------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------
Softening the skin and relieving wrinkles with anti-aging
moisturizers is becoming a welcome and effective method of
treating acne. To date there is a large and growing number of
people, especially adult women, who have benefited from new
techniques that not only reduce acne but also improve aging
skin.

There is connection between anti-aging and acne. In the 1970’s
two Dermatologists, Dr. Eugene Van Scott, and Dr. Albert
Klingman begin investigating vitamin A as an alternative to
benzoyl peroxide for the treatment of acne. Benzoyl peroxide is
the active ingredient in most over-the-counter acne remedies.
such as Proactiv, Clearasil and others. Dr Klingman eventually
developed Retin A, a derivative of vitamin A, and Dr. Van Scott
began working with the structurally similar Alpha Hydroxy Acids
(AHAs). Neither of these researchers attracted much attention
until it was noted that women using these substances for acne
were experiencing a reduction in skin wrinkling. Retin A and
AHAs quickly became most widely used anti-aging skin care
ingredients worldwide.

Acne and Wrinkling share the same problematic skin condition:
excessive undetached dead skin tissue building up on the skin’s
surface. This stiffens the skin. Wrinkles result because a less
flexible outer layer of skin creases the underlying growing
tissue. The skin thus increasingly grows into deeper and more
pronounced lines. Acne results when this dead skin tissue clogs
pores and inhibits the normal passage of oils and moisture,
causing whiteheads or blackheads and eventually pimples. Both
AHAs and Benzoyl peroxide, however, can relieve this condition
by exfoliating this dry outermost layer of the skin.

The problem is that benzoyl peroxide, while it is effective in
removing oil, dries out the skin thus increasing the amount of
dead skin tissue on the surface of the skin. This in turn clogs
pores. For most women however, using moisturizers to relieve
this dryness is not an option. The oils and waxes used in
moisturizers aggravate acne because they compound pore
blockage.

Several companies have worked to solve this problem and have
developed moisturizers for acne prone skin. Murad and Olay have
developed a number of products. At Niora, we have worked to
solve this problem by creating moisturizers formulated with
specially emulsified jojoba oil. Jojoba oil, while intensely
moisturizing, is a fine oil with a far smaller molecular weight
than sebum, or skin oil. Jojoba penetrates these heavier skin
oils, unclogging pores and dissolving nascent blackheads and
whiteheads. Because of Niora’s emulsification process,
dissolved sebum and excess oils rinse free leaving the skin
soft and clean.

These lighter moisturizers can be blended with alpha hydroxy
acids, which in turn exfoliate the skin and work to prevent
excessive tissues from building, back up in the pores.
Typically these types of exfoliating cleansers must be used
daily to be effective, but they replace normal moisturizers and
cleansers and fit easily into most skin care regimes.

These new skin care products thus offer the best of both
worlds: an effective acne treatment that moisturizes the skin
and reduces wrinkling. To date thousands of women have
successfully used these new products demonstrating that the
best acne treatment might well be anti-aging skin care.
