The acne cycle starts weeks before pimples surface. Clogged pores, oil secretion, bacterial overgrowth and inflammation all contribute to acne. BeMe addresses each step of the acne cycle.

When you see a red bump, whitehead or blackhead on your skin, it’s usually gone through four stages to get there.

The 4 stages of Acne:

STEP 1 is a clogged hair follicle or pore. Your skin cells are constantly renewing and when old cells die off they shed. The result: fresh, new skin about every month or so. However, if you’re acne-prone, these dead cells mix with the oil (aka sebum) on your skin, become sticky and clump together inside the pore. When that happens oil and the bacteria that causes acne gets trapped inside.

STEP 2 in the formation of acne is the overproduction of oil. The question is why are you producing so much it? Basically, androgen hormones stimulate the release of sebum from the sebaceous glands attached to your pores. Things like puberty or emotional stress can increase androgen levels, causing you to produce more oil which leads to more clogged pores.

STEP 3 At this point, the acnes bacteria, which naturally grow on your skin, now have an abundant supply of food (oil and dead skin cells) to feast on. As a result, they start to breed inside the plugged pore. This process is considered Step 3 on the path to breakouts.

STEP 4 If the bacteria and sebum stays trapped below the skin surface, a whitehead is formed. If the pore opens up, the sebum, which contains the skin pigment melanin, oxidizes and turns blackish and a blackhead is formed.

Our exclusive Smart TargetTM technology works to target the pore directly, which is where your blemishes and breakouts start. Because our Smart Target Technology targets the pore, more active ingredients can be delivered into your pores. That means that this brilliant ingredient can get to work quickly and start to fight your blemishes and clear your skin.

Our probiotic technology is advanced and works to calm the natural immune triggers in your skin.

The acne cycle doesn’t occur overnight. In fact, it’s a slow process that occurs over the course of several weeks, well beneath the surface and well before the breakout appears on your face or body. BeMe goes to work early in the cycle to help prevent clogged pores and keep you from breaking out. This helps break the acne cycle. Nothing can completely cure acne, but with the daily use of BeMe you can help treat mild-to-moderate acne and prevent future breakouts.

We have developed the products to support you all the way in all necessary steps:

1. Cleanse
Avoid harsh cleansers! Using a face wash that is too harsh can irritate your skin and trigger increased oil production. Instead, look for a mild, gentle face wash. CLENSING GEL

2. Moisture and Rebalance
If you’ve used moisturizers before and felt that they just leave your skin feeling greasy, that might be because you were not using the right one for your skin type. Look for water moisturizers that deeply hydrate the skin without making it feel greasy. REBALANCING AND MOISTURIZING CREAM

3. Dry out pimples
Instead of squeezing pimples, dry them out. When you squeeze a pimple, isn’t just pushing It up and out of the skin—it’s also being pushed down further into the pore. Formulas with Salicylic acid can actually dry out pimples. CORRECT & COVER
