Removing Biofilm Is Essential For Clearer Looking Skin.

Dubbed 'cities for microbes', biofilms are sticky 3D substances that shelter bacteria, creating ideal breeding conditions while shielding them from antibacterial and immune attacks.

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by how C. acnes triggers a strong immune response in some people but not others.

We all have C. acnes on our skin, so why do only some people get acne?

It hasn't been until the past decade that scientists began studying the link between C. acnes biofilms and the appearance of acne. That's when they found their answer.

Scientists now believe that C. acnes biofilms produced by certain strains of C. acnes are largely responsible for the appearance of acne and associated inflammation. Not only are biofilms much more resistant and persistent than bacteria alone, but they're able to trigger a much stronger and prolonged response from your immune system, too.

A Few Of The (Many) Ways Biofilms Contribute To The Appearance Of Acne

- They make the bacteria living inside up to 1000x more resistant to antibacterial and immune attacks.

- They allow these bacteria to continuously secrete pro-inflammatory fatty acids that would otherwise be easily shut down by your immune system.

- They trigger an ongoing pro-inflammatory immune response. Your body sends cytokines like T-cells to the site to eliminate the C. acnes bacteria, but can’t penetrate the biofilm—greatly prolonging inflammation and increasing the visible signs of acne.

Why Current Skincare Solutions Don't Work Against Biofilms

Because they simply weren't designed to.

Current solutions are designed to target bacteria directly, meaning they can't target biofilms or the bacteria hiding inside.

Panaclear has been specifically engineered using patented hyperprotonation technology. Hyperprotonation has been proven by rigorous third party testing to remove up to 100% of biofilms, making it superior to any other alternative on the market. And we do this without harsh chemicals, using 100% naturally derived ingredients.

Hyperprotonation is our patented 'anti-biofilm' cleansing technology.

It breaks down biofilms and bacteria in 3 steps:

1. Neutralise the Biofilm

Our surfactant mix seeps into the biofilm, neutralising its defences and making it penetrable.

2. Generate Pressure

While the surfactant mix is doing its job, citric acid and monolaurin are busy “hyperprotonating,” which simply means they’re producing infinite hydrogen molecules. This creates immense pressure.

3. Deep Penetration

Finally, the citric acid and monolaurin are propelled into the biofilm, reaching the bacteria inside and disrupting it at its source. The result? Genuinely clean skin free from hidden bacterial build-up.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to a supply chain issue, as of 5/12/24, we’ve had to temporarily remove our thicker, creamier surfactant (Sodium Laurylglucosides Hydroxypropyl Sulfonate) and replace it with more of our thinner one (Sodium Cocoamphoacetate) in both our face wash and spot treatment. They're still the same great products, just with a slightly different texture. They'll be back to normal soon!
