Our skin is an amazing organ and unfortunately, it is affected by many microorganisms.

Our skin secretes ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES ( AMPs ), which is the primary system of protection and also its responses to some microbial invasions too.

Cutaneous production of antimicrobial secretions helps in reducing inflammations and psoriasis.
