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.
