Everyone knows how useful green tea is. While many prefer it brewed, in capsule form the concentration is far greater. Since starting this supplement, my mood has improved remarkably, and I feel more energetic. After the course, my skin looks clearer, and there are noticeably fewer acne. The capsules help detoxify and cleanse the liver too. If my review has helped, I would appreciate a click on YES. It’s a small effort for you but means a lot to me! Thank you!

Vitamin C shows moderate efficacy
We explored the effectiveness of using vitamin C in treating persistent post-acne erythema, which often leaves visible redness after acne has cleared. In this study, participants received microneedling combined with either a 10% vitamin C solution or a tranexamic acid solution. The goal was to see which treatment worked better for reducing redness and improving overall skin appearance.
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 understand how a novel formulation combining vitamin C and quercetin can help treat acne. Our study focused on creating small liposomal structures called aspasomes that enhance the delivery of quercetin, a potent antioxidant, onto the skin.
Throughout our research, we thoroughly characterized these aspasomes for their size, stability, and how well they could penetrate the skin. One exciting finding was that these specialized nanovesicles not only preserved the antioxidant benefits of quercetin, but also demonstrated a stronger antibacterial effect against acne-causing bacteria compared to quercetin alone.
In an exploratory clinical trial involving 20 participants with acne, we observed considerable improvements. The results revealed a 77.9% reduction in inflammatory lesions and significant decreases in both non-inflammatory lesions and total acne lesions. These findings suggest that our vitamin C-based formula holds promise in managing acne and could potentially be used for other skin conditions in the future.

We conducted a study to explore the effectiveness of two forms of vitamin C—ascorbyl palmitate (AP) and sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP)—in managing sebum production on the skin. Through a single-blinded, placebo-controlled trial involving 11 healthy female volunteers, we compared the effects of a multiple emulsion containing these compounds with a control that lacked them.
Over 90 days, participants applied the vitamin C formulation to one cheek and the control to the other. We measured sebum levels using a non-invasive device called a Sebumeter at different time intervals. Our results demonstrated that the combination of AP and SAP achieved notable antioxidant activity and effectively reduced facial oiliness compared to the control.
Ultimately, we found that incorporating vitamin C into skincare routines can be a promising solution for controlling excess facial sebum, which is often linked to oily skin and acne. However, while the study highlights the role of these antioxidants in sebum regulation, it does not provide a definitive conclusion on their isolated effects solely for acne treatment.

Less prone to breakouts
I began taking green tea extract to enhance my skin. I learned that the EGCG in green tea possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory traits, beneficial for battling ageing and acne. While I enjoy drinking green tea, I sought higher levels of EGCG to see visible results. So far, my skin appears less prone to breakouts, and I plan to keep taking these capsules.

We conducted a well-structured clinical trial to explore whether decaffeinated green tea extract (GTE) improves acne in women aged 25 to 45 experiencing moderate to severe outbreaks. Over four weeks, participants received either GTE or a placebo.
The results showed that those taking GTE experienced significant reductions in inflammatory lesions on areas like the nose and chin. However, overall lesion counts didn’t differ markedly from the placebo group. While GTE appeared promising for specific lesions, further studies are needed to fully understand its effectiveness for acne treatment.

We explored the potential of sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP), a stable form of vitamin C, in preventing and treating acne vulgaris. The study included a time-kill analysis showing that a 1% SAP formulation reduced the harmful bacteria Propionibacterium acnes by a significant log reduction of 5 after 8 hours. This demonstrates the strong antimicrobial properties of SAP against acne-causing bacteria.
Additionally, we observed an in vivo study with 20 participants, where the SAP formulation effectively prevented up to 40% of UVA-induced sebum oxidation, suggesting it can help reduce inflammation associated with acne. In another open-label study involving 60 volunteers over 12 weeks, a 5% SAP lotion was rated as excellent or good in effectiveness by 76.9% of the participants, outperforming a commonly prescribed acne treatment.
Overall, our findings indicate that sodium ascorbyl phosphate could serve as an effective, non-antibiotic option for both the prevention and treatment of acne, making it an attractive addition to cosmetic products due to its lack of side effects.

Vitamin C's acne treatment potential
We explored the effectiveness of vitamin C in treating acne, focusing on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is a natural component of our skin and plays a vital role in protecting it from oxidative stress.
Our findings highlight that vitamin C can be beneficial for acne control, although to truly maximize its effects, proper formulations are essential. The study indicates that when used in combination with other vitamins such as E and B3, vitamin C may have enhanced efficacy.
However, it's important to note that while vitamin C shows promise, it should be viewed as part of a broader skincare routine rather than a standalone solution for acne treatment.
