Oregano oil shows promise for acne
L. Essential Oil as a Potential Anti-Acne Topical Nanoemulsion-In Vitro and In Vivo Study.
Directly addresses acne treatment effectiveness
We assessed the potential of oregano oil as a treatment for acne, targeting the bacteria often responsible for this common skin condition. Our research involved investigating seven essential oils commonly used in Mediterranean folk medicine, with oregano oil standing out for its remarkable antibacterial properties.

We discovered that oregano oil exhibited strong antimicrobial effects, showing a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of just 0.34 mg/mL against acne-associated bacteria. Notably, it also demonstrated an impressive ability to disrupt biofilms, essential for bacterial survival.

To harness its efficacy, we formulated oregano oil into a nanoemulsion and tested it in a mouse model. The results were promising; this formulation not only promoted healing but also surpassed the conventional antibiotic treatment in combating acne.

Overall, our findings suggest that oregano oil could be a safe and effective natural alternative for treating acne, especially in the face of rising antibiotic resistance.

Oregano extract suppresses acne inflammation
Ethanolic Extract of Suppresses -Induced Inflammatory Responses in Human Monocyte and Mouse Ear Edema Models.
High relevance to acne treatment
We investigated the effects of an ethanolic extract from oregano on acne inflammation, particularly focusing on its ability to suppress inflammatory responses. The study revealed that oregano can be a valuable part of acne treatment due to its significant anti-inflammatory properties.

During our exploration, we found that four potent compounds within the oregano extract, including rosmarinic acid and quercetin, contribute to its strong antioxidant activity. When tested in mouse models, the extract notably reduced inflammation—evidenced by decreased ear thickness and weight.

Additionally, in a laboratory setting using human monocytes, the oregano extract lowered the production of important inflammatory markers like interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. This suggests that oregano works by interfering with the pathways that activate inflammation, particularly by inhibiting the inflammation-triggering proteins.

Importantly, we noted that the anti-inflammatory effects do not stem from oregano's antimicrobial properties but rather from its ability to combat oxidative stress and inflammation directly. This research positions oregano as a promising natural remedy for managing acne effectively.

Oregano oil enhances acne treatment
Preparation and optimization of aloe ferox gel loaded with Finasteride-Oregano oil nanocubosomes for treatment of alopecia.
Relevant use of oregano oil
We aimed to explore the effectiveness of oregano oil when combined with finasteride in managing alopecia, particularly focusing on its impact on acne. Our approach involved creating nano-cubosomes that incorporated both finasteride and oregano oil to improve how well the ingredients penetrate the skin. The research employed a thoughtful design to optimize the formulation, with ingredients including phytantriol and alkyl acrylate, which are essential for the production of the cubosomes.

Through our experiments, we discovered that the optimal formulation achieved a particle size of 135 nm with a robust entrapment efficiency of 70%. This means a significant amount of finasteride was successfully encapsulated within the cubosomes. Furthermore, the minimum inhibitory concentration against Propionibacterium acnes indicated that our formulation was effective in combating bacteria often connected to acne.

When we incorporated this optimized nano-cubosome formulation into an aloe ferox gel, we noticed enhanced drug release and skin permeation compared to traditional finasteride formulations. This suggests that the combination of aloe ferox and oregano oil resulted in a synergistic effect, improving both the absorption of finasteride and its efficacy against acne-related bacteria. Overall, our findings support the potential of using oregano oil in topical treatments for hair loss, as it helps boost the delivery of finasteride and provides additional benefits in managing acne.

Accurate skin treatment
Excellent. This product performed exactly as described. After numerous reviews, I decided to try it due to chronic sinusitis and allergies, alongside itchy skin and acne linked to antibiotics. Within days, my symptoms began to improve and my skin looked clearer. I recommend it for anyone struggling with fungal issues, including acne.

Effective antibiotic
I use oregano oil as a natural antibiotic against cystic acne, and it's highly effective when paired with Sovereign Silver. It benefits gut health and those suffering from SIBO, too. Gaia is reputable for high-grade supplements, and I recommend this product wholeheartedly.

Improved skin radiance
I followed MM's recommendation for the acne and oregano protocol. This supplement, also recommended by Anthony, is taken for two weeks, followed by a two-week break. The package provides enough for four such courses. I've noticed my skin becoming more radiant by the end of the second week, although I experienced a minor rash from the oregano initially. Overall, I believe it works well for my acne.

Probiotics and Oregano Combat Acne
Additive Effects of Natural Plant Extracts/Essential Oils and Probiotics as an Antipathogenic Topical Skin Patch Solution for Acne and Eczema.
Significant effectiveness of oregano noted
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.

Improved skin radiance
Good recommendation for the protocol against acne. The supplement's composition is commendable, and you can take it for two weeks with a subsequent two-week break. A single package suffices for four courses. Initially, there was a slight rash, but by the end of the second week, my skin appeared more radiant. There was a mild aftertaste from the oregano, yet I feel it works.
