Why Acne treatment kit is not oil free?

Oil free products came into market with this thought that oils can become pore clogging disregarding an important concept that not all oils may clog the skin pores.

Upregulation is one pharmacological principle behind Hippocrates' acne treatment kit. The drier the skin the more stimulation for activity of sebaceous glands. Research studies shows many essential fatty acids become depleted in the skin of acne patients compare to that of normal skin.

Acne Treatment serum as well as Day Effect provide these essential fatty acids to the skin and let the the skin to be restored to its normal environment, which is not an optimal one for growth of bacteria.
