Topical Treatments Are Not the Answer to Adult Acne

Adult acne is a common issue that plagues many individuals long after their teenage years. While the market is flooded with topical treatments promising clear skin, these solutions often fall short of delivering long-lasting results. The truth is, adult acne is a complex condition that requires more than just surface-level treatments. This is where the Zilch Formulas steps in, offering a holistic approach to managing acne from the inside out by addressing disharmonies such as inflammation, toxicity, stress, hormonal imbalances and poor gut health. 

What are topical treatments?

Topical treatments are often the first line of defence that people reach out to battle acne. These products are applied directly to the skin and come in various forms, including:

• Creams and Lotions: Designed to moisturise and treat the skin simultaneously, often containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to target acne directly.
• Gels and Serums: Lighter than creams, these are often used for their fast-absorbing properties and concentrated ingredients.
• Cleansers and Toners: Used to remove dirt, oil, and makeup, these products often contain active ingredients to combat acne while cleansing the skin.

The Limitations of Topical Treatments

Topical treatments are designed to work on the skin's surface. They aim to reduce oil production, unclog pores, and eliminate acne-causing bacteria. However, these treatments do not address the internal factors that contribute to acne, such as hormonal imbalances, stress, and dietary triggers. Furthermore, many topical products contain harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin, leading to redness, dryness, and peeling, which can exacerbate the problem rather than solve it.

Common Ingredients in Topical Acne Treatments

• Benzoyl Peroxide: Kills bacteria responsible for acne but can be overly drying and lead to skin irritation and peeling.
• Salicylic Acid: Helps to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores but may not be effective against the deeper, hormonal causes of adult acne.
• Retinoids: Derived from vitamin A, these compounds aim to promote cell turnover and prevent clogging of pores but can cause skin sensitivity and irritation.
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): Exfoliate the outer layer of the skin to improve texture and appearance but may not penetrate deep enough to address the root causes of acne.

While these components can offer symptom relief, they often do not address the underlying internal factors contributing to acne. Furthermore, the continuous use of these products can lead to skin sensitisation, making the skin more susceptible to irritation and damage.

The Shortcomings of Topical Treatments

The main downside with topical treatments lies in their surface-level strategy and their inability to address the internal imbalances that lead to acne. Factors such as hormones, diet, stress, and gut health play a significant role in the development of acne, and topical treatments simply cannot rectify these internal processes. As a result, while they may provide temporary relief or improvement in skin appearance, they do not stop the ongoing cycle of acne breakouts.

In light of these limitations, it becomes clear why a more comprehensive approach, like that offered by Zilch Formulas, is essential for effectively managing and treating adult acne. By addressing the condition from the inside out, Zilch Formula provides a holistic and lasting solution to acne, transcending the superficial relief offered by topical treatments.
