Acnesium (INCI name: Maltodextrin and Punica granatum pericarp extract), a new natural active from Silab, prevents clinical signs of slight to moderate acne. According to Silab, Acnesium restores the homeostasis of acneic skin by targeting the principal abnormalities:
The clinical efficacy of Acnesium was demonstrated under dermatological control in a cohort of adult Caucasian patients suffering from slight to moderate acne.After 30 days of twice daily application, Acnesium formulated at 0.5% in an emulsified gel significantly decreased the Global Evaluation Acne (GEA score) and reduced the number of cutaneous lesions, in comparison to the placebo formula. With this care combining rapidity of action and efficacy, the pathology symptoms are attenuated, the general aspect of the skin is promoted, self-perception is enhanced and patients’ quality of life is improved, according to Silab.
- Colonization by C. acnes is limited by reducing bacterial proliferation, quorum sensing activity and biofilm formation;
- Activity of the sebaceous gland is regulated;
- Inflammation is neutralized by limiting keratinocyte, sebocyte and lymphocyte inflammatory responses; and
- Hyperkeratinization is reduced.
