We explored the effects of Silybum marianum fruit extract on acne treatment using a topical formulation over 48 weeks in a group of acne patients. The study identified microcomedones, which are early signs of future acne lesions, as a target for prevention.
Our findings revealed that using the extract significantly lowered the microcomedone index in patients, indicating a reduction in acne severity. The improvement in microcomedones closely tied to a decrease in clinical lesions suggests that Silybum marianum may be a promising option for maintaining clearer skin and preventing future breakouts.

Effectiveness of Silybum marianum on acne
We examined the effectiveness and tolerance of a dermocosmetic product containing Silybum marianum fruit extract in treating acne in adolescents and young adults. In an international study with over 4,200 participants aged 12 to 25, the product was used twice daily for 8 to 12 weeks. It was applied alone, after medical therapy, or alongside other treatments.
While the product showed promise in managing acne, its role appears more supportive than curative, helping to reduce reliance on traditional anti-acne medications.

This year-long study involved 54 teenagers and young adults with mild to moderate facial acne, exploring the effects of silybum marianum in real-life situations.
We found impressive results, with a 45.6% decrease in acne lesions after six months and 59.6% after twelve months. Overall, the treatment improved skin health significantly, even with minimal use of standard acne medications.
However, we should note that the influence of silybum marianum alone is hard to quantify due to the small percentage of other acne treatments utilized during the study.

Acne improvement
1 people found this helpful
Jelly detox for a sudden outbreak of acne. Personally, milk thistle with turmeric helped cleanse my bile, leading to a quick reduction in purulent inflammation on my face. This seemed necessary due to my liver being overwhelmed by poor nutrition and lifestyle choices. I didn’t notice any taste from the turmeric, and there were no issues like nausea. During the first week, I observed foamy urine after taking the capsules. I'm uncertain if this is a sign of detoxing.
