Collagen: This is usually just a humectant moisturiser, since it can’t get through the stratum corneum, but because of the microneedles this is much less of an issue. Adding broken (hydrolysed) collagen to the skin can stimulate it to produce more collagen, which is how collagen supplements could potentially work.

The length of the microneedles makes a huge difference. Longer needles can get into the dermis, which is why you might’ve seen microneedling videos online where there’s a ton of blood. But shorter microneedles can be designed to go deep enough to get past the dead stratum corneum, but not so deep that you can feel any pain or end up with any bleeding. How do dissolving microneedles work? Dissolving microneedles gently penetrate the stratum corneum to reach the living epidermis, then slowly dissolve to deliver the active ingredients inside them. The needles are made of water-soluble ingredients, so they can dissolve when they’re applied and meet the water in your skin. After they dissolve and deliver the active ingredients (around 2 hours), there’s no solid material left in the skin so the risk of irritation is very low.The bacteria resting on the skin is known as Propionibacterium acnes, or P. acnes, and has been positively associated with acne and skin infections [1]. When bacteria combine with dirt and oil under the skin, it can often become infected and inflamed. This then presents similar to cystic acne – as red, painful bumps under the skin. How do you pop a blind pimple?
