Arthrocann Gel skin care Benefits of Colloidal Silver

“Colloidal silver has anti-fungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties,” Dr. Sadick says. Therefore, its anti-inflammatory quality makes it a skincare heavy-hitter, as nearly all skin issues — including redness, acne, and chronic conditions like dermatitis and rosacea — stem from inflammation. But its unique way of fighting off acne-causing bacteria is where colloidal silver really shines.

“The particles attach themselves to the proteins on the cellular wall of the bacteria, where they penetrate into the cell to disrupt the metabolic processes of the bacteria. Therefore, leading to the death of the bacteria,” Nicolas Travis, founder of beauty brand Allies of Skin said. “Think of silver as suffocating the bacteria; cutting off its cellular respiration.”

This antibacterial power combines with colloidal silver’s anti-fungal benefits to foster a healthy microbiome (AKA, the environment of good bacteria on your skin), leaving the skin’s barrier better protected.
