Everyone’s skin produces a kind of oil called sebum. Without this - your skin and hair would dry out. But sometimes, sebum production can get out of control and this can lead to spots and greasy hair - particularly during changes in hormone levels.

Most people will have experienced a few pimples at some point in their lives - particular through puberty and the teenage years.

Acne vulgaris is the medical name for common acne - the presence of blackheads, whiteheads, and other types of pimples on the skin. The most common spots for breakouts are the face, chest, shoulders, and back.

So what causes acne? Simply, the sebaceous (oil producing) glands produce excess oil and at the same time the dead skin cells lining the pores are not shed properly and clog up the follicles.

These two effects result in further oil producing blackheads and whiteheads splattering the skin – and they can multiply.

If the pimple is picked or squeezed the oil can spread and it’s very easy to get caught in a vicious-cycle of pimples and popping – and eventually scarring.

Spots and acne are very common – with almost everyone having a few throughout adolescence – but it can lead to a much more serious problem; even developing in twenties, thirties and beyond; as one of our #absoluters discovered much to her horror after reaching the big ‘four-oh’ milestone.

“My skin took a change for the worse and I developed mild rosacea and adult acne. The doctor said not to expect much improvement, even using specialist creams and prescriptions” said Suzanne Turner.

However, Suzanne decided to look elsewhere for an answer and turned to Absolute Collagen.

“After not even a month my skin has improved by 100%! I found this product has made a huge difference where nothing else has, thank you as I was starting to give up hope!”

Another one of our #absoluters, Amy Wassell, also finds that a Daily Dose of Absolute Collagen helps to keep her skin clear.

“I used to get very spotty but Absolute Collagen clears my spots up and gives me smoother skin. I am an absoluter!” Amy said.

So what do you do if you start to get spots at any age?

NHS choices suggest using a mild cleanser or soap and avoiding frequent skin washing, limit the amount of makeup you wear and don’t squeeze!

Additionally, there are many topical lotions and potions on the market aimed at canvassing clear skin from the outside – but how about fixing it on the inside?

That’s where Absolute Collagen comes in. So – collagen is THE most abundant protein in our bodies and over 30% of the total protein in our bodies is collagen. It is so important – literally being the glue that holds everything together; even forming the connective tissues that anchor the teeth to our gums – and it’s particularly vital for acne-free skin.

This is because collagen supercharges the healing of old acne. So that pimple you plagued on your forehead? That will get fixed by our best marine-collagen supplement.

Just like if you cut your arm – roughly 10 hours afterwards the immune-system fibroblasts would chuck out loads and loads of collagen to create a ‘extracellular matrix’ to which other structural proteins attach themselves to reform the wound.

This ensured the wound is sealed and infection cannot get in – and then this type 3 collagen, after about 3 weeks, will cleverly be replaced by type 1 collagen and the healing of the skin will begin in earnest; strengthening it back to normal.

The bombardment of acne also damages surrounding tissues and lower layer skin cells are weakened. Collagen in our body repairs these base levels again and again too – just like that pimple you popped on the surface.

With MORE hydrolysed collagen in your bloodstream – immune-system chemicals designed to fight acne inflammation, redness and swelling will be far superior.

So in short – if you take your 10ml liquid collagen shot every day, your old acne won’t hang around and the bodily processes that restore normal skin balance will be far more efficient!

So Absolute Collagen really is truly critical for acne-free skin. If you’d like to give it a try you can do so here
