Papulex product range targets root causes of acne

THE Papulex range of acne care products, which has a unique triple-action formula that addresses the root causes of acne, is now available in the Philippines. 

According to Ms. Ninia Torres, Country Head of Invida Philippines, “the Papulex range of acne care products is clinically-proven effective for all forms of acne. Unlike some over-the-counter anti-acne products, the safety and efficacy of Papulex is backed by clinical studies.”

“Papulex helps block the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation and sebum production, and helps prevent clogging of skin pores,” said Professor Giuseppe Micali, Head of Department of Dermatology in the University of Catania, Italy and Founding Member of the Italian Acne Board and Acne Mediterranean Group. 

Professor Micali was the guest speaker during the launch of the Papulex range of acne care products held on April 25, 2012 at the Crowne Plaza Galleria Hotel in Quezon City.
