Skin Care Basics

Skintactix:
America's advanced acne treatment developed by a dermatologist and a biochemist. Controls acne in over 90% of cases with guaranteed results.

Our knowledge of the biochemistry of acne has grown rapidly in the past few years, and Skintactix is one of the few companies that has used this information to develop quick and effective acne products. This website has the most current and comprehensive information on the Internet about acne and acne related issues. It will help you make educated decisions and achieve control of your acne or related skin conditions.

How To Use This Website:
Begin with the "Skin Conditions and Treatments" section above and to the left, that apply to you. These pages will explain the science of the treatment and suggest the product selections that would be appropriate for you. Next, progress to the subjects under the other headings for suggestions and factors that may be promoting your acne and acne related conditions that may be damaging your skin. Be sure to visit the Acne Cure Progress page to review photographs of Skintactix acne treatment and how it typically progresses. The Acne Tips page is also very helpful. When ready, go to the Order Form link at the top of each page.

Identify Your Condition

Acne Vulgaris:
1. Infections raise to pustules (pus filled pimples) on
      the surface of the skin.
2. The pustules usually discharge this white pus.
3. Blackheads, cysts and papules may or may not be
      present.
4. Occurs on the face, upper and lower back and
      upper chest.
5. Some cystic acne conditions (see below) may also   occur, but most infections raise to pustules.

Cystic Acne:
1. Deep infections that are nodule or cyst-like.
2. Infections do not raise to the surface and do not
discharge their infection waste material.
3. Blackheads and whiteheads may or may not be
present.
4. Infections heal very slowly and scarring is possible.

Acne Rosacea:
1. A combination of rosacea and acne and the rosacea
     should be diagnosed by a physician.
2. Rosacea is characterized by periodic redness of the
     skin, usually on the cheeks and spreading across
     the nose.
3. In more advanced cases flare-ups occur, followed by
     crusty skin and excessive flaking.

Blackheads:
Blackheads are a combination of oils, sebum and cellular fragments that form firm to hard plugs within hair follicles. Blackheads are open to the skin's surface and become darkened at the surface by exposure to oxygen. When bacteria is added to these plugs, the condition can lead to acne.

Whiteheads:
Whiteheads are a combination of oils, sebum and cellular fragments that form firm to hard plugs within the follicles. They are usually deep in the skin and may or may not rise to the surface. Because they are not exposed to oxygen they remain white or yellow-white, rather than dark brown like blackheads. When bacteria is added to these plugs the condition can lead to acne.

Adult Acne:
Adult acne refers to acne that begins or continues into the adult years and it is not necessarily different from juvenile acne. Refer to Acne Vulgaris and Cystic Acne above to determine the correct form of acne.
