A Review on Nutricosmetics for Skin Care

The review discusses acne as a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting both adolescents and adults, with increasing cases of adult-onset acne due to various internal and external factors. The pathogenesis involves excess sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, bacterial colonization, and inflammatory responses. Environmental and lifestyle factors such as allergens, stress, and poor hygiene exacerbate acne. Conventional treatments like benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics often cause side effects, prompting interest in alternative therapies such as herbal formulations and lifestyle changes. The review emphasizes the need for effective, well-tolerated treatments that address acne's root causes without further skin damage.
