Medical Study Determines that the Use of Zinc Oxide Ointment or Cream to Treat Acne Reduces the Production of Sebum and Accelerates Healing Capabilities

Pompton Plains, NJ, September 13, 2006 --(PR.com)-- While a medical study published in Dermotologic Surgery, the official publication of the American Society for Dermotologic Surgery, determines that topical ointment or cream treatments including zinc oxide show a reduction in the production of sebum and increased lesion reducing efficacy, Ryan and Jill Cote at http://www.ChinaDollSkin.com have performed their own extensive research and partnered with Tiffany Lauren® to provide acne sufferers with the Acne Treatment Skin Care System.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral that is found in every cell in the body. More than 300 enzymes in the body need zinc to function properly. Zinc supports the human immune system and has important antioxidant compounds. Zinc is also an effective sunscreen that protects the skin from both UVA and UVB sun rays. Margaret Schlumpf, a world leader in sunscreen chemical research, finds that zinc oxide is a healthier alternative to chemical UV absorbers.

Historically, zinc has been used topically as an ointment or cream to treat a wide variety of common skin conditions, such as dermatitis, dandruff, diaper rash, athlete's foot, jock itch, ulcerations and acne. The Zinc and Sulfur Face Mask, a cream formulated by Tiffany Lauren®, provides soothing, balancing relief for acne-prone complexions.

According to Dermotologic Surgery, zinc has an effect on the cells involved in inflammation, such as mast cells. Zinc reduces itch and inflammation and also has the ability to decrease the impact of topical toxins or irritants. Zinc oxide ointment or cream is used to treat acne blemishes because it reduces the production of oil, decreases toxins and relieves inflammation.

ChinaDollSkin.com distributes an effective Zinc and Sulfur Face Mask as part of their Acne Treatment Skin Care System, which also includes a Gentle Enzyme Peeling Cream, Pure-Purifying Astringent, Shine Free Solution, Rescue Gel and Pore Clearing Cleanser. A trial selection that includes five of the Visible Clear Skin System products is also available. Additionally, Tiffany Lauren® products are non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested and ophthalmologist tested.
