ZINC'S BENEFITS FOR ACNE

• When zinc is in the form of zinc picolinate, which is zinc bound to picolinic acid, the body can absorb zinc more readily. By lowering inflammation, preventing Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacterial development, controlling hormone activity, boosting the immune system, and encouraging collagen formation, zinc picolinate is thought to be able to improve acne.

Inflammatory acne

• This form of acne is characterised by the development of painful, swollen, and red pimples. Inflammation brought on by bacterial infections of the blocked pores is what causes these.

• Large, uncomfortable, and deep cysts that form on the skin are the hallmark of cystic acne. If these cysts are not adequately treated, they may become pus-filled and leave scars.

Hormonized acne

• This type of acne, which frequently affects the lower face, jawline, and neck, is brought on by hormonal changes, especially those involving androgens (male hormones).
