FORT LEE, N.J., Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Herborium
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HBRM) –Over 60 million people in the U.S.
have acne, and contrary to popular belief, it's not a condition
that only affects teenagers: In fact, the average age of people
with acne is 26.5 – which is five years older than the average age
was just a decade ago. Acne is a skin condition, but it also leaves
psychological scars. It is commonly treated with topical agents and
antibiotics, both of which can result in serious side effects. Now
people fighting acne have a new weapon in their arsenal: Herborium
Group, Inc., a small publicly traded Botanical Therapeutics®
company, offers all botanical ingredients-based, clinically tested
AcnEase® tablets that have achieved up to a 95% response rate in
the treatment of acne and in improving symptoms associated with
rosacea, such as facial flushing, heat sensitivity or gritty
eyes.
The proprietary formula, which is safe and causes no side
effects, was developed specifically to treat the underlying causes
of acne and works for adolescent and adult acne sufferers – both
women and men – with a variety of acne types, including
androgen-related, cystic and hormonal acne. AcnEase® treats current
outbreaks and prevents new acne from forming with a holistic,
effective approach to skin health. It works for all complexion
types and colors and does not discolor or irritate the skin. There
are no contraindications or restrictions on sunlight exposure for
AcnEase® as there are for many traditional acne treatments.
Benefits include:
- Affordable, effective treatment for acute and chronic
acne.
- Treatment that is safe and all natural (botanical) and can be
used on a long-term basis.
- Prevention of acne scar formation.
- Pain relief and elimination of the need for surgery or steroid
injections.
- Convenient vitamin-like small tablets suitable for all ages,
skin tones and types of acne for both women and men.
- Relief for rosacea-related facial flushing due to dilated blood
vessels.
- Elimination of skin sensitivity and outbreaks due to
rosacea.
- Alleviation of eye irritation and gastric reflux symptoms
secondary to rosacea.
The acne treatments currently on the market don't prevent new
acne from forming, focusing solely on symptoms. Antibacterial
therapy can result in resistant strains of bacteria, and topical
treatments can irritate and discolor the skin. Oral contraceptives
taken to treat acne can have contraindications and side effects,
and they aren't an option for the growing number of men suffering
from acne. The only other systemic acne treatment – Accutane – has
been withdrawn from the market due to severe side effects. (Generic
forms of Accutane – isotretinoin – are still unfortunately on the
market and can cause the same very serious adverse side effects.)
AcnEase® eliminates these drawbacks.
"AcnEase® is effective because it treats the causes of acne, not
just the symptoms," said Dr. Agnes P.
Olszewski, CEO and Chairwoman for Herborium Group. "A
primary cause of acne is an overproduction of sebum (skin oil) by
sebaceous glands, which blocks the pores and provides a fertile
ground for bacteria to develop, leading to localized inflammation
and consequently scarring – it's a vicious cycle. AcnEase® breaks
the cycle, using a proprietary herbal compound to restore balance
and skin health. It works for people who suffer from acne of any
type at any age, regardless of skin color and complexion."
AcnEase® has been clinically tested and proven effective. But
for Dr. Olszewski, the most touching proof points are the emails
and letters the company receives from users who tell the Herborium
team that AcnEase® has changed their lives. People who lived in
fear of breakouts, reluctant to attend special occasions or even
leave their homes because of their dissatisfaction with their
appearance, have written to tell the Herborium team that after
trying every remedy on the market without success, they've finally
found the solution they were looking for in AcnEase® and that they
have never looked or felt better.
Herborium's unique Botanical Therapeutics® blend Eastern and
Western medical traditions to provide the benefits of both. Shaped
by the Western emphasis on science, testing and metrics to ensure
safety and effectiveness and influenced by the holistic wellness
focus predominant in Eastern traditions, Herborium's Botanical
Therapeutics® – including AcnEase® – offer new hope to patients
with unmet treatment needs.
The company is currently developing other Botanical
Therapeutics® that will address sexual health issues in men and
women, energy and stress problems, symptoms of BPH (benign prostate
hyperplasia) and other health concerns. To find out more about
