Studies from Dermatology Clinic Further Understanding of Acne Vulgaris (Reflectance confocal microscopy and clinical evaluation of a product containing Silybum marianum fruit extract in monotherapy for acne vulgaris treatment: A prospective...).

A new study from the Dermatology Clinic explores the effectiveness of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) in evaluating the reduction of acne lesions in patients treated with a product containing Silybum marianum fruit extract (SMFE). The study found that the investigational product, used in monotherapy over 60 days, resulted in a significant reduction in acne lesions and improvement in quality of life for patients. The use of RCM proved to be effective in assessing the therapeutic response in patients with moderate to severe acne. The study concludes that the monotherapy scheme with the investigational product containing SMFE is safe and effective for acne treatment. [Extracted from the article]
