PROBLEM: Ingrown Hairs

Many people experience ingrown hairs, also known as Pseudofolliculitis Barbae or razor bumps. Ingrown hairs happen when the end of the hair shaft is shaved very low, curling back into the same hair follicle as it grows.

An ingrown hair irritates the skin. It produces a raised, red bump (or group of bumps) that looks like a little pimple. Sometimes an ingrown hair can form a painful, boil-like sore. 

In men, ingrown hairs often pop up as a bunch of little bumps on the chin, cheeks, or neck after they've shaved. In women, ingrown hairs are common on the legs.

SOLUTION: Daily exfoliating is key to managing ingrown hairs.
The most effective exfoliating ingredients for managing and preventing ingrown hairs are Salicylic acid, Azelaic acid, & Glycolic acid.

PFB Vanish is globally recognised as the #1 skincare brand for ingrown hairs and hyperpigmentation.

PROBLEM: Keratosis Pilaris

Keratosis Pilaris is a common skin condition that appears on the arms, legs, buttocks, and cheeks as small, painless red bumps. It can cause your skin to feel rough and dry, signalling that it’s in need of hydration!  

The cause of keratosis pilaris is unknown, but it’s thought to be something to do with an overproduction of keratin in the skin, which is caused by hyperkeratinisation.

SOLUTION: Due to an overproduction of keratin, the best form of treatment is exfoliation with proven exfoliating agents to brush away the dead skin cells that develop as a result.

The best exfoliating agents for keratosis pilaris include glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid.  AHAs and BHAs help to remove the glue-like attachments that play a role in keratinisation.

PROBLEM: SCARS

Scars are another skincare concern which many people have, particularly after surgery or injury. 

The most aggressive scar types, and the types that people want to avoid, include keloids and hypertrophic scars. These scar types are marked by their raised, ropey, and discoloured appearance.

SOLUTION: The best way to treat scars is to use clinically-proven methods and doctor-recommended therapies, such as medical silicone gel or sheets. It is thought that the occlusive barrier which is formed when using silicone gel or sheets, helps hydrate the scar tissue while protecting it from chemical, physical and microbial invasion. It has also been shown that silicone sheets and gels can be beneficial for itching scars, and can also reduce the size and pain/discomfort associated with scars.
