PROBLEM SKIN DOES NOT NEED NUTRIENTS FOR BACTERIA – IT IS SO MUCH BACTERIA!
MYTH. Problematic skin is characterized not only by increased activity of the sebaceous glands, but also by an imbalance in its microbiome – in particular, the population of bacteria P.Acnes and Staphylococcus is increasing. The exclusive active ingredient in La Roche-Posay Aqua Posae Filiformis, found in Effaclar DUO(+), for example, helps regulate the microbiome by keeping beneficial bacteria on the surface of the skin.
Effectively exfoliates dead skin cells of the epidermis, promotes skin renewal.

SKIN TYPE AND SKIN DISEASES ARE NOT HEREDITARY
MYTH. Despite the fact that a number of factors affect the condition of the skin, the leading one is hereditary predisposition: structural features of the sebaceous glands, skin thickness, skin microbiome, the balance of which is so important, is similar in composition among members of the same family.
THE SUN POSITIVELY INFLUENCES THE MICROBIOME OF PROBLEM SKIN
MYTH. This is only a visual improvement, which often results in an increase in the number of imperfections. If you stay under the sun for a long time, and even without sunscreen, an excess of ultraviolet radiation can affect the microbial diversity on the skin. At the same time, as a result of increased insolation, the secretion of sebum may increase, which interferes with the process of skin renewal. As a result, the skin responds with the appearance of imperfections.
PATHOGENIC BACTERIA MUST BE DESTROYED TO PROTECT SKIN
MYTH. Balance is the key word for skin wellness. Our skin needs different bacteria. When microbial diversity is compromised, signs of increased skin sensitivity appear.
SKIN MICROBIOME CAN WEIGHT UP TO 3,5 KG
TRUTH. The weight of the microorganisms that make up your skin microbiome ranges from 1,2 to 3,5 kg depending on your weight. This means that a person weighing 90 kg contains up to 3 kg of bacteria. Each cell in the human body is home to approximately 10 bacterial cells.
