Abstract:

BACKGROUND

Currently, there is no gold standard of therapy for post-acne. Topical medications used as monotherapy or combination can significantly increase patients’ compliance and reduce the post-acne manifestations, as well as improve the quality of life. It warrants the need for further clinical studies in this area.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the efficacy of gel containing mucopolysaccharide polysulfate, pionin, onion extract, allantoin, and niacinamide as active components in post-acne treatment.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The study included 25 patients (19 females and 6 males) who applied the gel topically to the post-acne foci two times a day for three months in a combination of gentle skin cleansing, moisturizing and photoprotection agents. Therapy efficacy was assessed using the IGA, ASAS, and DLQI scales. Statistical analysis of the study results was performed using Statistica 13.5 software.

RESULTS

After the treatment, an improvement of the post-acne signs and symptoms was observed according to all the scales used.

CONCLUSION

Use of gel containing mucopolysaccharide polysulfate, pionin, onion extract, allantoin, and niacinamide for post-acne treatment results in a significant reduction of dyschromia signs and skin cicatricial deformity.
