Acne is an extremely common skin condition that affects roughly 50 million Americans per year. And while it’s normally attributed to puberty, it can actually occur at any point in a person’s life. The condition does more than affect the way you look – it can also take a toll on your mental and emotional health. 

Severe acne can create an even heavier effect on your well-being as it is often accompanied by more than just pimples. Serious acne cases involve breakouts of cysts and nodules on different regions of the body including the face, chest, and back. These cysts, usually accompanied by pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads, tend to be very painful and are usually followed by acne scars.

Luckily, new skincare technology has been developed to combat this. Here, we take a look at the new Nitrogen Boost® technology and how it can help alleviate or even prevent severe acne from breaking out in the first place.

What Is Nitrogen Boost® Technology?

There are numerous ways to treat acne: an antibiotic combined with prescription medicine is the most common method, but it’s not necessarily the most effective. In an effort to create a better solution, Nitrogen Boost® was conceived. 

Nitrogen Boost® technology is the result of countless hours’ worth of research and review in dermatology. It features two effective anti-acne chemicals, salicylic and mandelic acid, combined with nitric oxide (NO) to treat even the most severe of acne cases.

How Does It Work?

Nitrogen Boost® was created on top of a solid foundation of in-depth scientific research. For years, dermatologists have acknowledged that acne is caused by pores that are clogged by oil. The clogged oil then gets colonized by bacteria, and then inflammation occurs to make things worse. 

However, new research has found that the inflammation can actually occur before pores can become clogged. Nitrogen Boost® is designed to nip at the bud of severe acne by reducing inflammation beneath your skin to improve your skin condition significantly.

This new skin treatment technique uses nitric oxide, which can increase blood flow, heal wounds, kill bacteria, and modulate your immune system. In an article published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutica Analytica Acta, nitric oxide was found to be an essential component in treating people with acne because of the aforementioned qualities. 

Nitrogen Boost® takes full advantage of this newfound research by combining salicylic and mandelic acid with nitric oxide.

Salicylic acid, which is usually found inside willow trees, uses a more direct approach when dealing with acne. It works by penetrating deep into the skin and directly dissolving the dead skin cells that are clogging up your pores. 

On the other hand, mandelic acid helps reduce acne by regulating the production of sebum, a type of skin oil that may potentially cause breakouts. Mandelic acid is more subtle than salicylic acid and is much gentler on the skin. 

Nitrogen Boost®’s formula takes the best parts of all three chemicals to provide an anti-acne solution that works faster with less risk of side effects.

Benefits of Nitrogen Boost®

Nitrogen Boost® technology is amazing at rounding off your skincare treatment routine. The addition of nitric oxide into existing anti-acne formulas only serves to make it even better against severe breakouts without compromising your skin’s safety.

This is because nitric oxide is a naturally occurring chemical within the human body. It’s produced by almost every cell in the body, and its primary function is to improve blood flow. When applied directly to your face or other regions affected by severe acne, Nitrogen Boost® helps widen the blood vessels it comes into contact with. 

Not only will it deal with acne, but it will also help improve your overall health. It can potentially decrease blood pressure levels, and it also does wonders for people who are older as the body’s nitric oxide levels decrease with age. 

Another benefit of Nitrogen Boost® is it can help with muscle soreness. The increase in blood flow that nitric oxide provides also helps hasten the removal of residual waste products like ammonia and lactate that are commonly produced after strenuous activities. The faster blood flow also means that nutrients in blood will be delivered quicker, further improving your natural recovery. 

The addition of nitric oxide improves the rate at which acne is treated, so you’ll be able to recover from the skin condition faster. Its natural healing properties also mean it can help reduce acne scars, giving you clearer and smoother skin. This can improve your self-esteem, boost your confidence, and lift up your overall mood for the better.

Safety Concerns

Thanks to nitric oxide being naturally present in the human body, it can cause little to no side effects when used as a treatment for severe acne. Nitrogen Boost® isn’t purely composed of nitric oxide so unlike dietary supplements, the risk of getting side effects due to over-dosage is negligible.

However, it should be noted that salicylic and mandelic acid may still cause unwanted reactions. Salicylic acid may cause skin redness, swelling, and itching, but more severe allergic reactions may cause skin peeling and hives.

Mandelic acid, on the other hand, is gentler when it comes to side effects. At worst, it can only cause itching, swelling, and redness.

Despite the possibility of experiencing side effects, both chemicals are generally considered safe. Always consult a dermatologist before using any form of treatment to minimize the risk of complications brought about by allergies.

Neutralyze® and Nitrogen Boost®

Neutralyze®’s line of skincare products was created with the powerful effects of nitric oxide in mind to fully negate the devastating effects of severe acne. 

Dr. Gregory Chernoff, a triple-board certified plastic surgeon, conducted a clinical study using Neutralyze® with Nitrogen Boost® technology. He concluded that 95% of the test’s participants – those who had moderate to severe acne – exhibited very positive results. Within two to three days, participants of the study reported improvements when it came to their skin condition. 

Other studies echo and highlight the efficacy of nitric oxide when used for treating acne. In one research, participants with mild, moderate, or severe cases found that topically applied nitric oxide significantly helped decrease their inflammatory lesions. 

With the many restorative capabilities of nitric oxide, it can serve as an excellent solution to help combat severe acne. Neutralyze® leverages NO using Nitrogen Boost® technology and offers an anti-acne solution in the form of a multi-step skincare treatment. With this technology, Neutralyze® helps your skin recover at a faster rate, decrease inflammation and redness, and overall improve your severe acne. 

Paving the Way

The introduction of nitric oxide into the world of skincare has opened up new facets for treating severe acne as well as improving overall skin health. The lack of any notably dangerous side effects increases its value as a skincare treatment option, and its list of positive ones only serves to make it more attractive.

The effectiveness of nitric oxide against severe acne, when used in conjunction with existing acne treatment methods, has been proven to be very positive. Only time will tell what the rest of the dermatological industry can do with the newfound power of this strong yet safe chemical when it comes to treating skin conditions.
