Healthy Skin Cream To Treat Actinic Keratosis & Hard To Heal Skin

Welcome to our BIOCUTIS^® line of healing natural skin care products

We would like to share with you the discovery of a natural immune serum that powers our topical skin care cream that takes away both damaged proteins in the skin and the small rough, scaly, crusty skin lesions and abnormal thick keratin deposits on the skin, known by the terms actinic keratosis and "solar or senil keratosis" or "actinic keratoses".

The natural immune serum also powers our non-prescription product for all types of dermatitis, even severe radio-dermatitis after cancer treatment with ionizing radiation: radiotherapy.

The actinic keratosis lesions are caused by mutations in cells that have been damaged by long term overexposure to solar radiation and free radicals.

The accumulation of dead and damaged proteins and abnormal keratin cannot only end up in basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma skin cancer or the more dangerous melanoma skin cancer, but also causes chronic inflammation with all its deleterious unhealthy effects.

Skin cancer begins in the cells that make up the outer layer (epidermis) of your skin. A type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma can occur in the basal cells, which are located at the base of the epidermis and make skin cells that continuously push older cells toward the surface. As new cells move upward, they become more-flattened squamous cells, where a skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma can occur. Melanoma, another type of skin cancer, arises in the pigment cells (melanocytes), which are also located in the base of the epidermis among the basal cells.

"Inflamm-Aging"

Recent research is showing that inflammation, or as it is referenced nowadays: the process of "inflamm-aging", is not only the disorder at the base of acne & rosacea, dermatitis & eczema, and many other disorders affecting our skin but explains the now widely accepted phenomenon that aging is accompanied by a low-grade chronic, systemic up-regulation of the inflammatory response. And that the underlining inflammatory changes, not only affect the cells of our skin, but are also common to most age-associated diseases.

Sergio Giunta from The Clinical Laboratory & Molecular Diagnostics of the Geriatric Hospital in Ancona, Italy says

a review of the literature on Inflammaging suggests that, like acute inflammation is well known to be associated with the five cardinal features 1. rubor (redness), 2. tumor (swelling), 3. dolor (pain), 4. calor (warm), 5. functio lesa (loss of function), on the contrary, "inflamm-aging" is characterized by the complex set of five conditions which can be described as 1. low-grade, 2. controlled, 3. asymptomatic, 4. chronic, 5. systemic, inflammatory state.

Your health is dependent on your immune system and its ability to identify and repel your own damaged cells and 'foreign' invaders.

Our immune system ages with us and its inflamm-aging responses generate un-repaired cellular damage - the more damage, the earlier your quality of life will deteriorate as you age.

The cumulative effects of sun damaged skin, free radical oxidation, immoderate stress, heavy metal overload, and vitamin and mineral under nutrition wears us down, increasing our susceptibility to disease.

It is as if Mother Nature never anticipated that the immune system she designed for us would be so taxed; and now here she needs our help.

FORTUNATELY a creature that lives with its skin exposed to the sun and the elements in a way that is similar to how we expose our face and other parts of our body to solar radiation and the elements, and with skin similar to human skin, secretes an immune system support serum that acts at the site of skin injuries, insults, trauma, solar or free radical damage; and repairs and REGENERATES damaged skin cells and tissues.

It is the most surprising solution for the health of the skin, because it supports our skin in its role as an active organ in our defense and immunity, and it is also a very safe and effective topical solution for the skin concerns of people of all ages, skin types and skin conditions.

And with use over a period of 60 days it yields healthy skin that appears naturally luminous whatever its shade, from porcelain to richest ebony.

What Is Actinic Keratosis (Solar Keratosis)?

The word actinic comes for the Greek word “actis” and “actinos” which mean ray or radiant energy. The sun causes many different changes and damage in the skin, one of those is known as actinic keratosis or solar keratosis.

Keratosis is the build up of keratin on the skin and can be due to many causes; however, the most common cause is over- exposure of skin areas to the sun. And these areas usually become sore and inflamed.

What exactly is Actinic Keratosis?

It is a very common sun induced skin disorder characterized by dry scaly, rough textured areas that appear on the outer layer of the skin. A predisposition for solar keratosis is also a genetic disease. These patches of damaged skin or skin lesions are caused by the overexposure to the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays.

The little lesions on the skin are characterized by a small raised crusty bump that range from the size of a pin head and can grow up to an inch or two. They are of a significant different skin color to the non-affected skin and range from being light and dark pink to red, light and dark brown or a combination of all of these.

The scaly bumps can become hornlike in shape and are most commonly recognized by touch rather than by sight. It is occasionally itchy as well as slightly tingly with a light stinging sensation. All these characteristics are heightened and become much more obvious after being exposed to the sun.

Actinic keratosis primarily appears on the areas that are most frequently in direct contact with the suns UV rays (synonyms of actinic keratosis). The main areas where it appears are on the face, ears, a bald scalp, neck, backs of the hands and arms and the lips. In some cases it has been known to appear on the buttocks and thighs.

Lesions on the lips are known as Actinic cheilitis (it is also the most aggressive form) characterized by a white scaling and thickening of the lips in affected areas.

On the head and neck the small lesions are usually flat, while on the arms and hands they are elevated. So if one stays away from the sun it is possible for the skin to heal itself gradually and get rid of the keratosis build up.

Anyone that has actinic keratosis has received serious skin damage caused by nothing less than the harsh UV rays of the sun, which obviously makes the sufferer more susceptible to other sun related skin diseases and can ultimately end up in skin cancer.

Who can get Actinic Keratosis (Actinic Keratoses)?

Sun damage is accumulated in the skin over a long period of time. Most of the damaging sun exposure that a human receives happens before reaching eighteen years of age. However it is a life time of sun exposure that causes sun related skin diseases and not that last tanning session or vacation at the seaside or that ski trip in the mountains.

With the constant thinning of the ozone layer the dangerous UV rays are in much more closer contact with the earth and this therefore includes all of us roaming around doing simply daily tasks.

Blonde-haired, blue-eyed, fair skinned people are at the highest risk of any skin damage. However red heads, and people with lighter colored eyes (gray, green and blue) are at greater risk too; this is because they have less protective pigmentation and are most affected by sunburn.

This does not mean that people that have darker skin, hair and eyes cannot develop keratosis; they most definitely can especially if they are exposed often enough to the sun without sufficient protection.

People who also suffer from any of the immunosuppressant such as chemotherapy, AIDS or organ transplantation are also at great risk of suffering actinic keratosis. What happens is that while the body is healthy the lesions are kept at bay; it as soon as the body becomes ill and weak, these keratosis` build ups can become malignant.

Another interesting fact is that Actinic Keratosis (AK) generally appears after the age of 40, since it takes a lot of accumulated sun damage. Although hit is not solely limited to adults; teens can also suffer from Actinic Keratosis, especially if they live in areas that receive high-intensity sunlight throughout the year.

While many early actinic keratosis lesions do regress or are destroyed by the immune response, or by applying our topical solution, many don't.

The thicker the AK and the longer it has been there, the greater the potential for it becoming a fully malignant lesion (e.g. squamous cell carcinoma) so the proper thing to do about them depends on how impressive the lesion is. Some are mild and some are thick, large and potentially very dangerous hypertrophic lesions that are difficult to distinguish from a squamous cell carcinoma clinically or even histologically.

AKs are not created equal, and there is no substitute for good clinical judgement in deciding which ones are dangerous, so if you have worries about yours consult a Doctors as soon as possible. The longer an AK hangs around, the more likely it is to do something nasty.

Beware of the warning signs of transformation of actinic keratosis to squamous cell carcinoma, i.e. thickening, soreness, crusting and bleeding.

Prevention and treatment of Actinic Keratosis - Solar Keratosis

• Generously apply a broad spectrum sun blocker (one that covers against both UVA and UVB rays) that has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or more, daily. Remember to reapply after perspiring and after being submerged in water.
• Avoid deliberate tanning. Still while wearing sun blocker, sunbathing is not secure.
• Tanning beds and sunlamps are not safe choices because they also emit UV rays. So AVOID deliberate tanning.
• Remain out of the sun between 10 a .m. and 4 p.m. This moment is when the sun's rays are the strongest.
• Look for shade anytime possible. If you don't see your shadow or your shadow is shorter than you, it is crucial to seek cover.
• Put on protecting clothing when you are on the sun, items like long sleeved tops and long legged pants will protect your skin from. Be aware that the material is not a loose knitted fabric as the suns UV rays will penetrate through clothing.
• A wide-brimmed hat is a must to protect your face and neck from the harmful rays.
• Wear sunglasses that provide 100% UV protection and a wide brimmed hat to protect the eyes and sensitive skin on the face.
• The body needs to absorb vitamin D, however do this by simply following a healthy diet that includes vitamin supplements and avoid gaining the vital vitamin directly from the sun.
• Be extra careful when near water, snow and sand; the reflection of the UV rays is just as dangerous and damaging as the direct contact to the rays.

Look after you outer self!

ACTINIC KERATOSIS IS AN EARLY SIGN OF SKIN CANCER… read the signals carefully and get treatment before it's too late.

Actinic keratosis is not easily cured but it is easily controlled and over time with proper care and attention paid to the affected skin, the problem will slowly disappear. The first step in medical care is usually based on educating the person on the dangers of the suns rays as well as teaching the patient how to limit sun exposure and the progress that this will have on the healing process.

Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers, afflicting more than two million Americans each year, a number that is rising rapidly. It is also the easiest to cure, if diagnosed and treated early: read more

Unfortunately it is impossible to tell before hand which of the lesions on the skin could possible become cancerous, so the right type of treatment is usually discussed with the medical practitioner.

Treatment Options:

• Chemical peeling involves the application of various chemical solutions, to the affected areas of the skin, which cause the skin to blister and eventually peel away the affected areas. This allows for new skin to form in the epidermis and cell regeneration takes place.
• Scraping or Curettage is the process whereby a surgeon uses an apparatus to scrape off the area of the skin that is affected. Sometimes this process is succeeded by electrosurgery (an electric current destroys the affected tissue)
• Cryotherapy… also known as freezing is the treatment whereby a cold substance like liquid nitrogen is applied to the areas of the skin that are affected by actinic keratosis. The liquid nitrogen burns off the lesion by freezing it off the skins surface. The cold burnt skin eventually falls off and new skin is able to grow and take its place. It is the most common treatment and takes few minutes to complete.
• Photodynamic therapy involves an agent applied to the skin that makes the skin sensitive to light (usually applied by injection or topically). An intense light is then point in the area and the laser light destroys the damaged skin cells.
• Retinoids is an oral drug (isotretinoin) is very effective in treating actinic keratosis. However it is only recommended in high risk cases because it has significantly high risk side effects.
• Creams and Ointments destroy actinic keratosis cells by blocking essential reactions within them. Creams can be used as an actinic keratosis natural therapy for they support the skin's immune system and stimulate the body's own natural rejection of these precancerous cells.

BIOSKINCARE CREAM for Actinic Keratosis Treatment

BIOSKINCARE CREAM is based on a biological ingredient, a natural skin regeneration and immune serum with cell-communicating ingredients; enzymes that "dissolve" or "digest" damaged cells and abnormal keratin deposits; activators of skin regeneration that act as growth factors stimulating the fibroblasts to generate new cells and the components of the extracellular skin matrix, and antimicrobial peptides.

The biological serum is a secretion collected from live snails of the species Helix Aspersa Müller. The very same this snail generates in its immune cells and secretes onto its skin to quickly regenerate its own shell and skin when damaged.

This mollusk does not have an adaptive immune system however its innate defense system is stronger as well as faster that the innate defense system of humans, which in both is designed to respond at the site of a local injury to defend the organism from pathogens or abnormal events and to reestablish the health of the whole body.

The serum is secreted to coat and heal cuts and abrasions, defend the skin from damaging solar radiation and free radicals, repair damage to the DNA, and maintain skin moisturized.

It has a fundamental function in the orchestration of an organized and scar-less regrowth of skin tissues ruined by injuries or insults, and also the regeneration of wounded tissues that result from accidents or by the action of predators.

The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial peptides from the serum of land snails have been known for years and scientists have focused on replicating them (by biosynthesis) in the laboratory. This is a venue that may yield drugs after long years of clinical testing but requires the allocation of huge sums and that is not going to happen because the secretion cannot be patented because it is a naturally occurring substance.

Fortunately the snail serum as it is naturally can perform for human skin what it does for the snails themselves: quickly repair skin damage and fight invading micro-organisms.

We have dedicated research and care into creating a product that incorporates the immune serum into a cream that can when applied to the skin daily it goes into the dermis and heals sun damaged skin and skin lesions, and has excellent preventative properties.

It is is also safer, better for you and easier for your body than any clever formulation designed by a pharmacist, and it can also be used in conjunction with prescription and over the counter medical actinic keratosis treatments.

BIOSKINCARE CREAM is also highly effective to use in conjunction with the topical, oral and surgical treatments dermatologists and medical professionals prescribe. It will complement the healing process of the initial treatments and in its own way heal the skin leaving you with a beautiful complexion.

BIOSKINCARE CREAM - How it helps:

• Softens the tissues - the cellular membrane - of abnormal skin cells, such as are found in lesions, strange moles, and sores that don't heal, and then your body's natural immune system, comprised of white blood cells, lymphocytes, T-cells and macrophages, is free to attack as it would any foreign invader or suspicious cells.
• Supplies the necessary amino acids that are the building blocks of all proteins, especially copper peptides which are abundantly found in the snail secretions. These proteins and peptides have antimicrobial properties that help to trigger skin regeneration. Amino acids are also vital for the construction of collagen and elastin, which are the support structures of the skin.
• Dissolves scar tissues and helps the process of rebuilding new collagen and elastin into the skin, cumulative effects are more noticeable every day and become permanent.
• Inhibits and down-regulates the chemical inflammatory promoters that increase during skin inflammation
• Helps to hydrate dry and damaged skin due to the lack of moisture and natural oil that the skin requires to keep it looking healthy.
• Moisturizing agents such as lipids and humectants minimize damaging interactions between surfactants, and skin proteins and lipids, and thereby, reduce skin damage.
• Restores a younger skin by reconstructing the capacity of healthy skin to hold in moisture and by removing damaged proteins and replacing them with blemish free skin.
• BIOSKINCARE CREAM will help the skin to defend itself against the free radicals that cause premature aging and skin cancer thanks to the low molecular weight antioxidants it contains and the copper peptides which stimulate collagen synthesis and have an antioxidant effect.

Ongoing research about the causes and triggers of actinic keratosis and about the effects of the bioactive ingredients in the snail serum may explain the excellent results that thousands of our customers have found with the use of the cream as you may check the testimonials on this page.

The serum aids in the skin renewal process better than when skin regeneration is triggered with exfoliation or various controlled skin damage methods.

It enhances the skin's natural regenerative responses by stimulating new capillary formation (known as angiogenesis), which increases the biosynthesis of collagen, elastin and the water-holding proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, providing an intense long-lasting hydration by reinforcing the resistance of the outer skin layer against dehydration.

The active ingredient penetrates deeply into the dermis.

We have developed a biotechnology that protects this precious serum from degrading, while being collected; avoiding hydrolysis of the proteins and de-naturalization of the enzymes and peptides contained in the serum while allowing for the release of the biological compound deep within the skin.

BIOSKINCARE CREAM has more to offer you than you may imagine, especially if you are suffering form actinic keratosis.

• It stimulates Collagen formation resulting in diminished fine lines and firmer skin.
• It stimulates Elastin formation, cutting down on sagging and fine lines.
• It will stimulate the replacement of damaged skin cells, therefore getting rid of scarring and necrotic tissues.
• Stimulate the formation of the extracellular binding between cells, thus improving skin strength, cutting down on fragility.
• Stimulate the formation of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that give skin its capacity to keep in moisture. This helps to thicken the dermis resulting in a lessening of sagging and helps firm the skin.
• Increases blood vessel formation and oxygenation within the skin.
• Acts as a powerful antioxidant.
• Inhibits microbiological activity of dangerous, pathogenic skin bacteria, including acne.

We make several products with the serum as the base and by adding other natural ingredients that act in synergy or complement the effects of the serum so as to alleviate all symptoms and create visible results.

Our products are formulated for the treatment of acne, acne scars, wrinkles, burns, rosacea, keloids, actinic keratosis treatment and prevention, age spots, melasma, ingrown hairs, razor burns, the healing of sun damaged skin, the treatment of keratosis pilaris, extreme dermatitis, eczema, keloid scars, rosacea rhinophyma, and much more. We also make Bioskinexfol, a home microdermabrasion cream with the same base cream as in BIOSKINCARE and for faster exfoliation of dull and damaged skin.

The hypoallergenic skin creams will help to regenerate new collagen and elastin, which improves skin firmness and elasticity while increasing the production of water holding glycosaminoglycans (carboHYDRATE molecules that truly moisturize).

They also gently ditch out damaged cells of your skin regularly by the action of the metabolic digesting of damaged proteins by the enzymes that are essential components of the serum. And with no trauma, unlike exfoliating scrubs, microdermabrasion or peeling with acids.

Not only will you slough off the dull, dead, superficial layer of skin that is less than a micron thick, regularly, gently, by the action of dissolving enzymes, you will keep the circulation of oxygen and flowing through your body, which will rejuvenate your skin.

The serum does a fantastic job in increasing the skin's own natural defense mechanism against oxidative damage and reinforces the skins protective barrier. As a result the skin is able to remodel itself and restore its elastic properties, and clears the skin of mild actinic keratosis lesions and scales –sun induced, pre cancerous skin lesions.

Beware for large, multiple or inflamed actinic keratosis lesions need to be treated thoroughly to prevent their conversion to squamous cell carcinoma. This avoids the potentially more invasive and extensive treatment of a subsequent malignancy. Regular follow-up visits to a Doctor are usually needed when there are many keratosis scales.

Why Some of the Most Prestigious Dermatologists In the World Say It Works?

Link: Synapse 2008 - The website with publications of researchers enrolled by the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center of New York. Check this scientific research too: Synapse, Published on April 2012: "A secretion of the mollusc Cryptomphalus aspersa promotes proliferation, migration and survival of keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts in vitro". Please note that our products are not endorsed by the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York but their published research validates the regenerative properties of the immune serum conclusively.

Scientific screening has unveiled the cellular and molecular effects that lead to skin regeneration when the serum collected from land snails of the species Helix Aspersa or Crystomphalus Aspersa, also known as the humble brown garden snail, (and without inflicting any harm to these surprising little creatures), is applied to human skin.

Scientific breakdown of the immune serum has discovered it is a powerful antioxidant substance also packed with enzymes, proteins, peptides, co-enzymes, trace elements (Copper, Zinc, Iron & Calcium) and complex sulfated acidic glyco (sugar) molecules that scientists classify as: glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans.

All these act in synergy with other natural ingredients incorporated in the products to:

• normalize dilation of capillaries that otherwise cause red blotches on the skin
• stimulate an orderly release of fibrin which protects the fragile inner walls of the blood vessels and promotes unhindered blood flow promote the formation of new healthy capillaries
• induce the production of antimicrobial peptides on skin to destroy parasites, microbes, fungi and virus, without creating any bacterial resistance
• enhance inter and intracellular communication thus regulating the orchestrated renewal, turnover and regeneration of all the structural components of healthy skin
• regulate connective tissue breakdown by inhibiting or enhacing the action of enzymes
• moderate skin inflammation through antioxidants and enzymatic dissolution of damaged proteins thereby supporting the immune system
• trigger the regeneration of skin cells and the repair of injuries without aberrant scars
• safely support your body’s innate ability to heal itself
• intensively moisturize and naturally hydrate the skin from within by retaining water and enhancing the ability of your body to produce the water holding molecules in the skin matrix that give skin elasticity, strength, resilience and the capacity to withstand pressure and over-stretching.

BIOSKINBALM is a complete and balanced intense skin treatment we guarantee will work for you.

Treatment for Rhynophyma Rosacea

Thought I would let you know that after using BIOSKINBALM for two months the rhinophyma (acne rosacea) on my nose is now impossible to see but I can still feel a bit of it. My nose now looks like it did before I got the first rhinophyma in 1999. What is more my brother reports from New Zealand that after only two weeks his nose, which is much worse than mine, has lost much of its redness and this is only after two weeks use. I have been using the product for two months. The acne scars on my forehead have reduced dramatically and can now be concealed with only the Jane Iredale mineral powder. No longer need the camouflage cream. I put a mention of this on the Femail board yesterday because that is where I discovered your product. I will also drop a line to my dermatologist.

BIOSKINREPAIR is formulated to shrink keloids and abnormal scars. And it also helps to prevent scars before and after surgery.

Shrinking of Keloids

I had an upper right pulmonary lobectomy; and, subsequently developed four small (1/2' or less) and one large (4') keloids on the chest wall on the right side of my rib cage and another small (1/2') one on my back. In about a year they became prominent keloids. Being African American and no stranger to keloids I took it in stride (conventional medical wisdom is that nothing can be done). But when they became painful; despite my being a fitness enthusiast and working out every day. Your cream has significantly reduced all of them, especially the larger one.

BIOSKINCARE when used with Isotretinoin Drugs (Accutane® and other brands) prevents and heals the side effects of those drugs that impair the production of sebum and make skin extremely fragile.

Takes Away The Side Effects of Accutane®

I have struggled with acne all my life but finally by my forties, with care, it was pretty much gone. Then as I approached the end of obtaining my college degree (very late in life!) I was very, very stressed out and sleep deprived. My face broke out horribly. I thought with over the counter stuff it would blow over in a week or two. It got worse and I could not stop picking and digging at it. My face looked almost bloody and was very greasy. The doctor put me on 20 mg of Accutane® per day. Accutane® is great and does work but I remembered all the awful scaling & peeling I had. But I had to do something so I dutiful began to take my Accutane® knowing it would knock out this acne.

About the same time I was cruising around online I stumbled about the phrase ‘does wonders for those taking accutane®’ or something like that. I tracked it down and came to this website. Oh it all looked too good to be true! I read and read and read some more, checked out every single ingredient, even found another product similar but it had ingredients known to cause acne. I thought it was expensive but I was desperate and I knew I could cancel on my credit card if I hated it. I got it and started to use it morning and night. Within seven days my skin began to calm down. I had very little skin dryness with the high dose of Accutane® I was taking.

It was slow going healing and scar fading because I am older but in two months time you will be very happy like I was. You will slowly get better day by day. Not good for a few days and then set back and then start again. You just keep going. It has diminished scars somewhat but it makes the rest of your skin look so good you look better all over!!! This without a doubt a good healthy product. It should be prescribed or sold with every single prescription of Accutane®. This is not just a feel good and smell good cream. This is medicinal and will truly help you. It sort of makes your skin whole, not just one part okay and the rest yucky, there is a overall consistency. I was generous with the first jar, every morning and night, now I am just at night. I use it all over my face, right around my eyes and on my throat sometimes. Life is hard enough but facing the world with attractive healthy skin is just one less thing to worry about. Thank from the bottom of my heart.
