Why are phages so special?
Few people know, but bacteriophages – or phages for short – are a natural part of our skin microbiome. These tiny, beneficial microorganisms only attack bacteria.
Moreover, each phage specializes in a specific strain of bacteria, so it can act precisely and without side effects against harmful bacteria, leaving the good bacteria to live in peace, which helps to create a healthy balance in your skin.
Billions of phages pass through our bodies every day: they are present in our intestinal tract, our lungs, and our skin.
Recent research has shown that healthy skin has higher levels of phages than inflamed, acne-prone skin, suggesting that the presence of phages is key to healthy skin.
A short story – from lifesaving to skincare
Phages were used against bacterial infections as early as the 1920s, but the advent of cost-effective and broad-spectrum antibiotics in the 1950s pushed them and their associated technology into the background.
Now, in the age of antibiotic resistance, they are back in the spotlight – and saving lives in situations where nothing else will help.
Why is this different from traditional treatments?
Most acne treatments kill off any bacteria in their path—both the bad bacteria and the good bacteria that make up your skin's natural defense system. Not only does this upset the balance of your microbiome, it often leaves behind flaking, dryness, redness, and inflammation.
Plus, your skin will become even more vulnerable afterwards.
