An “inside-out” approach to hair, skin, and nail health through high-quality collagen, biotin, and antioxidant research.
In Brief Safety: “Fungal acne” (Malassezia folliculitis) looks exactly like clogged pores but worsens with traditional acne treatments (antibiotics). If your bumps itch, avoid oils and heavy creams immediately. Effectiveness: Textured skin is usually a buildup of dead cells…
In Brief Safety: A compromised barrier is an open door for bacteria. If your skin is oozing, yellow-crusted, or extremely hot to the touch, you may have developed a secondary staph infection (impetigo). See a dermatologist immediately. Effectiveness: Skin…
In Brief Safety: Using anti-acne products (like benzoyl peroxide) on fungal acne can worsen the infection by killing the beneficial bacteria that keep the fungus in check. Misdiagnosis leads to prolonged skin barrier damage. Effectiveness: Fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis)…
In Brief Safety: Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) is non-toxic and non-irritating, even for sensitive skin conditions like eczema or rosacea. It naturally occurs in your white blood cells, making allergic reactions extremely rare. Effectiveness: Clinical studies show it kills 99.9%…
In Brief Safety: Sarsasapogenin, the active phytosterol in Volufiline, interacts with fat cells but does not bind to estrogen receptors. It is considered safe for topical use, though the base oil (often hydrogenated polyisobutene) can cause breakouts in acne-prone…
In Brief Safety: Topical collagen is generally safe but can be comedogenic (pore-clogging) if the formulation includes heavy occlusives like mineral oil or dimethicone to fake a “plumping” effect. Acne-prone skin should proceed with caution. Effectiveness: The “500 Dalton…
In Brief Safety: “Fungal Acne” is actually Malassezia Folliculitis (yeast), not bacteria. Treating it with antibiotics or heavy oils will make it explode. You must verify every ingredient against a “Fungal Acne Safe” database. Effectiveness: Clinical data shows that…
In Brief Safety: Retinol is notorious for the “purge” and skin barrier damage if rushed. Exosomes are biological products. You must ensure they are purified and screening-tested to avoid potential pathogen transmission. Effectiveness: Clinical data suggests Exosomes speed up…
In Brief Safety: Retinyl Palmitate is fat-soluble and accumulates in the liver. Doses over 10,000 IU can be toxic and are strictly forbidden during pregnancy due to birth defect risks. Effectiveness: DIM targets the hormonal root (androgens) of sebum,…
In Brief Safety: Vitamin A is effective but fat-soluble. High doses can become toxic to the liver. Do not take more than 10,000 IU daily without medical supervision. Effectiveness: Clinical studies show that oral Zinc can reduce inflammatory acne…
