Acne and Lactoferrin

Dr. K uses Lactoferrin, a unique ingredient in the Repair & Purify Acne Control Premium Serum that finally combats acne effectively

Lactoferrin

Now you will probably be thinking, but what is Lactoferrin? Lactoferrin is a type of protein that occurs naturally in cow and breast milk, as well as in our own tear fluid and saliva. Most commonly, Lactoferrin is found in colostrum – a milky liquid produced by female mammals in the first few days after the birth of their offspring, then after 72 hours production turns into ”real milk.” The main role of Lactoferrin is to support the immune system. Studies here have shown that Lactoferrin helps protect the body from bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microbes.

Lactoferrin and acne

Lactoferrin works in several ways to improve acne. Through its iron-regulating role, Lactoferrin removes the food source, so to speak, for the Propionium Acnes bacteria (the culprit in pimples), preventing it from surviving on the skin. In addition to its iron-regulating properties, Lactoferrin is also a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals. Indeed, free radicals are known to cause damage to our cells and DNA, which can cause cellular and other inflammation – and thus acne. In addition, Lactoferrin also acts as an anti-inflammatory. Inflammation plays a major role in clogging pores and the formation of acne and because of this, it is very important to use ingredients in Skincare that are anti-inflammatory. So calming inflammation can help prevent acne from getting worse, but it also helps heal and repair the skin. Finally, the health of our gut: Most statements about diet and acne are myths, unless you are sensitive to them. This does not mean that our gut health is not related to formation of acne. Poor gut and digestive health can lead to acne or exacerbate existing acne. You already know that Lactoferrin can help fight harmful bacteria, but Lactoferrin can also help feed beneficial gut bacteria. Healthy gut flora promotes proper digestion and nutrient absorption. So supplementation with Lactoferrin can certainly have a positive contribution in fighting acne.
