Combat Acne with Copper Peptide Serums and Hydroxy Acids

You can naturally reduce acne and remove scars by combining alpha or beta hydroxy acids (to break up scar tissue and exfoliate the skin) with copper-peptides (to rebuild your skin and strengthen its ability to fight blemishes). Copper-peptides may also be used in conjunction with other anti-acne products such as glycolic acid, and Retin-A. However, avoid benzoyl peroxide which damages the skin. Pitted acne, depressed and "ice pick" scars respond well to more natural methods. Our copper-peptides (including SRCPs and GHK Copper) enhance Dermal-collagen graft procedures which fill depressions. Laser surfacing and punch grafts also play a role in acne treatments.

Exfoliate with Exfol Cream (2% hydroxy acid) or LacSal Cream (10% hydroxy acid)
You can apply these exfoliating serums with cotton balls, small cloth pads, or your fingers. Dermatologists state that salicylic acid penetrates deeply into pores, opening them and killing acne-causing bacteria.

Emu Oil as a Moisturizer

Anti-acne products and CP Serum can dry out your skin. Emu oil is a strong natural moisturizer that does not increase breakouts.

 

 

 

Try this system for two months. If you do not see enough progress, try using a stronger hydroxy acid from one of our resellers. Or use a method of manual abrasion (such as a microdermabrasion cloth). The key is to keep working on the scars.

...I have problems with acne and acne scars. I tried one of the new collagen producing peptides that are advertised on TV and magazines. After two months, I was getting hard spots all over my face. Then I switched to a morning wash of Gentle Clean or Neutrogena's cleanser with salicylic acid followed by a 15% glycolic acid and CP Serum or Super Cop. In the evening, I use Gentle Clean and Protect & Restore #3 and a little emu oil on dry skin areas. My acne has cleared, scars are reducing, and the emu oil does cause any breakouts.

...The P&R and hydroxy acid cream have really helped on my acne scars. They are smaller and much less noticeable. I tried everything before and only irritated my skin.

...A friend gave me me some P&R #3 and it cleared up my chronic cystic acne! Nothing has done this in years.

...First I'd like to offer a cautiously optimistic testimonial--I think I'm on my way to being blemish-free for multiple days in a row! After that, maybe longer!! As per your suggestion of a few months back I've been using P&R #2 in the morning, then a hydroxy acid a few nights a week, alternating with Avita tretinoin cream.
The GOOD NEWS--After the first month I stopped using moisturizer, and after two months my pores are noticeably smaller, and I'm getting fewer breakouts. Then I thought maybe a different acne product would take care of the breakouts...
The P&R is truly wonderful!! I really thought nothing could improve my skin, and even with these few ongoing breakouts, my face overall looks and feels so much better!! I think I just had to be a bit more patient to see results, as my face was in pretty poor shape from years of using everything
short of Accutane. Please don't stop making this product!! I feel like I have a brand-new face--sometimes I look in the mirror and can't believe the difference--it's thrilling!
Best regards and sincere thanks,

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I have been a fan and committed user of Skin Biology's Copper-Peptides for about 18 months. Initially I noticed an improvement in skin quality and moisture content when I commenced using CP Serum for acne scarring, burns from a CO2 laser and scar revision surgeries (post car accident).
Within approximately 2 months, scars began to look somewat improved. At that point I switched to Super CP Serum (in conjunction with a 2% BHA). By the 16 month mark, due to continued once-a-day use, the rolling acne scars, large pores and some chicken pox marks had noticeably improved, although I was still "filling in" the ice-picks (now significantly smaller) with heavy make-up.
At the beginning of this year, you were kind enough to let me try the SuperCop 2X [Extra Strength].
I AM COMPELLED TO REPORT EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS.
After just one month, I defy anyone to recognize a sufferer of cystic acne (my scars were thirty years old!), I no longer "fill" any ice-pick scars (they've disappeared), where I'd sustained tissue loss from the car accident (filled-in as well), chicken-pox scars (don't recall exactly where they were)and at almost 49 years of age, am totally wrinkle-free. That alone is a feat, since I was one of those kids the docs in the '70s recommended sun-lamps to as therapy for acne.
My gratitude is enormous - and I know of which I speak since historically I have tried (with limited success)everything on the market, including but not limited to, dermabrasion, 2 physician administered chemical peels, scar revision surgeries, laser resurfacing, A, C, ALA, DMAE and so forth.
And furthermore, unlike all of these other 'therapies', there is no drying, inflammation, swelling (which can appear to diminish scarring - in the very short term), or irritation of any kind.
Hence - I will continue to use the SuperCop 2X, since in addition to all of the previously mentioned benefits, my skin has never looked or felt healthier. No other product is required.

...I began using the TriReduction creams on my face and I could see improvement immediately! I also use P&R#3, BioHeal, CP Serum, Exfol Serum and Day Cover in rotational patterns (experimenting with those products). Every product is incredible! My skin glows, the acne scarring appears to be healing, and the pores are smaller! MIRACLE!
How could I forget, I don't breakout anymore, anywhere! Yes, I was still getting zits. Sometimes very swollen - would last for a couple of months acne - on the "bank breaking" program! Now I don't even have to worry that I'm going to wake up with a blemish of any kind, on my face. I know that with the use of these products that my skin is healthy and healing. For the first time in thirteen years of having skin problems, my face glows, feels and is looking flawless as a treasured porcelain doll. With all my heart, thank you...Truly, they are miracle creams.

...On June 13, 2003 I purchased the Acne Scar Reduction Kit and cannot believe the incredible results. I have NEVER felt compelled to contact any company with a compliment or testimonial. I have suffered from acne most of my life. I have acne scars that have been on my face for many years. I do not, and have never, avoided the sun, so I suppose I have sun damage along with 36 year-old problematic skin (such as fine lines, oily skin, acne, etc.).
I have used $300 magic potions and $3 drug store remedies and everything in between. I have used Proactiv Acne System and still had acne and it created more discoloration on my face. I have been on Tetracycline and Accutane and still had acne, along with dry skin which I never in my life have had. I have used everything on all the shopping channels, some were expensive and promised the unbelievable (Serious Skin Care, Isomers, Murad, etc.). Some of them even condemned colored copper, although when I used their colorless copper, NOTHING happened - empty promises.
I stumbled across your website and it was so detailed and the prices were so reasonable that I felt "what the heck, I've tried everything else". THANK YOU!!! The discoloration has been significantly reduced. I haven't even used the entire bottles of CP and Exfol Serums and the results are unbelievable. I can't wait to see the results as I continue using these products. I do have some acne break-outs although not nearly as bad, nor do they leave the discoloration. I am anxious to explore some of your other products.
Thank you, again, for the fabulous products along with the science and information posted on your website.

Pitted Acne Scars

Pitted acne scars often respond well to these methods. Pitted scars are difficult to remove with traditional dermatological techniques that try to remove scars rapidly.

The key with pitted acne is to rub LacSal Serum or Exfol Serum into the pitted scar on a daily basis. This slowly dissolves and removes the scar tissue. In the morning use a copper peptide product (either Super CP Serum, Super Cop Cream, or Super Cop Cream 2X Extra Strength). Strong copper peptides help keep irritation down and create an environment conducive for the rebuilding of new skin to replace the lost scar tissue. As the scar tissue is replaced with healthy skin, the skin's surface pulls itself flat like a balloon.

Some people use this method but also use a 30% glycolic acid twice weekly to speed the process.

Deep Acne Scarring

Depressed severe scars are often improved by laser resurfacing procedure. First, the individual scars are first resurfaced with several passes of a laser, then later the complete area, such as the cheeks of the full face is resurfaced . With very depressed scars, the depression is often first to be corrected by the dermal-collagen graft procedures to fill the area, then followed by laser resurfacing after a few months.

For severe "ice pick" scars, often a prior surgical procedure surgically is used removes the scar tissue. Then punch grafts are taken from behind the ears, and inserted into the above defects and allowed to heal. After three to six weeks, these areas is laser resurfaced. This has been compared to patching and sanding all cracks and gouges in a wall, before applying the coat of paint.

Some physicians use very fine needles to inject 70% glycolic acid into the acne pits to loosen the scar tissue.

If you have very sensitive skin, always start with our mildest copper peptide: Super GHK-Copper Cream.

If you have combination-to-oily skin type use the serum/liquid oil-free versions of our products. If you have normal-to-dry skin type use the creams.

You can use the hydroxy acid and copper peptides together, but hydroxy acids work best if kept at a low pH and mixing with other products can raise the pH level.

If you do not see enough progress, try using a stronger hydroxy acid from one of our resellers. You can apply more hydroxy acid during the day. But reduce the amount if your skin become irritated.

If you are using acne products recommended by your dermatologist, we recommend you alternate copper peptides and an exfoliator one day and your acne product the next day. Common products used alongside copper peptides include benzoyl peroxide, Retin-A and ProActiv. SRCPs (Skin Remodeling Copper-Peptides) help reduce the irritation caused by other anti-acne products and allow for their more effective use.

For spot treatment: use the cream versions, once or twice a day regularly. Some find Super Cop 2X - Extra Strength and LacSal Cream work best for spot treating scars. Rub the products into the scar area. Test this combination for 2 weeks and see how they work. If your skin becomes irritated, use smaller amounts of the products.

If This Does Not Work Well Enough For You

Stronger alpha or beta hydroxy acids will speed the procedure but also increase the chances of irritation or chemical burns. A 2% salicylic acid is about equivalent to a 10% glycolic acid in terms of exfoliation and scar removal. The Skin Biology LacSal Serum is a 10% hydroxy acid at pH 3.2. Some customers and clinics use stronger salicylic acids or 30% to 70% hydroxy acids to loosen and dissolve the scar tissue then apply the copper peptide product.

Typical results take approximately 4-6 weeks of consistent use.
