“…Acne vulgaris has been described as a chronic and widespread inflammatory skin disease that is regarded as the most common skin condition in adolescence and early adulthood. It affects 80-100% of people aged from 11 to 30 years, 85% of whom have a mild course, while 15% of sufferers develop acne of a particularly severe severity [1][2][3]. Moreover, in the general population, 9% of the worldwide population struggles with acne [4].…”

“…The increased keratinisation of the hair and sebaceous unit mouths results in sebum retention and the formation of a hyperkeratotic plug in the hair follicle funnel. Sebaceous sebum creates a favourable environment for the development of Cutibacterium acnes (formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes), implying inflammation and the transformation of microcalcifications into acne lesions [1,[9][10][11][12][13]. In summary, the pathogenesis of acne is ascribed to four crucial determinants: (1) excessive sebum secretion; (2) Cutibacterium acnes hyperproliferation; (3) the excessive keratinisation of hair and sebaceous follicles; and (4) inflammatory mechanisms [14].…”

Acne vulgaris is a widespread a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that affects millions of people around the world, which has a significant influence on patients’ standard of living. The progression of this dermatosis results in the appearance of inflammatory and non-inflammatory changes, and, in severe cases, disfiguring scars and hyperpigmentation. The aetiopathogenesis of acne is complex. It involves a complex interaction of many different factors, both endo- and exogenous in their effect on the hair and sebaceous unit. Genetic predisposition, hormones, the skin and gut microbiome, psychological stress, air pollutants, aggressive facial products, and certain medications are cited as factors influencing acne formation. The link between nutrition and acne is extensively debated for many years and is still relatively controversial. Diet is commonly recognised to have a direct relationship with certain biochemical markers and the transcription of genes related to sebaceous gland function, and the proliferation of bacteria and inflammation that encourage the progression of the disease. In this review, the authors take a closer look at the existing scientific reports on the involvement of nutrition in the development of acne vulgaris.
