research In Patients With Acne Vulgaris, How Do Standard Acne Treatments Combined With Adjunct Microbiome-Targeted Therapies Compare to Standard Acne Treatments Alone in Affecting Clinical Outcomes?
The study investigates the impact of combining standard acne treatments with microbiome-targeted therapies on clinical outcomes in patients with acne vulgaris. A review of 5 studies revealed that oral probiotics as adjuncts significantly improved acne severity and lesion reduction compared to standard treatments alone. Topical probiotic formulations were as effective as 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide in reducing inflammatory lesions and were associated with fewer side effects. Additionally, oral probiotics reduced gastrointestinal adverse events linked to Doxycycline. Overall, microbiome-targeted therapies, particularly oral probiotics, enhance both the efficacy and safety of standard acne treatments.

community My personal experience/observations fighting AGA seriously for 5 years
Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.
community There must be many of you by now who have stuck with a microneedling program, how'd you make out?
Microneedling with finasteride, minoxidil, DMSO, and black seed oil shows mixed hair regrowth results. There are concerns about DMSO's safety and effectiveness.
community My progress with various products and without oral fin or oral dut on 17 months
