THE tbh Skincare acne hack spot treatment uses patented technology to break down what is known as 'biofilm' on the skin.
While 10% of the skin's bacteria is free-floating, the remaining 90% are found in naturally formed colonies, called biofilms.
These structures are protected by a very hard-to-break-through layer called EPS, but tbh Skincare claims its product can target the bacteria that live within them.
Tbh's acne hack spot treatment for problem skin sufferers was clinically trialled against traditional salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide skin treatments and outperformed both these ingredients, according to its manufacturer.
Searching for the secret to clearing up her acne-prone skin, tbh Skincare co-founder Rachael Wilde realised the importance of products that cut straight to the source of the problem.
"The majority of the commercially available products only deal with the symptoms of acne outbreaks and don't deal with the underlying issue of biofilm," said Wilde.
"Our technology used in the product physically breaks down the protective biofilm layer to expose the acne bacteria."
