This study found that 10% carbamide peroxide significantly reduced acne lesions compared to a vehicle solution, suggesting it as an effective and safe alternative to benzoyl peroxide for treating mild to moderate acne.

In this study using a rat model, researchers observed that applying topical testosterone led to changes in the skin resembling early acne lesions, indicating a dermatologic risk potentially associated with over-the-counter testosterone products.

This review discusses the role of teledermatology during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the practical challenges and opportunities in diagnosing skin diseases in low-income countries, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various sampling methods for studying Propionibacterium acnes in skin follicles and reports no new experimental results; the authors evaluate these methods' strengths and limitations.

This study observed that isotretinoin was effective in treating acneiform eruptions in HIV-positive women, although side effects like skin xerosis and hair loss were reported.

This study reported that nonablative monopolar radiofrequency therapy provided sustained reductions in both inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesion counts and sebum production in participants with moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris, with high patient satisfaction and no significant adverse effects observed up to 12 months posttreatment.

In this study, acne severity in females was strongly associated with inflammatory lesion count and moderately associated with androgens, especially DELTA 4 and DHEAS promoting acne and SHBG reducing it.

In this randomized trial, the researchers observed that both montelukast and finasteride effectively reduced acne severity and lesion count in women with moderate acne, but finasteride showed greater efficacy. Both medications had transient, non-serious side effects, indicating satisfactory tolerability and safety.

This review examined evidence on non-systemic treatments for acne vulgaris and related skin complications, finding very low-certainty evidence that benzoyl peroxide may reduce lesion counts but may also increase the risk of minor adverse events, highlighting the need for higher-quality research for effective therapies.

In this study, HA-P5, a nanoparticle derived from peptide and polysaccharide conjugation, effectively reduced acne lesions and sebum production by inhibiting specific receptors in cells, without triggering unfavorable reactions compared to a commercial inhibitor, highlighting HA-P5's potential as a novel acne treatment.

This source discusses using stratum corneum ablation as a promising method to enhance transdermal drug delivery by temporarily removing the skin's outermost barrier to improve medication absorption.

This study found that women with late onset acne have fewer comedones and acne lesions compared to those with early onset, despite no differences in P. acnes density or sebum secretion.

In this study, 755-nm alexandrite laser treatment significantly reduced acne keloidalis nuchae lesions in male patients, improving quality of life and showing low recurrence rates, with temporary hair loss as a reversible complication.

In this study, researchers found that specific treatment parameters disrupted follicles and sebaceous glands, damaging the bacteria Cutibacterium acnes and promoting follicular remodeling, which may improve both inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesions.

In this study, researchers observed that a hidden scalp condition could contribute to acne keloidalis nuchae and potentially other primary cicatricial alopecias, impacting their diagnosis and treatment.

In this integrative literature review, the researchers reported that finasteride appears highly effective for treating androgenetic alopecia and acne, showing notable benefits after brief treatment durations, though careful dose management is required due to potential sexual side effects.

The serum reduces acne and improves skin clarity.

This review discusses the clinical features and treatment options for adult acne, highlighting the need for tailored management in specific populations, but reports no new findings.

In this study, tazarotene 0.1% gel showed greater efficacy than tretinoin 0.025% gel in reducing acne lesions and demonstrated similar efficacy to adapalene 0.1% gel when used less frequently.

This review discusses the modest efficacy of home-use laser and light devices for conditions like hair removal and acne, noting limited evidence and a lack of robust trials.

This review discusses the applications and advantages of LED-based photobiomodulation therapy for dermatological and cosmetic purposes but highlights existing challenges and health concerns while exploring future perspectives.

This article reviews how to take a thorough dermatological history, conduct examinations, and discusses diagnostic tools; it reports no new clinical findings.

Spironolactone in anti-acne cream can cause allergic skin reactions in some people.

This review found that combined oral contraceptives and spironolactone are effective treatments for adult acne in women, but noted that oral contraceptives increase the risk of venous thromboembolism and require individual risk assessment before use.

This study found that the pH-sensitive hydrogel HECHA13, containing isoliquiritigenin, effectively inhibited the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and showed promise for transdermal delivery in acne treatment.

Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.

This article discusses isotretinoin for severe acne vulgaris, noting its effectiveness but also highlighting significant side effects on skin, mucous membranes, and hair; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that oral isotretinoin achieved good to excellent clinical results in treating severe inflammatory acne, severe rosacea, and gram-negative folliculitis.

This study reports that an intervention decreased glucose and insulin levels, indicating improved insulin resistance, which is linked to a skin condition called acne vulgaris and other disorders associated with insulin resistance.

The adapalene-benzoyl peroxide gel works better and faster for acne treatment than using either ingredient alone, with manageable side effects.
