We explored the effects of G2 lysine dendrimer on acne and how it can help restore balance to our skin microbiome. Acne is a persistent skin condition that brings about discomfort and concerns for many. Traditional treatments can often lose their effectiveness over time or lead to unwanted side effects. So, our goal was to see if this new approach could offer a gentler solution.
Our focus was on how G2 dendrimer specifically targets the troublesome bacteria associated with acne while preserving the healthy bacteria we rely on for healthy skin. Through our studies, we found that G2 dendrimer notably reduced inflammatory markers linked to acne, such as IL-8. What’s more, it didn’t harm the beneficial bacteria on the skin, which is essential for maintaining overall skin health.
We also conducted comparisons with standard over-the-counter treatments. The G2 dendrimer showed promising results in both limiting acne outbreaks and supporting the survival of good bacteria. Through metagenomic analysis, we confirmed that using G2 in a cosmetic product can effectively help rebalance the acne-prone microbiota without disrupting the friendly bacteria.
Overall, these findings highlight the potential of G2 lysine dendrimer as a non-aggressive option for acne prevention while respecting our skin's natural microbiome.

Our exploration centered on how a specific compound derived from l-lysine, known as G2 dendrimer, influences Cutibacterium acnes, the bacteria linked to acne vulgaris. We found that this compound can alter the behavior of acneic strains of C. acnes by changing their membrane fluidity and reducing biofilm formation. Interestingly, it does not have the same effects on non-acneic strains, indicating a targeted action.
In our investigations using skin samples, we observed that G2 dendrimer significantly lowers indicators of inflammation, such as IL1α and TLR-2, and promotes better skin cell turnover after colonization by acneic strains. To solidify our findings, we performed a 28-day treatment with a G2 cream and measured changes in bacteria diversity through metagenomic analysis.
The results showed not only an increase in the diversity of C. acnes strains but also a shift regarding the balance between different phylotypes associated with acne. Overall, our findings highlight the potential for using gentle, soft compounds like the G2 dendrimer as a new strategy to manage and possibly prevent acne outbreaks by modifying the bacterial population on the skin.

This product helped clear my skin completely! After two years on birth control, I stopped it for medical reasons and developed full-blown acne, which was difficult to manage. I struggled for eight months trying different remedies. Once I started this supplement, my skin improved significantly within 2-3 weeks. I also made dietary changes and managed stress, but this product worked wonders. Now, my face is clear and the scars, even the dark purple ones, are almost gone!
