40% pyruvate peeling improves acne
The results of a study examining the efficacy and tolerability of 40% pyruvate for acne vulgaris and acne scars and pigmentation in Asians were posted online on April 7 in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. Was done.
Pyruvic acid at a concentration of 40% to 70% is used as a peeling agent for various dermatological indications including acne. However, there is a lack of research on the effectiveness of acne in Asians.
This study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of 40% pyruvate in post-acne hyperpigmentation and scarring in Asians, especially Indians. Objective assessment of acne lesions, scarring and hyperpigmentation at 2-week intervals of 0-12 weeks with chemical peels in 30 patients with active acne and post-acne scarring and hyperpigmentation Was performed at 0, 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks.
As a result, the number of acne was significantly reduced at 12 weeks compared to 0 week. Similarly, there was a decrease in the number of papules. The acne score improved at 12 weeks and hyperpigmentation improved at 24 weeks.
