Kiwi Seed Extract

Clinically proven to reduce acne and improve skin moisture*

Clinical Proven Kiwi Seed has been tested to show the reduction of acne in as little as 4 weeks.  When combined with Ceramide-PCD(R) is also was shown to restore the skins ceramides and rebuild the outer skin layer, increasing the skins ability to retain moisture while improving skinsmoothness.*

Our Kiwi Seed was tested for its effect on the reduction of acne as measured by the actual occurrence of various types of acne on the skin, plus the ability for the skin to produce sebum, one of the primary causes of acne. Observations were made for the presence of comedonal acne, the kind of mild acne that involves blackheads and whiteheads. It forms because a component of skin oil called sebum, along with old skin cells, block the pores of the skin. Comedonal acne appears most often on the forehead, nose, and chin. As it gets more progressive it develops into pimples, can get inflamed, and develop into cysts. These were all measured during the 4 week study, with each stage scoring higher for its severance. The observed acne improved 20% over the 4 week period.*

The capacity to produce sebum, a primary cause of acne, was also tested.  Sebum capacity was reduced by 34% over the 4 week period. The test concluded skin conditions and conditions of acne were improved, mainly due to the inhibitive effect on sebum secretion, one of the primary causes of acne.*
