SilicoSan combats acne and seborrhea. It purifies the complexion and soothes skin irritations and dermatitis. SilicoSan also improves the appearance and condition of skin. Colloidal silica, an active ingredient of SilicoSan, has amazing properties. One mole has an adsorption surface bigger than a soccer pitch and it works like a big magnet that attracts and captures all substances. It can easily bind a large amount of impurities. It is enough to place a small amount of SilicoSan onto the affected skin area and the colloidal silica in gel-sol* form will capture bacteria, their toxins, allergens, sebum† and all impurities. After a while one washes the product out and so removes all captured impurities. The first effects are visible after just a few applications, however, in order to obtain a permanent effect one has to use the preparation for 4 - 6 weeks. SilicoSan, in contrast with other acne preparations, does not destroy biological skin balance and it is safe even if used for a long time. SilicoSan is available in 100 ml tubes.
† Sebum (term from Latin, meaning fat or tallow) is an oily, waxy substance secreted by sebaceous glands. It is made of fat (lipids), wax, and the debris of dead fat-producing cells. In the glands, sebum is produced within specialized cells and is released as these cells burst. Seborrhoea is the name for the condition of greasy skin caused by excess sebum.
