Active clinical trials for "Acne Vulgaris"

There are two purposes of this study: First, the investigators want to see what the differences are in de novo sebaceous lipid production of people with and without acne. Secondly, the investigators want to know what happens to sebaceous gland de novo lipid production before and after treatment with topical tretinoin and oral isotretinoin.

This will be an investigation to determine the quality of the serological immune responses against Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) in acne patients compared to healthy individuals. In particular, the investigators will measure serum antibody titers against P. acnes surface antigens, and the efficiency of antibody-mediated phagocytic killing of P. acnes.

The aim of this study is to evaluate, at different times, the RV3278A - ET0943 cosmetic product efficacy after 8 weeks of application on the face (twice-daily application). At T1 (Baseline), T2 (4 weeks) and T3 (8 weeks), the following assessments are performed: The reduction of the pilosebaceous follicular ostium size in vivo (pores) on the forehead The clinical evaluation (count of non inflammatory and inflammatory acne lesions, IGA score) of the face The reduction in visible follicles The standardized numerical photographs of face and ¾ right and left profile in normal, parallel polarized, cross polarized and UV light The analysis of the skin lipids of the forehead The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the sebum and comedones constituents (nose wings) This is a comparative, open-labelled study, on subjects with oily and acne prone skins on the face. Each group includes 18 subjects.

Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease, mainly of the face, but also of the trunk. Acne may be caused by internal and external factors. Only a very small amount of data exists concerning truncal acne. The condition affects about 9% of the population worldwide, with 50% of subjects with facial acne also presenting with truncal acne. Until recently, clinicians frequently followed the same therapeutic approach as for facial acne, with treatment adherence remaining an issue. This study assessed assessed the benefit of a cleansing gel containing salicylic acid 2%, zinc gluconate 0.2% and Lipo hydroxy acids (LHA) 0.05%, used daily for 84 days in mild to moderate truncal acne.

This study evaluates the safety, effectiveness, and maintenance of effect of a novel topical silver particle solution (Sienna 755.1100, 810.1100, or 1064.1100) used in conjunction with a laser for the treatment of Acne Vulgaris.

The aim of this study is to evaluate a complete acne regimen consisting of a medication (Benzaknen® 5% Gel), and 2 cosmetic products Dermotivin® Soft Liquid soap and Cetaphil® Dermacontrol Moisturizer SPF30 in patients with acne.

Acne can be treated with a mid-infrared laser. We demonstrated safety and efficacy using lower energy settings in order to make the treatments less painful

Skin cleanser for daily used is essential and one of the most common questions asked by acne patients. There are studies reported beneficial effects of cleansers in acne treatment. Extracts of plants as active ingredients in skin cleansers are increasingly popular worldwide. Roselle is a common tropical shrub. Usually, the calyces of the plant have been used to make beverages but it also used in Thai traditional medicine for several purposes including as antiseptic and astringent. The extract of roselle showed antioxidant and keratolytic effects from previous studies which fit to the pathogenesis of acne. The aims of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of skin cleanser contained roselle extract in acne.

Antioxidants have been studied for their abilities to combat reactive oxygen species in a multitude of conditions. This study aims to assess whether the botanical dietary supplement 'Halo Beauty Kiwi Booster' (HBKB), taken orally daily for 8 weeks, can assist with Acne vulgaris as well as skin hydration and quality of life for those with acne.

Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common inflammatory condition involving pilosebaceous unit. The pathogenesis of acne is multifactorial and skin microbiome is considered to be one of the key factors that aggravate inflammation. Malassezia spp is normal flora on the skin and several studies have reported its corelation with inflammatory AV lesion. Malassezia have higher lipase activity compared to Propionibacterium acnes which triggers an increase in free fatty acid and glycerol, the chemotactic factors towards neutrophils and inducing inflammation in AV. Malassezia folliculitis (MF) is sometimes confused with and may present together with AV. Pruritus usually presents in MF but some studies also reported itching as common symptom in AV. The objectives of this study were to identify the presence and the distribution of Malassezia spp. in facial AV lesions, to compare the distribution of Malassezia spp. between inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions and to identify the association between Malassezia spp in acne lesions and pruritus symptom.
