Apothederm™ Introduces Acne Clarifying Treatment

Online, July 25, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment, a new product containing SmartPeptides™ and salicylic acid, has joined the company's Skin Brightening line for acne-prone skin.

Formulated to help clean up sebum and minimize pore size, Acne Clarifying Treatment has been developed as a power packed treatment to reduce the appearance of blemishes. Beta hydroxy acid and a peptide that is based on the skin's natural defense system work synergistically to provide gentle, yet effective action.

Developed by Apothederm's parent company, Helix BioMedix, SmartPeptides are a new generation of patented peptides based on key cellular functions. These SmartPeptides mimic the amino acid sequences of the skin's own natural protect and restore functions. Amino acids are the naturally occurring building blocks in the body and are vital to everyday living processes.

Key ingredients found in Apothederm's Acne Clarifying Treatment used to clear up everyday acne-prone skin include:

• Oligopeptide-10, a powerful, patented SmartPeptide that has been shown to help bind cellular toxins.
• Salicylic Acid, a lipid soluble beta-hydroxy acid that easily penetrates pores, helping to reduce sebum build up and pore size while gently exfoliating dead cells.
• Glycerin, a humectant that draws moisture to skin.

The Acne Clarifying Treatment works in conjunction with Apothederm's line of products to brighten skin and fight acne. The line includes Apothederm Brightening Cleanser and Bright Skin Serum, both of which contain SmartPeptides to give new radiance and balance out skin tone for a more even complexion.
