When any genetic, hormonal or environmental factors cause the excess production of sebum, it can combine with dead skin cells to form plugs that block your pores.¹

These blocked pores are the ideal breeding ground for bacteria, which can then build up and cause blemishes.

A lot of anti-blemish products are designed to target these specific bacteria, to prevent them from breeding in blocked pores and the subsequent blemishes they cause. Most do so by killing them – but this means there is a risk of creating bacterial resistance. It can give rise to “super-bacteria” that can’t be harmed by typical antibacterial agents, causing products to lose their effectiveness.²

Papulex™ takes a different approach. We reduce bacterial adhesion to the pore by up to 97%³, so we don’t have to kill the bacteria, meaning less risk of resistance.
