Acne is a common skin problem. Over 80% of teens suffer from the stuff - hey, you're not alone! As you head into puberty your hormones go crazy! They can set off a bunch of things - including zits! Your skin produces excess oils, called sebum. If the oil can't get out because of a clogged pore then it turns into a zit! Bacteria on the skin begin to thrive in these clogged pores producing acne. Blackheads and Whiteheads occur when a pore is clogged. Blackheads are dark because of pigmentation — not dirt. Don't POP! Popping can spread bacteria, which leads to increased redness, inflammation and possibly scarring of your skin. Be patient, stay with one skin care system. Give the products time to work before you quit using them. Acne isn't caused by dirt so keep your skin clean, but over scrubbing will aggravate skin and make matters worse. Stress can trigger hormones and hormones can make the zits you have worse or cause new ones to pop up. The ZAPZYT products have all the ingredients you need to zap those zits. Oil eliminating & bacteria killing agents like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide unclog pores and kill acne causing bacteria. Soothing Aloe and Chamomile help reduce redness and irritation.
