Traditional acne treatments use harsh chemicals like retinol and benzoyl peroxide to treat acne. Not only are these ingredients ineffective in the long term, causing endless cycles of relapse; they can be incredibly harmful to your skin. In fact, these ingredients have even been shown to trigger inflammatory pathways associated with aging. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical companies and many dermatologists are locked into treatment modalities which are close to fifty years old.
At Columbia SkinCare we have been researching and working collectively with other scientists throughout the world to better understand how human microbiomes, particularly skin microbiomes, can control and manage the bacterial overgrowth which is the central cause of acne. In 2017 we introduced the first topical skin probiotic lysates indicated to treat and modulate Cutibacterium acnes.
Skincare professionals and consumers have successfully used Columbia SkinCare products to treat acne and enhance the skin’s natural desquamation process. These products continue to be the safest and most efficacious treatments in their class of products.
Today, we are expanding our research as we continue to discover novel probiotic lysates, which may be utilized to prevent UV radiation and photo aging. Our goal is to introduce a line of suncare products that are safe, effective, sustainable and free of any chemicals. With over 150+ years of experience in creating skin wellness products, along with our commitment to holistic and sustainable technologies we are expanding our footprint faster than at any other time in our history.
