Andes Natural Skin Care has come up with a new topical acne treatment serum that is based on the secretions of a snail. This new acne treatment serum is being marketed as an acne treatment as well as a solution to disfiguring acne scars.

Andes Natural Skin Care is a US based company that has recently offered these new topical microdermabrasion products called BioSkinExfol and BioSkinForte made from the serum of a small mollusk snail from the Helix Aspersa Muller species. The research from this company is said to show that the snail serum has molecules, structures and cells similar to those found in human skin, which makes it highly compatible, and an excellent choice to help treat the disfiguring condition of acne.

However, in addition to these wonderful benefits, the new serum is also proven as a powerful antioxidant. This means that it can provide other benefits that you don’t get from a traditional acne treatment serum. This means that this new acne treatment serum is regenerative, which is a vital point in being an effective treatment for acne scars.

In clinical studies, both of these actions were reported to show drastic results. The findings were recently published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Physiology of the Skin. According to Andes Natural Skin Care, this complex serum cannot be replicated through chemical processes. Therefore, only the natural secretion of the snail can be harvested into a natural and organic product to treat acne and related scarring. There is no chemical alternative to this new product.

The snail secretes the serum similar to that of an oyster. This results in Nacre, or an iridescent substance that is more commonly known as mother-of-pearl. After the secretions are collected, they are stabilized through biotechnology methods to guarantee that the enzymes and antioxidants are not degraded through hydrolysis. Thus keeping all the active properties intact to provide the important benefits. Once the ingredients are combined with the right formula the product can effectively control acne by preventing the growth of bacteria while also offering the additional benefits of an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory product.

This new acne treatment serum works for acne scarring by helping to soften and dissolve the existing scars and lesions to improve the damaged tissues while rebuilding collagen and elastin to the levels that they were before the scars developed. The company even claims that this new serum can work for heavy scarring such as the ‘ice-pick’ acne scars that until now can only be effectively treated through surgery. These results are gained through a process known as hydroxylation that helps to remove the dead material in the scar tissue and open the vascular system so that the skin cells can regenerate for better looking skin.
