Allergan Aesthetics is launching two new products from SkinMedica, the SkinMedica Acne Clarifying Treatment and SkinMedica Pore Purifying Gel Cleanser.
In clinical studies, participants who used the SkinMedica Acne Clarifying Treatment and Pore Purifying Gel Cleanser noticed clearer skin while reporting that the products did not dry their skin out. Additionally, clinical study participants noted the treatment regimen helped calm their skin.
The SkinMedica Acne Clarifying Treatment is formulated with 2% encapsulated salicylic acid. The product also includes niacinamide and bakuchiol.
The SkinMedica Pore Purifying Cleanser is infused with salicylic acid and antioxidants and soothing botanicals like aloe and chamomile.
“Navigating the challenges posed by acne can be difficult, and most acne products are effective at targeting acne but ignore the impact of the ingredients on the skin barrier,” says Mona Gohara, MD, a dermatologist and associate clinical professor at Yale University in New Haven, CT. “My patients often find themselves in a bind when choosing acne products that treat acne but don’t compromise the skin barrier. I am excited to offer my patients these new products from SkinMedica, which focus on sebum regulation and barrier protection to create a desirable balance of low irritation with strong efficacy.”
The two products, along with the SkinMedica Pore Purifying Pro-Infusion Serum, used in-office with DiamondGlow, complete the acne treatment protocol. DiamondGlow is a general dermabrasion device that gently removes the top layer of skin and delivers topical cosmetic serums onto the skin.
