Acne After Twenty—How it can affect you into middle age

Acne After Twenty—How it can affect you into middle age

 

If you think you’ve escaped acne forever once your teenage years are gone, think again. Acne isn’t only a problem faced by teenagers these days! Believe it or not, acne can persist throughout an entire person’s life and is a common problem among middle-aged women especially.

 

According to a study at the Massachusetts General Hospital, “45% of women aged 21-30, 26% aged 31-40, and 12% aged 41-50 had clinical acne.” Those are quite shocking numbers for a disorder that is commonly considered as affecting teens only.

 

There are many factors that can contribute to acne, but no one quite knows what causes acne in adults. Factors such as diet, amount of skin oil production, hormones and stress can all influence acne severity.

 

Doctors suspect that hormones may be the leading cause of acne in middle aged women. “As women age, their levels of androgens [the male hormone that is present in both men and women] rise,” says Dr. Bethanee Jean Schlosser, assistant professor of dermatology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.

 

At SkinB5, we get emails from middle aged people suffering from acne all the time. They ask if SkinB5 can help adult acne and if it will really work. We don’t blame them for being sceptical. After years of trying virtually every acne medication under the sun with little to no results, we would be sceptical too!

 

The great news for acne sufferers (especially middle-aged ones) is that with SkinB5, acne doesn’t have to rule your life anymore. SkinB5 DOES work for all ages and treats acne despite the cause. Especially for older users concerned about hormone induced acne, SkinB5 helps to regulate androgens (male hormones), in turn reducing acne.

 

Apart from treating hormonal acne, SkinB5 also helps reduce stress, boost the immune system and regulate skin oil levels; three additional factors that can cause or increase acne severity.

 

As a matter of fact, we just got a testimonial from a middle aged acne sufferer…here it is:

 

"At 41 years of age I've suffered with acne for over 20 years. In this time I have tried everything to cure it. From roaccutane, anti-biotic, contraceptive pill, complete diet changes, supplements, apple cider vinegar, raw potato & every topical cream & face wash. I have spent thousands & thousands of dollars. A few years ago my acne progressed in to Cystic acne. I decided I had nothing to lose trying SkinB5 and to my great surprise my acne has lessened significantly. My acne was stubborn and it did take around 5 months for me to really notice a difference. I am delighted to say that Skin B5 really does work. It has changed my life. Thank you SkinB5."

No matter your age, it’s never too late to get acne-free! Say goodbye to acne forever and see the difference for yourself with SkinB5!

The B5 Skin Secret

The B5 Skin Secret

 

Food and energy supplements aren’t the only things sporting Vitamin B5 as an ingredient these days! If you look closely, you might have noticed that your hair conditioner, shampoo and face lotion all contain Vitamin B. Vitamin B5 is found in many foods and is an essential part of a healthy diet, however, it was only recently discovered that this same vitamin can be used topically and possesses many skin healing benefits!

 

Taken internally, Vitamin B5 helps boost the immune system, manage stress and increase energy. It also boosts skin health and regulates the amount of oil produced by the skin, making it a powerful natural acne treatment. When applied topically, Vitamin B5 (also known as Panthenol) can help increase skin health and wellbeing. It is commonly used to treat burns, bruises, wounds, rashes and ulcers. A recent study (University of Maryland Medical Centre) showed that using Vitamin B5 as a topical treatment after surgery can help minimise scarring and reduce skin healing time greatly.

 

All of the benefits of Vitamin B5 are not fully known, but research continues to suggest that it is a powerful skin supplement when used both internally and externally! Next time you’re shopping for face lotion or skin products, be sure to check the label for Vitamin B5.

 

Additional skin benefits of topical Vitamin B5 include:

 

• Faster wound healing
• Improved appearance to ageing skin
• Improved barrier function
• Helps skin maintain moisture

Why Doesn’t SkinB5 Come in Liquid Form?

Why Doesn’t SkinB5 Come in Liquid Form?

 

That’s a great question that we get asked quite frequently! We’ve spent years researching the best ways to treat and eliminate acne using Vitamin B5 in the most effective manner, and the bottom line is that liquid Vitamin B5 DOESNT WORK!

 

All vitamins have different properties. Some are absorbed best by the body in liquid form, some are best in solid (tablet) form, and others require additional factors (such as Vitamin D requiring sunlight) in order to work.

 

Vitamin B5 specifically is not stable in liquid form. That means that if we made SkinB5 (or any Vitamin B5 supplement) in a liquid form, the vitamins would dissolve in the liquid and lose their potency over a series or days or weeks. Eventually, after you had your liquid B5 sitting on the shelf or in the fridge over a period of time, it would be nothing but flavoured water and not beneficial to treating acne at all!

 

We have designed our SkinB5 clear skin formulation to provide the BEST acne fighting benefits using the LOWEST dosage of Vitamin B5. How did we do this? We combined the Vitamin B5 with seven other powerful acne fighting and skin health boosting vitamins and minerals to cure acne and promote skin health in a variety of different ways.

 

There are lots of Vitamin B5 based acne supplements on the market, but they’re nothing more than Vitamin B5. Many require that you take up to 10 grams of Vitamin B5. This won’t harm you, but it will definitely give you some undesirable side effects like diarrhoea!

 

SkinB5 acne tablets contain ONLY 3 grams of Vitamin B5 a day, combined with other essential skin health ingredients to help get rid of acne FAST and give you healthier, smoother skin.

 

If you’re shopping around for an acne supplement, be sure to read the label to find out what you’re really putting into your body and avoid mega dosing (10 g a day) or liquid B5 formulations!

SkinB5 Tablets Celebrate 1 Year Anniversary!

SkinB5 Tablets Celebrate 1 Year Anniversary!

 

It has been one year since the release of SkinB5’s new Acne Control Extra Strength Tablets formulation, and sales and praise from users continue to rise.

 

The highly popular Vitamin B5 based acne supplement was reformulated to enhance potency, make the tablets more easily absorbed by the body and to contain copper and silicon; two key ingredients to promote skin health and renewal.  The reformulation also means that SkinB5 is now the highest quality and most effective Vitamin B5 based acne product on the market.

 

“When we started getting feedback from users that the original formulation was effective at clearing acne, I thought, ‘we want to further enhance the effectiveness and potency of our formulation, and what if we added ingredients that not only cured acne, but helped to promote skin healing and overall skin health once the acne was gone,’” states Judy Cheung, Creator and Managing Director of SkinB5.

 

SkinB5 users surely haven’t complained about the reformulation. “After just 3 weeks of taking the Tablets my skin is almost clear and I have no more painful acne or whiteheads,” writes Lisa, a SkinB5 customer from Australia. “After I started taking the Tablets, my skin got clearer. I had fewer embedded blackheads/whiteheads.  My skin was less clogged up and the inflamed acne was a lot less. It’s been a while since I’ve started taking SkinB5.  I wear a lot less makeup and I’m really happy about how my skin looks now,” writes Suwathi from Singapore.

 

Thanks to the reformulation, SkinB5 Extra Strength Tablets not only clear acne, blackheads and whiteheads, but benefit overall skin health by reducing healing time, increasing elasticity and promoting skin cell regeneration.

 

For these reasons, customers keep coming back to SkinB5 Extra Strength Tablets even after their acne is long gone.

 

Several customers have even reported using SkinB5 to help manage skin conditions such as rosacea and blotchiness and to give their skin a more youthful appearance. While SkinB5 does not endorse its formulation for anything other than treatment of acne, the benefits of having healthier skin are limitless!  Other benefits of the SkinB5 Extra Strength Tablets include stronger immune system, improved energy level, better mood, and reduced stress.

Have you seen SkinB5 around lately?

Have you seen SkinB5 around lately? 

 

Take another look, because SkinB5 products are expanding into health food stores and select dermatologist, general practitioner and professional skin clinics around the world.

 

Of course we will still continue selling online, but you can now grab an emergency bottle of Extra Strength Tablets at a retailer near you within hours of that pimple popping up!

 

SkinB5 is currently the most popular Vitamin B5 based acne supplement on the market, and is gaining endorsement among many doctors and dermatologists as their preferred treatment for all types of acne.

 

“Imbalances within your body can cause you sebum glands to over produce oil which is a common cause of acne. To counteract this problem, SkinB5 has developed a highly advanced acne supplement which delivers key acne clearing nutrients to the body when needed,” states Dr. Alfonso Messieh, a leading medical practitioner and member of the Tasmanian Medical Board. “SkinB5 Acne Relief’s combination of essential B Vitamins, Vitamin A and Zinc work from within to reduce acne and prevent further breakouts.”

 

Many of our customers have tried every acne treatment on the market including prescription drugs, chemical face peels, with minimal results, or unbearable side effects. They are often overjoyed and relieved to find SkinB5, an alternative internal acne treatment that REALLY works and has no side-effects.

 

“We understand how much of an influence acne can have on the social and emotional aspects of someone’s life, and we want to send the message to acne sufferers in despair that you CAN get your life back!” says Judy, SkinB5’s creator and director.

 

Not only is SkinB5 based on a 100% natural formulation that REALLY works, our products are all made in Australia and we are the only alternative Vitamin B5 based acne treatment that is approved by the Australian Government. We never test on animals, all of our products are vegetarian and the Tablets, Cleanser, Moisturiser and Mask are vegan too!

 

So, go ahead pop a couple SkinB5 Tablets, or find some at your local health food store to try out!

SkinB5 Launches into Dermatology Clinics Globally

 

Medical researchers and health professionals have long aware the acne fighting power of Vitamin B5, but it wasn’t until recently that the first B5 based all natural acne treatment came out on the market. SkinB5—an internal supplement based on the acne-fighting properties of Vitamin B5 is currently the most well-known internal alternative acne treatment in Australia and its reputation is fast spreading.

 

Previously only available for purchase online, SkinB5 products are expanding into dermatologist offices, general practitioner clinics and professional skin clinics around the world. Skin care professionals are endorsing the powerful Vitamin B5 based formulation of SkinB5 and its extreme acne fighting powers.

 

“Most of our customers have tried every acne product on the market with little to no results. Naturally, they get quite emotional when they try SkinB5 with typical scepticism of acne products and they actually see real results,” said Judy Cheung, SkinB5 Managing Director. “Our customers hence are very loyal to us because unlike other acne products, our products ACTUALLY WORK and acne sufferers can finally get their lives back.”

 

Dermatologists and skin professionals are turning to and recommending SkinB5 as an alternative treatment for acne. Individuals suffering from cystic acne no longer have to rely on prescription drugs with unbearable side effects and invasive topical skin procedures. SkinB5’s Acne Control Extra Strength Tablets effectively clear all types of acne with no side effects.

 

SkinB5 users have been proclaiming SkinB5’s powerful acne clearing properties all over social media and the internet. “My skin is by no means perfect… but I have my life back. I can look in the mirror, and go out and not feel like a monster…having my self-esteem back is helping my healing journey dramatically,” writes Isabella, one SkinB5 user.

 

SkinB5 is gaining ground fast as a leading acne treatment, particularly amongst Asian countries where skincare, beauty rituals are image are central to the culture. “South Korea is one of the fastest growing markets for SkinB5 making up a total 20% of global sales,” states Cheung. South Korean men are diligently participating in SkinB5 skincare routines, just as much as women! This is a major feat for SkinB5 in a market primarily dominated by women.

 

SkinB5’s flagship product, Acne Control Extra Strength Tablets is based on extensive research and innovative combination of Vitamin B5 and seven other natural vitamins and minerals. The formulation works by regulating sebum (skin oil) production, eventually eliminating acne. Excess sebum clogs pores creating whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and fostering excess bacteria growth. When sebum is reduced to normal levels acne is not present. SkinB5’s formulation also contains nutrients that help balance the hormones which can be a main cause of acne.

 

Unlike topical acne applications, SkinB5 works from within to treat the problem where it starts.

 

“Being able to offer an effective and safe solution to despair teens, young adults and their parents makes us very happy and we like to think that SkinB5 helps make the world a happier, prettier place!” comments Cheung.

SkinB5—an internal supplement based on the acne-fighting properties of Vitamin B5 is currently the most well-known internal alternative acne treatment in Australia and its reputation is fast spreading, being the acne treatment of choice in over 13 countries outside of Australia, particularly South Korea and USA are amongst the fastest growing markets for SkinB5.

 

SkinB5 users have been proclaiming SkinB5’s powerful acne clearing properties all over social media and the internet. “My skin is by no means perfect… but I have my life back. I can look in the mirror, and go out and not feel like a monster…having my self-esteem back is helping my healing journey dramatically,” writes Isabella, one SkinB5 user.

 

“The emotional effects of acne are tremendous! Persistent acne problem could lead to depression, low self-esteem and fear of bullying and ridicule by peers. Most of our customers have tried every acne treatment on the market, including prescription drug and other topical treatments, with no results or unbearable side effects. Our customers get quite emotional when they try SkinB5 with typical scepticism of acne products and to their surprise they actually see real results,” said Judy Cheung, SkinB5 Managing Director, “Our customers hence are very loyal to us because unlike other acne products, our products ACTUALLY WORK and acne sufferers can finally get their lives back.

Unlike topical acne applications, SkinB5 works from within to treat the problem where it starts.

 

“There are several Vitamin B5 based acne supplements on the market, but do your research before you buy,” warns Cheung. “Many of these acne pills contain extremely high levels of Vitamin B5—upwards of ten grams a day or 20 capsules. While B5 is usually not toxic at these high levels, it is water soluble, meaning the majority of the dosage will be rejected by your body and not helpful in treating acne, plus at these extremely high levels of B5 ingested diarrhoea will be experienced.”

 

Combined with supporting ingredients, SkinB5 is able to effectively cure acne with a relatively low dosage of maximum three grams of Vitamin B5 per day. This is equivalent to the dosage of Vitamin B5 for acne treatment recommended in the Physician’s Handbook of Clinical Nutrition.

 

Another common B5 acne supplement is sold in liquid form. While this is not dangerous, B Vitamins are highly unstable in liquid form, which means after only a few months the supplement would have no potency left.

 

Individuals respond different to all kinds of acne treatments, and finding the right one can take time and some experimentation. “Just be patient and diligent with your SkinB5 complete acne care regime,” recommends Cheung, “clear skin and a happy, confident life is priceless!”

Aloe Vera Natural Acne Treatment

Aloe Vera Acne Remedy

 

Aloe Vera is a miracle plant! You may have used it to treat a sunburn before, or have heard of its healing properties, but what not many people know is that it also doubles as an effective natural acne treatment. Our SkinB5 cleanser and moisturiser are packed with Aloe, but a little more in your skincare routine can only help. Here are some do it yourself tips to harness the acne-destroying powers of Aloe Vera!

 

1. Apply Aloe to problem areas. If you’ve ever used Aloe to treat sunburned skin, you are surely aware of its cooling sensation. But why put the Aloe gel away when the sunburn is gone? Try rubbing Aloe Vera on acne lesions or breakout areas before going to bed and in the morning. It will reduce swelling, inflammation and redness while making your skin feel cool and soft.

 

2. Drink it up! Aloe can be applied externally to treat problem spots on the skin, but its benefits don’t stop there. Drinking Aloe juice can further its skin soothing and anti-acne benefits. Start out with 2-4 ounces, twice a day. You can purchase Aloe juice at health food stores (be sure to check the concentration and purity) or make your own with a few Aloe leaves and a juicer.

 

3. Take it from the source. Like any natural substance, the purer your Aloe Vera is the more effective it will be as a natural acne treatment. The best Aloe comes straight from the source; the Aloe plant. You can easily pick a leave, wash the surface and cut the skin off revealing pure Aloe goodness ready for topical application or juicing. If you don’t have access to an Aloe plant, Aloe Vera gel and juice can be purchased at many specialty stores. Look for a brand with a pure concentration of Aloe (97% or more) and no added sugar.

Why do Koreans LOVE SkinB5?

SkinB5 products are flying off the shelves in South Korea, and they are quickly becoming one of our top-selling countries. We’re ecstatic, but also curious as to why such a small country is using so much SkinB5. Do they have overly acne-prone skin? Is an affiliate running a largely successful marketing campaign in South Korea? Or are the Koreans just obsessed with skin products?

 

We recently came across an article in the local Melbourne MX paper that put all of our questions to rest. The title of the article was, “Real Men are Just Made Up,” and it discussed the cosmetics industry in South Korea, and its growing influence on men.

 

We always knew that cosmetics, skin care products and beauty products were extremely popular among Asian women in Asia, but it looks like Asian men are now jumping on board the beauty trend! According to MX Melbourne, South Korea has become the male make-up capital of the world, with men spending $427 million last year on make-up alone, accounting for 21% of global sales! That’s a lot of makeup!

 

In an MX interview with Seoul local, Cho Gil-nam he stated, “I can understand why girls don’t like to go outside without make-up – it makes a big difference.” MX reported men carrying around makeup bags and touching up throughout the day in the bathroom.

 

Not only are Korean men wearing make-up, but they are also involved in daily skin cleansing and moisturising routines. With this skincare and beauty obsession, it’s no wonder SkinB5 is so popular, because Clear Skin does start from WITHIN! Not only do our SkinB5 products fight acne, but they are also formulated to promote healthy, smooth skin with even tone, and they work equally well in men and women.

 

Our word to the wise? Watch out, ladies! We’re all about guys using SkinB5, but borrowing your eye liner pencil? Now maybe that’s crossing the line.
