Stabilization of Acne Vulgaris-Associated Microbial Dysbiosis with 2% Supramolecular Salicylic Acid

Abstract: Facial microbiota dysbiosis is an important factor in causing acne vulgaris. The present study aimed to analyze the effect of 2% Supramolecular Salicylic Acid (SSA) on acne-associated facial bacteria. In the current study, 30 acne vulgaris patients (treated with 2% SSA for eight weeks) and ten volunteers with no facial acne were selected. Samples from acne patients (before and after treatment) and volunteers (not treated) were analyzed via high throughput sequencing, Deblur algorithm, and R microbiome package.… Show more

“…This results in water-soluble SSA which has the properties of slow release upon application, efficiency in low-pH, and low skin irritation. 6,7 Hazrat Bilal et al 13 found that the total lesion count and global acne grading system (GAGS) score reduced significantly (p < 0.001) compared to the control group, after treatment with 2% SSA hydrogel. They also found that α diversity index was increased and β diversity was stabilized significantly (p < 0.001) compared to the control group, due to the treatment with 2% SSA hydrogel.…”

“…Numerous over-the-counter drugs are available for acne treatments, which majorly contain salicylic acid [ 54 ]. Supramolecular Salicylic Acid treatment significantly improved the acne patients and modulates the microbial diversity of patients toward like individuals with no facial acne [ 55 ]. Niacinamide: Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 called nicotinamide (composed of niacin/nicotinic acid).…”
