The cooler season we are now going through is a good time to get yourself started on professional anti-acne treatment. All the more so as shikimic acid presents itself as an invaluable tool in your combat with all the trouble your oily or combination skin is causing you. If not yet familiar with this active substance, then it’s high time you caught up on just the thing your skin has needed, and let yourself be pampered with genuinely revived skin, glowing with beautiful, visible results of customized care.

Shikimic acid has so far been primarily utilized in pharmaceutical industry, serving as an intermediate product for antiviral agents, an activator of the biosynthesis of vitamin K, and a mild anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent. However, its potential has also been recently harnessed to address beauty-related issues.

Why?

Because the groundbreaking shikimic acid perfectly matches the needs of trouble-prone skin. It has been shown to alter sebum’s content, and have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effect. It curbs the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria responsible for the formation of acne lesions.

Shikimic acid also helps unlock and clear up the clogged sebaceous glands, thus reducing the occurrence of inflamed pustules and papules.

The additional benefits of shikimic acid can be achieved by combining it with other active substances, such as salicylic acid and Affipore™. The synergistic action of combined shikimic and salicylic acid allows acne lesions to heel more quickly, soothes irritated skin, and tackles inflammation, bacteria and fungi.

Affipore™, in turn, obtained from the leaves of a South African medicinal Barosma betulina plant, has excellent skin-mattifying, smoothing and pore-size reducing qualities. Zinc oxide has been thrown into the mix, if you like, to ensure additional healing, soothing and anti-bacterial benefit for oily and combination skin.

These achievements of present day cosmetology are there for you to successfully treat acne-related issues. Cosmetics that contain shikimic acid as well all the ingredients listed above are part of Arkana’s very own Acne Out Therapy line. Be sure to test it to enjoy beautiful, naturally clear skin year round , from one day to another.
