aged 13 to 19 with Acne taking SPRINGFIELD NUTRA F2f FACE TO FACE WITH PRAVENTIN over a twelve week period, evaluated for blackheads, closed comedones, papules, pustules, nodulocystic lesions and blemishes have been shown to be quite dramatic.

Blackhead levels were reduced by 64% by Week 2, by 74% by Week 4, and by 97% by Week 8. Similarly, non blackhead closed comedones, papules, pustules, nodulocystic lesions were reduced by 33% in Week 2, by 73% by Week 4, and by 100% by Week 8.

The level of blemishes was also reduced with a 44% reduction by Week 2, a 71% reduction by Week 4 and a 95% reduction by Week 8.

The reductions reported were regardless of how severe the initial levels of acne nor were they affected by gender and not only reduced Acne of the face, but Acne around the back and upper arms as well.

So how does PRAVENTIN work?

The active agent in PRAVENTIN is LACTOFERRIN, an iron binding glycoprotein with anti microbial, anti inflammatory and anti oxidant properties.

LACTOFERRIN exerts an anti microbial effect towards the Propionibacterium Acnes and other Acne forming Bacteria, exerts anti inflammatory effects in the skin and exerts its anti acne activity by preventing the oxidation of squalene, a compound of skin lipids.

Apart from supporting the reduction of Acne, the studies showed that subjectively this also had a dramatic effect on the overall well being, self esteem and confidence of the adolescents suffering from Acne.

In contrast to conventional systemic and topical therapies based on antibiotics, retinoids and other compounds, SPRINGFIELD NUTRA F2f FACE TO FACE WITH PRAVENTIN supplementation is not accompanied by side effects and works fast from the inside out, not only to reduce Acne, but to promote skin healing, recovery and a clear and healthy skin complexion.
