ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new skin balancing gel cream to see if it is safe and how it affects the skin's natural bacteria in people who have mild to moderate acne that is not cystic. Researchers want to understand if this cream can help improve skin health while keeping the skin's microbiome, which is important for skin balance, healthy.

To participate, individuals must be between 18 and 35 years old and have mild to moderate acne. Both men and women can join, but men will need to shave their facial hair. Participants will need to stop using certain acne treatments for two weeks before starting the study. Throughout the trial, participants will use the gel cream provided by the researchers and will be asked to avoid other facial products, except for a gentle cleanser. It's important to note that pregnant or breastfeeding individuals and those with severe acne cannot join this study. If you are interested in improving your acne and meeting the eligibility criteria, this trial may be a good opportunity for you!
