Acne treatments that are not considered to have antimicrobial properties can still significantly alter the skin microbiome, new research suggests.
It comes after scientists conducted a systematic review to assess the impact of acne treatment on the cutaneous microbial community, specifically of the bacterial flora, and examine the resultant changes in abundance and diversity of microbial strains.
While many acne treatments seek to target the bacteria Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), they argued very little is known about how treatments affect the wider skin microbiome.
They also argued that very little is known about how individual differences in microbial composition affect disease severity.
