Promising spirulina compound for acne
Transformation Chlorophyll a of to Chlorin e6 Derivatives and Several Applications.
Relevant findings for acne treatment
We explored the potential of a spirulina-derived compound, chlorin e6 trimethylester, to treat cancer cells and acne. After synthesizing the compound, we tested its effectiveness against Hela cancer cells and the acne bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes. Our results showed that higher concentrations of the compound significantly reduced cell survival and colony formation in both cancer and acne bacteria. This suggests that chlorin e6 could serve as a promising treatment option for both conditions through photodynamic therapy.

Probiotic and spirulina benefit acne
A Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of an Oral Probiotic in Acne Vulgaris.
Effectiveness supports probiotic use
We explored the impact of a probiotic combined with spirulina on acne in a 12-week clinical trial. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved patients aged 12 to 30 with acne vulgaris.
Those taking the probiotic experienced notable improvements, with 50% reporting reduced symptoms compared to 29.41% in the placebo group. Significant decreases in non-inflammatory acne lesions were observed in the probiotic group, suggesting effective treatment.
Overall, the probiotic combination appeared well-tolerated and beneficial in managing acne vulgaris.

I'm very pleased with this product. Thanks to it, my face is much clearer and free of acne. If I take 5 tablets in the morning, I feel sated until lunch!

Caused chin acne
The initial spirulina I purchased from IHERB resulted in acne appearing on my chin. I took three pieces in the morning before meals along with other products. No other symptoms occurred, but once the supplement ran out, the acne did too. I’ve switched to Hawaiian spirulina at the same dosage but haven’t seen any effective results. I believe it simply wasn't suitable for me.

Acne outbreak experienced
For some reason, spirulina did not suit me as my entire face broke out in acne. 🤷
