If you’re like me, nurturing and preserving your child’s well-being and confidence is generally top of my mind. And, unfortunately, skin issues like acne or eczema, however minor, can be a threat to their self-esteem. Especially as the new school year begins, when anxiety and jitters are running high, the last thing you want is for your child to feel insecure about their latest breakout or flair up. 

But before you rush over to CVS to grab that bottle of Benzoyl peroxide or to your derm to get a quick prescription for antibiotics or Accutane, you might want to consider a safer, more sustainable long-term alternative: the MD-03 Phage Protocol™. The MD-03 is a safe, long-term solution. Parallel’s MD-03 is centered around a Custom Active Phage Serum designed for your skin microbiome type, which contains a phage cocktail that precisely kills the bacteria causing breakouts while leaving the good bacteria alone. Here’s why Parallel’s precision phage therapy might be the better choice for your child over benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, and Accutane.

Parallel’s phages work with your skin microbiome, not against it

Understanding the skin’s microbiome (the balance of good and bad bacteria) with the Skin Discovery Test, enables you to access more targeted treatment. While antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria, phages precisely weed out the pathogenic bacteria while leaving the good bacteria alone. Additionally, this precision method can save time and effort long-term by potentially reducing the need for frequent dermatologist visits and trial-and-error solutions. 

Parallel’s phages are safer

Unlike benzoyl peroxide, long-term antibiotics, or Accutane, which affect the whole body and can lead to a range of serious side effects like joint pain, gut problems, and mental health issues, phages are natural microbes that have shown no side effects in any trial around the world. Here’s why: humans have evolved to live with phages. In fact, we each have over 2M phages on or in our bodies right now. They are ubiquitous. Parallel’s phages are topical and applied directly on the skin, avoiding the systemic side effects associated with oral medications. Unlike benzoyl peroxide, phages do not cause redness or dryness. Unlike antibiotics, they do not cause gut issues or antibiotic resistance. And unlike Accutane, phages do not pose birth defect risks.

Proven results: Parallel’s phages are effective and reliable

Clinical studies have shown that precision phage treatments can reduce acne lesions by up to 99.9% and can start working in as little as a few hours. While the success rate of benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, and Accutane can be up to 85% to see long-term improvement, they are also accompanied by significant side effects that may outweigh the improvements.

Easy to use

Unlike antibiotics or Accutane, which require daily pills and regular blood tests (and birth control for female users), phage serums are really easy to use. Simply apply to the affected areas twice daily. 

If your child is experiencing skin issues, consider discovering the right phage serum. Compared to benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, and Accutane, Parallel’s precision phages offer a focused, safer, and often more convenient treatment option with fewer side effects. For added convenience, Parallel’s MD-03 Phage Protocol™ also provides 24/7 access to a board-certified doctor to answer any questions.
