Seaweed Extracts: Pimples .... No Problem


Pimples and Acne breakouts is one of life's little irritants and a main result in for loss of self esteem and self worth for our youth. Occurring at any age, but commonly inside your teenage year's Zits and Acne breakouts is one from the most frustrating skin conditions you can have.

Pimples and Pimple is caused by excessive oils on your epidermis that clog your pores and eventually will result in an infection, which produces the pimple with its redness and swelling. A blackhead is merely a pore that has been partially plug by oils or dead skin but still remains open and doesn't have an infection.

An active ingredient from a brown seaweed, off the coast of Brittany, may help kill pimples and oily skin.

Hoisted up from the seabed and converted into an extract for acne treatment, it goes on sale across Britain.

Human trials have shown that the seaweed extract cream had a positive impact, said the manufacturer, reports the Daily Mail.

It said in a trial of 60 males aged 12 to 24 with mild acne, products containing seaweed extract were significantly more effective than a dummy face wash, scrub or gel.

Enzo Berardesca, a director at the Instituto Dermatolgico San Gallicano in Italy who supervised the trial, described the results as 'extremely good'.

'Patients with mild to moderate acne, such as blackheads, whiteheads and skin redness, found their symptoms markedly reduced,' he added. Most importantly, there were no side effects.
