it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside a hair follicle, skin cells and sebum can begin accumulating instead of moving normally out of the pore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis creates a

painful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's why acne treatment needs to think beyond simply drying the spot sitting on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe need to consider the environment

comedone\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial inside the follicle is exposed to oxygen at the surface and undergoes oxidation, creating the characteristic darker colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScrubbing harder isn't going to solve the biological reason it formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd squeezing every blackhead you can see may create

comedone\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe follicle becomes blocked, but unlike a blackhead, the opening remains covered by a thin layer of skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgain, this isn't simply a cleanliness problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComedone formation involves the behaviour of skin cells within the follicle, sebum and the surrounding inflammatory environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the reasons 4% niacinamide is particularly interesting in Eu-Skin is that MEDER uses it not only for inflammation and

matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo our goal shouldn't automatically be:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003edestroy everything living on the
