“…Various treatments, e.g., topical therapies, oral antibiotic treatment, isotretinoin and hormonal therapies can cause side effects. Chemical peeling is one of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic treatments [ 18 , 19 ]. The use of chemical peels in combination with microdermabrasion for the reduction of acne lesion can be a response to the search for effective and safe methods of acne treatment [ 20 ].…”

The synergy of cosmetic acids, with their keratolytic and antibacterial properties, with the mechanical exfoliation of the epidermis brings faster and better treatment results. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of using only pyruvic acid and the synergy of microdermabrasion and chemical exfoliation. In total, 14 women diagnosed with acne took part in the study. Two areas were marked on the participants’ faces: the right side (microdermabrasion treatment and a preparation containing pyruvic acid 40%) and the left side (preparation containing pyruvic acid 40%) without mechanical exfoliation. A series of four treatments was performed at 2-week intervals. Skin parameters such as stratum corneum hydration and sebum secretion were measured. Before the treatments, all patients had moderate acne according to GAGS (Min: 19, Max: 22, Md: 20), and after the treatments, it decreased to mild acne according to GAGS (Min: 13, Max: 17, Md: 140). On the right side of the face, there was a statistically significant reduction in sebum secretion in all the examined areas of the face and increase in the hydration of the stratum corneum. On the left side of the face, the differences were also observed in the decrease of sebum value and increase of hydration level; however, they were smaller than on the right side. The use of microdermabrasion in combination with pyruvic acid led to better results in the case of increased hydration and reduction of sebum secretion than using only pyruvic acid treatment.

Acne skin shows the features not only of seborrheic skin but also of combination skin. Often the T zone (forehead, nose, and chin) is affected by seborrhoea, and the cheeks and side parts of the face show significant dryness due to the smaller number of sebaceous glands. Care, in addition to treatment, plays a very important role in maintaining the good condition of acne-prone skin. Often, in the initial stages or mild forms of the disease, it is enough for the symptoms to subside. Care and treatment should be aimed at working against the causes of acne. Dermocosmetics should contain anti-seborrheic agents, exfoliating agents (alpha-hydroxy acids), moisturizing agents (urea and hyaluronic acid), soothing inflammation (bisabolol), and mattifying agents (rice and corn starch). [1][2][3] The basics of an acne-prone skin care regimen should include procedures such as facial cleansing with soap-free products, use of unscented moisturizers to minimize irritation. It is also important to avoid triggers such as oily foundation to makeup, stress, sweets, and fatty foods. [4][5][6][7] Importantly, well-chosen care can minimize the side effects of the treatment.Patient compliance with care recommendations is closely related to the role of cosmetics in delaying or preventing the side effects of anti-acne medications, as treatment is effective if the skin is not irritated.

Acne vulgaris is a chronic, inflammatory disease accompanied by lesions affecting the structure of the skin. Chemical peels are one of the methods of reducing acne vulgaris. There is still a lack of quantitative methods of assessing impact of cosmetic procedure on the skin. Skin condition depends on skin texture characterization; therefore, the analysis that provides data about the textures can be helpful in assessing the effectiveness of cosmetic treatments. Patients and Methods:The study involved 24 volunteers with acne lesions. Each participant underwent 4 treatments using chemical peels at two-week intervals. Before, during and after procedure clinical photography were made. To assess effectiveness of chemical peeling in acne lesion reduction, we were used gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) analysis. Qualitative assessment of acne severity was made by 12 experts in dermatology. Results: After a series of treatments, the GLCM contrast value decreased in each area of the face, and the GLCM homogeneity value increased, which means that the number of acne lesions was reduced. Expert assessment according to the IGA scale confirms the effectiveness of therapy with both salicylic and glycolic acid and pyruvic acid. Conclusion:The results of this study prove that GLCM analysis is a useful tool for assessing the effectiveness of chemical peel treatments. It can also be used for quantitative assessment of skin texture.
