Systematic ReviewA review that systematically collects, evaluates, and integrates relevant research to answer a specific research question.

Overview

A review of recent research on acne treatments found mixed results. While diet's role in acne remains unclear, benzoyl peroxide appears to be effective, with no evidence that stronger concentrations are better than weaker ones. Topical retinoids don't seem to worsen acne initially, although some skin irritation is common. There may be a link between oral isotretinoin and mental health issues, but more research is needed. Combined oral contraceptives are effective in reducing acne, but there's limited evidence to support those containing cyproterone acetate. Spironolactone has not shown benefit for acne. Blue or blue/red light treatments may be better than placebo for acne, but there's limited evidence comparing them to other treatments. Photodynamic therapy showed benefits over placebo but caused significant side effects and was not more effective than topical adapalene.

A Clearer Picture: New Insights into Acne Treatment

Acne, a common skin condition, can affect individuals of all ages. This research synthesizes findings from systematic reviews published in 2009-2010, highlighting clinically important developments in acne treatment. The review explores the potential role of dietary factors, the efficacy of benzoyl peroxide, the use of topical retinoids, the psychiatric side effects of oral isotretinoin, the benefits of combined oral contraceptives (COCs), the effectiveness of spironolactone, and the impact of laser and light therapies. The review suggests that while dietary factors may play a role in acne, more research is needed. It also highlights the potential benefits of benzoyl peroxide, topical retinoids, and COCs in treating acne, while cautioning about the possible psychiatric side effects of oral isotretinoin and the limited evidence supporting the use of spironolactone. The review also examines the efficacy of laser and light therapies, suggesting that blue or blue/red light treatment may be superior to placebo light.
