QS CONTROL AC controls inflammatory acne by disrupting the bacterial Cell-to-Cell Communication (Quorum Sensing) in P. acnes.
Quorum Sensing (QS) refers to a series of phenomena regulating the minimum population density or triggering the active proliferation of bacteria to form a quorum and adjusting the expression of the accompanying genes. Bacteria population density increase is accompanied by the production and accumulation of low-molecular substances called autoinducers outside of the cells. If the concentration of these substances reach a certain level gene expression is induced. As a result of this quorum sensing, the bacteria exhibit diverse biological activity to include, symbiosis, virulence, competence, conjugation, antibiotic production, motility, sporulation and biofilm formation. A research approach to quorum sensing can have the beneficial target of suppressing the virulence of bacteria.
Existing acne treatment materials are mostly antimicrobial agents for destruction of acne bacteria. This results in the occurrence of weaknesses such as skin dryness and increased antimicrobial resistance.
Therefore, DermaLab has set a new paradigm through the development of a treatment with an Anti Quorum Sensing effect which can resolve the limits of existing antimicrobial treatments.
