The Natural, Effective Treatment for Acne: GREEN TEA CATECHINS & TEA TREE OIL. Polyphenon® Green Tea Acne Cream is the only all-natural acne remedy that provides therapeutic levels of purified green tea catechins delivered in an active form. Catechins, the powerful antioxidants present in green tea, are highly unstable in solution and often break down within a few days and lose their effectiveness. For this reason, most green tea products no longer contain catechins after a few days. Through our relationship with Dr. Yukihiko Hara, one of the leading world experts in tea catechins, and our team of compounding pharmacists, we can assure you that this product delivers active catechins at therapeutic levels. Look for the Polyphenon trademark, and know that your skin will receive the important healing benefits of active catechins.
Modern science underscores the benefits of green tea applied topically. For example, research presented at the 2003 meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology showed that a 3% green tea extract cream was as effective in treating acne as a 4% benzoyl peroxide cream. This study cited that green tea has been shown to fight bacteria, reduce inflammation and decrease hormone activity -- three characteristics that make green tea an excellent candidate for an acne therapy. Patients in the green tea group reported fewer cases of dry skin, itching and allergic responses. Choose our all-natural Polyphenon Green Tea Acne Cream as an alternative to benzoyl peroxide, known to be a possible tumor promoter.
Green Tea Benefits: Studies suggest...
* Anti-bacterial activity - green tea extracts are effective against many bacterial species including Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus, H. Pylori, Methacillin-Resistant Staphlococcus aureus(MRSA).
* Antioxidant & Photo Protector - topical or oral consumption of green tea polyphenols inhibit chemical carcinogens and ultraviolet-B radiation induced tumours (skin cancer). If applied prior to, or immediately after exposure to UV-B, green tea extract protects against sun induced local skin damage.
* Anti-inflammatory & Anti-hyperpigmentation affect - green tea was found to lighten darkend areas of skin, reducing the appearance of residual acne inflammation spots.
* Reduce Sebum Production by Inhibiting 5-Alpha Reductase - studies suggest that topical green tea extracts can inhibit 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT which is a sebaceous gland-stimulating hormone, thus reducing hormonal causes of acne.
Suggested Use: Apply a small amount to affected skin areas twice daily (use no more than 5 times daily). Best if applied as early as possible before or during an outbreak. For topical use only.
Contains: Jojoba Oil, Beeswax, Lecithin, 3% Polyphenon 70A Green Tea Catechin Extract, 0.5% salicylic acid, Ascorbyl Palmitate (vitamin C), 0.2% Tea Tree Oil (anti-bacterial), Sorbic Acid (natural preservative).
