How Biological Antibiotics Works In The Fight Against Acne

Some types of bacteria change and become resistant to known chemical antibiotics. Bacteria, like all life forms, obey the simple guides of natural selection. Genetic variations that help an organism survive and reproduce in an adverse environment will be inherited to its sons and thus become more dominant. Bacteria cells can divide every 20 minutes; therefore, genetic change is very fast for them. Since even the most simple bacteria become resistant to antibiotics within 2 to 3 months, acne patients face repeated visits to the dermatologist for new antibiotic prescriptions. Darwinism, or "survival of the fittest," has originated micro-organisms which cannot be eliminated by regular antibiotics.


Researches made by several dermatologists have revealed that acne-causing bacteria, called Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), have created strains that endure treatment by both systemic and topical types of erythromycin, the active ingredient in many prescription acne medications.
Other studies have shown that at least one out of four acne sufferers have some types of P. acnes which are resistant to tetracycline, erythromycin and clindamycin and are less responsive to minocycline and doxycycline than before. The medical significance is not completely clear in those who have small numbers of resistant strains, but can be linked with treatment failure in those with high quantities of resistant P. acnes.
Natural Antimicrobial Action
The natural antibiotics in the snail slime have continued to be effective in destroying bacteria that attacks the skin of the snail (similar to our skin) for tens of thousands of years.
By blocking the bacterial pathway to the blood stream, the snail's mucins allow your immune system to heal the damage in an environment similar to that in which a fractured bone heals inside your body.
The effectiveness of some natural skin care products is due to profound penetrating into the middle layer of the skin (the dermis), of it's biological ingredients contained naturally in the secretions of land snails. They are powerful biologically active protein enzymes, copper peptides, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans that act as biological activators of both the removal of dead and flawed skin cells and the renewal of healthy cells. They eliminate dead cells, kills pathogens, heal and rejuvenate damaged tissue. They nourish your skin and defend it against free radicals. Enhance the skin's elasticity, and leaves it silky soft and soothed.
Once inside the follicle the glycoproteins will promote the synthesis of new elastic fibers, collagen and pigment, filling in scar cavities. It will also shrink and replace the old fibrous collagen formed to repair damaged tissues. Soon new 'invisible' hair, known as lanugo, will come through the restored hair follicles in those areas. It will also "pump" up the cells and the "ground substances" in the skin. That also minimizes wrinkles on the surface of the skin.
