ZINER SOLUTION is a topical antibiotic for the treatment of moderate acne. It contains erythromycin and zinc acetate to help kill the bacteria that frequently cause acne and clear up acne in 10-12 weeks. ZINER SOLUTION attacks the bacteria associated with acne (Propionibacterium). This common bacteria feeds on the sebum produced by the skin in the sebaceous glands. This feeding causes the bacteria to produce waste products and fatty acids that irritate the sebaceous glands, causing them to become infected and inflamed. This results in acne.
Erythromycin contained in ZINER SOLUTION is an antibiotic and works to inhibit propionibacterium’s ability to produce proteins that are essential for their production. This action stops the spread of the infection, reducing the inflammation of the sebaceous glands and allowing the skin to heal naturally. Any remaining bacteria are killed by the immune system or eventually die. ZINER SOLUTION also contain zinc acetate. Zinc is renowned for having skin-healing properties and in an acetate form it effectively combines with erythromycin to form a chemical complex. This chemical complex is designed to be efficiently absorbed by the skin.
ZINER SOLUTION is for external use only and is suitable for the treatment of mild to moderate acne. To obtain the best results it is recommended the solution be applied over a period of 10-12 weeks. ZINER SOLUTION is a good option for those wishing to treat their acne using antibiotics that do not want to take oral tablets due to interactions with their current medicines or side effects. Using ZINER SOLUTION, you can get all the benefits of antibiotic treatment without any of the possible negatives associated with the oral antibiotics.
