Many women have the issue of acne only after the event of pregnancy, only to be left wondering how on earth they now have acne when they didn’t have it previously. Often they are told “hormonal”. Often the term hormonal is used because unfortunately most have no clue and simply are trying to guess. It sounds plausible and so we believe it.
So what happens with pregnancy to incite an acne response. It has become known in the last 10 years that when we have a baby some of their cells stay in our body. Studies have shown that immunobiological alterations occur during pregnancy. The phenomenon of perseverance of foetal cells in the mother after pregnancy is known as microchimerism. These foetal cells can cause almost like an autoimmune reaction and increase the amount of interleukin-17 in the body. Even if you had a miscarriage these cells exist in your body.
One of the compounds that is great for immune modulation is Berberine. Berberine is contained in the Chinese plant Coptis Rhizome. It has been shown to exert immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects and direct inhibiting effect on Th17. Coptis Rhizome is found in our Mandelic Serum and our Decongesting Porefection. These are both a yellow colour due to the Coptis Rhizome content.
There are many reasons why acne can occur. There are also many pathways for its occurrence. In order to treat effectively you need to understand from a biological level what is going on.
