The sebaceous glands normally produce sebum with linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid. This type of sebum has a liquid viscosity. It is calming to the skin and does not promote follicular irritation that leads to plugs. When linoleic acid is not available, the sebaceous glands produce sebum with oleic acid. This oleic form of sebum is irritating to the skin and promotes plugs. Oleic sebum is unable to flow as well as linoleic sebum and therefore is prone to producing hard comedones rather than flowing out of the follicle. This causes blackheads and whiteheads and both of these conditions may lead to acne infections.
The Skintactix treatment for blackheads softens and dissolves comedones or milia, therefore it is important the skin does not become dry or dehydrated for long periods of time. If this occurs it will allow the plugs to harden again which is counter-productive to treatment. People with dry skin should use a moisturizer to prevent the skin from becoming dry. The initial blackhead treatment phase is 2 - 4 weeks and during this time the Blackhead Dissolver must be used twice daily, following cleansing. Blackheads dissolve in 2 - 3 weeks. Apply a small amount of the Blackhead Dissolver, immediately following cleansing with a finger. Do not use cotton or gauze as they may plug follicles. Rub it into the skin lightly to assist penetration into the follicles. After the blackheads have dissolved, the Blackhead Dissolver must be used once daily or once every other day, following cleansing, to maintain the results. During the second or third week of blackhead treatment it may appear there are more blackheads. This is because the blackhead treatment is softening multiple plugs and bringing them to the surface, where they are more visible. The blackhead products are resolving the majority of these developing plugs all at one time and more blackheads (and developing blackheads) are visible. Do not be concerned if this happens. The Blackhead Dissolver should be the first item used following cleansing and then apply other acne products or skin care products. Salicylic acid and benzyl peroxide (frequently used in blackhead treatments) can be counter-productive to softening and dissolving blackheads as they can dehydrate dry, normal and combination skin. Antibacterial Cleanser and Septicide Cleanser do not strip the skin of lipids and do not dehydrate the skin. They effectively cleanse and reduce bacteria to inhibit the development of acne infections.
