P. acnes, a bacteria that lives on our skin naturally, can multiply quickly within our pores under the right conditions.
This increase in bacteria can cause swelling and redness, which appears on the skin as acne.
HOW COULD THIS AFFECT ME?
When antibiotics stop working, it becomes harder—sometimes impossible—to treat certain infections. Antibiotic-resistant infections usually last longer and can be more expensive to treat.
SEYSARA is the only antibiotic tablet for acne that has shown a low likelihood of developing antibiotic resistance in acne.* This does not mean that it is impossible to develop antibiotic resistance while taking SEYSARA, but that the likelihood is low.
* At 4–8 times the minimum inhibitory concentration of SEYSARA, the spontaneous mutation frequency of P. acnes in the skin was 10-10 (1 in 10 billion).1
