What is Demodex?
Demodex folliculorum, male above and female below, from Desch and Nutting (1972).

Since the beginning of the 21st century, many scientific researches on healthy skin have been released globally. From all the global clinical researches on skin problems, Dr. Qu Kuizun suggested the new phenomenal and revolutionary skin care solution. Dr. Qu Kuizun has been researching the skin mite, the Demodex parasitic living in our skin.
From 1950 to 1985, for 35 years, he conducted clinical research with 905,801 of participants all over the world and he announced that 97.68% of the populations have a swarm of mites, not only on the face but also inside of hair.
Demodex is a mite living in the skin. It is parasitic on the skin of people and animals all around the globe. It was first found in the 1800’s. There are two types of living demodex in the human skin. First is the Demodex brevisis, a shorter sized demodex that usually lives in glands. Second one called the Demodex folliculorum has a longer tale and usually lives in the hair follicles.
97.68%of Adults have Demodex living in their skin. Its thickness is ½ ~2/3 that of a human hair and average length of 0.28mm.
It has 8 short and rough legs and has an elongated bottom. It goes into the follicles and lay eggs.
Demodex lives in the sebum and absorb nutrition, water, and oxygen from cells and has a high reproductive rate, which after mating, it only takes 12 hours to lay about 50~60 eggs, then it will take approximately 2 weeks for them the demodex to develop into adults. Once they are fully grown they live for about 60~90 days and the dead mites will decompose inside the hair follicles.
They avoid lights and prefer warm places. During the day, they consume nutrition inside the skin and during the night they came out of the follicles to mate. It is a fact that a person has approximately 63,000 pores. Now, imagine about 7~8 demodexes that live in just 1 pore.
What does the Demodex do to the skin?
It causes our skin to have acne, uneven skin tone, and rough skin texture along with cornification.
Demodex brevis lives by nibbling on the gland cells.
When Demodex moves along the glands, it goes in and out of the pore and walks on our skin, where we feel itchy.
Demodex takes over our skin and makes it their home. It turns our skin into rough area. To give an example, it is just like a mole, where they make tunnels underground and makes uneven surface.
The excrement of Demodex and dead Demodex make a physical chemistry reaction with each other, causing serious skin problems and cornification. It also destroys capillaries.
The reason for saggy skin is because of the many pores that gets enlarged due to the demodex getting in and out of the skin. As mentioned before demodex is 1/2 to 2/3 the size of a hair. Imagine having 7~8 of them in one pore moving in and out. It will definitely stretch out each pore. The skin then loses elasticity, thus causing more wrinkles.
Demodex also causes pigmentation.
Melanin is the factor for each individual races skin color.
When melanin does not get decomposed, the skin is darker. Caucasians decompose melanin much easier which is why their skin is whiter. Lastly, Asians have a certain limit to how much they can decompose, which shows a tan/yellowish color.
When there are pigmentation in the skin, it means that the epidermis is not working properly to decompose melanin, resulting in freckles and age spots. In order to rid of pigmentation, epidermis needs to regenerate to renew the skin.
Most people's epidermis is filled with polluted, cosmetic wastes, and other substances that prevents the epidermis from regenerating, demodex also being one of the causes.
As mentioned before, after 60~90 days, the demodex will die and will decay in the pore. Being one of the reasons why the epidermis cannot work properly. Demodex lives in the gland and feeds off the main ingredient of the epidermis, the Collagen and the Elastin. It will destroy the capillaries and promote early aging.
In conclusion the epidermis needs to work properly in order to prevent pigmentation. Otherwise, treatments will be just temporary and have a high possible chance of reoccurrence.
50% of Atopic dermatitis is caused by demodex skin mites.
To get the cause of allergy reactions from adult patients, they performed the patch test, which resulted in 50% of them having demodex living in their skin.
Demodex nibbles wall of hair root and consume the nutrition that is supposed to go to the hair root and this weakens the hair root.
Also Demodex moves in and out of the skin repetitively and makes pore to be stretched out and cause infections to loss hair.
Demodex walks with its claws so you will become scurfy and have itchiness together.
Dr, Qu Kuizun’s research on Demodex brought new revolutionary solution to dermatology.
