How it works

What is the human microbiome?

There are a 100 trillion bacteria living on and in our bodies, 10 times more than human cells.  These bacteria make up the human microbiome. A balanced microbiome containing good bacteria can prevent the growth of bad bacteria and train our immune system to function properly. An imbalance in the skin and gut microbiome may lead to unwanted skin diseases like acne.  

What is acne?

1. Oily Skin
2. Clogged Pores
3. P. acnes
4. Inflammation

Acne has four known disease factors. Acne occurs through a combination of events including the overproduction of oil on the skin, clogging of pores by dead skin cells and overgrowth of the acne-causing bacteria P. acnes resulting in inflammation. Currently available prescription and over-the-counter acne treatments typically address only one out of four acne disease factors which makes them not very effective. They are also based on very harsh chemicals that have side effects and destroy the good bacteria on the skin and in the gut that are important for general health including skin health.  

How is the microbiome related to acne?

At Dermala, we take a completely new approach – we balance the skin and gut microbiome to get rid of acne. Why? Because healthy clear skin can be restored by encouraging the growth of good bacteria that can eliminate and prevent acne.  Dermala's topical acne products contain nutrients that specifically feed the good bacteria on the skin along with molecules derived from the skin microbiome that kill P. acnes, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation. Dermala’s advanced acne probiotics have been formulated to deliver good bacteria to the gut to balance the gut microbiome, reduce the oil production in the skin and reduce systemic inflammation associated with acne.

Our Advantage

  • We focus on both SKIN and GUT. Other skincare companies completely ignore gut. But gut health is critical for skin health. So we do not ignore it!
  • Our products are designed to selectively eliminate bad bacteria and support the growth of good bacteria for optimal MICROBIOME BALANCE. Other companies destroy the good bacteria because their products are based on harsh chemicals. We pamper the good bacteria because they are important for skin health.
  • Our products contain NO ANTIBIOTICS and NO HARSH CHEMICALS. None. Period.
  • Our products are made with are ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC ingredients. Because we like all-natural organic ingredients on our skin.
