It is thought that 90% of teenage acne is caused by demodex mites and that 10% is caused by bacteria. Due to the change of hormones at that age that cause the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum (oil) it makes teenagers facial skin a perfect living and breeding place for demodex mites. They can easily multiply and this in turn causes bacterial infections and acne. It is also no coincidence that people who suffer from severe acne as teenagers go on to suffer from adult acne and rosacea when they get older (which are also caused by demodex mites). Teenage Dream contains a high level of tea tree oil which has been scientifically proven to kill demodex mites. Unfortunately western medicine has not cottoned on to this and is narrow minded when it comes to using natural remedies for medical conditions such as acne. However in Eastern Europe and China it is accepted that demodex mites cause acne and that tea tree oil kills demodex mites.
Teenage Dream treats acne on all fronts and is a great natural alternative to many of the over the counter acne treatments that are harsh on the skin and only treat the symptoms of the acne and not the cause (over production of sebum and demodex mites).
