WHAT IT DOES: The SE Microbiome Complex in our pre-medicated pads specifically targets bad bacteria and feeds the good bacteria on your skin. The good bacteria, armed with nutrients, work to keep your face clear and balanced. HOW IT WORKS: Dermala's acne treatment pads are the first product ever designed to treat acne by supporting healthy skin bacteria. They combine our patented SE Microbiome Complex with salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is a natural compound found in the bark of willow trees. It will exfoliate your skin and prevent acne by eliminating dead skin cells. Dermala's SE Microbiome Complex contains prebiotics and microbiome metabolites that are naturally produced on your skin. These compounds selectively kill bad acne causing bacteria while promoting the growth of good bacteria on your skin, thus helping you fight acne naturally with long-lasting effects. As a result, your pimples will heal faster with less inflammation and pain and less hyper-pigmentation (dark spots) and scarring. With regular use, the good bacteria on your skin will be strong enough to fight the bad acne-causing bacteria thus preventing breakouts.
