The
problem
Spots are a very common skin problem, with consequences that go
beyond simply physical. From pimples and mild acne to more severe forms
like cystic acne, breakouts can affect a person's confidence, sense of well-being
and ability to go out and meet people. Acne usually starts during puberty
between the ages of 12 and 14, when increased levels of the male-type sex
hormones androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands to increase production
of sebum1.
While teen acne is very common, people of all ages can get
acne. At an estimate, acne affects 25 percent of men and 50 percent of women
at sometime in their adult lives. People can develop acne, or have a recurrence
of acne, in their 30s, 40s and beyond2.

and science to tackle the problem of acne and spots. This innovative nutraceutical

How it works
Praventin – the key ingredient in help: clear skin - is rich in Lactoferrin,
known to reduce the development of bacteria responsible for many skin impurities.
In addition, Lactoferrin also helps to prevent blemishes and spots forming
due to its antimicrobial effect.
Praventin is a natural ingredient derived from milk, which
has been proven to help people achieve a clearer complexion by enhancing
the body’s natural defences. It limits the growth of acne bacteria,
reduces the blemishes associated with acne and assists in the repair of
damaged skin cells caused by blemishes. Clinical research has shown that
people with acne-prone skin who add 200g of Praventin to their daily diet
noticed a median reduction of 71% in blemishes by week four and a staggering
95% median reduction by week eight.
Although Praventin can be found in milk, the beneficial
skin clearing effect is only activated when this bioactive protein is extracted
from the milk. This means that drinking litres of milk is not going to deliver
the same benefit. An easy and effective solution is to simply take a sachet
of twice a day to get the
required measured dosage of Lactoferrin.
In addition to Praventin, contains:
- Aloe Vera: a high extract of this healing
plant has a smoothing and nourishing effect on the skin
- Oligofructose: a natural source of soluble
fibre. Increasing fibre intake prevents your body from expelling toxics
that affect the skin and help avert acne
