We explored the potential of oregano essential oil (EO) and probiotics in battling acne. Our study focused on how these natural ingredients could work together to inhibit the growth of bacteria associated with acne vulgaris.
After evaluating several probiotic strains and natural extracts, we found that one specific probiotic, PCB003, was able to effectively inhibit the bacteria responsible for acne. Among the various EOs tested, oregano EO demonstrated the most promising results, especially since it did not harm probiotic growth.
We designed topical patches using alginate and trehalose, finding that these materials effectively preserved the probiotics. When combined with PCB003 and PCB011, the patches not only inhibited bacterial growth significantly but also outperformed standard over-the-counter acne patches.
Notably, when we incorporated oregano EO into the patches, the results were even better. The patches with 30% oregano EO showed an impressive increase in the inhibition zone, achieving substantial inhibition against acne-causing bacteria. Overall, our results suggest that combining probiotics with oregano EO could provide a powerful, natural solution for acne treatment.

L Carnitine
We set out to understand how a special sunscreen containing licochalcone A (LicA) and L-carnitine (LC) could help with acne and related skin issues when used alongside a well-known medication called adapalene. This investigation involved 51 participants aged 18 and older who had mild to moderate acne. They were first given adapalene for two weeks to gauge its effectiveness and side effects.
After this initial phase, patients were split into two groups. One group used the new LicA sunscreen while the other used a sunscreen with niacinamide, applying it every four hours during the day for another month. We monitored their skin conditions at two and four weeks to see if there were any improvements in acne severity and skin reactions.
Ultimately, while adapalene helped reduce acne symptoms, many participants reported unpleasant side effects like dryness and stinging. Adding either sunscreen not only continued to improve acne severity but also skin tolerability. Notably, fewer individuals using the LicA sunscreen experienced scaliness after four weeks compared to those with the comparator. More participants felt their treatment with the LicA sunscreen significantly improved their condition, reinforcing its potential benefit.
Despite the improvements seen, the study did not isolate L-carnitine’s specific effects on acne treatment explicitly, making it difficult to gauge its individual contribution. In summary, combining LicA sunscreen with adapalene proved to be helpful for many, particularly in enhancing skin tolerance to treatment among Malaysian patients.

B3 Niacin

We investigated how nicotinic acid, also known as niacin, influences sebocytes—cells responsible for producing sebum—in the context of acne treatment. Our research focused on understanding whether niacin could effectively modulate sebaceous lipogenesis, especially in conditions where excess sebum production occurs, as seen in acne.
In our studies using immortalized human sebocyte lines, we found that when used at safe concentrations, niacin did not disrupt normal sebum production. However, it did manage to reduce excessive sebum production triggered by certain lipogenic agents, making it a potential candidate for acne management. Furthermore, we noted that niacin increased calcium signaling within the cells and showed an anti-proliferative effect, suggesting it could help regulate sebocyte activity.
Interestingly, while niacin did not inhibit inflammation caused by lipopolysaccharides, its ability to normalize excessive sebum production is noteworthy. Our findings reveal that sebocytes express hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA), which seems essential for niacin's action. Silencing this receptor inhibited niacin's effects, indicating a specific pathway through which niacin could exert its influence on sebum production.
Overall, our data suggest that niacin and other HCA activators might serve as promising treatments for controlling acne by suppressing excess sebum formation, potentially offering a safer option for individuals concerned about traditional treatments that can lead to dryness.

We examined how calcium treatment influences sebum production, particularly in relation to acne. Sebocytes, the cells in our skin that produce oil, were treated with calcium, and we confirmed increased lipid production using well-established techniques. This response is important because excessive sebum is a key factor in acne development.
Our findings showed that calcium not only increased the overall sebum output but also stepped up the levels of several key regulators involved in the lipogenesis process. Notably, we observed that calcium treatment boosted the expression of proteins like SREBP1, which plays a crucial role in managing lipid levels in skin cells.
We also discovered that the transcription factor KLF4 was elevated with calcium treatment. This raised a fascinating question: could KLF4 be enhancing lipid production? To test this, we overexpressed KLF4 in sebocytes, and indeed found that it further stimulated the expression of lipid-producing proteins and increased overall lipid production.
In conclusion, our study sheds light on the significant role of calcium in sebum production and highlights KLF4 as a promising new regulator in this process. These insights may open doors for developing more effective acne treatments by targeting sebum production pathways.

We explored how zinc treatment may help with inflammatory skin conditions like acne vulgaris, rosacea, and hidradenitis suppurativa. These conditions can appear quite similar, which makes diagnosing them a bit tricky. By examining gene expression data across these three disorders, we noticed that certain zinc-binding proteins were consistently elevated in all cases.
Our hypothesis centers around these proteins possibly sequestering zinc, which could promote inflammation due to local zinc deficiency. To investigate this further, we identified high-dose dietary zinc as a potential therapeutic option. This was tested and validated in an acne mouse model, showing promising results for its effectiveness in reducing the inflammation associated with acne.
Although the study specifically highlighted the isolated effect of zinc, it strongly suggests that incorporating high doses of dietary zinc might offer a new avenue for treatment. This could be an encouraging option for those struggling with acne, pointing to a novel approach grounded in scientific findings.

Inositol
We embarked on a study to examine the effectiveness of inositol when used alongside metformin for women struggling with acne related to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Our research involved a randomized trial with two groups: one group received metformin alone, while the other combined metformin with myoinositol and D-chiro-inositol over a six-month period.
After analyzing the results, we observed that the group receiving the combined treatment showed a statistically significant improvement in their acne scores. Notably, the group taking both metformin and inositol experienced better skin outcomes compared to the group on metformin alone. Furthermore, additional metabolic and hormonal improvements were noted in this combined therapy group as well.
However, it’s essential to point out that our study did not isolate the effects of inositol alone on acne. So, while the combination showed promise for improving acne among women with PCOS, we're not claiming that inositol on its own is a guaranteed solution. Further research with a larger sample size and a focus on inositol's individual impact will be crucial for confirming these findings.

Four treatment sessions were spaced two weeks apart, followed by assessments two weeks after the final session. We measured improvements using clinical evaluations, 3D imaging technology to analyze blood flow in the skin, and patient feedback.
Our findings indicated that both treatments led to significant improvements in reducing skin redness. However, the tranexamic acid solution yielded even better results compared to vitamin C. Patients reported satisfaction on both sides, but they favored the effects of tranexamic acid more. Notably, any side effects were minimal and temporary.
This study suggests that while vitamin C can be helpful, using microneedling with tranexamic acid may deliver superior results for those struggling with post-acne redness.

We aimed to explore how lactoferrin affects acne by testing its anti-inflammatory and anti-lipid properties on human sebaceous gland cells and a mouse model. Using SZ95 cells, we treated them with varying concentrations of lactoferrin to observe its impact on cell viability, lipid content, and gene expression related to fat metabolism and inflammation.
Our tests showed that lactoferrin greatly reduced lipid accumulation in these cells while also lowering levels of inflammatory markers. In the acne mouse model, lactoferrin treatment also significantly reduced inflammation and lipid production. Additionally, it led to a decrease in the number of sebaceous gland cells and increased cell death, providing further evidence of its effectiveness.
We found that lactoferrin treatment resulted in lower protein levels associated with inflammation and lipid synthesis in the mice. Overall, our findings indicate that lactoferrin could play a beneficial role in managing acne by targeting both sebogenesis and inflammation.

We analyzed how oral isotretinoin, a vitamin A derivative, impacts acne treatment and ocular health. This study included 489 participants from the Jazan region, where we used an online questionnaire to gather data on symptoms experienced during isotretinoin therapy.
As we learned, many participants faced issues such as dry eyes and blurry vision, which are known side effects of the treatment. Over half of current users reported severe ocular symptoms, highlighting the importance of monitoring eye health for those undergoing this acne treatment.
Notably, individuals who used contact lenses or were on higher doses of isotretinoin experienced worse symptoms. These findings remind us of the necessity to assess individual risk factors before starting treatment. Overall, while vitamin A in isotretinoin effectively addresses acne, it also brings potential ocular concerns that should not be overlooked.

We aimed to understand how glutathione, an antioxidant protein, plays a role in treating acne vulgaris while developing innovative polymeric biomaterials. Our approach involved creating hydrogels using polyethylene glycol 6000, sodium alginate, and glutathione, which were crosslinked through a UV process.
To boost the hydrogels’ effectiveness, we incorporated zinc oxide microparticles. These were produced using a wet precipitation method and were carefully characterized through various techniques, including FTIR and SEM. We also tested how these biomaterials interact with physiological fluids to evaluate their bioactivity.
While our findings indicate that these biomaterials could serve as effective carriers for active substances in acne treatment, the specific impact of glutathione on acne itself wasn't isolated in our study. As a result, we cannot definitively claim that glutathione alone provides significant benefits for managing acne.
Overall, our research highlights a promising avenue for skin health improvement, but more focused investigations on glutathione's individual effects are needed to fully understand its potential in acne treatments.

We set out to investigate the effectiveness of topical vitamin D3 in treating acne vulgaris, particularly focusing on its anti-inflammatory effects. To do this, we conducted a well-structured double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial over eight weeks. Participants were divided into two groups—one receiving topical vitamin D3 and the other a placebo—both alongside a common acne treatment known as adapalene.
Throughout the study, we closely monitored the levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), a pro-inflammatory cytokine often elevated in acne lesions. By using advanced assays, we were able to quantify the decrease in IL-1β alongside observing the reduction in inflammatory lesions over time. What we discovered was promising; the topical application of vitamin D3 not only helped lower IL-1β levels in acne lesions but also contributed to a noticeable decrease in acne severity.
These results suggest that vitamin D3 might play a valuable role in managing acne through its ability to modulate inflammation and improve skin conditions. Therefore, incorporating vitamin D3 into acne treatment regimens could be beneficial for those struggling with this common skin issue.

We explored the connection between docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), and the risk of developing acne. Using genetic data from over 478,000 participants, we used a method called Mendelian randomization to determine if higher levels of DHA could truly lead to lower acne risk.
Our findings were quite enlightening. We discovered that higher DHA levels were significantly associated with a decreased risk of acne. Specifically, when looking at the percentage of total fatty acids that were DHA, we saw even stronger protective effects against acne flare-ups. In contrast, we found that higher levels of linoleic acid (LA) and a higher omega-6 to omega-3 ratio were linked to an increased risk of acne.
Notably, the results hinted at a connection to a genetic variant related to the fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) gene, emphasizing that genetics plays a role in how these fatty acids affect skin health. Overall, our study supports the idea that boosting DHA intake could be beneficial for acne prevention, while cautioning against high intakes of LA.

We undertook a study to see if a dietary supplement containing gamma linolenic acid, vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotene, coenzyme Q10, and Vitis Vitifera could help reduce common side effects linked to oral isotretinoin treatment for acne. This treatment is well-known for causing dry skin, redness, and peeling—issues that can make patients less willing to stick with their medication.
To explore this, we worked with 48 patients suffering from nodular acne, splitting them into two groups. One group received isotretinoin alongside the dietary supplement, while the other group only took isotretinoin for a duration of six months. We carefully measured various factors, including acne severity, hydration levels, and skin conditions such as erythema and dryness. We also inquired about how often patients adhered to their prescribed treatment.
Our findings revealed that those who used the dietary supplement experienced fewer side effects compared to those who just took isotretinoin. Specifically, they reported less erythema and dryness, as well as feeling more hydrated overall. Additionally, we noted an increase in treatment adherence in the group that took the supplement. Thanks to its antioxidant and moisturizing properties, this dietary supplement could indeed be a helpful addition for anyone undergoing isotretinoin therapy, making the journey a bit easier for patients.

Vitamin D reduces acne inflammation
We conducted a double-blind, randomized controlled trial to explore how topical vitamin D affects acne vulgaris (AV). Our study involved 64 participants, who were split into two groups—one receiving a vitamin D treatment and the other a placebo. After 8 weeks, we observed significant changes in the inflammatory markers, specifically a reduction in interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) levels, which plays a role in acne inflammation.
Participants in the vitamin D group showed a noticeable reduction in the number of inflammatory acne lesions compared to those using the placebo. This indicates that topical vitamin D can effectively lower inflammation associated with acne lesions.
It's essential to note that all participants also received topical adapalene, an established acne treatment. This could make it challenging to determine the exact effect of vitamin D alone. Nonetheless, the findings suggest that vitamin D has potential benefits in managing acne when included as part of a treatment regimen.

Cod liver oil's limited acne benefit
We investigated the impact of cod liver oil on acne treatment in a study involving 60 patients undergoing isotretinoin therapy. Participants were divided into two groups; one received isotretinoin alongside 800 IU of vitamin E daily, while the other took 800 IU of cod liver oil capsules. Our goal was to see if adding cod liver oil would improve the treatment outcomes and reduce side effects associated with isotretinoin.
Throughout the study, we carefully monitored patients at the first, fourth, and sixth weeks for any complications. Cheilitis, or lip inflammation, was the most common side effect, impacting 69% of the participants. Both groups also experienced cases of epistaxis, or nosebleeds, at around 22%. Other side effects included xerosis (dry skin), pruritus (itching), and some gastrointestinal discomfort.
Although we saw a decrease in the frequency and severity of side effects over the treatment duration, our findings did not show significant benefits from the cod liver oil compared to the vitamin E group. This suggests that while cod liver oil was safe for patients on isotretinoin, it did not enhance acne treatment outcomes significantly. Overall, isotretinoin remains a robust option for treating severe and treatment-resistant acne, with or without the addition of cod liver oil.

We explored the effects of pyridoxine, a form of vitamin B6, on skin health, focusing particularly on its potential benefits for those struggling with acne. Our research indicates that pyridoxine plays a significant role in maintaining the function of the epidermis, the outermost layer of our skin.
Through our examination of normal human epidermal keratinocytes, we observed that pyridoxine enhances the expression of profilaggrin mRNA, a precursor to filaggrin—a key protein involved in skin hydration and barrier function. The results show that treatment with pyridoxine leads to an increased production of filaggrin protein, and this effect is concentration-dependent.
While the study did not isolate findings specifically focused on treating acne alone, the increase in filaggrin production suggests that vitamin B6 might contribute positively to skin conditions related to dryness and irritation, which often accompany acne-prone skin. Our findings suggest that pyridoxine could be a valuable daily care ingredient for those with atopic dermatitis or skin issues associated with low filaggrin levels.

We examined the relationship between serum vitamin levels and the severity of acne, particularly focusing on how folate might impact both acne and depression in patients. The study involved 40 patients with moderate and severe acne alongside 40 healthy volunteers, allowing us to compare outcomes effectively.
Our findings revealed that a significant majority—70% of those with acne—experienced depression, in stark contrast to the control group, which showed no cases. Notably, the patients with acne had lower levels of both vitamin B12 and folate compared to the healthy individuals. These deficiencies were linked to more severe acne, suggesting a connection worth considering in treatment approaches.
Although the study does not provide direct evidence of folate as a treatment for acne, it indicates that monitoring vitamin B12 and folate levels in acne patients could be important, especially for evaluating their risk for depression. Therefore, while we cannot definitively claim that folate treatment benefits acne directly, supplementation might still be beneficial for overall mental health in these patients.

In short, while the lower vitamin E levels in acne patients are noteworthy, the study leaves us without conclusive evidence of vitamin E’s direct impact on treating acne. We highlight the importance of evaluating vitamin E status as part of managing skin health across various conditions, including acne.

This product is excellent for maintaining beautiful, healthy skin, particularly in adolescents. We have halved the recommended dosage. My 15-year-old daughter has been taking it for several months, and the results are astounding; her acne and blackheads have decreased significantly.
Calcium
8
We examined how calcium treatment influences sebum production, particularly in relation to acne. Sebocytes, the cells in our skin that produce oil, were treated with calcium, and we confirmed increased lipid production using well-established techniques. This response is important because excessive sebum is a key factor in acne development.
Our findings showed that calcium not only increased the overall sebum output but also stepped up the levels of several key regulators involved in the lipogenesis process. Notably, we observed that calcium treatment boosted the expression of proteins like SREBP1, which plays a crucial role in managing lipid levels in skin cells.
We also discovered that the transcription factor KLF4 was elevated with calcium treatment. This raised a fascinating question: could KLF4 be enhancing lipid production? To test this, we overexpressed KLF4 in sebocytes, and indeed found that it further stimulated the expression of lipid-producing proteins and increased overall lipid production.
In conclusion, our study sheds light on the significant role of calcium in sebum production and highlights KLF4 as a promising new regulator in this process. These insights may open doors for developing more effective acne treatments by targeting sebum production pathways.

Selenium
4
We examined how selenium levels relate to acne and other skin diseases through a comprehensive review of 27 studies involving over 8,400 participants.
Our findings revealed that patients with acne and other conditions like psoriasis showed notably lower levels of selenium compared to healthy individuals.
However, while high selenium levels appeared protective for some skin diseases, there was no significant difference noted in selenium levels for acne patients versus controls.
Ultimately, this suggests that selenium’s role in acne may not be as impactful as previously thought.

I have been taking this supplement regularly for six months for my acne folliculitis. After visiting a dermatologist and trying various treatments without success, I started taking selenium. By the second week, my folliculitis improved significantly, and now, after two to three months, I no longer suffer from acne. I encourage others facing similar issues to give it a fair chance for at least two months.
Evening Primrose Oil

Evening primrose oil shows mild benefits
We investigated the role of evening primrose oil in improving skin conditions for acne patients undergoing isotretinoin therapy. In a controlled study, participants were monitored over nine months to assess changes in skin hydration, oiliness, and body weight.
While evening primrose oil helped boost skin hydration, it didn't significantly outperform isotretinoin alone in other areas like oiliness or weight loss. This suggests that evening primrose oil may provide some benefits, but it doesn't drastically change the overall treatment outcome for acne patients on isotretinoin.

I adore this oil! With my oily, acne-prone skin, I’ve tried numerous brands that only aggravated my acne. This oil nourishes my skin and balances its natural oil production. Though the scent is slightly oily, it’s not too offensive. Being thick, I only require two drops each night. I wouldn’t recommend using it in direct sunlight during the day since it can be photosensitive. Excellent quality oil.

GREAT FOR TEENAGE ACNE! This form of alpha-lipoic acid is among the most effective antioxidants. The convenient dosage of 600 mg means you only need to take it once. The small capsules are very easy to swallow. My teenager faced acne issues, and I had not even considered seeing a dermatologist. Given the current generation's health, something must be wrong with food assimilation. I read that alpha-lipoic acid can reduce glucose levels and protect liver cells. On the 3rd or 4th day, I noticed the bumps on the face began to decrease noticeably. After two weeks, my teenager’s skin resembled that of a baby!
