Key Strategic Targets for Mitigating Acne-Affected Skin
Ratan K. Chaudhuri (Sytheon Ltd )
We have come a long way since 1896, when it was suggested that Propionibacterium acnes found in acne lesions was the cause of acne. Recently, high resolution core genome analysis combining 16S rRNA gene sequences led to changing the name of P acnes to Cutibacterium acnes (Scholtz et al , Int J Sys Evo Microbiol , 66: 4422-4432, 2016) While the commensal bacterium C acnes is involved in the maintenance of healthy skin, it can also act as an opportunistic pathogen in acne vulgaris Recent studies have shown that the relative abundance of C acnes (in metagenomics studies) is similar among patients with acne and healthy individuals (87%–89%) or even higher in healthy subjects (89% to 94%) Multiple studies highlighted that the severity of acne might not only be due to a specific C. acnes strain but also due to host and environmental factors. Early and intense inflammatory events in the epider mis have indeed been shown to contribute to the development of acne
Typically, the mean lifetime of each acne lesion is a few days for inflammatory and a few weeks for non-inflammatory ones. Two distinct, partially overlapping, processes need to be addressed during the treatment of acne One is accelerating the healing of the ongoing lesions and the other one is to prevent the huge number of sebaceous glands prone to enter the acne cycle. Therefore, the key strategic targets in acne care appear to be the pilosebaceous follicle that is not yet involved in the acne cycle and the second one is to adequately control the key switching factors of comedone formation for long term relief A multi-tasking strategy is needed to improve the conditions of acne-affected skin. Taking all these factors into consideration, we will address key targets gover ning acne therapy while preventing hyperpigmentation issues. Discussions will also include reasons for selecting ingredients for mitigating acne-affected skin

Challenges Commonly Encountered with Acne Therapy
Hilary Baldwin (Acne Treatment and Research Center)
In this presentation, we will address challenges in topical and oral acne treatment. Topical retinoids are the mainstay of acne therapy They improve existing lesions, and prevent the development of the microcomedones, which are the predecessors of future lesions However, topical retinoids can be irritating, especially in the first few weeks of treatment. This often leads to inconsistent use or discontinuation Benzoyl peroxide is a highly effective, rapid-onset antibacterial which does not promote the development of bacterial resistance. It also decreases the development of antibacterial resistance to both topical and oral antibiotics with which is it used in combination Unfortunately, benzoyl peroxide is a concentration-dependent irritant it bleaches fabric and is an uncommon sensitizer
Oral antibiotics are highly effective in treating the inflammatory lesions of acne. However, the effects are rarely durable resulting in overuse and the development of bacterial resistance Pregnant and lactating women often experience acne. Unfortunately, clinical trials do not include this population and as such, little exists in the way of efficacy or safety data As a result, these patients are generally told by their obstetricians to forgo treatment until delivery/weaning regardless of the severity of their disease.
Isotretinoin can be used to treat the most severe cases of acne and 80% of those who complete a course will not need acne treatment again It should be noted that there are many potential side effects of the drug, most of which are easily managed. The inter net tells a different story, however, frightening patients with misinfor mation

Multi-modal and 3D Imaging for Objective Evaluation of Acne
Sachin V. Patwardhan (Canfield Scientific Inc )
Lesion counts and Investigators Global Assessment (IGA) are the primary endpoints in acne clinical studies. However, they both suffer from inter- and intra-evaluator variability. Characteristics of acne lesions can be captured, detected, and objectively measured using multi-modal imaging
Collectively these detected characteristics can identify both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions, and the measurements can be translated to a global severity score These objective measurements have been used in several clinical studies as exploratory endpoints or for verifying subject enrollment Canfield Scientific’s VISIA-CRP now combines multi-modal imaging with micron-resolution 3D facial imaging. This has further improved the ability to detect, and measure, raised topography of acne lesions VISIA-CRP and its early use in reducing variability in clinical trials, standardizing outcomes, and obtaining more insights into treatment effects will be presented

Cutibacterium Acnes, Phages, and Acne
Nathan Brown (Parallel Health)
Acne vulgaris was first attributed to Cutibacterium acnes bacteria isolated from acne lesions by Raymond Sabouraud in 1897 Bacteriophages (phages), which infect bacteria, have been used to treat bacterial infections since they were discovered in the early 20th century Phages have been used to treat acne almost as long In some cases, Staphylococcus phages were used, and in other cases, Cutibacterium phages were used, which reflects the long-standing debate over which bacterium “exactly” is involved in the development of acne Currently, specific phylotypes of C acnes are thought to be involved in acne, though it’s still debated whether C. acnes has any role to play. Unfortunately, Koch’s Postulates cannot be used to clarify the role of C acnes in acne vulgaris because the bacteria are ubiquitous on healthy skin with sebaceous glands New methods such as fine-scale population genomics of C. acnes isolated from hair follicles, shotgun metagenomics methods, and topically applied phages may shed light on the role of C acnes and other bacteria in the development of acne.
n Nathan Brown, Ph.D.
Dr Nathan Brown ear ned his Ph D in microbiology in 2016 from Oregon State University, where he worked on bacteriophage and bacterial genomics, and used metagenomics to study bacterial ecology.

Evaluation of Microbiome Changes Related to Cleanser Use in Healthy and Acne Prone Skin
Amina Bouslimani (L’Oréal USA)
Topical acne management involves a judicially chosen treatment regimen paired with a compatible cleanser to remove dirt and excess oil without compromising protective lipid and microbiome barrier, while addressing acne-related microbiome imbalance. To build knowledge on the acute and long-ter m effect of cleansers on skin properties and the microbiome in healthy and acne-prone skin, different types of cleansers were evaluated over a 28-day regimen. Facial microbiome samples were collected at different intervals after cleansing and analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing and qPCR The effect of cleansing on sebum and skin hydration was evaluated at the same time points
All cleansers had a similar and transient effect on sebum, hydration, and bacterial diversity immediately after cleansing Cleanser composition had however a differential effect on the kinetics of skin properties and microbiome recovery. These results implicate the importance of future studies to support development of next generation cleansers for healthy and acne prone skin

Novel Solutions for Acne Derived from the Manuka Plant
Merve Samur (Manuka Bioscience)
Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Traditional treatments for acne include antibiotics and topical agents such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid However, these treatments are often associated with side effects and may not be effective for all individuals. Recent research has demonstrated the potential of natural products in the treatment of acne. In particular, East Cape mānuka oil and Australian tea tree oil have been found to possess potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can be har nessed for acne treatment.
East Cape mānuka oil contains up to 33% β-triketones, which have been found to be highly effective against gram-positive bacteria such as Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epider midis, with MIC values of 0.07% and 0.05-0.078%, respectively. Australian tea tree oil, on the other hand, is highly effective against gram-negative bacteria and has been found to have greater efficacy against fungi such as Candida albicans. The combination of these two oils has been shown to offer enhanced antimicrobial activity,
(continued on Page 42)

making it suitable for various therapeutic, skincare, and consumer applications
We created a synergistic blend of East Cape mānuka oil concentrate and palmarosa oil that has been found to have a range of skincare benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-acne properties. In particular, the mānuka-palmarosa oil blend has been found to be highly effective in reducing the UVR-induced IL-1b inflammatory response in skin fibroblast cells Its antibacterial properties have also been evaluated against various pathogens, including MRSA and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus species, providing a valuable alter native solution in combating antimicrobial resistance.
In anti-acne applications, a gel containing 2% (w/w) of the mānuka-palmarosa oil blend, PEG-6, and PEG-30 was found to be considerably more effective than traditional acne treatments such as 2.5% (w/w) benzoyl peroxide and 2% (w/w) salicylic acid Specifically, the mānuka-palmarosa oil blend gel was 76% more effective against C acnes and 35% more effective against S epider midis when compared to 2 5% (w/w) benzoyl peroxide When compared to 2% (w/w) salicylic acid, the gel was 141% more effective against C acnes and 244% more effective against S epider midis
In conclusion, East Cape mānuka oil offers a promising natural alter native for acne treatment. A synergistic blend of manuka and palmarosa oil has demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-acne properties, making it a versatile and effective skincare product for individuals seeking healthier, clearer skin

What if the Rules of Fighting Acne Have Changed?
Sophia Bull (Lucas Meyer Cosmetics)
Decreasing the C. acnes quantity is no longer the key to fighting acne, but its distribution between acneic and non-acneic strains is! Composed of a unique patented lysine dendrimer obtained with a green chemistry manufacturing process, we have designed a molecule that is able to selectively weaken the acneic Cutibacterium acnes (C acnes) strains to favor growth of non-acneic strains to gently rebalance and recover healthier microbiota and reduce the appearance of acne for clear and flawless skin.
Indeed, although the causes of acne are multifactorial, the involvement of microbiota is undeniable, particularly regarding the role played by C. acnes. Our knowledge about this bacterium has recently evolved to include a new understanding of its mode of action, which offers a new strategic perspective in the battle against acne Using advanced metagenomic technology, the C acnes genome revealed that this bacterium for ms a large family with several sub-groups, called phylotypes and ribotypes including acneic and non-acneic strains C acnes over-proliferation has long been thought to contribute to the development of acne, but recent studies now demonstrate that excess C. acnes colonization might not be an important factor, as a very small difference in the comparative amount of these bacteria in individuals with and without acne has been reported However, healthy skin and acneic skin have different C. acnes strain distribution profiles.
